Impressing the Ladies: Volume 1
i’m filing this video on how to create a wine carrier out of a square piece of cloth under “how to impress the ladies“.
i can also see myself folding two fragile wine bottles in the cloth like a smartass and then having the bottom fall out and one of the bottles breaking all over my date’s feet and spraying her with red wine.
she would probably also be wearing white and some sort of a one-of-a-kind-irreplaceable-scarf.
it’s just how i roll.
dryer sheet scented rain
the best part about doing laundry on a sunday afternoon is when my dryer blows its exhaust on to my porch and when you overload a dryer full of towels with lavendar-scented-dryer sheets your porch-oasis smells awesome.
also, run-on-sentences and hypens are pretty cool too.
Let’s Go Seahawks
Round 1 of the NFL playoffs kickoff today and so does the ‘hawks run to the superbowl.

UPDATE 2: hawks win…bring on green bay
put a little something in our lemonade
dear 8lb 6oz newborn baby jesus,
please forgive me for waiting until 2008 to start listening to ‘the national‘.
to make up for it, i’m going to post ‘fake empire‘ on my blog for everyone to enjoy.
i’m not sure if that’s legal and stuff, but…i think that’s what you would do.

amen.
watching films on your phone
courtesy of ‘best week ever‘ here’s the greatest video i’ve seen in 2008 (and i watch a lot of gd-videos).
i would take a huckabee vs obama election
a southern baptist preacher just won the republican iowan caucus. the very dude who is quoted as saying:
“The immigration issue is not so much about people coming to pick lettuce or make beds, it’s about people who could come with a shoulder-fired missile and could do serious damage and harm to us…”
-Mike Huckabee
Merlin Mann described Huckabee best with this quote:
Mike Huckabee, whose foreign policy experience to date encompasses english muffins, chinese checkers, and sight-reading the bass tab for Toto’s 1982 hit, “Africa.”
In more optimistic news, Barack Obama won the democratic caucus and rarely in U.S. history has there been such a striking contrast between the ideology of the two leading parties.
rambo
so i am a child of the 80′s.
my name is jeff and i’m 30 years old.
with that being said, i grew up w/ rambo.
i loved the rambo movies.
i memorized that shit.
i can still remember running through the sprinklers in my backyard w/ my rambo playset killing all kinds of vietnamese scum (back in the 80s hollywood was really hung up on ‘nam)
like it was yesterday, i can remember walking around the video store and finding “rambo: first blood” and then getting rejected b/c it was only on VHS while my fam rocked the BetaMax.
if you were born AFTER 1980 then you may be unaware that video tapes used to come in 2 formats: VHS and BetaMax. also—to prove how old i am—my family’s first VCR had a remote control that you had to PLUG into the front of the machine. that’s right…a remote that had a cable attached to the unit.
rad.
this little walk down memory lane is brought to you by the new rambo movie that i will be dragging the pretty girl to despite her protests.
she’s rad so i wont even have to bribe her w/ a trip to bed-bath-beyond or pier1imports or anything. ok so i might have to go to pier1 after the flick but it will be SO worth it.
check out this trailer and TRY to tell me you dont still love the 80s and john rambo. also, this is the super-dirty-bloody-trailer that hollywood didnt want you to see!
dun-dun-DUH!
moving to NY for the sake of the art
ever since i got my canon dSLR i’ve been trying to achieve a great ‘vintage look’ to my photos.
by vintage i mean something like this w/ all sorts of saturation and punch in a B&W shot:
maybe i need to move to NY?
oh and while we’re talking about NY here’s a great track from LCD Soundsystem called ‘new york i love you but you’re bringing me down’

p.s. i have no reason to believe that this photo was shot in NY but it makes the post that much more interesting
radiohead webcast
so radiohead did this live new year’s eve in-studio-webcast. i missed the live video b/c i was too busy out being a rockstar-in-my-own-right w/ the pretty girl.
luckily the internet is like one big fuck tivo and you too can watch the video whenever you feel the urge.
