Size Matters

size matters, and in the case of daylight less is more. The time of year is upon us when the days are shorter and the the nights are colder. To many, this marks the end of good times and staying out until the wee hours of the evening. Yet I feel that these are the glory times. The times when we all must suck every last drop of life out of the day, and savor every second that the sun graces the earth with its radiant presence. This also marks the time of year when beautiful sunsets are in abundance. Here are a few photos from a day when the sunlight was not taken for granted.



The sky is ablaze.



The soothing slant of Evergreen High's parking lot.



Tis a Nugget.

Spot Check

I love fish. I love touching them, I love eating them, and I sure as hell love getting in bed naked with a couple of fine scaly flipper flopping floozies and... well... you know. When it comes to devouring sea creatures I am far from picky, but I do have a soft spot in my heart for fish tacos and other mexican seafood dishes. Dia De Pesca is located on the corner of Bascom and San Carlos and is definitely forth a visit.


Just look for this glowing beacon of hope.

My pops got enchiladas with snapper. This sauce will turn your balls green.


What would a mexican meal be without some flan?


Tom Calderwood's expression says it all, "yah that's what's up."

Recapping and Crapping

As I sit here defecating with much joy and delight, I find that my brain is occupied with wispy leave coated images of october. With each chunk of poop comes a different memory of fall. I can see Halloween decorations adorning lawns, I can smell roasted gourds bursting from a hot oven, and I can smile knowing that good times have been had and more will surely follow. Below is a collection of random photos that illustrate the joys of october.











P.s I actually was not taking a dump during this post.

Eat your Damn Pie, Damnit

Pie is one of the greatest things on the planet, and so is pumpkin, and so is fall, and so are nuts... so therefore by default, pumpkin pie with nut topping must be the single most amazing to grace god's green earth . One slice of this pie contains more than half the daily requirement of vitamin A, and a nice wholesome helping of protein and fiber (I think). So grub away my friends, because fall is upon us and everyone needs some pie in their lives.

Ghouls Over my Garage

I know that Halloween is closing in when ghouls start appearing above my garage. It makes it hard for me to skate my box when there is a menacing demon looming over my head, but at least it enhances my holiday spirit.

A Grinch for every Season

As Halloween approaches it is important to pay tribute to those frightful animated films that bring us thrills and chills. People typically think of Tim Burton's The NIghtmare Before Christmas and Charlie Brown's The Great Pumpkin when it comes to animated fright flicks, but what about Dr. Sues?

unbeknownst to most, not only did the Grinch terrorize Whoville during Christmas but also on Halloween night! Halloween is Grinch Night was released during the late 70's and boasts some bizarre creatures and subtle religious undertones, that may or may not lend to the film's obscurity. Having said this, I doubt Grinch NIght is available at your local Blockbuster (no offense Chase), so come over to my home and we will have pie and a movie night.



That damn Grinch is always getting into some creepy ass shit.

Smells I am Intrigued by

Fall smells better than all of the other seasons combined, pureed in a food processor, sprinkled with brown sugar, and baked to a perfect golden brown. Nothing compares to the scent of the crisp morning air, and freshly steamed pumpkin spiced lattes of fall. All these aromas are in abundance during this glorious season, however lately I have been confronted with some thought provoking smells (the below pictures are not of the actual event).



The first smell that presented itself to me was that of festering rain soaked dumpster filth. I took a shortcut to my class today and found a wonderful collection of trash cans and recycling bins that had been drenched by the torrential downpour the day before. The smell reminded me of a wet rotting dog carcass encased in old pizza boxes.



The second pungent aroma I encountered was at the Roosevelt Park mere hours ago. While gleefully rolling around on my skateboard I noticed a dark cloud of smoke engulfing my surroundings. After some investigating I discovered that the fog of filth was coming from a bbq fifty yards away. This particular grill session must have been fueled by plastic bottles and dried up feces because after an hour or so of exposure to the smoke I felt light headed and weak.
