A weekly night ride around Los Angeles to Whereeves we feel like going.

All riding abilities welcome, please have night riding lights for your bike.

Meeting in Silverlake at Silversun liquor at 9pm.

My ears think I’m over 40. I knew going to so many loud punk shows would catch up with me.

I have two turtles, that have grown since you last saw them, they are about the side of a fist. Sadly, they are like step children to me, they were obtained with in a relationship that has since ended and they reminded me of it too much so I relocated them outside, on my back porch. They love it outside, basking in the sun, they are much more active then when they were in the house. Maybe too active. I got a call from the Badger who lives in my garage, Chris Badger to be exact. He called me freaking out about one of the turtles. Apparently, one of them got out of the tank somehow and was on the railing of my back steps basking in that sun they love so much. I live on a hillside, and on the second story, so the drop is pretty far. Chris went to grab the turtle and the turtle said, “fuck you” and jumped off the railing and fell two stories, hit the cement and tumbled down into my backyard past my fire pit in the backyard.  This fall would kill any human, let alone a turtle. I was at work when I received the call, I was panic’d and quickly looked up turtle drop on the internets. It calmed me to read that birds often take turtles high into the air and drop them to break open their shells, but to no avail, the turtles most often survive the impact. Chris got the turtle and put him back in the tank and moved the rocks that enabled him to get out in the first place. The turtles have gotten so big that their toys had become stairs.
Not a scratch on the turtle, you’d never know he jumped off the back stairs. He didn’t even act shocked, he’s a total adrenaline junky. Turtles live past 100 years, its weird to think I have to include them in a will someday.
I know there are a few whateves family members with turtles, so I’m just letting you know, turtles do bounce.

While in high school I was sitting in my Girlfriend Kelly Herbinson’s kitchen and we were watching a show on bravo with Robin Williams. He was flapping about a stage and his under arms were soaked.  I was sensitive to this because, I myself am a sweaty bitch. So I tried to stick up for him and said, “What do you expect? Its hot on stage”. Thus coining the term, HOT ON STAGE, that is still used to this day in our small circle. Free free to use it if need be.

Remember when you were molested? On national Television? By a fat dude? Save your money for a therapist kid.

I’m reposting this from a repost I found in my Myspace Bulletin this morning. While the situation sucks, it still strikes me as funny that she could pin point where he lived by what he looked like. Looks like he’ll have to switch scenes in LA.

These kids sure did.

Architectures Secret show at The Echo tonight April 23rd.

I randomly stumbled across a link which read “Special Surprise Guests: Building In Echo Park”, The link jumped me to Architecture in Helsinki’s myspace, their page has a last minute show added to upcoming show dates. There are still tickets available through Ticketweb, “surprising”, considering there was only the email and their myspace page to promote the show two days in advanced. Anyway, I’m excited to see them at The Echo again. If you’ve never seen them live, it’s well worth the 20 bucks, compared to what you would fork out for a show at Henry Fonda or Coachella. I saw them at both The Echo and Henry Fonda, The Echo is by far a better show, I walked out of the Henry Fonda show. It doesn’t get better than seeing six band members and a large supply of instrumental ammo crammed onto a teeny tiny Echo Stage. See you there!

How annoying, but cool is this Take-Away Shows? My friend Piper told me about this site.

I think this would look great in tarasaidthat’s back yard…

Saturday night the Los Angeles Galaxy played the current MLS champions the Houston Dynamo at the Home Depot Center.

The Galaxy battled back to tie the game, and as usual it was the Beckham Donovan show. Between them they have scored all six goals for the team in 2008. Tonight was no different, Landon Donovan scored 2 goals both assisted by David Beckham. The first goal is my favorite by far. A diving header, can’t beat that.

The result left Los Angeles with a 1-2-1 record while the defending Major League Soccer champion Dynamo (0-1-3) was left still seeking its first victory.

Next week Chivas USA vs. LA Galaxy Superclassico. When these two team play each other they are always intense. Expect smoke, expect big flags, expect fights and expect the LA Riot Squad to go ape shit.

Madex posted a while back about The Bacon Alarm Clock and now that Madex has a new rocking bod I’m willing to bet he will wouldn’t use the Bacon Alarm Clock… well only on Saturdays.

The Glo Pillow doesn’t use bacon to wake you up it uses an LED fabric that turns on 40 minutes before your alarm goes off gently wake you up. This natural waking process helps to set the circadian rhythm or “body clock” and results in more healthy sleep/wake patterns. The pillow also doubles as a clock displaying the time!

Man whateves sure loves to blog about alarm clocks!

South Park this past week did a show about the internet and how we are slaves to it, and all its pornographic delights.

I forget South Park is even on TV, but now that its on the internet for free I watch it more, further confusing me why I pay for cable.

Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure will be exploding on a wall in downtown LA this sunday night at 9pm.

2nd and Beaudry, see you there.

I’m from the East Coast, about 25 minutes west of Philadelphia. Drexel Hill to be specific.

Growing up wasn’t easy. My neighborhood was mostly Irish Catholic working class. When I wasn’t busy being bullied or having pennies thrown at me because I had a Jewish last name, I was tormented because I didn’t have a girlfriend, etc. Only in my neighborhood is it proper to walk around in a wife beater t-shirt and saggy pants while  smoking a cigarette with your girlfriend by your side. If you see two people like that, they’re probably 13, and the girl is probably pregnant.
Where am I going with all this? Well, just sort of setting things up for the photo I’ve included. I wasn’t the least bit surprised when my sister, who has the good fortune of still living back in Drexel Hill,PA, sent me this photo. A neighbor down the street decided St. Patty’s Day was a great day to have a lawn display set up to celebrate this day of Irish Drunkenness. What the hell is St. Patty’s Day anyways?

I only WISH, I had a photo of the lawn display that was set up only a few days after 9-11. That marvelous wonder featured a dark skinned man of mid-eastern descent, WITH A TURBIN NO LESS, lying on his back. Standing above him majestically was a white man, dressed like a firefighter, holding an axe in mid air, about to take his revenge out on Mr. Abdulah Rahmajanandad. Enjoy.
