real life dream cars.

Most people i know don't care at all about cars. or if they do they don't see the point in going to a car show to look at things they can't afford. i like looking at cars i cant afford. i like looking at rembrandts i can't afford too. as a public service lets look at some dream cars that are cool and you could maybe buy one.

the first one that comes to mind is the VW type 3. it's cute. it looks like a from a 50s illustration. here's the fast back.\
this is the squareback.

even if you had millions of dollars most of you wouldn't drive this pininfarina Maserati birdcage because it would seem "ridiculous". (you're dead wrong but whatever)
here's one of my dream cars that's a little more practical.

the mercedes diesel wagon is sophistcated, useful and classic. they look best if they're painted a cool color like redish orange or a muted green.
i'm bored of this subject but used volvos and audis are also cool.

do you know the only car in the permanent collection of the museum of modern art. it's this. the 1946 cisitalia. isn't it beautiful?

geek test.

i think i might be a geek. to find out i will create a test and answer the questions.

do you want the Blade Runner: the final cut dvd?

yes

do you want the 2 disc special edition?

not really

do you want the 5 disc ultimate collectors edition?

yes, please. I'm so sorry.

do you want to go to new york to watch the film in the theater.

yes

Do you want to see a special screening of this influential masterpiece at the 45th new york film festival.

yes

do you want to attend a special panel discussion on the film.

yes

do you want to dress as detective rick deckard , trench coat and all, for the screening?

more than anything. please forgive me. do you know how to sew? i think i can make the gun.

Result: i am not a geek. what is geeky about a detective in the year 2019 that has to hunt down an kill super sophisticated androids called replicants? nothiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!

my dream that isn't boring

i know it's very boring when someone tells you they had a crazy dream but try and see if this is boring. i dreamed i went to Baghdad for work and it really wasn't that bad. a lot of the businesses were still open and they had a lot of cool signs and stuff. then i met up with jerry and elaine from seinfeld and hung out with them in an office in the middle of a war zone . that's where they've both been since the shows been off the air.

then i dreamed about them two more times since then!

france, i wanna go

i want to go to france. i feel i would be inspired if i went to france. i've been loving the french versions of everything i already love. i love signs, cars, bikes, motorcycles, buildings, and guitars. the french design aesthetic seems to me like- this can be fun, lets try and enjoy ourselves. ok?

this site has great signs from france which inspire me so i try to copy them. mine look a little dopey though, i call it hand made charm

this beautiful sports car is called a Facel Vega. i like it. don't you?

they even have a nice logo
i love citroens. this 2cv looks so homemade i want to eat it. there's one down the street and i tried to eat it. i was so embarrassed when i realized what i was doing. this citroen ds had hydraulic suspension in 1957(!). the back goes up and down.

i love french constructeurs. they're like bike builders but they make the parts for the bike too. not just the frame. the best are rene herse and alex singer. although both guys are dead you can still buy an alex singer from his shop in paris. it's run by his son (? or something)
ok, i don't care that much about french motorcycles, you all know more than me about france's architecture and i can only think of one french guitar and that's the maccaferri as played by django reinhardt and seen in the movie sweet and lowdown. i do want one but it's not my favorite

i guess that's the end of my blog. bye.

Vote

you guys, it's so important that you vote for most smug rockstar. i'm pretty sure all my readers have voted so this is more of an outcry to strangers who may stumble upon this blog. i need to know who thinks the most of himself! i forgot to add john Mayer but it wouldn't be fair to add him now since the public has already started voting.

mr. rogers

here is a very interesting and touching little article about mr. rogers. i never really cared for his show because of its slow pace and crappy sets but this is nice.

poor taste .......or do i?

first, sorry to everyone that was waiting for me to post pictures of bugattis and alfa romeos on a flickr page. i ...won't be going to the new york car show. i had the year wrong. the day and month were right on. it's not until september 2008. so...sorry matt b. i promise, this is the last dumb thing i do.


next, i wanna say that this new(ish) detective on law and order is cute. she looks really like, no nonsense or something.
i admitted this to emily during an episode and she stared at me like i was a perverted pedophile sitting right in the room with her. she said, " she look exactly like a boy! do you like little boys?" i argued that i thought she was hot and the producers wouldn't have put her on the show if they didn't think she was hot too. she said that hollywood was run by gay men. i don't care.i will admit that she looks a little like alfalfa, who i don't find attractive.


while i was looking at the law and order site to get these pictures i found out her character's name is detective wheeler. but all these people left comments talkin shit about her saying, like, don't put her on the show anymore . i feel like no one has any taste in detectives.


speaking of taste. here are some thing that i think look great and i have to say, "awesome!" when i see them. do i have any brothers or sisters out there who agree with me or do i have bad, boring taste in everything.

i like gibson and gretsch archtop guitars



i like futuristic illustrator syd mead

i like english motorcycles like velocette and vincent



i like handmade bikes like mariposa and toei



i like mercedes 300sl gullwings


did that do anything for you guys or am i all alone? oh, i don't care .bye.

regis has moves

our little regis is quite an athlete. no, i don't mean like, he's good at football, baseball and street hockey(can you imagine!)- but this little guy can jump like an atomic spring.



this is where he goes when he's feeling especially "athletic"


he has a fake mouse he can't freaking stand. he wants to destroy it!
