BLAHBLOGMonday, March 31, 2008weighing time a few years ago a good friend of mine packed up his shit, put it in storage and moved out to taipei, taiwan with pretty much a backpack. nobody knew how long it would last but reaching two and a half years he seems to have no intention of coming back anytime soon. so he decided to document what life is like for a whiteboy from seattle and just the general shit that goes on in this strange metropolis that the guide books probably won't tell you. check it out. -babyhawks whoever gets this first wins
Tyson from Eriffs stopped by this afternoon and as usual we dorked out and talked iphones and technology,but it didn't stop there. We went as far as discussing the other new phones that are coming out which lead up to an hour spent looking up smokes phone and figuring out where we could get one at once.
They just released them over in China and it goes for a mere $250 but you have to purchase them in places like Tai Pei at the night markets. Well that wasn't going to work for us so that obviously lead into an ebay search that produced a great finding of one available through an auction from HK and the phone is only at $211!! What a letdown though when we saw that it was spelled Marlbara:(  Peep the photos below.        -JR Ewing of Seattle Sunday, March 30, 2008Saturday, March 29, 2008Photo of The Day

Currently a brisk 36*

Captured from the headlines:
"Two Bulgarian teenagers were rescued from a circus in Italy after one of them was forced to swim in a tank full of piranhas for public amusement this week.The girl emerged safely from her ordeal, but the younger of the two sisters, who was 16, was bitten when the circus placed her in a cage and threw snakes at her. Three Italian men were arrested in the case, and have been charged with forcing the girls to live as virtual slaves paying them 100 euros each week and forcing them to live in an animal transport trailer." Russia's dark cinema
Caught this clip on Monster Brains Blog this morning and now I am dead set on making my way to Scarecrow video to rent this masterpiece for viewing over the weekend. I love the dark themes in a lot of the Russian cinema and this is a great example of why.
Viy Spirit of Evil as quoted from wiki: "a horror short story by the Russian-Ukrainian writer Nikolai Gogol, first published in the first volume of his collection of tales entitled Mirgorod (1835). The title refers to the name of a demonic entity central to the plot." And I saw mention in the article that a remake of this film is due for release in 2009 to coincide with the 200th anniversary of Gogol's birth! Hopefully they don't use any cgi. If you are into this you should also check out the film Alice by Jan Svankmajer. I viewed this a couple weeks back with a special someone and absolutely loved it. The special effects are to die for and the dark costumes,props and sets are incredible. -JR Ewing of Seattle Thursday, March 27, 2008Koreans are weird...
Don't worry... I'm only halfway weird.
   If you're ever in South Korea, make sure you stop and have a drink with Hitler.... at the Hitler Bar in Busan. When the owner was asked what he was thinking when he named his bar he replied... "I wanted to design a beer bar with something shocking that would attract the young generation. Beer got me thinking about Germany (the home of beer) which made me think of Hitler,he is no different than Alexander the Great or Gengis Khan. They were all conquerors who killed many people and they are all big men in the sense of their notoriety living on long after they died." Nazis are the first thing I think of when I think of beer.... syke! What a wacko. gina b. get your boogie on to this:
the homie Mike at ALIFE just sent me this download link for the new Neil Nice mixtape, it loads as one track but is a pretty banging dance mix.

"In this world there are only two tragedies. One is not
getting what one wants, and the other is getting it." -Oscar Wilde Wednesday, March 26, 2008Spiders On DrugsApparently the guys at the United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have a bit of time on their hands and decided to take little spiders out and get them wasted. The experiments they conducted showed what the psychotropic drug induced state did to their mechanical web-spinning. "NASA scientists believe the research demonstrates that web-spinning spiders can be used to test drugs because the more toxic the chemical, the more deformed was the web." I personally wouldn't mind having the Marijuana, Benzedrine & Chloral Hydrat induced webs spun in corners of my apartment.  Drug Free Mescaline/Peyote LSD MarijuanaSpiders on marijuana made a reasonable stab at spinning webs but appeared to lose concentration about half-way through.  CaffeineOne of the most common drugs consumed by Britons in soft drinks, tea and coffee, makes spiders incapable of spinning anything better than a few threads strung together at random.  Benzedrine (Speed)spiders spin their webs "with great gusto, but apparently without much planning leaving large holes", according to New Scientist magazine.  Chloral Hydrat (an ingredient of sleeping pills)Spiders "drop off before they even get started" -Hellel Tuesday, March 25, 2008Monday, March 24, 2008PHOTOS FROM THE GIRL PARTY UP!

The Seattle area has ranked second — to Miami — as the nation's cleanest city of the year, according to Forbes magazine. The 2008 rating is based on federal air-quality rankings, combined with drinking-water quality, how much each city spends per capita on garbage handling and recycling, and on the cleanup of toxic Superfund sites. Weather patterns help keep Seattle's air relatively clean, and it's known for its clean drinking water piped from high in the Cascade Mountains. Seattle spent the most per person of any city on handling trash and recycling, according to Forbes. It also has a large Superfund site on its front porch, in the Duwamish River. Second is pretty damn good but lets hope the bikes keep pushing and more and more people say fuck some $4/gallon gas and maybe we can be number one next year.-babyhawks Sunday, March 23, 2008WTF Why is this still going on?
read this and was furious:
With $50 and a plane ticket to Haiti, one can buy a slave. This was just one of the difficult lessons writer Benjamin Skinner learned while researching his book, A Crime So Monstrous: Face-to-Face with Modern-Day Slavery. Skinner met with slaves and traffickers in 12 different countries, filling in the substance around a startling fact: there are more slaves on the planet today than at any time in human history. How much? After adjusting for inflation, Skinner found that, "In 1850, a slave would cost roughly $30,000 to $40,000 - in other words it was like investing in a Mercedes. Today you can go to Haiti and buy a 9-year-old girl to use as a sexual and domestic slave for $50. The devaluation of human life is incredibly pronounced." read more here - JR Ewing of Seattle Saturday, March 22, 2008Photo Of The Day more pictures from the Girl Party up soon. click photo for photographyy -Jordan Love's Cats Girls Just Want To Have Fun The ladies are taking over the shop today and there is no reason why you shouldn't be joining us.

Susan believes that the only way she can ever be happy in life is to have both of her legs amputated: To the general public, people like me are sick and strange, and that's where it ends. I think it is a question of fearing the unknown. Few people who haven't experienced it themselves can understand what I am going through. It is not a sexual thing, it is certainly not a fetish, and it is nothing to do with appearances. I simply cannot relate to myself with two legs: it isn't the "me" I want to be. I have long known that if I want to get on with my life I need to remove both legs. I have been trapped in the wrong body all this time and over the years I came to hate my physical self. damn chicks pretty hot, but definitely a basket case -babyhawks The Old Circle's Last Stand The old Winners Circle put up a good fight this week, but I think it ultimately came crashing down with the rest of the block.

"I would tell you what's gonna happen this summer, but Im a General and I dont talk to runners" -JR Ewing of Seattle Get a life... (AP) A painful breakup with his wife has prompted a man to put his entire life _ his house, his car, his job, even his friends _ up for sale online in an effort to start over. Ian Usher, a British immigrant to Australia, said Tuesday he would auction everything he owns and more on e-Bay starting June 22. Up for bid is Usher's three bedroom house in the western city of Perth and everything inside it, his car, motorcycle, jet ski and parachuting gear. Usher says he is also selling a one-time introduction to his friends and a trial run at his job _ a plan endorsed by his friends and his employer. Usher said his life will be sold in one lot, and that bidders should expect to pay more than $390,000, which is the upper end of a realtor's valuation of his house that he has posted online. -babyhawks Monday, March 17, 2008Monday Evening at Inner City Empire I work seven days a week, morning to wee morning sans day off.

Here's a scene from one of my favorite movies, Waking Life. It's basically this dude walking around a dream world talking to people bout this and that, philosophical concepts and junk. it's pretty trippy. the movie was filmed with digital video and then animated over by 50 differnt animators. the different scenes each have a different style to them so it's pretty dope. check it out!

Adriana Torres-Florres was arrested for selling bootlegged cd's as well as for being an illegal immigrant last week.
She was booked and sent to court to face the normal punishments. To her surprise she was unwittingly signing up for a game of SURVIVOR "Booking Island". The police officer at the court house placed her back in her cell and took off for the weekend to pursue the free life, meanwhile Adrianna braved a weekend of 24 hour light, fasting and having to do #1's and #2's right where she was to sleep and live for the weekend.

The cross-dressing photos of boxer Oscar de la Hoya, which could be found all over the web, are bringing more trouble than initially appeared. The hot stripper, who claimed she took the pictures of de la Hoya in fish nets, Milana Dravnel, is now suing the fighter for $100 million, according to the New York Post. According to the newspaper, Milana Dravnel has filed a lawsuit in New York, naming Oscar de la Hoya and two unnamed defendants, for alleged fraud, defamation, interference with contract, infliction of emotional distress and undue influence. Allegedly de la Hoya has threatened Dravnel to keep silent and not publish the sassy photos. "They did everything they could to thwart her being able to sell this, saying they weren't real, photo-shopped, and that she didn't know what she was doing. That she was just a stripper. There were so many people involved. Phone calls from people saying they were FBI agents or speaking on behalf of FBI agents. They did everything. It's the perfect case of David against Goliath and she got Goliath Junior on their case," Milana Dravnel's attorney, Salvatore Strazullo, was quoted by the NY Post.
