Rolling Stone Magazine

...is full of shit.

A mindless interview with Mike Tyson, famous for rape, assault and biting off a persons ear.

Another mindless interview with Sasha Grey, "Porn's biggest star."

A 4 & 1/2 star rating for Green Day's new album. "They've ended up the last band standing, the ones living up to their era's loftiest ideals and still writing their toughest songs long after they should have landed on Sober House."

...Last month they did a feature on Asher Roth, most notable for his deuchebag anthem "I love college." They praised him as the next Eminem.

I guess everyones got an agenda.

Hello everyone,

Today was Me and Mia's last day in WA. We had a fun filled, action packed week.

I learned a few important facts about the evergreen state this week:

1. American bald eagles are abundant here. They fly around like any other bird, just hangin' out.

2. Even though it rains here all winter, the summer weather is pretty much as perfect as it can get. 75-80 degrees, no humidity, pretty much from June-September. Very little rain. Weird how it works like that.

3. The West coast, generally speaking, is probably 10x more friendly than New York. Now, I'm not saying it's a good or bad thing, I'm just stating a funny fact....for example:

Yesterday in Portland, we found a hot dog stand. Envision what you think of a New York City, dirty water cart. This stand was run by a middle aged woman, looking like she could be anyone of our moms. The lady heated up our food, even though she was already closing down for the day. After putting Mia's mustard on her veggie dog, she asked "Is that enough?..Do you want more?" She then attempted to cut open my sausage to make sure it was hot enough for me....I stopped her kindness right in her tracks and took it the way it was....

There were a lot of really awesome things that we did, but I'll explain another time.

Take 'er easy.

important update!!!

Hello to all in the blogosphere,

It is with great honor, and much importance that I declare tonight on this blog....That there will be a Clark St. Art Gallery this summer. We will have an opening, with wine and beer and finger foods... Anyone who wants to submit artwork can, and it will be celebrated whole heartedly. We will accept photographs, paintings (alex), sculpture and any other types of art out there. I really mean it, we are very excited about this....all are invited. We will get together and enjoy each others creativity. Get crackin'.

Hey

One more thing I forgot about.

So a while back, I was working on those Darfur awareness posters. Well, I decided to change my direction after I stumbled upon a book in Barnes and Nobles titled Posters for the People. It's just an assortment of different awareness posters made during the WPA (Works Progress Admin.) during the Great Depression. Now, I'm sort of a fan of the New Deal, so this was extra cool to me. Basically these posters just tell the American people what to do. Get vaccinated, travel the country/world, support your local farmer...I really liked the idea of the government telling you to do something with propaganda but for positive causes. Anyways, this is what I came up with...





Fun stuff to think about...

Anywho, take care, see everyone soon.

Clark St.

Well, I'm procrastinating pretty badly right now. For my photography class, I needed to document a place. So I thought, where better than Clark Street? Spring time brings out the best in it.
