Oh, it's gonna work out

It seems as though all our company has left the Graham residence for a little bit. The house is oddly quiet and I think it has finally hit me that the holidays are actually over. Which is...rather depressing. But HEY, I've had some good times these past few days.

Yesterday I went with my familia to San Francisco, a.k.a. The Greatest City in the Whole Fucking United States (lulz, my opinion is always the best, don't question me). My brother insisted on being our 'Chinese Tour Guide' as we drove around the city. Im not going to go into details of what that consisted of. I had a grand old time walking around Haight St. seeing all the crazies that never left the 60's behind, or at least didnt survive them. There was one fellow who had a hammer, and whenever the traffic was clear he'd go to the middle of the road and start beating the asphalt with a hammer. My sister in law Gabby said that was one of the oddest things she'd seen all day. Likewise Gabby, likewise.

Oh yeah, then there were all the hipsters.

hah, I have a zip up hoodie like that. I have it in red and in black, both with white draw strings. Im so effing cool, mang.

Of course while I was on Haight Street I paid Amoeba Music a visit. I love that store! Its like isles and isles of musical goodies! I bought M83's Saturday=Youth, which I'd been wanting to get forever, as well as 23 by Blonde Redhead.

I also began my vinyl collection. I decided to get The Velvet Underground and Nico LP, because I mean hey, everyone needs that album. Not to mention Andy Warhol produced it. Also, I bought a 45 of Mayer Hawthorne's 'Just Ain't Gonna Work Out'. I decided to buy that vinyl because A) that song is legit as hell, and B)the record itself is shaped like a heart, just like in the video.

The first time I heard that songs was about a year ago, but I had forgotten about it until a while ago. In case you haven't hopped on the awesomeness bandwagon yet, here's the video:


SHAZAM!


Came in a clear casing


Mmm, yeah I'm cool. I need to save up to buy a player now.

In other news...

HEY! Remember what I posted a while back about the octopi (since I guess 'octopusses' is grammatically incorrect and also sounds kind of gross) being all smart and shit?

WHAT DID I TELL YOU!! Don't fuck with them, man.

I found that at a site called Oddly Specific. If you're a fan of Fail Blog and similar sites, you'll like oddlyspecific.com. Basically it focuses on signs that are, well...oddly specific.

Damn, don't mess with nature, It will fight back!!


HAHAHAHAHAH! I think if you decide to engage in 'hooking', having your car taken away might be the least of your problems. Think about that.

I just found out that my cousin Sean and his mommy are coming to visit this week! Looks like I'll have some more funsies!

Hope everyone is enjoying themselves so far in the New Year. I know Pippin is.

ps-where has Ashley gone??

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Man its been a while since I've posted on the old bloggeroo. I've been busy with the holidays and what not. After wrapping up school, I came home, did some rapid Christmas shopping and then got a pretty nasty cold. Then of course it was off to Lemoore and Fresno for family and Christmas goodness. Anyway, it was a pretty good Christmas, here are the highlights of the holidays thus far:

-fantastic yummy yummy home made tamales.

-my mom saying to my brother's dog "I know you want to lick my meat but I won't let you" without realizing what she was really saying.

-my two cousins and I trying to learn the dance from Beyonce's 'Single Ladies' video.

-my new digital camera and other awesome gifts including tons of cool owl stuff like this ring:


-my mom suddenly going all spiritual on Christmas Eve and suggesting we should all sing songs to Jesus, and my uncle Gil suggested we sing 'Happy Birthday Jesus'

-the family gag gift exchange game which consisted of a President Obama commemorative plate, a snuggie, a dart blower, a neck exerciser amongst other goodies.

-My cousin Sean ending up with the Snuggie and his antics with it.

-this commercial:


-Overall Christmas awesomeness!

Humans haven't been the only ones having a good time this holiday season. Apparently the octopus population has been having some fun with all the coconut shells us humans have been leaving around on the beach

WTF THEY'RE USING TOOLS??? Man, I think Im about to go out and get an octopus tattoo so that when they take over the world (as they are on their way to doing) they might spare me.

More movies, music, and fun stuff coming to the blog now that Im home.

ciao!
