Morikami Summer Sushi Stroll

So after ages of rainchecking Jessi and I finally made it to the Morikami Museum. It was for their Summer Sushi stroll. An evening of walking through their gardens complete with food and entertainment. While the entertainment was pretty cool, the meal left a bit to be desired. According to her the food is normally alot better, but due to the assload of folks there that day it was eh due to mass production if you will. I did get quite a few really cool pictures. I couldnt get as many pictures as I wanted to due to limited light since it was late in the day. We'll definitely have to go back on afternoon for more pictures. All in all it was a great time, but thats standard for our outings. Well I hope you enjoy the pictures. There will most certainly be more forthcoming in the near future.

My brother is cooler than yours

So I just learned something really awesome about my younger brother Matt today. He can solve a scrambled Rubik's Cube in about 3 to 4 minutes. Fucking sweet! Just had to share that lol.

leaving Goose's apartment and I look up and theres this super bright full moon staring me in the eye. Man was I glad I had my camera on me. Funny thing was I was running out the house today and almost didnt bring it. The last few days I just havent really felt that inspired to take pics. Today was actually the first time I brought it with me all week. It sure came in handy tonight. As always when I get in one of those modes Ill see one thing that I want to take a picture of and it will set me off and Ill start seeing other things in my peripheral vision (and no its not because all of the acid I did many many years ago...ok maybe that might have a bit to do with it but thats not the point here). Either way at that point I usually end up taking an assload of pics and come out with a handful that I truly dig. Like from this batch I took close to 100 pics tonight, but I only put up 24 in the album. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did taking them:

I think Jimmy Buffet would have been proud

Well since I was yelled at by a certain someone because it had been five days since I last posted pics in my Picasa album; I decided it was time for me to capture two things I love yet always take for granted. The ocean and the sun.

So first I look online for when exactly the sun rises. Hey what do you want from me? I dont have to be to work until 12:30 in the afternoon, I havent seen the sunrise in quite a while. After finding out the next sunrise would be approximately 6:50AM I set my alarm for 6, and see if Id actually follow through with it. So off the alarm goes and Im up (very reluctantly of course). I take a peek outside still dark with a hint of light off in the eastern sky. Ok so far so good. I hop in a take a quick shower, more for the purpose of getting me going than getting me clean. Get dressed and look at the clock 6:15AM. Ok still got time to fight traffic across the county to the get to the ocean. Thankfully theres not much traffic that time of day. To loosely paraphrase from a love letter Ernest Hemingway wrote to Marlene Dietrich, "It was the time of day when sailors and servants awoke".

So I hop in the car stop and get some gas and haul ass to the ocean. I arrive about 6:40AM. A few people sitting on a bunch of covered benches waiting for the show as well. It was still dark but the sky over the ocean had that ominous glow of something about to happen. And when it did...well Ill let the pics explain that part. Either way the whole experience was way better than I could have hoped for. Theres something powerful in watching this Earth of ours do its daily thing that we normally take for granted. Its amazing how it looks when you just stop and take notice. Oh and the reason for the title is because while I was taking these pics and "watchin the sun rise" I was humming Margaritaville. I think that Jimmy Buffet was onto someting..mainly booze and loose women but thats a totally different story. Anyway without further ado, and more of my sleep deprived ramblings (click below to view album):

You really cant make this shit up
Category: Parties and Nightlife

Where do I even begin? What a fucking hilarious weekend. No seriously if I werent there I wouldnt believe it myself. Lets see we'll start from Saturday night.

Saturday Night:

2 Live Crew at Revolution in Ft. Lauderdale:

Wow! Not wow they were great, because frankly they were horrible, but what a spectacle it was. First off they only had one original member(the chinese guy). In true modern rap fashion they had like 15 dudes on stage standing around doing absoultely nothing. Several of them had mics and would randomly shout things out during the show. I swear to you when they were speaking to the crowd the only english word you make out was "pussy". No Im serious. Blah blah ;klhg;ks;gshga pussy khgklshgiah hrkhkhfga pussy hkhvshifshfias PUSSY! Yeah you get the idea. Of course whats a 2 Live show without their Ho's? Yeah the ho's they brought with them left PLENTY to be desired. These had to be the nastiest skankiest most repulsive women to ever set foot on a stage that Ive ever witnessed. Seriously cottage cheese for days. Nothing hot about aging jiggly women doing lewd acts on stage. Speaking of lewd acts. At one point in the show the ho's were handed bananas and cans of whipped cream. You really dont need me to spell out what they began to do with them. So there they were on stage felatting these fruits for all their worth, and one decided she wanted to take it up a notch (even though I wish she hadnt). She takes the banana and proceeds to move her shorts to one side and inserting said banana you know where. Then she walks to other side of the stage like it aint nothing, spins around turning her enormous ass to the crowd, pulls her shorts to the side once again, and lets the banana plop out onto the stage. Wow that bitch just shit out a banana on stage LOL. Really nothing more needs to be said about that night. Oh also like alot of old bands trying to rekindle the old spark they decided to drop some "new material" on us. Yeah you would have thought someone yelled fire because I aint never seen a dance floor cleared so quickly in my life. Note to classic groups on the comeback...We arent here for your new stuff!

Which brings me to Sunday....


Poison and Cinderella at the South Florida Fair grounds.

So my good friend Jessi tells me she has two free tickets and asked if I wanted to go. Thats a no brainer. A chance to laugh at aging rockstars as well as their aging fan base. Who like the bands mentioned all wish it were still 1986. So we get there and man I swear the surrounding trailer parks must have been like ghost towns because all their residents were at this concert for sure. Rebel flags, mullets, bandanas, acid wash jeans, wrinkly old groupies you name it. What more can a guy ask for? Walking through the crowd youd figure they were taking applications for a new Wal Mart being built. So its starts to rain and I was more than tempted to leave. For as much fun as I was having making fun of passers by, I didnt think Poison was worth getting pneumonia over. Jessi of course disagreed and convinced me to stick it out anyway. So we find a table with an umbrella and huddle underneath it until the rain let up. Im glad we stayed it turned out to actually be a pretty good show. Both bands did a great job with their classic hits. Unlike 2 Live Crew they werent under the delusion that these people were here because they wanted to hear new material. Nope they stuck to their roots and brought back the 80's for an evening. Seriously though I could go on all day about the people in the crowd.

If that wasnt enough. You wont believe who we bumped into in the crowd. None other than this guy:







Thats right Vanilla Fuckin Ice lol. Seriously he was in poking distance as Jessi would say. He actually turned out to be a pretty nice guy. I spotted him first and nudged her. "Hey is that Vanilla Ice over there" She says "Nah that guys looks too short". He walks a bit closer and sure enough it was he Rob Van Wynkle himself. He was their with his wife and kid (honestly I figured his wife would be hotter lol). So as hes coming back towards us returning to his seats in the VIP , I yell "Yo ROB!!". He turns around smiles(happy that someone recognised him Im sure) and says. "Hey buddy hows it going. Enjoy the show." So needless to say Jessi and I were like HOLY SHIT!

Yeah Ill remember this weekend for a long long time to come. Like I said, if I werent there myself I would never had believed it.

Seriously...You cant make this shit up.

In conclusion Ill leave you with these classic words of wisdom...

Wow so Im not the only one afterall...

Ah Myspace. Never ceases to amaze me on just how small and strange a world this truly is. All my life Id gotten used to the idea that I have a weird name. I mean really how many guys do you know named Garth? Sure its a strange name but I knew I couldnt be the only guy named Garth out there. I mean considering I was named after my uncle, and its his son's middle name as well. So with that in mind I got bored one day and set out to find other Garths here on Myspace, and I did. Lots and lots of dudes named Garth. Wow didnt feel so weird after all. Hell I even made a Myspace group for us(click here to go to group). It was an instant success(well amongst dudes named Garth anyway). So with that I was pleased and thought...Well its understood that there will be other dudes named Garth, but what are the chances that there would be another Garth Blair here on Myspace. So I did a search and low and behold there I was and there was another dudes profile below me. A quick exchange of emails back and forth, and sure enough hes Garth Blair too. Yeah I know youre thinkin..big fuckin deal Garth. Fine its one thing if my name was John Smith, you expect to find and assload of other John Smiths, but with a name as peculiar as Garth, and a last name as uncommon as Blair, Id never expect to find another combination of the two. Well I did and heres his profile. I introduce to you, the other Garth Blair: click here

Yeah I know its about as lame as Joey finding his Hand Twin in Las Vegas(equally lame that Im making a reference to the TV show Friends), but hey I thought it was pretty funny.

Ok so Im really fuckin bored at work and easily fuckin amused...sue me.
