Let's do this.

It's raining and I'm a little bummed out, so this is gonna be a lazy post, but let's try and have some fun with it, ok?

Repetition is a never-ending theme in my life. I appreciate this video tripping out on a silly loop that isn't expected at first.


Oh Batgirl. I've found a few episodes of the original Batman television series on YouTube. Go find it, enjoy.


Kraftwerk are probably the only robots I'm not afraid of.


Closing with a little more repetition. Why not? Why not? Why not?

Buy James Stuff

You know, I was thinking to myself, "James, what you and Dash do (the podcast) is pretty selfless isn't it? Every other week, you give unto the world around an hour of thoughts, quips, opinions and discussion for absolutely no payment at all! Wow, you're quite a guy (and a catch!)."

So I though, "Why not tell people how they can repay you for all the hard work you've done!" And that's what I'm gonna do. People, this post is all about how you can rightfully give back to your lovely host, just buy me some of the stuff I'm about to talk about!

CHEFSTACK




It's an automatic pancake maker. It makes 200 pancakes in an hour. 20 pancakes every six minutes. The article I've linked to says "ChefStack is Like an ATM For Pancakes". Very apt. It's also $3,500. BUT WORTH IT. Buy it HERE.

SLEEPING GRIZZLY BEAR BEAN BAG


Oh my goodness. Ok, we all know how awesome bean bag chairs are, they're like waterbeds or Tom Sizemore movies. They're awesome, but you're not telling anybody you actually think that. But look at this one! IT'S A BIG OL' SLEEPY BEAR AAAWWWWWWW. And it won't wake up and eat you! Hopefully. It's on sale right now for $135 (it was $159).

ARTWORK BY DANIEL HOCHSTEIN



Mr. Hochstein is the father of one of my closest friends and is an incredible artist. The painting above is named "The King" and I've been lucky enough to see it up close. Those eyes are even more intense when face to face with them. He goes between realism and surrealism in his work, and I've been lucky enough to actually obtain a drawing of his.

SOME GOD DAMN SURGE.


This...this soft drink. This beverage. THIS NECTAR OF THE GODS. Was THE soda of my youth. I drank it so much. There was a mini-mart connected to a gas station near my house and I'd go there nearly every day to procure a can or bottle of this heavenly liquid. AND NOW?! It is GONE. Apparently it only exists in Norway, so I want you to go to Norway and find me some! Please?

That's it for now, feel free to just send money too!

App-ly yourself.

I did it! I finally found a way to combine my favorite things with making money!!!!!

Ladles and genderbends, IIIIIII have created an APP.

There's two things I know for sure in this world:

#1 - Audioslave - Self-titled is the best album in ever.
#2 - Velvet Revolver - Contraband is also the best album ever.

Then I thought, "What if I could bring this philosophy to everyone in a fun way that would also make me money!?!?!??????"!?

For $4.99 you get an app that updates itself monthly with:
  • Band updates
  • Tour schedules
  • Hulk & Iron Man trailers
  • Game
  • Youtube covers
  • Much, much more
Perhaps the best the feature is the "Which album are you?"...



Get it today!

Video Madness

SO who doesn't like watching stuff on the internet huh?! I know I surely do! Well, my buddy Dash showed me this crazy/great video the other day, take a look!

My god. The person who created this atrocity/work of art is named Cyriak (he says that's his real name) and is "a freelance animator based near Brighton, UK. I use adobe photoshop and after effects for most of my animations, and have worked on a wide variety of commercial projects, from tv advertising to channel idents to music videos." He's also a musician, most if not all the music you hear in his work was created by him. His work is odd and usually funny.. Let's take a look at some of his other stuff!

Here's a video showing the inner-workings of my favorite chef, Gordon Ramsay:

Braaaaaaaaaaaaaziiiiiiiiil.


Brazil is a land of extremes. Shit goes down and off so hardcore there, your puny non-Brazilian mind can't even handle it. I'd like to take this opportunity to share with you some things I've learned in my travels down there. Things that may seem ordinary...until they've been BRAZILIFIED!

Meat
You've eaten meat before, right? Unless you've been a vegetarian/vegan/lunatic your entire life, then of course you've eaten meat before. Well, prepare to shut the fuck up, because you've never eaten meat, until you've had it Brazil style.

Meat swords! Slay your own heart and/or colon!

Waxing
Waxing is a painful process that people do because blahblah BLAHZIL.

Getting a Brazilian wax is pretty much like dealing with anything else Brazilian. You go in expecting something normal and you leave stripped, looking like a child and crying.

Jiu-Jitsu
The traditional Japanese Jiu-Jitsu is literally referred to as "the art of softness".

Look at that mustache! Brazilian mustache.
