The ionz149 is a loving creature but if you try and stick your finger in my ass I will bite you. Today will be a day of drinking, smoking and generally anything that is bad for my health. We will be having a BBQ at my mother’s house as she has a real back yard with a real BBQ (I have a side patio and a sad little charcoal grill).
Bring The Pain!
Hah! New shirts from Actual Pain are pretty ill this time around. If I could I would… shirt prices are a bit on the steep at $40 a pop. I’m actually torn as too which one I would choose if I had to choose one of the 80’s style animal face prints. The wolf is rad and I think his face gore is way better than the tiger. The tiger while lacking higher levels of face gore makes up for it by being A.) a white tiger and B.) there is way more blood, I mean his eyes are bleeding. So I give em both a little love. The only way you could make these shirts any would be if you cut the sleeves off immediatley upon purchasing.
Munk-e Zombies by Munktiki
This Thursday at 6pm (west coast time) head over to munktiki.com and pick up this bad boy. Here’s the text from the email:
“Holds 9oz and is 3 1/2 inches tall. While some colorations may be duplicated each will be unique. Some mugs have bloody, gooey, even slimey glazed interiors. Blood and dirt splatters. Mold and decay. Some infested with worms. The edition is non numbered but limited to the life of the mold.”
They look pretty bad ass.
Björk – Human Behaviour
An all time favorite video from way back. Teddy bears, stop motion stuff and a cute as hell björk. Stuck in my head all throughout my morning shower, may it get stuck in yours for the day.
The Boosh Strikes Again!
The Mighty Boosh: Good enough to enjoy with adults or a seven year old. At first I shit, she is from Tennessee she may just be completely offset by the British accents but she was quite receptive. The bright colors and awesome song and dance routines I mean how could you go wrong? When it was over I rewound to the awesome song and dance part like I always do. While I was rewinding she was like “what are you doing?” I said “going back to the cool part” and she said “go to the dancing bubblegum guys” and I said “I know god!”
Here’s the little cartoon that came before the rad bubblegum attack.
Resurface
This weekend wasn’t so bad. I drank, painted, sanded and ate two vietnamese sandwiches (so good!).
Just got a spontaneous day off because the power company is working on the block the place I work is on. Always nice to have a day off, lame to not get paid one day of the week.
Might head over to my local bike shop and figure out what size bike I need. I also need to go Home Depot to pick up some randoms.
El Viejo Me Hace Falta
June is the worst I swear… miss my old man like crazy. Today marks two years since his departure. It’s been lame really. Be sure to smoke your finest snappers or sip from your favorite bottle today if you get a chance, tip your 40 to the ground.
My aunt sent me this awesome photo. It’s a great photo because my dad worked hard and chilled even harder.
Internet Explorer Collection
“Internet Explorer Collection contains multiple IE versions, which are standalone so they can be used at the same time.”

Um… greatness of all sorts, where the hell has this been all this time? My boss found it at work since our ie6 computer was taking a dive every time we fired up the virtual pc. Now you can look at internet explorer murder your code on all three versions of it current ugly self. The above link actually provides you with internet explorer all the way back to ie1 (why?)
Brixton Baby
Brixton always brings the heat sauce. I figured since summer is on it’s way I should get me a hat made of straw, something that can breathe. If you have ever had the pleasure of wearing a brixton stroll in the heat you know you won’t be doing it again soon.
After all things were considered I went ahead and picked up the drifter (runner up the castro) It’s an odd hat, for that reason alone it is my summer hat for 2009.
It’s odd because from the front it looks like I have a big halo floating around my head. From the side it looks like a fedora. Also there are no dips/indents on the bucket part (?) need to brush up on my hat anatomy. The hat has a low profile so no matter how hard you shove it on your head it will always look like it’s sitting on top of your head.
During the process of grabbing a hat stumbled upon a few shirts too. One being a brixton shirt, the other two being shirts by some sunglasses company called sabre. The sabre shirts are so cool I couldn’t find pictures of them online and I’m a lazy turd so you know I ain’t snappin none.
Somebody Hug Me – PK x Zollmen Zudon
It’s a few weeks overdue but this showed up at my doorstep a little while ago and I couldn’t have been more stoked. What we have here is a Paul Kaiju x Zollmen Zudon collab. This is guy resembles a football only he is cuddly and wants hugs and will roll his eye at you. On the hyper critical side of things I found the paint to be a teenie weensie bit heavy handed (Paul is human and did paint them all himself so this is fine), but he is otherwise the piff. He has glitter lining his insides too. Hat’s off to Mr. Kaiju for providing me with yet another badass figure I don’t own any of in the wild and crazy colors that is the PK style. Not to mention this has been the first toy I’ve purchased in months!
Stacy House Killin It!
Last Saturday I was watching So You Think You Can Dance and was blessed by the efforts of Stacy House. She was totally awesome and although a bit spastic she killed it and had her hopes and dreams were smashed on by the judges. I think she did pretty good for a girl trained on a farm, and her outfit is awesome. Go Stacy Go!
Mishka Panzer Chain Wallet
As a scum bag I was pretty stoked to see a chain wallet available from the boys over at Mishka NYC. I was sort of torn though because it was made of nylon instead of leather but was won over by the Keep Watch button. Upon arrival I was somewhat disappointed when I couldn’t fit one drivers license, five credit cards and my lucky dollar bills without the wallet becoming a two inch brick in my back pocket. Not to mention there is two buttons that hold the wallet shut right on top of the credit card slots so I assume after a while of sitting on my wallet the buttons would begin to press on the cards (not cool)
So I decided to alter it a bit and add my ugly bill fold into the mix since it’s functional and holds all the random shit I keep in my wallet. I had to modify it slightly by adding some eyelets so the chain clip had a way to clip to my bill fold. Easily accomplished with a few bucks at the local Michael’s
Above is how it came with it’s cool guy wallet. For the dood who only keeps an ID card, a credit card and 3 hundo slices when he goes out. Unfortunatley for me I am not too cool and carry around an australian 20, a 2 dollar bill and a little st michael’s prayer card in spanish (? a good friend gave it to me to ward off unnecessary evils) amongst that there are oodles of credit and debit card reciepts waiting to be accounted for in my check book (yeah I stay on top of my check book like it’s 1929) Here’s my wallet
