Shop Dropping

In my digital arts class I learned about this new form of art that is basically the opposite of shop-lifting. Underground artists go into stores and buy products like T-Shirts from American Outfitters, Coca-Cola Bottles from supermarkets, and other items that are popular in America today. They then proceed to either make new labels for them, screen print their own logos, or make stickers to put on display. The cool part about it is many underground artists get their work out and can make a political statement on the advertisement attitudes of our culture.

Here are some pictures I found:

Movie Time

Monty and I working on a movie today. We will keep our 6 users updated every few hours. Oh and it's Nick Fisher's birthday this weekend, Pop Bottles at my house.

Where have all the good Burritos gone?

It's no wonder that so many of us have found ourselves hungry these days.

Luckily there is a solution. One that I've found resolution with many times.

So if you live in Albany, Berkeley, San Francisco or close by, you should come on down to Gordo Taqueria.



One time we saw what's his face there. Fuckin...the guy in Patch Adams.

Using the blog to make myself feel better.

Edit: I apologize to the blog. I should not have said my post was the first real one, completely uncalled for. Please don't ban me, I can't go back to the Vesti.

Sadly I'm going to post the first real post. It’s 8am. I can't sleep. My girlfriend and I are done. I look forward to the future but I cannot begin to believe that I will not be sharing it with her. I know with time everything can heal but right now I don't want to. I feel helpless in the situation and that is what bothers me the most. Maybe it is for the best, I will never know, but it is what it is. Coming to terms with that will be the hardest thing I've done in quite some time. Not having a full schedule is a big part of why I feel so empty right now, so that is the first thing I have to work on. If I can get through this stage of my life I think that I'm going to be able to do nearly anything. Sappy as this all is, and as much as you guys are going to make cracks, I feel better putting my thoughts out there in the world. Unfortunately I had to follow the greatest post of all time, Rob and Schwimmers passionate night together. FUCKING FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK. :|

"I'm gonna finish this fifth" - Robert Belmont

I hope everyone will rally in support of our most promising candidate in many years. He's well aware of his growing fanbase.

Don't forget to read his enthralling story below, it's a true testament to how he would run the country.

Added on 11/24/2008: Also look out for him in this month's issue of The Philistine magazine.
