It has been a long strange trip since I last updated this thing. Really only two weeks but it has felt like months. I can only thank those closest to me who listened to me babble crazy for a little bit and gave me hope when I needed it most. Infinite kisses and hugs and fine things all around.
Every now and then you must stop and wonder why? Hopefully the answers don’t freak you out. Maybe it’s just The Voice of a Pork Chop by Jim Jackson.
A compilation of shit I’d love to own snagged from various places
Now that I have my bike comes the fun part of actually making it mine. I don’t have anything too drastic planned but the bike will look pretty ill once I’m finished. I’m shooting for murdered out with pink or magenta details and a possibly a slime ball seat.
Since it is somewhat a mid to long term goal I have begun buying a part or two a week so in a little bit I should have all my parts and stuff ready to go.
One of the first things I noticed when I got my bike was that most the parts on it are dirt bike/bmx parts. It also came with bullhorn bars which grew on me but I might still get a straight bar. The pedals were clear red Colony pedals which also grew on me so I got some in black (not clear) They are nice chunky pedals and look like they can take a beating.
I also picked up a rad seat. It too is a dirt bike seat but it looks a little wider and shorter than my current ball buster saddle which is a plesant upgrade from the long narrow track seat it came with.
It’s been a while since Kozik dropped anything worth purchasing, like two good years depending on who you ask. I always liked Kozik because his posters and characters were very appealing when I was a youthful stoner in 8th grade. There really wasn’t anything cooler than disney skunks holding bongs back then. Over the years he’s sort of proven himself to be rather talentless looking to make the quickest buck. I mean I will doodle you a million inanimate objects and give them eyes and a smoke and you wont give a shit (why the F is that salt shaker smoking a cig?) I aint gonna lie… I still got some labbits in the closet, but mostly because nobody wants them 😛
So when I got a recent 3D Retro email I was slightly impressed. I also saw the green ones around SDCC. These are pretty cool. They look like big chunky army men that were made in China like they should. I just really hope they don’t have the Clockwork Orange style eye lashes. My favorite part of the whole thing is that you can replace his grenade hand with a rubber chicken! More photos after the jump.
After many months I broke down and decided to splurge on a nice bottle to make up for my b-day, my ten year anniversary with Xty and June’s lamenting of my father. I felt I deserved a nice bottle, it’s been a while… what the hell?
I went ahead and got the 12 year old Lot B Van Winkle since I really wanted the 23 year old 🙂
I also purchased the Lot B because it was the first bourbon I ever drank neat. It was the first bourbon that I had that was just pure sipping satisfaction. It was sweet but robust and very old for its age. Albeit it is the Van Winkle way of making bourbon. All bottles in the Van Winkle line up taste rather mature to me. Perhaps it is because it sleeps in the barrel for so long.
For the money it is probably the best bourbon you can buy in the $50.00 range. There are a few other bourbons that can kind of give it a run but at the end the Lot B always wins in my book. I love the wheat and if I were a baller it would be my “regular” pour.
Lots of love for this and you should always go Van Winkle if the option is available. It’s great bourbon for the sake of bourbon, how it should be.
Got a half pound of turkey that cost $8.99/lb for $1.76 because humans prefer to rely on a machines that depend on specific buttons being pressed with fingers. The occasional slip of the finger results in me getting turkey fore the price of coleslaw. Yay me, thanks to the deli lady.
