Alright homefries, I'm pissed.

Last night, I got home from work after a very busy day, walked across the street to Fishlips, had a couple brews and spoke to Andrizzle (Fishlips bartender,) about the upcoming Very Be Careful show on July 27th at Fishlips (check our event calender!,) talked my girl, went home,started some laundry, checked my e-mails for the last time, kicked off my shoes,and turned on Project Runway.

Project Runway has become quite the obsession in the office, and if you say you don't watch it, YOU LIEEEEE!!!

I watched last season as a prego Heidi Klum (complete with mother-to-be glow,) bid "Awe Veederstein" or something like that, to the losers, and watched Santino crumble all season, until he eventually got booted.

As I prepared myself to start another thrilling season, it seemed like everything was in order and life was good. The new cast was introduced, they did the whole profile thing on each contestant, and the first challenge was announced..Contestants were told to create an outfit out of anything in their apartment. Mind you, there were up to 4-5 people crammed into little apartments, and all they had were simple beds, and cheap-looking furniture. All teams destroyed their rooms, collecting everything from curtains, bowls, the upholstery off a bar stool, etc..

The teams started sewing away and the arrogant commentary was thrown in, with competitors talking smack about each other. There was some really horrible looking crap I wouldn't let my girlfriend's dog wear, but it makes for some good trash TV to watch people in a fishbowl..

Aaahhh yes...life is good, THEN...POW!

The power goes out right before the judging. DAMN! No more Heidi, no more trash TV! Nooooooooooooo!!!!!!!(in Darth Vader voice)

It gets so dark in my apartment building, that if the lights go out, you'd think you had your eyes closed. You can see nothing. Picture me if you will, in the darkness, alone with the instant heat that consumes the room when the A/C is on the fritz, holding my bottle of Hawaiian Punch and looking lame, in the same postion, unmoved, for 15 minutes.

When the power came on, I frantically clicked and clicked to see what happened. The cable was OFF!!! It came free with the apartment, so I'm even more pissed than before. WHAT HAPPENED???

I knew I shoulda went over to my girlfriend's place...$%#$#$#^$#!!!!

Beginning a long evening, I looked through my DVD collection, closed my eyes and blindly picked a title..."Mi Vida Loca," ended up the lucky winner, a movie about cholos and cholitas living in Echo Park.

"Mi Vida Loca" is part of the "Vato Loco" series that includes, "American Me," "Blood In-Blood Out," and "Boulevard Nights."
I don't include "Walk Proud," the old movie with Robbie Benson in brown paint meant to look Latino...LOL!!

Wait!!! I don't even know what I'm talking about anymore. I'll shut-up now...

BAKERSFIELD LOSES A BROTHER IN ART..
I also would like to express our condolences to the family and friends of Bakersfield artist David Fuentes, who passed away this week after a long bout with Cancer. An artist with unlimited ideas and potential, Dave is responsible for some of the greatest tattoo art Bako has ever seen....
(David & Nicole Fuentes / R.Horn photog.)
David was a good friend to many, a proud father, and a wonderful husband. If you've never seen any of David's work, stop by Mad Dog Tattoo downtown and ask. A true original and larger than life human being....We'll miss you bro..

Peace everyone,

Matt

"You lied to me vato. And now I'm going to have to kill my friend." "You never throw down with your homegirl over a vato" YES... my two favorite lines from Mi Vida Loca! hahahaha
