Just one of those days

You know how sometimes you're having an amazing day, one that just can't get any better and then BOOM, it does. Oh yes it does, and it did. Came across this lil number on a routine velociped scouting of the nearby neighborhoods.

Sure, you say, big whoop, its from 2011. Ok, good point, but think "outside" the box, dummy. This is quality. And I don't mean quality like "ooooh, good shit, yo" - I mean quality as in a fresh new Chautauqua that you came up with all on your own, with no help from the likes of Poincaré or Phaedrus. Pure Zen, I tell you, whether or not you have a motorcycle to maintain, artfully.

Needless to say, one of my friends or associates, not sure who yet, is going to be cats pajamas with footsies about this shit when presented with a Holiday gift of such emotional magnitude. Happy upcoming good days, or at least day, since only the moon and the stars know about this end of the world biz.

2012 Red Bull Rampage

This event is always bananas, and this year was no exceptions. It def appears there are alot more single crown forks aka barspin city. That terrain looks like way too much fun to ride - minus the 60ft canyon gap kickers. Enjoy the show if you're yet to see this.

GTA:SA - The Introduction

“The Introduction” is a short film that acts as a prequel to Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Watch it immediately. “The Introduction” was previously only available on the game’s dual-disc soundtrack set and the Special Edition, but now with the anticipation of making trillions of dollars Rockstar decided to sprinkle some crumbs.

City Sky

What a gorgeous sight to be seen. Being able to watch a dawn like this one from start to finish is a real luxury and a zenful treat.

Tesla Model S

2013 Tesla Model S is all the rage right now. Electricity is the new black, and will be the new black for awhile so those who are not aware should give Tesla a look see.

Besides being a beautiful car, with wild and "cutting edge, bro" interior, this thingie got performance to match. And I'm not talking the usual performance associated with electric cars such as range and recharge speed or how many baby whales it saves from a local circus, I'm talking smoking the tires, 0-60 in around 4 seconds, faster then BMW M5 and Mercedes Benz CLS65 AMG, to 100 anyway with over 300lb-ft of torque at zero RPM's. 50k worth of Californian electrical muscle..... A thousand damnations.

Well guess, strolling for the morning coffee I bumped right into it. And just when I thought I was admiring this piece of modern engineering solo, I saw a gentleman, also with his telephone out, taking photographs. Fun to chitchat cars with a fellow vehicle nerd.
Its always funny how one persons trash is another persons treasure - as we stood there ogling over this marvelous piece of metal and plastic, literally a window into the future, dozens and dozens of people passed by without even noticing it. Their loss - but you all win, since below is the photographic evidence of this said event. Sure, you could just google Tesla Model S and get a million better pics and vids, but these are still warm. I should test drive one of these.

Foggy Manhattan

I don't think I've ever seen NYC as foggy as this morning. Nice hot coffee and a walk through the park on a drizzly day, what a treat.

Slobbing the GTA 5 knob

Seems like new screenshots are popping up all over the place. Instead of just dumping all of them here at once, we'll drop a few a day for the next FOREVER in anticipation of the pinnacle of today civilization embodied in a video game. The atmosphere in this game will be wild. GTA4, GTA SA, GTA VC and Read Dead combined plus - all available for you to explore from the get go in the typical Rockstar fashion. I mean, look at that damn dirt bike or that coast line....

Alright, I need to go kick something or at least wash my face with cold water, the level of geekory and nerdary I'm experiencing for this lil puppy is overwhelming.

GTA 5 Madness - Grand Theft Auto Retrospective: Part II

Makes me want to Dust off the ol' PS2 and pop in GTA 3, Vice City and San Andreas. Too many great games, too little time. 


Urban Outlaw

Great. Now besides an M3 I want a 911. What gorgeous pieces of machinery.

Fun'n'Games v 32 - The War Z

A zombie MMO that heavily borrows from DayZ mod for ARMA 2 but is a stand alone title. Looks quite interesting. Might have to try it out.

Fun'n'Games v31 - The Walking Dead

The ever so awesome PSN series is now available on the iPhone! They are releasing one episode at a time, with five total. They are quite a treat if you like zombie games - its one of the most epic choose your own adventure type games I've seen in awhile, which can be played at your casual pace since the action never really gets to crazy, plus one can never EVER go wrong with ZOMBIES! If you have an iPhone - get this lil puppy. Not sure if its out for the Genesee Cream Ale of the smartphone world - I guess some call them Androids or something rather...

5050 Skate Park Halloween BMX Jam 2012


Hell yea, who's ready for this??  You had me a rideable ambulance.    To tell the truth, you had me at Ernest!!!   Know what I mean Vern?   People probably don't even get that reference any more.   That dude was everywhere.  Commercials, movies, even a kids TV show

So there ya have, a BMX jam this saturday, where hopefully I'll see at least one zombie Jim Varney costume.

354 Front Street
Staten Island


PS - I'm not gonna make a separate post about it, cuz the more people that know about it, the fuckin worse it gets, but hopefully Bike Kill will be happening this weekend too.   So get your tetanus shots in advance.   This evidence makes me feel confidence it will be on and poppin as well.  So be ready for that Staten Island/Bedstuy journey.

GoPro 3

Glad I skipped on GoPro 2 - this thingie looks crispy nice. Supports up to 4K resolution - I mean, who messes with 1080p anymore? Pixlecity! Touch screen on the back, all sorts of other bells and whistles. I like it, I need it.
