So I guess even pet owners are racists. I know there is been a lot of love being thrown around with all the Haiti help and aid and various charity organizations but this is a little ridick… Virtually Home Chicago is a non for profit pet adoption agency in Chicago which helps via their website and clinic. They allow you to see online what pets are available so you can adopt them foster them, etc. Well i guess they are having a problem with the blacks. According to their site: “black cats and dogs have the lowest adoption rate and the highest euthanasia rate…” They even held a BENEFIT to raise awareness… I love pets and i love my dog but a BENEFIT to raise AWARENESS about BLACK pets!??? Whats next, a rally by the German shepherds about pure breeds? a benefit for poodles who cannot get the proper hair care they truly deserve?
So in fit of procrastination instead of doing my drawing homework this morning, I decided to stumble upon some sites to cure my boredom. I mean life could never be the same after a wicked weekend at home with the Travers clan in celebration of Dee’s 21st. So in my quest to find some entertaining sites, I’m glad i first came across this badboy, which would sure make Lil Mike and Bri guy proud-and i was glad to see even stormtroopers enjoy the weekends. And if I’m procrastinating, why not procrastinate comfortably and in style with these unique and creative pillow designs. I think anna will go optimus gaga over these optimus pillows! And if I’m not doing my own art homework, why not get inspired by someone else’s, who makes something cool everyday or you even create your own online version of Jackson Pollock? And if that didn’t cure my boredom, this sure did the trick by recreating songs on my cellular device-frere jacques anyone? And if your not about remaking classics on your telephone-and you like rap just as much as the next matt colletti, then you’ll love this montgomery flea market diddy. it’s just like, it’s just like, a mini mall! I also thought this site was pretty cool where they take simple things and make them fun.  And if I’m going to be a bum today, I might as well learn something new, and who wouldn’t want to learn about farts-this info page might be as funny as the fart machine (who am I kidding no one can top the fart machine.)
Last but least Snoop D O double G and LMFAO (Shots! SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS! EVERYBODY!) are coming to ISU april 9th. below is the flyer for it. anyone interested? Â
I hope you enjoy these links as much as I’m about to go enjoy myself a nice cold arnold palmer and a bowl of cinammon toast crunch. Peace out girl scouts.
Lets start with the story. We were at a wonderful .357 String Band show in Milwaukee where I see a shirt that has the skull worked into the state of Wisonsin. I say “hey, thats neato burrito” and at the end of show asked the person wearing it where he got it. His friend’s immediate response was “Don’t fuckin’ tell him, dude.” Ellen and Kelly thought they could use their lady persuasion to get it out of them, but to no avail.
Now here is why I am angry: it seemed to be that the only reason these d-bags didn’t want to tell anyone was because they were so worried that if I, a guy in jeans and a collared shirt, knew where to get this shirt, then they wouldn’t be cool anymore because their outfits (which they seemed to have a lot of time invested into) were the only things defining them with some “scene.” One of the ways you keep things exclusive and unique is you price it high. You don’t keep things hip and exclusive by telling people that buy your product to “uh… don’t tell anyone where you got this.” I’m sure the person who made the shirt wouldn’t have a website that sells the shirts, many places/sites that are clearly promoting the shirt or have it easily searched for on Google if they didn’t want to sell a bunch of shirts. (They probably wouldn’t enjoy that I raped their design to use for the picture on the left, but I digress.) If I am being unreasonable or am wrong about anything, please correct me; I clearly just needed to rant.
In my never-ending quest to find music/bands that Brian has not recommended or heard before I’ve had quite a few strikeouts, but I think finally I have found the band that will bring me out of this funk: The Cut In The Hill Gang (this seems to be their main home page which from the looks of it is an obscenely long obituary, to what? I’m not even sure because I haven’t even bothered to read it) . This little three piece suit comes all the way from Covington, KY. and they are led by a man named Johnny Walker (former member of the Soledad Brothers). Anyways, they have a few songs from their debut album called Hung Up on their MySpace page. Coincidentally they also happen to be on the same small record label, Little Room Records, as The King Khan & BBQ Show.
