Cocaine, Mexico, and You


So believe it or not, my mother reads and loves my blog on the daily, and always asks me "whats up with the big gun on your header?" I told her the background on it, and that it was from this story I read right before starting my blog, about how American gun companies are, believe it or not making guns for drug cartels and smugglers. I wish I could find that article to link it for you guys, but I think it's a gun made by Colt, called something like the "El Presedente" Does that make any sense?? an American gun company making big shiny guns with mexican names?? YUP drug money from Mex is a HUGE business.... and people are being killed on the daily with guns made in America. Don't believe me, Read up on it and see what that line of coke you snorted actually took to get to your nostril. Juarez Mexico is currently seeing a rise in killings, and I have heard some crzy stories form some of my mexican cousins from El Paso, its pretty much the wild west and YOU are fueling the fire by doing blow....

Sneakers And Hype

Here is a post that I found to be super proactive in not giving in to the consumer-driven culture of limited sneakers. Now I'm not one to talk when it comes to buying un-needed gear, fitted caps, or sneakers, and tho I have never dropped $300 plus bucks on some dunks or Jordans (not that I don't want to, and I probably would had I not bought a motorcycle) I think the whole air Yeezy thing is kinda gone overboard.



I had a chance to stay up all night, and possibly buy the first colorway of the shoe at retail cost ($230) when they dropped a few weeks ago... But I figured I really REALLY like my sleep, and if I couldn't sell them, I prolly wouldn't wear them because they were kinda fugly. Also I have done the whole, wait in a line, all night for a product thing, and it's not worth it no matter how much I could slang them on ebay for. Then I hit up the homie Gomez to see what he though about the shoe and if he knew any insider info on the shoe, and his words of wisdom were "Buy them only if you like them"

Yesterday I read this post on Switch's blog, and saw that Levi Maestro was selling the Yeezy's he most likely got for free, but putting all the proceeds to chairity:

"This is a big deal to me. As you know the release of these first two Air Yeezy’s has been pretty crazy, I must admit, crazier than I imagined. There’s a lot of people out there that have taken this way too seriously, I’m not knocking any sneakerheads, fanatics, etc., however when it comes down to you acting like a little girl because you might not be able to get the shoes…this is when it has gone too far. Please realize that there is an enormous amount of people (including young children) in this world that have NO shoes at all!!!! Nobody needs the Yeezy’s and I am one of those people, so I’m auctioning the shoes on Ebay and 100% of the proceeds will be given to this DOPE organization called Soles 4 Souls."

Its funny because homie "test skated" the pair of kicks potentially worth over $700 bucks, and actually busted some sick tricks

It really goes to show you... Pretty much none of the material objects so many Americans spend all of their time/energy/money to acquire, really matter in the bigger picture, when children in other countries are starving and barefoot, or even worse forced to become soldiers ... Even though I really dig the black/pink colorway, I would much rather spend my money on my motorcycle, or a pair or Nike ID dunks that I could custom paint myself.

So if you really need to spend $700 on a pair of Air Gayfish's.... then buy the Maestro ones because 100% of those proceeds are going to a good cause...

PS.... anyone else think Maestro is killing it on the web-vid tip??? Well shot, well documented California lifestyle steez..... kinda what I had hoped to do with SB Nightlife TV

Food For Thought

So I usually run through the blogs on my sidebar on a daily basis..... usually I post other bloggers content here on the dirt report only when I find it to be amusing, entertaining or very relevant in the reality I live in......

Hipster Runoff has been one of those ones I check daily for a good laugh, a occasional boobie, and an electro mp3 here and there...

today I peeped this:

HIPSTER RUNOFF HACKED from Hackster Runoff on Vimeo.

I then read the 14 paragraph rant from the alleged hacker, and I really started to think about what dude is saying... It's interesting these day how the internet has shaped and continues to shape the social consciousness among My generation, your generation, and the young ones coming up.......

We live in a myspace world where fame can easily be obtained by how good you look in a selfshot mirror/bathroom picture.... Trends are easily copied and bitten without any skill or effort....Youth of today are seeking to gain acceptance from strangers who are their "friend" and dress/listen to the same music as them....

Everyone talks shit, PERIOD........ Everyone wants to be cool for not being like everyone else......

I have a myspace, and a facebook, and this blog....... honestly I waste more time here than any of the three.... but I don't base my life around the internet..... I just am at a computer for 40hours a week... with high speed internet connection.....

Maybe I'm still just a little stoned from my lunchtime bongloads, or maybe I havent ranted to my 5+ viewers in a while.....

but the hacker dude has some good points, here are my favorite quotes.....

"fuck any one who reads this blog. you should be ashamed of yourselves and your parents should take away your internet for a year and make you live on the streets, just like me. you fuckers don’t even know that there’s REAL PEOPLE out there who are LIVING LIFE and MAKING A LIVING. you just want to sit there and gawkerfy everything. like i said, i am deeply disturbed by today’s internet culture and the trends amongst the latest generation. every thing is like a mirror and every one just wants to reflect. they waste time on their bullshit myspaces posting photos and creating themselves. it’s just fucking bullshit. waste of time. you spend so much time thinking about who you are that you don’t even become someone. needless to say, with sites like this promoting that, this world is headed down the shitter. of course kids are gonna makes mistakes, but not if they are told that it is okay to make mistakes and that it is cool to act like a dumbfuck all the time."




"there is just so much hate in the scene that we are tearing apart. i am deeply disgusted with whats going on in the world right now and because of sites like these, we are losing our culture because we are afraid to be ourselves. ive got news for all of you–our world is not going to get any better any time soon, and this website is not helping it. fuck music blogs, culture blogs, and blogs that post cool looking pictures. if you really want to save the economy, how about keeping ass hole millenials from wasting time at work all day looking at cool shit that makes them feel connected. that would save us like millions of hours worth of work if we just made you fuckheads work in the fields like the slaves that you should be."

This Is Why You're Fat

So last month I posted a little something about the "Bacon Explosion"

Well it turns out America has an obsession with eating things that defy what should be eaten by any normal human
example:
Sloppy Joe On A Krispy Kreme

Or Baconnaise

Or what about the Bacon Donut?

I'm Pretty Sure This Is What's Wrong With America


Meet The "Bacon Explosion"

Now I love bacon just as much as the next man woman or child (Bacon is THE reason I'm no longer a vegetarian) But seriously America..... I think shit like this is why 63% of Americans are overweight


I think they should call it the "Gut Explosion" Or the "Pulmonary Explosion"........


Disgusting......
