Queensland Floods

Crazy.

I came home from my Christmas/NYE break in Adelaide to the 'Sunshine State' right into the middle of the biggest flood since 1976. Towoomba got caught in an insane flash flood that was caught in the following vid.

Brisbane City CBD is already evacuated and flooded and the worst is still yet to come.

R.I.P to those whose lives were sadly taken in this freak of nature, and massive respect to the SES volunteers risking life and limb to rescue people and property.

Impressive Shit

Even though I am a Ironlak stalwart, I have to give props where they are due.

This wall by Mad C is fucking impressive. And I mean, seriously fucking impressive

Sketch Swap Shit

So some of you may remember that a little while back i posted these sketches I did for a swap with Jaes, Storm and Nemo.

The guys have returned me some ill sketches and I am eager to paint them.
I found an hour during the week to get this funky little number from  Jiggy Jaes up on a spot and was pretty happy with the result for quick smash up!
Bigups to JBizzurns, Nemo and Storm Oner for getting me these bangin sketches.

Dirty Tattoos...

On Sunday I made the 2hr journey up to Coolum to see my good friend Ben Laukis at Coolum tattoo.

Ben is a very talented writer and tattooist who specialises in colour and greywash portrait work as well as having really dope script and lettering. I had a bit of a concept of getting two colour portraits on the back of my legs and when I decided I was doing it for sure, my homey Ben was the only guy for the job.

I figured seeings I was making the journey up, it would only make sense to document a bit of the day for the blog, so heres some flicks.
Apologys some of the pics aint the best as they are from my iphone. As usual you can click to enlarge,

Ben's Station

They're called machines, not guns ;)

Jordans Response to Lebrons Nike Ad

a few weeks back i posted the new Lebron Nike ad  responding to the critics of his move to Miami.

Subsequently the Heat have had a dismal start and many pundits are openly questioning James' heart and will to succeed.

This video is a direct response to the Lebron ad.

Jay Z interviewed by Howard Stern

A Pretty interesting and in depth interview.

Worth the listen.

The Fighter

I get the feeling this is going to be really fucking dope.

I remember watching Mickey Wards battles with Gatti and was just amazed at the heart of those two guys.

Looking forward to this one.

Some recent hands..

A wise man once said " The more I practice, the luckier I get"

I'd like to think that my game is improving, and its nice when Jokerstars lets the cards fall my way occasionally.

Second Royal Flush - unfortunately couldntget much value.

Flop Quads, Get Paid

Just to rub it in....

Big Blind Special- something poetic about four 4's
     
 Of course Pokerstars being Jokerstars, it wouldnt be right if people didnt catch some bad beats on me.

Unfortunately I copped 3 HORRIBLE beats in a row the other, one two-outer, and two 3-outers in about the space of six hands and lost a fair stack because of it. I screen capped the first, the second i was too fuming, and the third I was ready to punt my computer thru the window, so i logged out haha.

A lot of people talk up Bad Beats, but here is the proof:

Red October

Candace Rae.


Lebron James - Rise

Lebron has gone from one of the most revered athletes in the world to one of the most reviled in the space of a few months.
On the eve of the new NBA season at his new team, Nike have given him a platform to address the critics in a way that is poignant and at times humorous.

Red October

Robert Downey Jr. reacts to Dan Hardy getting KTFO




 The boys from Sherlock Holmes were in attendance at UFC 120 this past Saturday, taking in a few fights while enjoying a break from the production of their upcoming sequel. No doubt there was some friendly, posturing going on between the three superstars, as Robert Downey Jr. is the only American in the group, while Jude Law and Guy Ritchie are both very, very British.

At one point, during the first round of the co-main event between Dan Hardy and Carlos Condit, the patriotic divide between the three entertainers appeared to reach it's breaking point. Late in the round, right after Condit landed a punishing left hook that dropped his British opponent, RDJ is seen leaping from his seat and celebrating the American's victory in the middle of a stunned O2 arena.

 Then, as referee Dan Miragliotta is jumping in to stop the fight, we see Downey Jr. look down at (the still seated) Law and Ritchie with a big ol' American grin on his face.


 Sadly, we weren't able to see the (what we could only imagine to be) looks of horror on the faces of the other two, as one of their fellow countrymen laid sprawled out on the canvas.

Red October

Ok, so she has died her hair blonde here, but that can not deny the fact that Kate Winslett is a natural ranga.

Not to mention her boobies out, sketch scene in Titanic was the stone cold highlight of the movie..

Trust me, you can spend waaaaay too much time looking into this....

No Not This Red October...

















....This Red October:



















Thats right scumbags and degenerates. After giving Calendar Girl the month off, I have come back with the brainwave from my main hombre Boozy Tuesy.

The man is a bit of a fan of the ginger goodness, and he came up with the idea to rock Red October all month long. So I'm going to do my best to bring the best of the reds to the Essential Shit for your viewing pleasure.

Here's a special one just for you Big Tuesy...


The Roots, JT and Jimmy Fallon

I cant decide whether I think its kind of cool that these guys are jamming with the Roots and went to the trouble to rock this. Part of me def enjoyed it. The other part of me thinks I should be cringing in disgust at what hiphop is coming to and that The Roots are even doing this.

the conundrums we bitter, cynical old hiphop heads face....

Anyway, have a look and decide for yourself.
