Best of 2008

I don't know about you but I love the end of the year "best of" lost. I don't know why I care, I agree with only a fraction of the lists. I always wonder who these people are who seam to be the voice of the entire nation and say Britney Spears has done it again. I would like to say I am such a voice but my voice is only so loud. I have very little credibility but I think I have an eye (or an ear) for awesome. I do speak to whoever will listen so here it is.

KEEPIN IT EPIC'S BEST OF 2008

ALBUM
MGMT (it did come out last year but did anybody but me even notice?)

We can't argue Coldplay did it this year.

MOVIE
Vicky Cristina Barcelona


BOOK (that I have not read yet)


TV
The Hills (again)


I could go on but if you want to see what's been awesome this year, just look in the archives.

ps. let me know your favs

Merry Christmas

I guess I am no good at growing a good one so my sister in law figured I could use some help.

PS. there are 6 more

please verify

You know when you change something on an account and they ask you to type the random word, or words, so you can "verify" it's you, or something? I find the radomness very humorous and thus I pass along to you the latest on I had to verify.
OPENED SHATZKIN
Not sure what that means, but it proves it was me leaving a comment on Terry's blog

Shred Premier

stolen from the sk8 blog who stole from Luke's blog.

be clean with the hygiene

this is my new favorite blog...for now

The hills recap

Last nights episode was rather interesting but in a boring way. It's like planning the get together of a lifetime and then feeling the "was that it?" afterward. (Actually I kinda feel like that after every episode) Anyway, the list of situations in this episode were:
-Whitney moving to NY "the city'
-Heidi and Spencer getting "married"
-Lauren crying or complaining about something.
With a set list like that, it was sure to be a good one. It was actually anti climactic and Whitney's goodbye went on way too long. The highlight was Justin's only line of the episode. When Spencer's sister was stressing to Audrina about how the two of them just disappeared without telling anyone (mostly her) Justin says "maybe we should put up signs." I talk about it but it's not as funny as how He says it in a sort of way too imply "who cares, stop stressing and get over it" It was exactly what I was thinking so maybe that's why I laughed.

birthday?...Anybody?

One of the bands I've been into for a while are Cut Copy and they will be in the states again next year for a few shows but no Salt Lake. The closest show is in Las Vegas on March 13 (happy b-day mom). Not really worth it to drive all that way to spend more money on one show. If this show was only on the same weekend, then it would be worth it.

so into this right now

take out please

I don't do deliveries.

don't hold your integrity too tight, it just might pop.

oops

drop science like girls be droppin babies

"wu tang is for the children"

DAFT PUNK ELECTROMA 24 HOURS ONLY

"Pitchfork's own Pitchfork.tv will screen Electroma for one night and one night only this very weekend. It's just like their usual "One Week Only" feature, except, you know, for a night. The "odyssey" begins tomorrow (Friday) at 8 p.m. EST and concludes precisely 24 hours later, at 8 p.m. on Saturday, which should provide ample time for approximately 19 successive viewings of the 74-minute film"

THANKS VICE RECORDS for the heads up!

crayola watercolours

so I've started "painting" a little. There is a story behind all of them, well not really a story, it's more of an explanation.

accidental

While getting ready for The amazing Race finale, we bumped into the end of this. luckily it only took a day to find it online. He is the only man who can pull off wearing pajamas in public. That does mean mr Playboy Hefner does not pull it off at all, he just looks creepy.

Watch CBS Videos Online
Ps. how ridiculous is it when girls (or anyone) wears those terribly patterned pajama bottoms in public? Almost puke? I know i do.

Wesley Snipes update

Turns out Blade 27 didn't do that well at the box office, so he (Mr. Snipes) now works at Costco.

ps. I work part time at a book store so who am i to say anything.

Donny Miller

From the same guy that brought you the "99cent store coming soon" brings this epic gem.

Green card

After literally walking through a maze such as the one posted above, stacks and stacks of paper work and a few long lines. It is all over and I got my card in the mail over the weekend. It does have a little green on it so it wasn't too disappointing. Assuming it was all over, i had to sit in another room with a slew of not too clean individuals waiting, in a small room, to get a social security card. I guess i have to take back my previous statement of it being all over. Within 8-14 days I will get my other card and it will all be over. Exciting for me, not too much for all 3 of you that read this blog.

Not even this guy can get me out now

Guest Blogger in Mexico

The Notorious DRL aka Da-Rell went on a "business" trip to Mexico. Tacos and cool buildings. It was hard only picking 5 out of the 87 photos. Stay tuned for when he goes to Africa...

F.C.S.I.

while visiting the wild world of California, my wife discovered this man wearing what we thought was a raccoon hat. Turns out it was his hair.

coldplay show

After a rather long (annoying) situation and buying another set of non faulty tickets, we got into the show. I thought it was a very good, keep in mind the last show I went to in a arena or stadium was U2 back in 1997. The songs were good, Chris was entertaining, the water we drank was nice and cold.

Gabrielle took this one and it's way better than any of the ones I took,

as you can tell

pretty radical

McDonalds in Japan is on some next level for their new concept stores.

CHECK IT

strictly quarter pounders

tonight...

...live in salt lake

I have said it all before

I know I have said this before but this is the best thing EVER!
PINK FLOYD BOX SET
The website is radical.

my bro

This post is dedicated to my bro Tyler. He has a part coming out in Sk8 skates newest flick, has been features in a couple buddy cam flicks and he was in my wedding party. Flying all the way from Canada to hang out for a wedding can never be repaid. He did fly to Southern California but that's besides the point. This dude is a full blown skateboarder.



Wreck V part

PS. BUDDY CAM ANTHOLOGY DVD is finished and on it's way to the mail box...

a little too far...

looks like some people are going a little overboard. You be the judge.

hummm

this could have been good, instead it's awesome...

...in a very lame way

Belated 50

My dad is not a fan of attention so my sisters made a point to make sure that didn't happen when the big guy turned 50.

this sign was put up in a window

Shake your BARRACKAS

Thanks Jay Z

16 jefs

another documentary

Instead of bling i guess the new thing in hip hop is documentaries.
I posted the Wu tang one and now this one on Jim Jones. The Jim Jones one actually looks well done.

welcome to November

I don't need to say anything more

halloween

I got this program that allow you to make normal pictures look like polaROIDS. Its pretty rad. Also my mustache is getting rather legit

best of both worlds

My wife thinks i'm lame cause i have every Jay Z album and my friends think i'm gay because i have all the coldplay albums. What does this mean?

Hairspray

Upon cleaning the house, Gabrielle got sidetracked with her box(s) of hair

Jeans

Went and saw SisterHood of the Traveling Pants number Two last night. Timeless classic is all I can say. A few tear moments, and serious life challenges. These girls have been through a lot, too bad there will be no 3. :( (sad face)

ps. unlike the girls, I wash my jeans... every 6 months or so.

rad stuff

The library here in Salt Lake made some rad art stuff with cans. Nomal Tuna and Soup cans.

new favourite book

on Christmas list for sure

Favourite sons

I have been doing this blog for a year now... Crazy, I know. Lame? yes, i know that too. I had an old one back in 2004-2005, before the days of blogger, and that one was even lamer. Is lamer even a word? I use a lot of words that aren't even words. Anyway. just thought I would post a band that I like. This post is all about the band Favourite Sons.
When you're away from me live.

Interview

onetrackmind

shut up tyra

Just like every other early twenties white kid, I was checking out Slim Thug videos on you tube and found this Gem.
Tyra is the stupidest person on the planet, tryin to be like Oprah, maybe she should let her guest actually speak. takes almost 2 minutes for him to get a chance to answer.

oasis

got the new oasis album the other day and it's good...my opinion.

new coldplay EP.

yes I am a coldplay fan and no i'm not gay.
One thing that bums me out when a band comes out with a CD is that you will most likely have to wait a couple years to get another new one. I do know exactly how selfish that sounds. With Coldplays latest album coming out just a few months ago, i felt that same bummer. However the difference this time around is that Coldplay is releasing a new EP next month with 8 new tracks.

should be a goodie

This video looks sick, I have talked about it before. It is out now by the way.

Just Add Water DVD

Dope new art.

Gabrielle and I got this piece a couple weeks ago. Thought you might like to see it.
