Life Resolution/Determination

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty. to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

This movie scared the sh!t out of me when I was younger....

While other kids watch w/ wonder at the locaol daycare...armon sits in the corner w/ the look of a deer caught in headlights, afraid for his life...

i could handle the mountain thing, the trolls, and even the evil wolf monster...but the dog worm, not so much...i thought that was the scariest looking thing ever and the main character is riding it! wtf is up w/ that?!?

and how annoying was that damn song...

Leave Nothing

Nike has a great reputation for makes some of the best commercials. They lived up to their expectations last year w/ their "Leave Nothing" campaign...

Two of my favorites...

First up is the commercial directed by one of my favorite directors, Michael Mann. This commercial stars Shawne Merriman (San Diego Chargers) and Steven Jackson (St. Louis Rams). The song is called "Promentory" from The Last of the Mohicans.

The next commercial is made by the man behind the genius of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, David Fincher,featuring LaDainian Tomlinson (San Diego) and Troy Polamalu (Pittsburgh Steelers). The song is called Ecstasy of Gold from The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

The Obama-mobile

Not sure if this is legit but this is one serious Cadillac!

And I thought my Grandpa's Caddy was loaded...



Just a few thoughts on this Obama transformer...

-This car probably weighs as much as a herd of elephants...

-Who needs 20" rims when you have Kevlar-reinforced tires with steel rims underneath?!?

-"Defense" accessories include: Night vision cameras, pump-action shotguns, tear gas cannons.

-Although it only gets 8 miles to the gallon(?!?), the petrol tank can withstand a direct hit thanks to a special foam and armor-plating.

-8mpg and a top speed of 60mph. Better hope the driver only has to escape go-carts and only has to go 10 miles.

-The driver's window opens so he can pay a toll? What, they don't have EZ-Pass on this thing yet?

-And to top it off...It comes with bottles of blood compatible with the President's blood...just in case..

Pump It Up

It's 09 and looks like its gonna be another roller coaster year...hopefully we will all have a smile on our face when the ride is over...

"Out in the fashion show,
down in the bargain bin,
you put your passion out
under the pressure pin.
Fall into submission,
hit-and-run transmission.
No use wishing now for any other sin.

Pump it up until you can feel it.
Pump it up when you don't really need it."

Brushes on Iphone

Disney artist Stef Kardos shows why he is getting paid for scribbling and we are not...

He demonstrates he is skills on Iphone's new drawing app, Brushes...check the vid and pics below...

All these sketches/paintings are done very quickly ON SITE on my Iphone, between 5/10 minutes each. The sunsets can be done even faster as the light is changing very quickly.

"My work is about making candy for the eyes. It’s about grabbing your attention. Even though my work is appearing in magazines I am trying to make a large picture. I want my photographs to read like a poster."
