Vampires?

This weekend I saw the Vampire Flick Twlight.
Edward Cullen AKA Anthony Masen knocked the whole theatre's socks off. I find this whole vampire crazy amusing. I have always been a fan, since the first time I saw Interview With A Vampire, followed by The Lost Boys... Vampires seem to become popular every 10- 15 years, but who knows... that is a guessamate. They were big in the 80's, then Buffy came out...now Twlight, True Blood, and some dumb ass reality shit I saw on MTV. Twlight was good, I was in a bad, sappy mood and it is a die hard cold blooded love story. Funny thing is, the story line is exactly the same as HBO's True Blood. It goes like this- A hot little virigin falls in love with a vampire. Her blood is so sweet that it drives all the vampires crazy because her scent lingers everywhere... so they all end up fighting over her. But her blood sucker boyfriend vampire is absolutely in love with her so he doesn't want to kill her, just a little drop o' blood here and there! So he spends his time protecting her and saving La Virgen from the slu of evil vampires. It's crazy. I think that is why we as humans are obsessed with this fictional (? questionable :) ) character. They are sexy, and they look like humans, case in point. Get some vampire action.

Tea Fire Started By SBCC Kooks

Directly From The Independent

A statement from Santa Barbara City College President Andreea Serban confirmed Thursday that nine of the ten people allegedly responsible for the Tea fire were enrolled at the at SBCC.

She was notified yesterday by the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department Wednesday, the same day Westmont and UCSB officials were apparently told their students had nothing to do with the case.

“We are deeply saddened by this news and extend our heartfelt sympathies to all members of the community and their families who were affected by this tragedy,” Serban said in a statement. “Our students, as with all college students, have personal lives outside of the college. We acknowledge these boundaries and do not oversee students’ personal activities away from campus.”

Speculation started running wild after Sheriff Bill Brown initially identified the group as local 18 to 22 year olds. Later in the same news conference he added that the group was affiliated with a school, but he declined to say which one. Because of Westmont’s proximity to the Tea Gardens, many theorized that Westmont students were to blame.

While this most recent revelation answers some questions, ultimately it will be the students, and not the school, who are responsible for the fire and charged with a crime. Because they have not been arrested, the ten have not been named by law enforcement. The investigating agencies are expected to turn over their reports next week to the District Attorney’s office, which will decide whether or not to file charges.

Brown announced Tuesday that investigators—acting on an anonymous tip—had determined a group of ten had visited the Tea Gardens—in the hills above Westmont—the previous night for a bonfire. They left believing they had extinguished the fire, but more than 12 hours later the hot embers were kicked up by fierce sundowner winds. Brown characterized the peoples’ actions were not malicious, but careless.

Woah, I don't even know what to say about this one. Our community is very strong and is currently working on helping the many families that lost their homes. Several personal friend's of mine houses were lost in the fire. Over 200 homes were lost.

Todd Bratrud does it again

Perhaps the most famous skateboard artist in the industry right now, and my personal friend, Todd Bratrud has done it again!

Check out this rad interview on King Shit

& these dope "Vikings of Hesh" decks he did for the Creature Team!! Creature is pretty much killing it right now, and they have my favorite Baby Lover - Baby Lamb

Burton "Love" Series causing some heat

Check out these fly snowboards from Burton's 09 LOVE series. I think they are pretty dope, however some peeps in the industry are just plain hating. I have been reading all this BS about their marketing strategies & that its not artistic. Who cares??? Naked woman have been a key figure in art since the beginning of time, if not the most painted thing out there. Either way, I am obsessed & think it is totally artistic. Homeboys trying to call out Hugh Hefner for not being artistic. LOL! Now I gotta figure out how to ride one of these sluzies. :)

Gun Man on La Cumbre Identified

From KEYT
A masked gunman waving an American flag and a handgun on a freeway overpass surrendered to police Monday after forcing a traffic shutdown for hours.

The man gave himself up at midmorning west of downtown Santa Barbara at Highway 101, a major route along the California coast. No shots were fired. Traffic was backed at least three miles in each direction.

The man agreed to give up after he was allowed to attach a Barack Obama campaign sign and the flag to the overpass railing, said police Sgt. Jim Pfleging.

Police were continuing to investigate a duffel bag and the man's car at the scene but "we have no credible threats or any threats of explosives," Pfleging said.

Police identified the man as 28-year-old Eddie Van Tassel. Pfleging said the man is believed to be a service veteran and will receive a mental health evaluation.

The man, wearing a ski mask and brown fatigues, had the flag in one hand and the gun in the other when officers arrived on the highway's La Cumbre Avenue overpass just after 7:10 a.m., said police Sgt. Lorenzo Duarte.

A police special weapons and tactics team and a crisis negotiation team used a bullhorn to communicate with him. After nearly three hours, he put the handgun on the ground and walked backward to police officers.

All I have to say about this kook is that he made me an hour late to work. Thanks for fucking up most of SB's morning selfish prick. Put a sign on your god damn lawn!

OBAMA CLEANS UP THE ELECTION

Barak Obama Elected President of The United States on November 4, 2008.
Did you know that JFK used to play football on the lawn of The White House every Sunday with his bros? I hope Obama plays basketball at The White House. Maybe he will invite Kobe. That would be sick. I am sure he could show him how to dunk or something cool. At least to get that foo on the court of the LA Lakers with Jacko.

Oprah was pissing her pants yesterday. Will she have another rager in Cito now that he is prezzy? Hope so!!

One person Barak forgot to thank last night... Sherpard Motherfuckin' Ferry!!!
Let's just remember that the famous artist & propaganda leader created the iconic image that was spread across the country at every urban outfitters in the US for hipsters to rally with.

God bless Obey. Barak- Props are needed.

Thug Pooh

Sean Anderson wins best costume.

Between the mad doggers- the Pooh Pooh suit- the grill- & the break dancing moves- the Pooh Bear costume never fails EVER!

Just because it's Halloween...

...Don't mean you can wear that shit!

Why do girls do this every year? Halloween does not give you a pass to wear clothes that STILL don't look good on you.

This fashion/ costume offender was found at Tonic Night Club. There was a slu of other sleezies but I found myself getting over non- flattering photos.
Case In Point.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
