Saturation Point

A target was identified, my hunger was awakened, and a mission was launched.  Atop Mt. Laguna in eastern San Diego lies the decaying corpse of a military base known as a DEW Point.  Using the internet I compiled my research of the site.  Overhead imagery, a crude hand-drawn map of the base facilities, as well as working directions of how to get there.  With flashlight in hand I headed out for the mountain-top ruins. Once part of the D.E.W. Line... Read More

Atlas Shrugged

Horns honk intermittently while the sound of engines revving and brakes whining fills in every last gap of silence. There is no silence in the city. There is no silence in modern life. The smell of exhaust is overpowering, the sickly toxic bonding of carbon monoxide with my blood – the human body craves the poison hundreds of times more than it craves oxygen. My body is killing itself. Modern life is assisted suicide. My body is dying and... Read More

Green Farm

I have long searched through this world for ruins.  Even as a child exploring abandoned places was of primary interest.  Shadow strewn construction sites, haunted burnt-out old buildings, and creepy derelict expanses were both church and school to me.  Lonely places, empty places.  Through my miserable life I have followed this impulse all the way down the rabbit hole.  I have explored the ruins of modern civilizations and ancient ones alike. ... Read More

Bully

I am a bully. I have come to the realization that I am a scum-sucking lowlife bully.  I have always thought of myself as a pretty happy-go-lucky drunk.  The kind of jolly boozer that only really makes an ass out of himself much to the amusement of everyone around him but with no real harm done.  Unfortunately for me, reality doesn’t give a shit about what I think about myself.  Two weekends in a row and after the unanimous decision of everyone... Read More

Aggravatron (The Angry Robot)

Today was one of those days where everything goes wrong. From beginning to end this day was a total nightmare. I should have known, in fact I even had forewarning that today was going to be a shit storm but I pressed forward like a good little automaton droid. It was a Monday first of all, which means that it has a suck factor right from the start. Next, I’m on the way to my truck at like 5:30 am and a goddamn skunk comes out of nowhere and tries... Read More

Hipsters of the World, Unite!

Linkery žil, Linkery žije, Linkery bude žít..? If you’re looking for a great place to eat with friendly service and a good menu then stay the fuck away from The Linkery in North Park. I promise to you the place is run by fucking commies! First and foremost, you will be paying top dollar for a plate filled with fucking hotdogs!? I mean for two people to eat without even buying drinks you will drop around thirty bucks for four sausages total.... Read More

Bums

The fucked up thing about dry cleaning is that I can never completely remember if I just dropped something off or picked it up.  Regardless, I had a pack of matches in my pocket from my buddy’s wedding and it came from my dry cleaning, wherever the hell it was.  I hopped into my truck and drove north.  Through the choking traffic and caustic fumes of car exhaust into the barren black hills that are all that remained after the wildfires. ... Read More

Stop, Drop, and Roll

It smells nice at first, nostalgic even.  Burning wood and charcoal embers seem almost appropriate in October.  It is a month of grey, orange, and black.  A month of dry grass blowing in the wind.  A month of pumpkin faces with fire in their eyes.  After a quick workout I called up my buddy Igor.  He had been laying fallow since the cancellation of his college courses for two straight days.  “Closed because of fire” is not an uncommon sight... Read More

(Fart Noises)

I saw a woman in the gym tonight wearing a breathing mask while she was running on the treadmill. Why are people so fucking lame? Lady, you are an IDIOT! On a side note, I discovered something a while ago – AND I already posted it up here, but for whatever reason I’m doing it again…. like an idiot: Listen to both of these back to back and you decide…?! Eddie Cochran – C’mon Everybody (released in 1959) The Ramones... Read More

Air Raid Bitchez!

I went to the Red Bull Air Races on the San Diego Bay all day Saturday and it was TOTALLY BADASS! These little planes can do shit that I’ve never seen before. It was the coolest thing ever. My bro took his boat out and we basically pigged out on fried chicken and beer while planes did gnarly spins and turns and shit right overhead all day long. There was a Navy airshow as well and we got buzzed by a bunch of badass jets and shit. On top of all... Read More
