as a BOY, in Madden 92 I always ran the same PLAY



Today me and Alan came into the posession of several dozen Playboys from the 60's and 70's, when the models were perfect womenz. Hopefully in the next week, the creation of an amazing collage will come out of this for a Byrds of Paradise poster or cover or something. I'll probably also try to work on a piece from the Octshowber, get it cause its a show, and in october? get it? While looking through my folder of images I have saved for future collages and such I came across a great Elton John cover for his Greatest hits 1970-2002, which would make an awesome rip off piece with Kenny's face, or anyones for that matter. Well hopefully some good pieces come soon, but for now I will keep watching the newest season of Degrassi that is sooo awkward and its all new young kids who i dont like.... except for that Muslim chick, shes banging, and her brother is Irfon.

Your shit is WEEK!


so this week was pretty good, it had its ups and downs, but overall was pretty darn fun. Got to start off chillin with B double D at her parents pad which is always fun because its in such a nice building, has super cable and a big ass TV, unfortunately you're not allowed to touch anything, and everything in the surrounding area is expensive as hell. Anyway, got to hang with her illustration friends who are nice, except they are 14 year old girls who are awkward and get mad over dumb things... or they are just straight up bitches like a certain Morristown resident who doesnt even like babe... i mean come on. Anyway, met one cool chicadee, who after a 2nd awkward encounter in nyc doesn't seem to be down but I'm sure we will still hang as buddies. Anyway, after the weekend I went to the city with Mr. Yuch, and chilled with DB, Earth Song, and his lady friends from Cali, had an awesome time except for sleeping on the floor. Monday we "partied hard" into the wee hours, as Portugal and his girlfriend Portugal watched with amazement. Tuesday we hit up all the closed galleries in chelsea, then chilled in central park and watched shirtless dudes play Frisbee, and well as old dudes doing Frisbee tricks. That night we went to a Vivian Girls show, that was sooo fucking packed and hot, and had waaay too much reverb on the mics.

so I come home wednesday with alan and plan on going home to just relax for the day before thursday night, but Alan and AC call and ask if I wanna go get food, which turns into "hey you wanna go to weezer/blink 182" which I said yes, and we went, had awesome seat thanks to AC and had an awesome time. Got to sit 4th row for Blink 182 and was personally called out by mark hoppus for texting while he was playing.

Well now its thrusday and Im just chillin waitin for alan to get back from New York cause he helping someone move, then hes gonna roll with me to Baltimore and help ME move. That's right, I'm finallly getting out of Baltimore, and I can't fucking wait, though I will miss some good Taco Bell and Mtn Dew hangouts while we watch King of Queens... and some other stuff I guess.

Back To The Present


Alright, as to reiterate the same as everyone, no one reads this, but I might as well keep up with what I'm doin anyway. Finally getting out of Baltimore and movin up north to NJ for a few weeks (hopefully) then up to Brooklyn with Alan and Dave. Right now im just workin and being bored, watching terrible movies all day and night, being personally driving around by mr yuch who loves to drive. Anyway, this isnt a long one, just wanted to put somethin down in order to get back into the swing of things, hopefully in the next couple days I'll be able to update the FOM blog with some new work, maybe even some new members/contirubtors. Im gonna work on a few tshirt/poster ideas, as well as a much overdue poster for Byrds of Paradise, Kenny Browns new band, if they'll let me. Anyway, back to a good movie finally, Boyz n the Hood, havnt seen it in some time VIGGA!

Niggas Speak About Greatness Whenever They Speak About Me

So I finally posted up all my pics from NY Comic Con 09, I had about 115, and I feel like a failure, I wish I had taken triple that, there was soooo much great shit I wish I could share with everyone. I dont really feel like writing about everything cause I aint no journalizorist, so I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves. Here are some of the best ones, you can see the rest on my Facebook.

shhhhh, fireman comin


So I've basically realized today its been over a month at school and I have done literally nothing, im pathetic.  My first actual assignment for my only studio class was to design a biz card for someone else in my class.  I was paired with a girl who immediately disliked me in our initial interview cause i started by saying "I hate the West Coast, but I've never been there" and shes from Seattle so it didn't go well.  So anyway, all her art is very illustrative and cute but still some what serious, so its basically like saying  "Hey Jonny Tats, do me a favor, bang this girl then when you're done draw me a perfectly straight line.", it just dont work.  So after my first attempt at something "cute", possibly involving something from her work, clouds, and the color "if you had yellow and accidentally got some black in it", I came up with this...



and sent it to her for approval.  Got a response basically saying she didn't like it all and I had to restart.  Also I forgot to mention I was out for a week cause I was sick, so at this point the final design was due the day before by 5pm, so its already 24+ hours late, and one of her reasons was because that bird was a winter bird cause it had a winter hat so it didn't make sense cause winter was over.

So today I had to start over and decided to make several designs for her to pick from, she said I should just keep it simple, so for some reason I said, fuck it, I'll do a and drawn Fred Perry rip off, which was design 1.  However, it was design 2 where I was shinnin', this design was flawless and I sent them both to her. So here were the 2 new designs I sent




and what happens?  of course she's lame so she chooses the simple one, so what do I do?  I take the amazing Rambo gold for myself.  So hopefully you see my new business card soon once I get some money goin.

So besides my letterpress class I have Thesis, which I literally havn't done anything for and I feel like shit casue I still have a full size 8x10x8 room I have to build, AND print 46,224 sq. inches of wallpaper, AND do a ceiling mural, AND paint a full carpet, AND appulster a chair, AND do a bust and mask with Nick, AND finish my 4x5, AND do atleast 1 or 2 more projects.

But tonight is Lil Wayne night, I've been listening to Carter III all night and now im just searching YouTube videos of lil wayne videos cause they are all amazing, I suggest watching all these classics.  Also I', usually not one to promote internet jokes because I usually hate them, including everything that has come from Andy Sandberg, but this is perfect, especially when TPain salutes 8 times in a row.








so after searching, i have discovered that apparently everyone disables embedding on their youtube videos which is complete bullshit so Im not even gonna bother with the other lil wayne classics, so just watch the I'm on a Boat video.  Also dont forget to check out Cash Money Millionaires and the Hot Boys because we all know "If you list the Hot Boys as your favorite music, then you know everything about music"

Create a New Blog

so I feel like I havnt posted in awhile, pretty much because I have nothing to post about. Im stuck at home and havnt done any work cause im a complete piece of shit. I dont really work which I need to be doing cause I dont have any money, however I am suppose to start up FOM. Me and Garrett will hopefully meet up soon to start FOM which I like to call a Mag or Magz, which is made up slang for a DIY magazine thats more than just a stupid little "zine", anyway after endless hours of trying to figure out a way to get the name fom.blogspot.com because its takin yet has never been used nor has any contact info for the owner, ive decided to just think of some clever names that we could possibly used. And since there is no limit I decided to just register all my ideas just incase there is someone with rediculous referances wanted to make terrible blogs aswell. So far ive got these registered...

10SecondShotClock.blogspot.com

DrippingLikeWater.blogspot.com
UpUpInTheSky.blogspot.com

so go over and check those out if you have some time.

anyway I was trying to think of something I can write about to fill my time, and I figure since I am up till about 6 am every night, I might as well spend it doing more than watching the terrible movies on demand, and instead writing about these terrible movies while I watch a terrible movie. At first when I started writting this entry I decided to give I am Ledgend a second chance, it was on for about 7 minutes before I changed it to Untracable.

anyway, some movies I watched recently was Bobby, Diary of the Dead, I Know Who Killed Me, Doomsday and Southland Tales.

Bobby was actually good so Ill skip that one, good job Emilio, but def not your greatest work.

Now Diary of the Dead, that was a bad movie that could have been decent really. It was a decent zombie movie, and Romero did a good job of keeping all the zombies slow like they should be unlike the new Dawn and Land movies. However Romero tried sooooo hard to return to his Night of the Living Dead days and make more than just a zombie flick, but make a film with a strong social commentary, which this bullshit had tons of, only in an extremely "attempting to connect to the youth" way. The whole movie was shot in first person and was all about our societies obsession with documentation whether it be the truth or simpy entertainment. Anyway, after quick mentions of youtube and myspace including a converstion about how many "hits" they are getting, the movie took a final twist to throw in another strong social commentary where we see hicks using zombies as target practice and using a female zombie to blow up with a 12 gauge with the final line questioning "are we even worth saving". well after an hour and a half of shaky cameras, a shitty Sarah Conner rip off monotone monologue voice over, and this fucking clown who was a cliche drunk european veteran who spewed shitty meaningful one liners about war and killing, I had just about enough. Luckily it ended abrubtly like most terrible movies and left me completely unsatisfied.

A deaf Amish man who helps the college rejects.... fucking clown shoes.


Ok well now onto Doomsday, wow, I was warned by Jonny Stains about this one, but I decided not to regard his terrible opinions when it comes to someone who didn't like X-Men 2, The Dark Knight, Armageddon, The Cable Guy, Wayne's World, or even Die Hard... I mean really who doesnt like Die Hard.

Anyway, Doomsday, its hard to show really how bad this ones without watching it and pointing out the insanity in this one. Simply put the guy who directed this garbage heap, who also did the Decent, garbage, obviously just decided to rip off parts of several other movies he enjoyed and edit them together to be a full length movie. It starts off with a S.T.A.R.S type swat troop invading a Mad Max run city with Post apocolyptic neo punk psychos with many scenes clearly ripping off the Warriors including a scene stolen DIRECTLY from the Skinhead Bus scene, though on a side note he did throw in an homage to the Warriors by having a baseball fury in the crowd of punx. anyway, turns into of course a lone Heroin whos sexy yet still badazzzzzzzzzz (rez evil type) who evetually escapes these rebelz. To make this review short cause there is noo point in wasting time any more. This Heroin leads her rag tag troop to a land of knights and castles.. YES, KINGHTS, and CASTLES! then steals a Bentley to get away from the Knights...Bentley, Knights, just checking to make sure you are following. This leads to a terrible straight out of Mad Max car chase with the punkz again, which is set to Two Tribes, because when i think of a sweet car battle, i think of 80s new wave as well. well this chase ends in the bentley ramming straight into the side of a bus, but in a terrible Speed type of way somehow launches into the air and lows through it without a scratch. And thats pretty much the end of the movie. Oh there is a massive Zombie outbreak the whole time aswell thought you only see them for half a scene and they get about 2 minutes of screen time.

So just to recap, if you want to make a film all you need to simply do is this:

1. make a list of movies you like, in this case, the Warriors, The Road Warrior, Resident Evil, First Knight, The Transporter, and of course A Knights Tale.
2. Recreate scenes, setting, and characters from these movies directly
3. splice them all together with simple transitions and plotlines that are god awful.
4. make money because people are stupi
5. be hired to make the sequal, which Doomsday is making.

Ohh and just to let you know, at the end the Heroin decides not to return to zombie invested London, but rather returns to the Punk hell hole, present them with their leaders decapitaed head, and is quickly accepted as their new leader.



well I would love to end this post with a great critiques of Southland Tales, which wasnt that bad really, and of course the mecca of greatness I Know Who Killed Me, Lohan's own Citizen Kane. But you'll have to wait for another moment of boredom for that one, casue right now I just couldn't handle reliving the pain.
