Most of my posts are about money.

Or things to buy with money.

This bit of a poem is no different so if you don't like money...wait that doesn't compute.

I got so much cabbage I am making sauerkraut in the basement
my friend comes over and wonders where all the space went

That's all I got so far but it has been stuck in my head for a week maybe putting it up here will make it go away.

I wish I were a rich man.

This watch rules. I don't usually like Rolex because of the "hey look at me i got a rolex!" and "I am a douche." vibes they spew.

If I had this $21,600 one I would be very rich and everyone would still think I was a douche so who cares?

Here is the link if you want to buy one...oh hey since you are on your way over there why not get one for me too?

Bonneville 1954

I haven't been there yet. Life needs to be this simple building my own rod racing it at Bonneville. No negativity No politics No ego Me versus myself. As fast as I can. I need a Hot Rod.

I am building a pedal car.

Oh this doesn't actually have pedals. Sorry 'bout that. I never thought a car this small could be so much work. Though everything but the wheels are made by me. I have learned a lot trying to build this thing and even though it is not finished I thought a update would be nice. I have learned to weld aluminum with a TIG building this thing. Also I realized how hard it is to build something from scratch and having various unfinished pieces all relying on every other piece around it.



I wouldn't even know how many hours are invested. Too many for sure.

I wanted to make a scaled down version of the Niekamp roadster originally built in 1949 the first winner of Americas Most Beautiful Roadster and raced at the lakes too. Probably my favorite Hot Rod of all time and all dimensions. To learn more about it check your local library or follow this link Niekamp Roadster

Please explain this to me

Gucci Rubber boots $295


Walmart rubber boots $20

Exactly what does $275 buy someone? I admit the stripe is nice and that Gucci logo is sure to impress. But if am sloshing around in the snow will these stupid things do a better job?

Things like this irritate me.

Sherlock Holmes trashes some fool in bar fight.

I am a Sherlock Holmes fan, especially played by Jeremy Brett. This rules.

This robot got some moves.

Watch this robot dance!

This is from a robot dance competition obviously it was held in Japan. Sadly this guy only got 2nd place. First place went this robot dancing to some crazy Japanese pop song.


I can't wait until there are swarms of robots dancing in the streets for nickels!
If you want to hear the song again the name of the song is Joyful by Ikimono-gakari. Just in case you are like me and the song has bored it's way into your brain like some space beetle.

Forced Narcissism can be fun.

The whole experience of looking at yourself in the mirror for any length of time say like 4 hours is a strange experience. Scrutinizing my nostrils and trying to draw lips that look like mine, also drawing eyes and having to do them 4 times before they look like my eyes. It was all a bit weird. It is very hard to draw yourself because of what you think you look like and maybe how you want to look and ignoring all that and trying to draw yourself as you really are in the mirror. I had my arm drawn in there and it looks in the drawing very close to what it looked that day. People commenting on how muscular it looks is odd. I never thought of it being a muscular arm it's just mine. I couldn't help but think and worry if I had exaggerated it or if it is as it really is.

Having to show it to people and have them critique your drawing isn't fun. People say things like "Were you really pissed off when you drew yourself?" "Are your ears really that high on your head?" "What is with the hand on your face it looks like you were grabbing your face in pain or something?" etc. It isn't too hard for me to take but I imagine it would be hard for some to have strangers talking about their face.

In the end the only regret I have is why did I have my hand like that? It seems too serious and moody to me like I was in some dark emotional pain or something really I was just chillin and that's how I was holding my head. I was perfectly content though maybe a little bored. I guess it would be a bit more exciting if I was actually thinking of something artsy.

I am more likely to see a ballet.

I am not even sure if that's the proper way to say it. Is it I want to see Ballet or I want to see a Ballet?

I have never cared for dance. I just think it's boring and effeminate.

That was until I watched this video. There isn't any ballet on it but the guy made a good argument on why I should appreciate it.

I still might never go to a Ballet performance but I am now more likely too. Especially if they lose the sock in the crotch.

Some Art

I find this hilarious for some reason. Who wants to commission this to be painted for real?
