Aerial Wolf killing

Here's another pleasant video from one of the many environmental groups I spend
hard earned money supporting.

Regardless of whatever justifications some may lean on, it's just plain wrong---
actually, cowardly--- to shoot innocent creatures from the comfort of an airplane....
You wouldn't like it if it was you.

Wolves are a vital part of any ecosystem, and if there's too many... guess who's fault it probably is? There are other solutions to humankind's need to meddle with nature, if the social and political will can be mustered. Please consider helping.

LIFE IMITATING ART
Category: Art and Photography

This is the coolest. Must have it.

And before all of you other synth dorks start throwing out plagiarism accusations, my piece was inspired by vintage computer designs from the early '70's, NOT an actual synthesizer.

LUXURIAMUSIC.COM
Current mood: busy
Category: Music

Hello Friends,
Forget that other crap called radio you've been not listening to while stuck in traffic.
If you havn't already discovered Luxuriamusic.com, check it out. No this ain't spam either, so get your hand offa that mouse.

Luxuriamusic is non-profit Internet radio, streamable right to your PC, Laptop or whatever you're into man. The swinging sounds of the 60's and more, everything from Bossa Nova, Surf, Psychedelia, lounge, Go-Go to, uh....well you get the picture.

This stuff has been fueling the long hours preparing for my next solo art show
"Mono" opening in 2 weeks in Seattle, and as the name implies, is a direct shot of some of the greatest stuff ever written, recorded and performed. And some amazing obscure covers of classic hits.

Luxuriamusic has only like, one or 2 commercials and some very cool DJ's, like Switched-On Audrey for example (Sundays 2-4pm) who is my fav.

They need new listeners, and support, so if you dig it, please consider becoming a member and parting with say, $25 bucks a month, it won't kill ya, trust me. And it'll get ya alot farther than halfa tank of gas.

30 THINGS THAT PISS ME OFF
Category: Art and Photography

1) Goatees
2) self-adhesive Cove Base(should be renamed "wall paint remover")
3) Short guys who try to dress sexy
4) anything with the word "Extreme" in front of it
5) Girls who say "Think You" like they're pinching their fucking nose
6) Goddamn subscription cards every 5 pages of the New Yorker, that fall out everywhere
7) People who get bent when I use the word 'gay' to describe gay shit
8) cars with crappy-ass do-it-yourself window tinting that's all purple and bubbly
9) Cars with crappy & primered Ground FX falling off
10) The 110 freeway any time of day
11) Minivans
12) Minivans with gay ass caricature stickers of all the family members and pets with their names below them)
13) Any SUV (especially the Nissan Armada)
14) Being forced to look at Ultrasound images of your unborn fetus. Yes, life is amazing, the miracle of birth wonderful----but your little peep show (that relies on World War 1 technology) is still just Bad Taste.
15) People who use the word "dark" in reference to any art/film
16) People who ask "are you an artist?" when they see me drawing (No, I'm a Roofing contractor, and this is how I humbly begin each masterpiece of tarpaper and shingle)
17) Shopping carts with 4-way independent wheels ( in conjunction with sloped parking lots ) Someone please tell me how this is progress.
18) Any town with the word "Park" in it (usually a giveaway that it's a shithole)
19) Executives who wear Chuck Taylors
20) most pop culture after 1984
21) Ceramic floor tile
22) Anything made out of MDF
23) most Contractors
24) Public rest room water faucets with only one temperature (freezing)
25) Public rest room towel dispensers with auto sensors that don't work, causing you to jerk your soaking wet, cupped hands all over the place like a Calcutta beggar
26) Restaurants that serve tiny-ass bottles of sparkling water the size of my thumb
27) Home Depot
28) Post Offices with 7 service windows and only 2 clerks
29) "Repost This or else..." extortionists. I never repost your shit, and my life is great so fuck off.
30) People who read this and can't have a sense of humor

....Coming soon: The Love list.
