Enjoying the buzz from my morning joint and coffee, I headed to the offices of Grapevine this morning, just filled with excitement and stoned glee. Walking up broadway I passed all the tourists and business folks, walking to and from whatever it is they are walking from, not caring much about anything other than their list of to-do's and to-dont's. I see the blank stare in their faces, the ignorance to their surroundings, and I wonder how people can be so blind to their own arena. Just as these thoughts are pounding thru my brian, I feel a sharp pain in my shin, I look down and see I am walking over a half bicycle, pink, with fuzzy balls attached to it. I had been so caught up in paying attention to to other people being ignorant, that I ignorantly walked into this in animate object. As I looked up while cursing this broken bike, I looked further up the road and saw a few more bikes, all halves of bikes, decorated and positioned in such a way that I knew some futuristic hippie artist must have fastened all of these bikes here in a n effort to receive silent recognition and have people in awe at the tremendous mind behind such a display.
My shin still in agonizing pain, I snapped these few pictures, but not to show you art, no, this is to show you the profile of a vicious culprit, one who took advantage of my ignorance and crashed into my shin with furious anger!
Fucking bikes!

Entertainment > MOVIE REVIEW: Mesrine Public Enemy #1
by: Paul Hansen
The film follows the dramatic structure and tempo of well known American heist films like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and Bonnie and Clyde. There are alternating sequences of robberies and escapes leading to an ultimate showdown with law enforcement. If it weren't for the fact that the dialogue is in French, the film would be almost indistinguishable from any other mainline American gangster thriller.read more
