2011

So I really have nothing new or interesting to say, right now I am hangin in an RV in a mountain setting, basically avoiding the assholes on amateur night. There is a bonfire outside, an extra pack of Reds in the Carhart and I am pretty much hunkered down for the next day or so.

The return back to work looms in the next few days but I am fortunate to have a job that feels like play, and we got some pretty cool projects waiting for us and a real nice clientele list being built. For instance I spotted two of our customers on national television tonight. No, not a fluke but we have several coaches and what not that frequent us.

So 2011 had its ups and downs but I am not a "Fuck 2011" guy, it seems to be a popular bandwagon to jump on. So yeah....another year, a few less hairs, a few more dollars. I got married, so that's a big deal I spose. The dog is losing her young-ness, meaning I now have to mostly lift her up into the truck for her beloved "rides" We were both pretty sad the day we discovered she could no longer "load up"

So there seems to be quite a few phrases in quotation marks here. Maybe we should move on.....Here's to Marlboro Reds on special occasions like tonight, more coffee than necessary, regular workouts in an old school gym with my work boots and blue jeans and old school most anything.

Here's a snapshot of my previous life, and here's to another year

Ink

Man I gotta get a good reliable tattoo artists ans put him on retainer. I walked into a tat shop tonight here in Ohio, there was a picture in a collage I had remembered from being in said same shop last year. Said picture had been swirling in my head all year.

Of course the artist I spoke with last year was not available this year, tattoo artists tend to get changed like bed sheets in a lot of parlors. This seasons artist was kind enough to work something up for me but.....liquor on his breath, unwillingness to allow me to work in my own ideas. Its a fucking tattoo man....it's only gonna live with me till after i'm dead! (I only had to learn that once)

Anyhow.....I need to go see Robbie and get something worked out, from here out Robbie is my tattoo artist, I spose he should know this, if you never been to 1873 Tattoo....well.....you should. Tell him Some Guy sent ya too. In the meantime I'm gonna go sketch some shit.

Errr....Uh

Because we haven't posted any new shit in a while

Because Will Oldham once told a heckler his face looks like an ass

Because I am typing this from the heart of my favorite small central Ohio town.

Because I need to keep this blog more updated more often.

Because



Christmas is over and I thought it was about time to give something back around here.

No....I'm not gettin all hippy dippy or nuttin....we will get a cool new gun or skull tattoo or something I promise

Disaster Master

I am real tired of all this new school skateboard shit. It became cool which somehow ends up being not so cool. Its not the same anymore, these kids (mostly) seem to be more about the lok, the style, then the actual skateboarding.

What happened to the days of K-Mart tennis shoes, you know...the plastic ones held together with that nylon thing-ee. yo could only try on one at a time and the other would flop around while you walked and shit.

DUANE PETERS!!! ...M.O.D from KA MO CIVILIZED on Vimeo.

thats some left over old school cool shit. It's cool because it is not trying to be cool. Get it

Jones N Johnson

I admit it, when I was a kid, (teens) I thought country was about the sappiest form of music out there. These days I get it. Country....real COUNTRY! Is bad ass. No before you go spoutin off about some Keith Urban or Taylor Swift or some shit sit back down, that shit comin out of Nashville with a recorded DJ spittin across every major market in N.America....that aint country (you can kiss my ass)

This shit right here, this is country, real true outlaw country. Jamey Johnson is one of the few modern artists that really get it, really get real country.



George Jones, Hank, Merle....that shit is country. when it comes to the new guys you got Jamey Johnson, that about it. Eric Church tried it but then went to radio, Dwight Yoakam is close and maybe a few others but likely we aint heard em cuz Nashville (whore) won't play 'em.

I recommend listening to this in a grungy garage with a coffee (black) and cigarette, or maybe behind the wheel of a straight drive four wheel drive sloppin through the mud, takin the back road to Cherokee cuz ya got an ounce or to of bam bam ready to cut up.

Fun Mobile

We got this for sale. We got shit to do mind you so this thing here is for sale, well....no this actual thing here in this video but one real similar. Its a real nice thing that you could go out and have a real nice time in. Think of all the things you could do in and out of this cool thing.

Anything with a VW logo must be cool right?

That is all for today in blog land, un less f course I decide to post another post on the blog, then that wont be all for today in blog land.

Once I end this post I will no longer be a blogger...until of course I post another blog post

Fuggin A

Some folks here asked me...how can you aspire to be a proffessional writer if'n we see typo's and stuff?

My answer....cuz that's what make s the blog you fool. If'n I had finished school like a good toy soldier maybe not. It was like the time I wrote a paper titled "Why AC/DC is the greatest hard rock band ever" The teacher totally muffed it was still opinion, gave me a fuggin F and a do-over. What the hell? They didn't teach prose at Ohio State? Are you kidding me?

so maybe we use words here like "fuggin" and "Aint" and "yins" but dude bro chill man. This thing here is for fun. Its about checking out the scene of "Bikes dogs guns and women" and in the meantime I pepper that salt with some musical flair, hot rods and other cool shit. If'n I wanted to write proper I may have finished school and sent resume's to the Post or the Times or some other bullshit corporate publication. I decided I would rather have fun than do that shit though.

Here is my English teacher from long ago. His writing changed my life

In the meantime pleas lighten the hell up wouldja? It's only prose.

Old Shit

If you ever looked at a biker and thought why, well this just might answer that. If it still doesn't then I doubt there is much left I can do to help you understand. Some folks just don't get two wheels, and well, I dont get folks who dont get it so that makes us even.

If you don't get it and are reading my blog then maybe you get dogs, guns, and women, or appreciate them, hell....even I don't get women, part of the mystery I spose. And by the way, if'n you ever run cross someone who doesn't get dogs, you know those weird folks who don't like dogs? Run the hell the other way, I never trust a person who doesn't like a dog. My dog is laying here on the floor next to me, best damn friend a guy could ask for.

Zorlac stuff

Ok....so this guy pretty much rips it right here. Pretty good style for Zorlac. Hard and fast with no apologies. Whadda ya think.

Kids got my vote

Hot Rods and Skateboards.

I spose a whole novel could be wrote about the movement of skaters to hotrods, motorcycles and all those good things that make life worth while. Or maybe not the movement to but the addition of.

Interesting parallel none the less.

We gotta start making our own videos for this blog thing

Mind spinning

Well.....here is pretty much where my thoughts are today.

Acoustic Bad Religion

This is different fun and cool, from what I can gather this is from 1983?!?!

Sit back and listen

FCS FOOTBALL

It's been some time since we had a post about pigskin here and since we have come smack into my favorite time of football season....NO...not the BCS Bowl Bids (SHAM) No...not the Heisman (Ehh) What I am talking about is FCS playoffs. You know the weird teams that play FBS schools as a tune up and make a million bucks or so to go get the snot whooped out of em. Yeah, I always root for the FCS teams in those games and LOVE seein the upset once or twice a year.

Anyhow, tonight one of my favorite FCS schools was on the national TV stage. The Montana Grizzlies vs the University of Northern Iowa Panthers. Griz trailed 7-0 in the first quarter then came out to a 48-3 scoring smack down! That's how ya make a statement.

Washington-Grizzly stadium is likely one of the coolest venues I have ever laid TV eyes on and it is a bucket list item to one day see a game in this hollowed ground.

Now it is possible that the Griz could meet up with GASO (Georgia Southern) the last remaining SoCon team which is possible where my allegiance should lie bein's how I am a WCU guy and should remain conference loyal but.....The Griz has my attention

Sex ED

Listen up kiddo's HEre is all you will ever need to know about sex, the dangers of drugs and music all in one easy quick blog post from your favorite Uncle D.

Still sleeping

Maybe it is what they call sleep inertia, or the collective dream or nightmare. Dunno

I sure am sleepy this morning. Real sleepy

Dirty Biker Chick

Just cause we need to stick with a theme, everyone needs a theme

Futurebirds, The

Not sure where I stand with these guys...we saw them open for Lucero this past weekend in Knoxville. On one hand the harmony and composition were excellent. On the other hand I was left standing there thinking I had heard them before.

HMMM.....you decide, or not. If it helps at all we saw the lead singer at the Merch table after the show and he seemed more than grateful to be there selling t-shirts and speaking to the fans

Yes, in concert the drummer has more than an empty bucket but this seems a pretty good glimpse, and yes....I know this is a cover tune

SR400

I really like this. Done a real fine job of showing the heart and soul of a motorcycle

Good Work

Back again

We are gonna try some different things here, some old that I have attempted before. (Like not use the non-word"TRY" Yeah Yoda pretty much rocks.

Our traffic count may drop for a while til we figure a new marketing strategy.....(I permanently deleted my Face Book account tonight.

I am also gonna get more real about some shit.....Marriage, life, work.....the dog...the gym. Writing. The things that matter in this life. The things that legacies are made of.

In essence.....I'm gonna go on with my bad self.

One thing I plan to do is listen to better music. Better living through art I always say
