This is a photo of Gabe on vacation in Maui. I couldn’t resist seeing what I would look like with his muscles. Am I hot or not?

Fright Rider

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

On a very special episode of Knight Rider KITT blows a transmission seal so his retarded cousin RED steps in to save the day!

Tell me you don’t love this car. I spotted this reflec-terrific beast in the Best Buy parking lot in Sherman Oaks. Live your dream people.

The Open Ocean: Part One

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

Did you know there’s a lot of cool stuff happening on the open ocean RIGHT NOW? You might think that every record must have been broken by now. It would seem like it would be pretty hard in this day and age to think of something new to do on the water. Not so, check this out. I’m gonna to post these in batches so stay tuned for updates.

Right now there’s a 16 year old dude who just set out on a solo around-the-world cruise. His name is Zac Sunderland, and if he can make it back in time, he’ll be the youngest person to ever circumnavigate the globe. You might know about Robin Lee Graham who left Los Angeles in 1965 and made it around the world by himself in a tiny 24′ boat. But that story is so different. Unlike Zac, he wasn’t in such a hurry. He seemed to be more interested in experiencing life on a very extreme level. Along the way he met his wife (who he’s still married to), chilled out in Tahiti, Africa, The Bahamas, and The Galapagos. Robin and his wife Patti even managed to get pregnant along the way. The motion of the ocean! (brown chicken brown cow)Anyway, all that adventure took some time so he didn’t make it back until he was 21. So again, if Zac stays on his schedule he’ll be back before he’s old enough to vote and will take the title of the youngest person to ever sail around the world alone.

Zac has sponsors and a few cameras on board so his story will be captured for a TLC special at a minimum. If you’re interested in reading about Robin’s adventure get The Dove in paperback. I just finished it and, to say the least, it was inspiring. It’s truly hard to compare Robin and Zac as today there’s so much more technology. Zac is calling home everyday and speaking to his mother on a Iridium satellite phone. I’m not saying that Zac isn’t facing danger and that he’s not unusually focused and gifted. I guess I’m just saying that 1965 was—oh hell I don’t know what I’m saying.

Here’s a Youtube Deep Cut™ that shows the original Dove. Look how small that thing is. Can you imagine? No phone. No internet. No satellite weather reports. No GPS. All he had was a sextant and a huge pair of balls.

But that was then and this is now. Zac is out there in the middle of the Pacific. He’s just as sleep deprived as any single handed sailer. It’s just as cold and even though he gets to call home I’m sure he’s a little lonely. Wish him well if you like by checking out his blog. I love the internet!

YouTube Deep Cuts: Nina Hagen

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

If you don’t remember Nina Hagen or you simply don’t know who she is here’s a little crash course. I’m gonna walk you through this in order so try to keep up.

This first clip is a quick one. This is just an appetizer.

Notice the Frech guy exhale with relief when she was done. Too good.

Moving on. Nina is a signer who was considered an opera prodigy by the time she was nine. She started performing in the 70’s and became famous during the punk rock era. So Imagine a punker who can sing opera. What would that sound like to you? Now watch the clip below.

Ok that was fucking amazing right? I mean the woman is channeling another dimension. So, what’s she like? Well, she’s into UFO’s and she even saw one with her won eyes in Malibu of all places. At 5:00 minutes in she talks with David Letterman about her experience of seeing a 10 meter round glowing object. But, she says something that I’ve never heard anyone ever say about a UFO experience. The UFO was changing colors “…and each color had another feeling—made me feel different.”

Here’s Nina in possessed gypsy mode. Looking at this I start to see that she my be an alien herself. Watch this next clip and tell me I’m wrong. I’m pretty convinced this woman is just visiting the planet.

A little creepy huh. Ok, well here’s how it all comes together in a hit song and video from the 80’s. Notice how this video is a LIVE performance. It was a different era…

Wasn’t that a cool song? So, if you didn’t know who Nina Hagen was before this, now you do!

Now go visit her website.

You know the first thing he did when he bought this car was to take it up to 88 mile per hour.

East Valley Animal Care Center (a.k.a. The Van Nuys Pound)

Monday, April 21st, 2008

I walked around this weekend and was blown away at how nice is was there. Firstly, all the kennels are outside and everything was super clean. They had a special cat room. They had a reptile room, an aviary, and a area for bunnies. The pound isn’t an easy place to visit but I’m telling you they are doing a great job here. Van Nuys is coming up man!

David Bowie Mugshot

Sunday, April 6th, 2008


This is a pretty cool mugshot as far as mugshots go. See more celebrity mugshots here at Hollywood Most Wanted. The Arclight had a nice showing of these.

David Bowie was arrested in upstate New York following a concert in March 1976 for marijuana possession.
