weekend warriors

2009-04-19T22:16:00.003-04:00

first weekend out in nyc with both roommates for the first time in a long time. spent friday with old friends and saturday with new ones. today, all 3 philly teams with a game won. spent too much money, and dave and i got thrown up on by a stranger. weather was nice. weekend was great. the work week looms.

this is awesome

2009-04-17T09:26:00.002-04:00

today is a really good day...or at least it should be. the weather is nice, our hot water is working again and it's friday so who can be mad about that. but that's not what's awesome.

what IS awesome is this work, right HERE

i've been reacquainting myself with my drawing ability and have begun to move in a new direction design wise. the above direction is similar to where i've been going and a complete source of inspiration. i love it and i commend the person who did it.

i'm so tired of this font. do i have it? yes. i've had it for a long time now, but i've never found the right time to use it and now...i never will. it's everywhere and it's so obvious.

it's not a unique font anymore because designers are abusing it. it's almost as obnoxious as affliction clothing and the bros who wear it.

anyway, here's what i'm talking about if you don't already know it.

new work

2009-04-07T10:09:00.002-04:00

until i learn how to update my website without having to bother my roommate, i made a flickr page simply for the purpose of posting new work. just so it's out there, somewhere. and because not everyone is part of behance.net (another website that i hardly ever keep up with)

here be that link:

the realest shit i've ever said

2009-03-30T00:27:00.003-04:00

i've completely let this thing fall to the way-side. and i knew i would. but i sort of always let things like this fizzle away and im gonna try and not do that. so let's see how often i can push myself to say what im thinkin here more often.

i got a job in nyc for The International Awards Group. I'm the in-house designer. so here is a web banner that i did for them when applying that i think helped me land the job.

i think i'll post more work tomorrow. and i think this is one of my new favorite websites

a month...yeesh

2008-11-24T22:02:00.003-05:00

It's been a long time since I've written anything and a lot of that is due to that fact that I've been preparing to move to new york and oh yeah...did. So I'm here now, trying to start a career and create the life I know my parents would be proud of and ex girlfriends would be jealous of. We'll see how far that goes, but so far up here has been good and I look forward to getting a job. I just don't look forward to getting up early again....no fun.

I'm feelin' kinda Monday.

See more Danny DeVito videos at Funny or Die

Ah what a beautiful day in the Philadelphia region on this Monday in October. The weather is finally getting cold, the Phillies are starting the World Series on Wednesday, and the Dallas Cowboys bent over and spread their cheeks to make way for the St. Louis RAMS (yes, pun intended) yesterday getting romped, 34-14.

Now onto the Rays and the WS I have nothing against the Rays, there is no rivalry and this should be a fun, competitive World Series. I do however think the Phillies are so much more hungrier and more talented than those Rays and seriously, how many hours do you think those people have been fans for?

Oh and the video I posted? Yea it's old and yea I've seen it a bunch, but it's hilarious, so why the hell not?

On top of the Phillies winning the NL Championship, something else really awesome happened today. I was on TV. Attack of the Show is a pretty badass show on G4TV and they went ahead and showcased some photos from the legendary Tetris costumes that my friends and I made back in college. I was the red L as you can see in the pictures. Take note of Olivia's comments about chicks loving Tetris. Hey it could happen.....

Pheelin Phantastic!

2008-10-16T01:09:00.005-04:00

Champions. Anyway you slice it, the Phillies are the champions of the National League and now, it's on to the World Series. I will be at game 4 in section 105. This is such an awesome day and what makes things even better is that the Mets still suck. And I mean they REALLY suck. People didn't think the Phillies could go into LA and dominate the way they did. But c'mon.........
.......they're fucking superstars.

'Cause Matt Stairs Said So!

2008-10-14T11:05:00.005-04:00

Yes, Matt Stairs has arrived. 40 years young and about 50 cheesesteaks deep since arriving in Philly this August, he hit the biggest homerun of his career last night against the "unhittable" Jonathan Broxton. Awesome. I loved every second of it and I'm ready for either Tampa Bay or Boston.

In other sports news, all the NFC East teams lost this week except for the birds which turned out to be a great week for them overall (despite their not-so-pretty win). The most notable loses come from the Giants and Redskins who lost to the Browns and Rams respectively. The Giants went ahead and took their pounding on national TV no less. Loved it.

The Flyers could use a win, that's really the only downside to these past few days. That and I went to NY over the weekend but have yet to find an apartment. Hopefully REAL soon...

Anyway, I'll leave this post with a couple fun videos. One of Sarah Palin getting booed at the Flyers opener (they tried so hard to drown out the boos on tv, but c'mon). Also, note the "bad start to the season" comment at the end of the video. Who knew?

Also, here's a video of John McPenguin. Nuff said.

That's a big flag, no?

2008-10-10T01:27:00.002-04:00

Oh and the Phillies won too. Like they should have.

It's so on

2008-10-09T14:14:00.002-04:00

Fuck you LA.

Game 1 of the NLCS is tonight and I will be there showing all kinds of support for the Fightins'. The Dodgers are a good team right now, but c'mon they sucked all year and the Phillies have kept Manny pretty well in check. They don't scare me and their "fans" don't scare me either. Especially the Hollywood celebs that show up at games. I'm sure they probably have their servants wave their rally towels for them. Assuming of course they even have rally towels...or rally cosmetic surgery.

The 2008 Tokyo Game Show has been underway for a couple days now and there is more video game coverage than one can shake a stick at (or that I have time to spend all day writing about). I suggest large doses of Attack of the Show and X-Play as well as spending time at joystiq.com and destructoid.com for all your TGS needs. And speaking of needs, I think Alison Carroll needs my phone number.

BANG!

2008-10-09T10:28:00.005-04:00

So 3 years after its release, I finally manned up and watched The Devil's Rejects. Well, to my surprise, guess who turned out to be in the movie? This guy! Now I know what you're thinking and no, Karl Malone is not the washed up athlete celebrity I'm talking about. It's actually Diamond Dallas Page and I gotta tell ya, nothing says horror movie material more than a guy who makes vagina symbols with his hands while tucking in his shirt and trying to salvage the fanny pack. Oh and after seeing his character in the movie, it was obvious that director Rob Zombie wanted the Undertaker to play the part instead, but I'm sure he knew better. Danny Trejo on the other hand didn't. Are you surprised?

If you haven't seen this video yet, it's really funny so I suggest taking a couple minutes to watch it.

Aww hell no, wassup blog?

2008-10-08T17:02:00.006-04:00

I'm starting a blog cause all the cool kids are doing it....and because I can post videos of people getting hurt for everyone else to see. And I figured, with this being my first entry and all, I should post a 35 minute long video of the best accidents, wipeouts, knockouts, falls, spills, broken bones, faceplants and just about anything else you would ever wanna see. Sure, sure, I'll talk about other things that are important to me as well, but that's for another time. So, without further adieu...
