Social Networking Is a Joke

bout to give up the whole idea social networking. Cam whoring people, who don't care about nothing but them selves. Self loathing it's more like social leeching, the only good reason I keep my myspace is for friends that live far away to stay in touch as well to see what's going on with everybody instead of calling everyone in your phonebook since there are a lot of bulletin whores out there.
been busy a lot, thinking a lot, freaking out a lot.
just wondering if there is something out there for me bigger and better, something more meaningful.

Spruce It Up

So for those that may or may not have noticed I have updated the layout on the blog giving it some new page elements and a small redesign. I have gotten rid of the ugly border around my header image. Added a RSS Feed button, for those of you who add RSS Feeds to your site and following list. Then added an RSS Feed of the blogs(s) I follow in my sidebar. Just these little touches makes a difference towards a full functioning blog. Now all I need is readers and more views, hmmmm.......

Architecture

For some reason, not bad I enjoy new different uses of architecture. From abstract to location, I think I just found a new self interest. Wether its your workplace, home or whatever it may be, I like architecture. I have been meaning to post some of these neat buildings I found a couple of days ago via through ffffound.com an hourly updated picture blog. iso50.com a graphic designer and music composer by the name of Scott Hansen who goes by the musician alias of Tycho. Arch Daily which I found through ffffound, a daily updated unique worldwide architecture site. It just opens up your eyes to new innovative yet creative, abstract structures. A lot of these, are old designs and builds that weren't known publicly until this year so some date like two to three years back. Cool none the less, this is going to be a big post since I have been meaning to post this stuff earlier so I am going to bunch it all up into one ginormous

This first one is Located in Spain and that was all the info I really got out of it, it was designed for an architechture company.
What a perfect idea for people who create and design architecture to work in an environment such as that. Some what futuristic while not being modern and boring. I sure dig it, it's a calm and subtle workplace out in the middle of a forest. Would feel like more of a summer camping trip or retreat than a crowded cubicle inside of a skyscraper surrounded by honking cars and sky reaching buildings.






Athens, Greece personal skate park house. Yes, this has been done before as seen on Jackass stars Steve-O's apartment. This is permanent I believe. Combining living space architecture with skateboarding. What skater would not want a halfpipe in his or her house?




This is one of my favorites, a five-story apartment hotel complex located in Falls Creek, Victoria, Australia
Being open for both the winter and summer seasons, It comprises of fourteen apartments (4 x studio, 2 x 1 bedroom, 2 x 2 bedroom, 4 x 3 bedroom and 2 x 4 bedroom, 2 level penthouse), and day spa and produce store/café on the ground level.
All apartments are self-cater, with full kitchens and laundry facilities. With the exception of the studios, each apartment has a terrace and balcony hot tub. Now how cool is that? I sure love to stay there in the Winter it looks beautiful.







This also being second to my fav's, an old cinema transformed into a clothing store with floating bowl to skate!
Located in Milan, Italy, more info and pictures can be found Here

Last but not least your own prefabricated living space! They run for about 25,000 EU, I will let you do the math to convert to USD. You can purchase and find more info here






I hope everyone enjoyed it, more to come soon.

Killing Time

I have been killing a lot of time lately, playing old playstation games on my mac haha and even more trying to configure my playstation 2 emulator to work, but unfortunately gave up. I'm just gonna buy a ps3 with backwards compatibility when I get money in the future. My obama dollars have been extended bills are being payed off, I only owe money on one card now. So that and car payments that will leave with me with some extra dough to buy some new toys and gadgets, Birthday is coming up. Then week after trip for Canada I really hope my wrist will be alright its been about a week now the pain is somewhat going away i sprained it pretty bad, I'm guessing. If it doesn't get better by Sunday, I will have to goto the doctor Monday, ughhhh :/
I really hope it heals and is fine, cause it is my guitar playing hand and I have really wanted to play guitar lately and had to cancel band practice because I can't play but currently I have it wrapped to constrain it from moving. Aside from all this I am looking for a new film camera. A Medium Format Tlr to be exact! Ebaying it up, trying to decide between Yashica mat 124 or mat Em.

Bees in My House

So today I come down stairs and Olga is like "did you leave the door open yesterday?" No, "cause there are bees in the house"
I look to where she is pointing and I exclaim holy crap there's a lot of bees. So I grabbed the trusty vacuum and start sucking them up. There were twenty or more freaking bee's downstairs, what fumbles me is how the hell they all got in here, and when. Did they come in yesterday or today? Cause i have something else that ties into this, i went to the beach yesterday and as I was passing my house on the on ramp to get on the freeway, we drove through a large swarm of what we thought were bugs and the first thing I came to mind was bees. The windows of the truck were open to when we hit the swarm and I happen to be sitting next to the window. Some hit my face and I was like wtf and start jumping around freaking out, swatting getting shit of me i look down and there just so happens to be a bee in the car so I disposed of him. But it was weird the swarm was on the on ramp going to the freeway which is behind my house so I wonder if its the same swarm that was in my house? None the less they are taken care of and sitting in the depths of the vacuum. Anyways aside from that I am also stoked for May 13th since Yesterday's Rising is having a show down at the Slidebar in Fullerton its 21+ and I am getting in with them since i am underage to film the whole set!
