Anything about everything and somethings about nothing. If it doesn’t have it’s own category it’s going to be here.

RMK Lead Belly

Stopped by unsteady today and picked up a pretty cool tee. My girlfriend who regularly patrols my twitter account saw me jocking and graciously contributed the funds to fresh me out. The girl working was cool enough to drop the price a few bucks too. Stop by, say hello and buy some shit or go online

RMK has done quite a few cool tees with icons of various sorts on them. The most recent serving featuring Lead Belly, Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters. I bet their jeans are friggin awesome… sigh.

Nice shirt, very soft and the print is really thin. They fit a bit on the smaller side.

4th of July public service announcement

The ionz149 is a loving creature but if you try and stick your finger in my ass I will bite you. Today will be a day of drinking, smoking and generally anything that is bad for my health. We will be having a BBQ at my mother’s house as she has a real back yard with a real BBQ (I have a side patio and a  sad little charcoal grill).

Bring The Pain!

Hah! New shirts from Actual Pain are pretty ill this time around. If I could I would… shirt prices are a bit on the steep at $40 a pop. I’m actually torn as too which one I would choose if I had to choose one of the 80’s style animal face prints. The wolf is rad and I think his face gore is way better than the tiger. The tiger while lacking higher levels of face gore makes up for it by being A.) a white tiger and B.) there is way more blood, I mean his eyes are bleeding. So I give em both a little love. The only way you could make these shirts any would be if you cut the sleeves off immediatley upon purchasing.

Resurface

This weekend wasn’t so bad. I drank, painted, sanded and ate two vietnamese sandwiches (so good!).

Just got a spontaneous day off because the power company is working on the block the place I work is on. Always nice to have a day off, lame to not get paid one day of the week.

Might head over to my local bike shop and figure out what size bike I need. I also need to go Home Depot to pick up some randoms.

El Viejo Me Hace Falta

June is the worst I swear… miss my old man like crazy. Today marks two years since his departure. It’s been lame really. Be sure to smoke your finest snappers or sip from your favorite bottle today if you get a chance, tip your 40 to the ground.

My aunt sent me this awesome photo. It’s a great photo because my dad worked hard and chilled even harder.

Brixton Baby

Brixton always brings the heat sauce. I figured since summer is on it’s way I should get me a hat made of straw, something that can breathe. If you have ever had the pleasure of wearing a brixton stroll in the heat you know you won’t be doing it again soon.

After all things were considered I went ahead and picked up the drifter (runner up the castro) It’s an odd hat, for that reason alone it is my summer hat for 2009.

It’s odd because from the front it looks like I have a big halo floating around my head. From the side it looks like a fedora. Also there are no dips/indents on the bucket part (?) need to brush up on my hat anatomy. The hat has a low profile so no matter how hard you shove it on your head it will always look like it’s sitting on top of your head.

During the process of grabbing a hat stumbled upon a few shirts too. One being a brixton shirt, the other two being shirts by some sunglasses company called sabre. The sabre shirts are so cool I couldn’t find pictures of them online and I’m a lazy turd so you know I ain’t snappin none.

Mishka Panzer Chain Wallet

As a scum bag I was pretty stoked to see a chain wallet available from the boys over at Mishka NYC. I was sort of torn though because it was made of nylon instead of leather but was won over by the Keep Watch button. Upon arrival I was somewhat disappointed when I couldn’t fit one drivers license, five credit cards and my lucky dollar bills without the wallet becoming a two inch brick in my back pocket. Not to mention there is two buttons that hold the wallet shut right on top of  the credit card slots so I assume after a while of sitting on my wallet the buttons would begin to press on the cards (not cool)

So I decided to alter it a bit and add my ugly bill fold into the mix since it’s functional and holds all the random shit I keep in my wallet. I had to modify it slightly by adding some eyelets so the chain clip had a way to clip to my bill fold. Easily accomplished with a few bucks at the local Michael’s

Mishka Panzer Chain Wallet

Above is how it came with it’s cool guy wallet. For the dood who only keeps an ID card, a credit card and 3 hundo slices when he goes out. Unfortunatley for me I am not too cool and carry around an australian 20, a 2 dollar bill and a little st michael’s prayer card in spanish (? a good friend gave it to me to ward off unnecessary evils) amongst that there are oodles of credit and debit card reciepts waiting to be accounted for in my check book (yeah I stay on top of my check book like it’s 1929) Here’s my wallet

Put it on my gun!

seriously skip to about 2:33 hahah – “Here’s to yeh dawg!” — POW! O.H. is the man and his old lady does not like the sound of his gun cuz it hurts her ears

What is this crap? (Not turds!)

I forgot I took this picture until last night when I synced my phone to my computer but this was in the Claremont Graduate University bathroom when Xty and I were there for her conference (She did great btw).

Now a reason I enjoy my ionz149 moniker (which about 40% of the time I write ions149 or ions) is that nobody EVER uses it for ANYTHING. It is always available as a login or user name because it’s totally random. I mean really wtf is ionz149 anyways. Not many people know this but I started writing ions in highschool because of some freshman biology class I was taking in my junior year (HAH!) I kid you not, I never paid attention and was always doodling random crap in my dividers that peaked my interest. And like that I wrote ions a few times after the teacher was flappin his face about atomic particles and thought hmm these letters are nice together. At some point the number 149 was appended to it (I blame the hip hop) The rest my friends is history.

All that aside I sleep very well knowing no matter what I am more than likely the one and only ionz149. And here I am taking a piss (yes in a stall, that’s how I roll… the bathroom was empty and I still took the stall) and at first I thought I was reading it wrong and it was some other name but I looked again and it was clear as day… IONS!!!!!!

I instantly fell to my knees looked up at the ceiling and flailed my first while screaming “DAMN YOU IONS FROM UA!!!!! DAAAAAAMN YOOOOOOU!!!” then I got up and snapped a photo with me phone. I think I’m okay with it though, I don’t really write so there should be room for the two of us. Also if I am not mistaken I believe UA is on some hefty, half way decent graffiti for a while now.

When the going gets tough

The tough take shits in the alley. My alley is often a look at the grim tweeker life that surrounds my little gated complex. This marvelous work of thick, chunky drip was left right next to where I park my car. The dude pooped on the other side of the fence but his dooks managed to slide on down the other side and onto the floor.

Monday Mighty Boosh

This show is great. I’ve made a point to just watch them on adult swim now that I know they already exist out there. Future Sailors beezy:
