“Writing is a form of personal freedom. It frees us from the mass identity we see in the making all around us. In the end, writers will write not to be outlaw heroes of some sub-culture, but mainly to save themselves, to survive as individuals.”

Check out this video in the link below. Super rad. The actual music is nothing to write home about, but the concept is funny.

And there you have it.

The End.

Quote of The Day

This one is actually a poem. Also I realize the hypocrisy when looking at the post that came a previous to this one, but life without contradictions is not life my friends.


Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.

Deep thoughts with SDTW

If I've given any of you the impression that I am smart or deep let me be the first to tell you that I am neither.

Happy B-Day Salts and Meltron!!!

Tapper Zukie

Certified classic deejay album. They don't get much better than "Man Ah Warrior".

Check "Simpleton Badness" and "Black Cinderella".

Also I posted the deluxe version with extra tunes in case you don't have it.

Run it.

Transcendent Man: Trailer

I've learned to not buy into any documentary at face value. I remember feeling like an idiot after buying into the hype "Bowling for Columbine" only to find out later about all the inconsistencies with Michael Moore's edits. After that little lesson I sort of made some rules to go by in regards to the validity of documentaries.

1.) There is always an agenda. Someone wants you to think about something whether it is good or bad.

2.) It's edited. You are shown what they want you to see. It's still a film at the end of the day.

3.) Just enjoy it for what it is. There is no need to become an outraged advocate over night.

Transcendent Man already looks like a documentary that is going to have people jumping to conclusions and I expect there will be plenty of you blogging all about it when it comes out.

Everyone went off the deep end when the "Obama Deception" came out. C'mon people. Do you really think it's that easy to thwart a "New World Order"?

Like some filmmaker just figured out the plan to "take over the world" in a few months?

Really? I doubt it. Is there corruption in politics, the economy, and in the justice system? Yeah, of course, but don't think because some filmmaker edits together a "convincing" film that means you just figured out the f*ckin Matrix from watching a movie.

Let's not go plunging off the cliff because of a youtube clip.

¡Happy Cinco De Mayo!

Snacks and Shit

I love this site.

Snacks and Shit x Jeezy

P.S Bedazzled tees are still a good look. No, I mean it. Go cop one.

Photos of The Day

Let your mind go to gutter if you need to, but it demonstrates good greyscale too.

See what I did there? We made learning, fun!

Prince Far I

I came across this Pressure Sounds album of Prince Far I (our Heavy Manners' namesake).

If you are unfamiliar with Prince Far I that is pretty understandable. He is fairly obscure to most people not familiar with the late 70's deejay genre, although he was fairly popular in his time and probably more so in England than in Jamaica.

I can't decipher much from this album other than it was put out by Pressure Sounds who also have what has to be the only official Prince Far I shirt I've ever seen. Dang.



For the uninitiated the king deeejay chats or more specifically just sort of talks about the Bible over roots versions. He doesn't really chat in the traditional rhyming style. He is definitely not for everyone, but give it a try especially if you're the type that is prone to get stoned and draw.



Here's a likkle sample of the froggy voiced one. This track isn't on there. Get at me if you want this one too.

SD or 1904

Juts got back to Seattle from a little quick trip to my home town of SD. I got to hang with the fam and friends, eat, paint, and the whole nine.



My best friend Carly. You wouldn't know it from looking at her, but she's tougher than a coffin nail.



Eating sushi outside of Southern California is pointless. Well, besides in that Japan country or whatever.



I went and hung out at Street Machine and came across this John Cardiel deck. It works for me because of my not so "secret" obsession with voluptuous Jamaican women. Me love all dem fat p*ssy gals.



Flipping through look books I came across what has to be one of the best skate deck designs I've seen in a long time. It's a bad picture, but it says Alien vs. Predator with Wacko and E.T. Game over!



I went to Armory just in time for a shipment of paint. It's been a long time since I've held a can of Montana in my hand. I've gotten so use to Rusto it's ridiculous. I almost prefer American brands in some weird way. Thanks to King Diesel for the homie price. I can't tell you what he charges me because you'd cry like a little puta.



Every trip. Every blog post. It's Phil's BBQ. It's that good.



Fifi Boy and his old lady came out. Peep the Arabic Crass tee. Vicious.



SK8MAFIA ad at Street Machine. Can SK8Mafia please get themselves a decent designer please? Is it too much to ask?



Ape's B-Day thingy. I hate house music.



Just put your lips together and blow.



Nick in a k-hole.



You a pothead Focker?



Why do ugly people make out so hard on the dancefloor? Go back to Fugly Manor with your horse faced wench and do that shiz.



Speaking of ugly, Step Brothers Part 2.



It's not what you think. She just thinks I'm number one.



Billy and I have been playing the "Your Team" game for a while now, but it's now starting to become a phenomenon everywhere I go. The rules are simple: when you spot a kook of some kind you call out "your team" or "chur boy" or "team leader." This egregious violator is on Taylor's Team. He also got team mated with some dude rockin fingerless work out gloves and a Member's Only jacket with the skinny jeans. Not good Tay.



Nick practically had a whole new show's worth of paintings since I last saw him.



Hand painted cigar boxes with felt lining.



Bears are a bigger threat to this country than Al Queda and Swine Flu combined. Fact.



Nick's Team Photo.



Ed Templeton drew this for Nick when he was in high school. It needs to be a tee graphic. It reads "I can't wait to shop in the mall my favorite thing to do is spend money."




Tina Turner by Anonymous.



This is my shout out to Poor Life Choices



Nick has Italian Playboys next to his shitter sorry "crapier".



Faces of Death.



I call this one "Dog With Hat".



Weird.



Pot and Grand Theft Auto seshy. Ya braaaahhhhhhhhh!



Write big.



Or go home.

Shouts to Rondo. Liked this one so much I had to do it twice.



At the 19th Hole Breakfast Spot. I was blinded by my Seattle tan obviously.

Vacation

SDTW is in SD for the weekend.

Get off the internet and go do something.
