ninja cat

I'm not too big on cats, but this ninja cat is something else. It's a little bit disturbing, but not too bad. It never seems to move, but it's getting closer, and closer, and closer.

Lil beatsie

This is a little creepy, a little genius, and a little entertaining.

Board Trackers

In the early 1900s, there was a huge motorcycle racing phenomenon known as board track racing. These guys would race in the huge bowls made of 2X4's or 2X6's at speeds of around 120 with no brakes and no clutches. Naturally a lot of deaths and injuries occured. They didn't usually wear gloves or protective gear other than old leather football helmets. These guys had brass cajones. Due to the injuries and high cost of repair on the wooden tracks, the sport faded away. Here's a neat little video on it:


Great moment in motorcycle history

Here's what people are saying...

Here's my post on the Honda SOHC bike forum about the CB. Much to my surprise, most are really liking it. One dude even wants to put in the inspiration gallery. Wow. All that for a half complete '74 bike with dirt tires. Sweet.

Here it is!

Loop pedal

Pretty little thing

Draggin'

Good tune with killer drumline

'lil 'ol update

Here's the CB before and after. Still a mess of wires and body work, but it's slowly taking shape.



AFTER (currently):

Snapperlicious!!

Wicked Game

Great cover by Stone Sour of a sappy ass song.

In keeping with the Olympics...

Screw Beijing, this guy is going to Bangkok. Actually he does Bangkok a few times. But man, what a routine. :)

Hey Jonathan, great face paint, what do you think?

Crackhead got ahold of da wrong stuf!

Here's some crazy ass black foke for your day:

Cisco Kid

I found the funk!! This song is awesome. By WAR, the same cats that did Lowrider. Can you dig it, sucka?

Here's looking at you, kid

Check out this song. I really dig it. It's got an old folky sound. It's a little sad and somber, but I really like it. It's by Gaslight Anthem.




You can tell Gayle, if she calls,
That I'm famous now for all of these rock and roll songs.
And even if that's a lie, she should've given me a try.
When were kids on the field of the first day of school.
I would've been her fool.
And I would've sang out her name in those old high school halls.
You tell that to Gayle, if she calls.

And you can tell Jane, if she writes,
That I'm drunk off all these stars and all these crazy Hollywood nights.
That's total deceit, but she should've married me.
And tell her I spent every night of my youth on the floor,
Bleeding out from all these wounds.
I would've gotten her a ride out of that town she despised.
You tell that to Janey, if she writes.

But boys will be boys and girls have those eyes
That will cut you to ribbons sometimes.
And all you can do is just wait by the moon
And bleed if it's what she says you oughta do.

You remind Nana, if she asks why,
That a thief stole my heart while she was making up her mind.
I heard she lives in Brooklyn with the cool,
Goes crazy over that New York scene on 7th Avenue.
But I used to wait at the diner, a million nights without her,
Praying she won't cancel again tonight.
And the waiter served my coffee with a consolation sigh.
You remind Nana, if she asks why.

You know it's hard to tell you this.
Oh it's hard to tell you this.
Here's looking at you, Kid.

Toe Tagger

Thinking of somethin like this for the CB tank:

Bang and Blame

Got a little REM in my head

Little Known

A little known band I used to love was Full Devil Jacket. This song is called Where Did You Go, and I've always loved it. Check it out:

Everything you think about this guy is true. He is lanky, wears a blank mask and a KFC bucket on his head. But man can this dude play. Most all of his stuff is instrumental and Guitar One magazine voted him like #8 of the "Top 10 Greatest Guitar Shredders of All Time". So check him out:

This song is called Jordan and he plays using a kill switch which kills all the sound momentarily. It makes for a sweet composition


And here's a sweet live composition that builds in intensity:

Daft Punk

A little Daft for your day:





Their latest tour involved the two perched atop a pyramid dressed as robots(as always) and a fancy fancy light show:

progress

The ol' bike is coming together pretty well. Especially after acquiring another for donor parts. Hopefully I can take 2 pieces of crap and make 1 complete piece of crap. Yesterday I installed the dirtbike bend down bars and freaking love the stance. The huge seat is definitely going in trade for a small low single style seat. I haven't decided yet on the big dual guages. I kind of like them, but don't know how they're going to fit in. I'm ditching the blue side panel in favor of an old square number plate so it will have the old flat tracker dirt look. Kind of like this jewel:


What I have left is going to turn into a cafe style unless I change my mind in five minutes like I usually do, but here's how it looks as of now:

New direction

I'm thinking of going a completely different direction on the CB... if I ever get anything done on it. I'm thinking about scrapping the cafe style and just making a beater like this one:

And Now...........BATMAN ON DRUGS!!!

Five Horse Johnson

I just found this band called Five Horse Johnson. Their best songs are unavailable on YouTube, so don't judge just for these few, but here they are. They almost all include harmonicas which is awesome. They remind me a lot of Clutch.

You had to be there

Fast Times

Greatest movie scene soundtrack combo ever.

Fast Times at Ridgemont High ~ Pool Scene | Funny Jokes at JibJab

Dig it?

Awesome song from Incubus

Star Wars on the By You!

I loved Star Wars and still do, but as many times as I've seen it, this part is still my favorite. It's the scene when Darth reveals himself to his son, Luke. It's a super touching scene and really show off Darth's true skills.

Shaky ground

Not entirely sure where this is, but man this is one dedicated cameraman. My knees get a little weak just watching him. Look for the section where there is no sidewalk, just a steel beam he crosses. Jeepers




*Edit- This place is in El Chorro, Spain. "The Camino del Rey, a walkway constructed on the gorge wall that travels the full length of the gorge and sits a hundred meters above the canyon base is an unusual feature. Walking out on this 80 year-old suspended sidewalk had me shaking in fear from the sudden exposure. The walkway is no longer in the best shape, with sections of concrete broken away. Even though parts of the walkway have fallen, walking the full length is still possible. It is said that the walkway was built so that the King could observe the engineering work taking place in the gorge. Instead of Royalty, the walkway now carries climbers to their chosen climb."

CB 550

I recently "acquired" a '74 CB550 Honda, which was delivered mostly in buckets. I took a few pieces and had them sandblasted before I repainted them. They turned out pretty tits, as the British say. Here's a before and after.

International Harvester

Here's a sweet shot of a '54 International HARVESTER pickup truck

Johnny and June

New song by Heidi Newfield. Pretty sweet tune. Actually gave me chills.

CB550

This CB550 is amazing. This is the style I want to build. Probably never come close, but this is a great example of a sweet CB550 Honda.

One of the Best

One of the best tunes ever:

Burn One Down

I don't care much for Ben Harper, but I kinda dig this song.

Tapping

Guitar tapping has always amazed me. These guys are definitely on top of the heap. Very talented Cat Daddies.

Cottage Cheese Thighs!

Fly huntin'

A woman walks into the kitchen to find her husband stalking around with a fly swatter.

"What are you doing?" she asked. "Hunting flies," he responded.

"Oh! Killing any?" And he says, "Yep, three males and two females."

She asks, "How do you tell them apart?"

And he says, "Three were on a beer can, and two were on the phone."

Sam

Today started off badly for Sam. His alarm clock was off by 30 minutes, which made him run late. Then the coffee maker was on the fritz so he had to heat some water and drink a cup if instant. So he's in a bit of a hurry on the way to work and ended up rear-ending a car.

He knew it was going to be a REALLY bad day when the driver got out of the other car and he was a dwarf!

The dwarf looked up at Sam and said, "I am NOT happy!"

So Sam said, "Well, which one are you, then?"

That's how the fight started.

Gas Pumps

Two aliens landed in the Arizona desert near a gas station that was closed for the night. They approached one of the gas pumps and the younger alien addressed it, saying, "Greetings, Earthling. We come in peace. Take us to your leader."

The gas pump, of course, did not respond. The younger alien became angry at the lack of response. The older alien said, "I'd calm down if I were you."

The younger alien ignored the warning and repeated his greeting. Again, there was no response. Annoyed by what he perceived to be the pump's haughty attitude, he drew his ray gun and said impatiently, "Greetings, Earthling! We come in peace. Do not ignore us this way. Take us to your leader or I will fire!"

The older alien again warned his comrade. "You probably don't want to do that. I really don't think you should make him mad."

"Rubish," replied the cocky, young alien. He aimed his weapon at the pump and opened fire. There was a huge explosion. A massive fireball roared towards them and blew the younger alien off his feet and deposited him a burnt, smoking mess about 200yards away in a cactus patch.

Half an hour passed. When he finally regained consciousness, he refocused his three eyes, straightened his bent antenna, and looked dazedly at the older, wiser alien, who was standing over him shaking his big, green head.

Exclaimed the young, fried alien, "How did you know he was so dangerous."

The older alien leaned over, placed a friendly feeler on his crispy friend, and replied, "If there's one thing I've learned during my intergalactic travels, it is that you don't want to mess with a guy who can loop his penis over his shoulder twice and then stick it in his ear."

4 Bells

A fireman came home from work one day and told his wife, "You know, we have a wonderful system at the fire station: BELL 1 rings and we all put on our jackets and boots; BELL 2 rings and we all slide down the pole; Bell 3 rings and we're on the fire truck ready to go.

"So, from now on when I say BELL 1, I want you to strip naked. When I say BELL 2 I want you to jump in bed. And when I say BELL 3, we are going to make love all night."

The next night he came home from work and yelled, "BELL 1!" His wife promptly took off all her clothes. When he yelled "BELL 2!", his wife jumped into bed. When he yelled "BELL 3!", they began making love.

After a couple of minutes, his wife yelled "BELL 4!" The husband asked, "What the hell is BELL 4?"

"Roll out more hose," she replied. "You're nowhere near the fire!"

Master Caster

Though I'm not huge on fishing, I dig any kind of snazzy skill. These guys have taken casting to a whole new level. Check em out:

To be treated

This is a sweet introspective song titled "To be Treated" by Terry Reid. I heard it on a friend's myspace page. I think it was also on the Devil's Rejects soundtrack. It's really peaceful.

S.O.S.

Not much on Jon Mayer, but this is a pretty good cover.

Poetry

"If the heat inside never kicks off for you until every variation expands,reality yields suspenseful entertainment, calling new donors."

Everyday Normal Guy

This is one of the funniest songs I've heard in a while. Definitely NSFW (not safe for work). He's a comedian out of Canada. Pretty funny cat.




He also does this one, and while the song isn't necessarily as funny, his dance moves are AWESOME!!!



Here's another one from the same dude. He can actually sing pretty good.

Im no stranger in your dreams

One of the most haunting voices I've ever had the pleasure of hearing

Stopping by Woods

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

-Robert Frost

Spartans

The Spartans have returned. Typing is a huge task as sore as I am. Floyd pulled out 15th in his class of around 30 and I got an 11th spot out of 20 some. Just glad I saw the checkers instead of wimping out on the first lap like Clay City. Here's a post-race pic:

Go to GNCCracing.com to check out the results. The race is gonna be on the tube in November. Tune in and you may see me crashing in the background.

Total Tribal

A plane flew over an indigenous tribe in the Brazilian-Peruvian area and caught a rare glimpse at a tribe that has never had contact with the outside world. The photos are awesome, but it's a little upsetting that now these guys are probably freaked out by wondering what the hell that big silver bird was. The plane flew over once and saw some children and women out in the open. The next fly-over about 2 hours later found the people painted in bright colors, which is typical of a tribe when they are threatened or get aggressive. Get more photos and the whole story here.

Tichy Tocky

This photo doesn't seem all that impressive, until you found out that it was taken with a homemade camera by a homeless man that wondered the streets in the '70s.

"Tichý is truly one of the great ‘finds’ of unknown artists who worked on the outside edges of the art world. Following the Communist takeover, Tichý spent some eight years in prison camps and jails for no particular reason other than he was ‘different’ and was considered subversive. Upon his release in the early 70’s, Tichý wandered his small town in rags, pursuing his obsession as an artist with the female form by photographing in the streets, shops and parks with cameras he made from tin cans, childrens spectacle lenses and other junk he found on the street. He would return home each day to make prints on equally primitive equipment, making only one print from the negatives he selected."

Check out some more of his works and his camera here

Photo Emulsion Lifts

Theres a Polaroid process that involves lifting the photo off of the paper using water, and then you can transfer the image to another medium. Here's an example:
And here's a quickie tutorial on how to do it.

The Duff

Duffy sounds a little like a more pop version Amy Winehouse. Simple beats with a bluesy voice. Check it out:

Here's Rusty the narcoleptic weiner dog!!

Goatie

You gotta check out this dumbass goat. It keeps licking an electric fence and it's awesome.

Mr. Rogers

I feel like a prick for even putting this on here cause Mr. Rogers was the man, but I can't help it. This is funny stuff

Slammed Rod

Anyone want to ride with me in this thing?

Man I wish. That thing is super awesome. I don't really know exactly what year it started out being or any details, but man it's sickly sweet. I love it.

I am always up for some good impressions, and this guy takes the cake. His are dead on. Perfection.

Amos Moses

Here's some good 'ol music. Jerry Reed's Amos Moses. The video is just one photo, but the song quality is pretty good.

Unusual Kentucky

A few years ago, I found a site called Unusual Kentucky. The web site format sucked, but the articles were really really neat. There were some real obscure stories and facts from Kentucky history that were really interesting. For some reason they quit updating it and after reading it all, I had no reason to go back. I tried again this morning and they have finally made some changes that were really welcomed. They switched servers and changed to a new blog format which makes it a whole lot easier to read. Check it out.

Wy?

Just in case Wyoming is one of your tourist desinations, Backpacker has some sweeeeet trail information. They include photo ops and exact GPS locations to make traveling a little easier. The Phelps Lake Trail sounds awesome. Be sure to read the Waypoint directions about half way down the page.

I hadn't visited the Backpacker website for a while, but they have an interactive map on the homepage that you can use to quickly locate trails in any state. It's a really cool feature.

The Man in Me is the Man in Black

I'm sure I'm the last to hear this as usual, but if you haven't heard this it's pretty awesome. This is from Alabama 3, the band that sings the theme to the Sopranos. Check it out:

*EDIT:
a lot of people believe that Leonard Cohen sings this song. Who else has that distinctive voice? Although,I found that:
"Widely recognized as one of Cohen's more accessible albums, The Future contains everything from gospel-choir choruses (title track) to synthesizer ballads ("Waiting for the Miracle"), to pop-country ("Closing Time"), to marching band, staccato-like rhythms ("Democracy"). "Democracy" admittedly influenced the opening track of HBO's The Sopranos, "Woke Up This Morning", written and performed by A3 and widely miscredited to Cohen." So there, Dork.

Postcrossing 2

Here's a new postcard I received from Finland. It's supposed to be a house that a man accused of witchcraft lived in. The sender says it's a huge tourist attraction and it's pretty close to her home.

Farm Road

New photo from last night. Thought it turned out pretty nifty. Had to put a little over-saturation on the colors and a small blur to make it look more dreamy. Enjoy!

Midnight Exposure

A few midnight photographs I took last night. The moon was too bright to miss the chance. Did have much subject matter from the back yard, but at least had the opportunity to get in some of that fresh night air.

Postcrossing

Received my first postcard yesterday from Postcrossing. It's pretty snazzy. Came from Bamberg, Germany. I plan on putting them all here on my Flickr account. The first one looked like this:

understand2?

If hope opens people's emotions you only usually realize equality. Although, lives intertwine zealously earning honor, openness, worthiness. Many usually combine happiness into longevity only valuing each, yearning one ultimately.

Design Installation

Finally got the complete kit installed last Thursday night on the bike. Totally pleased with the outcome. Here's the final look:


After Sundays race, it looked much different:

understand?

I'm left on various emotions. You only understand a little if common enough.

TTV

I got my new/old camera in today. I did a few attempts of some TTV photos. The only one that turned out decent is this one:


Boring subject I know, but it's dark and rainy outside. Many will follow soon. It's hard to keep the glare down when you're dealing with several lenses at once. I built a black cardboard contraption to help keep out some light, but it's definitely going to have to be modified. Overall, I'm not too disappointed in how this one turned out. I don't like to be disappointed, so it works out. :)
