Sparx Keeps you UP!

I pretty much blew the pictures this night, although a lot would not have turned out very well. The place was mad fogged out, and the blonde hair would have reflected to much of the flash, so here are some I took around 3-6AM.

Anthony and Justin attempt to move around.

"UUUHHHHHHHHHhhh," Laura Hadar. 

Laura likes Mickey Mouse, Iron Maiden, snowboarding, drinking, smoking, and talking with a California accent.

Did I say she likes drinking?

Down with the haunting.

Desiree plays some mean blues.

"What are you doing, give me that"

Although I missed a lot of funny/interesting photos, everything will be A-Okay!

Here's to the lovely Laura Hadar and Desiree Melancon.

Rail Grind

Sexy Time Saturday

1. There are approximately 100 million acts of sexual intercourse each day.
2. Kissing can aid in reducing tooth decay. This is because the extra saliva helps in keeping the mouth clean.
3. During the female orgasm, endorphines are released, which are powerful painkillers. So headaches are in fact a bad excuse not to have sex.

Now go out there and get r' done!

Feath Clothing

Stay Gold Update

Colin Provost is now on Emerica. I've always been a fan of his skating and judging by this welcome video he just keeps ripping. I'm only hoping this doesn't mean they are going to prolong Stay Gold's release so he can film a full part. I really want this video to come out. In the meantime, enjoy.

Tuesday Tuneday #15: Weddings

Guys want a party, women want a wedding. The music in weddings comes from all sorts of feelings you want people to have at the reception. A friend of mine is getting married in about 2 months, and he (and fiancee) is choosing all the music for his wedding. There is tons of music out there that would be good, but I think dance and romance are the best. Either way, everyone one is there to have a good time and celebrate that kinda scary word for a few of you, love.

If the reception was an hour long, (average is about 3 hours) this would be my playlist...

The Verve - Lucky Man

BeeGees - How Deep Is Your Love

Michael McDonald - Sweet Freedom

T-Rex - Cosmic Dancer

Captain and Tenille - Love Will Keep Us Together

Filter - Take A Picture

Frank Sinatra - Love and Marriage

James Taylor - Your Smiling Face

Earth Wind & Fire - Boogie Wonderland

Eric Clapton - Cocaine

Louis Prima - Jump, Jive, An' Wail

ZZ Top - Sharp Dressed Man

Queen - Crazy Little Thing Called Love

Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - Learning To Fly

Eric Clapton - Wonderful Tonight

Tuesday Tuneday #14: Covers baby

Cover version - a song with a new rendition of a previously recorded, commercially released song.

You think you would know if you covered a song and it flat out sucked, right? I guess its all opinion anyways. Some really talented people have covered songs from the past, and some people coved already good songs, and, baaaaasically ruined them.

There are way too many songs (good and bad) covered. Here are the good, bad, and.... maybe ugly.

These are good covers... or hard to say what's better... both good songs.

The Leaves - Hey Joe (Cover version Here)
Jimi Hendrix - Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) (Cover version Here)
Dale Hawkins - Suzy Q (Cover version Here)
Jimmie Rodgers - T For Texas (Cover version Here)
Holwlin' Wolf - Spoonful (Cover version Here)
Santo & Johnny - Sleepwalk (Cover version Here) <--- You may know as Nick Trapasso's song.

Robert Johnson - Sweet Home Chicago (Cover version Here)

These covers really bug me...
Limp Bizkit - Behind Blue Eyes (Original Here)
Metallica - Astronomy (Original Here)
Lenny Kravitz - American Woman (Original Here)
Chris Cornell - Billie Jean (Original Here) <----- How does anyone think they could improve this?
Pantera - Cat Scratch Fever (Original Here)
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Fire (Original Here)
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Havana Affair (Original Here)
Hootie & The Blowfish - Hey Hey What Can I Do (Original Here)
311 - Love Song (Original Here) <--- Stupid 311, you could never out-do Robert Smith

Remember these are all in opinion, so if you want to hate, go right ahead.

sunshine on my god damn shoulders john DENVER.

a few weeks back Pat Campanero and myself travels to the mile high city to visit the AL STONE and some homies. After a tumultuous drive in which we counted over 75 cars in the ditch, we had clear sailing to denver. As we rolled into town, tired from a long 14 hour drive, settling into our couch spots, we reluctantly asked what is there to do in Denver on a tuesday, Rush replied "we party", and party we did, over a week of good times and great friends that left our wallets and livers paying the price. All in all it was a great time, much thanks goes out to our house suppliers, Jared and Enquist in Breck and EK, Sarah, and Rush in Denver.
