Getting Amped Up For The Superbowl

Since I was born in Massachusetts, I've always loved this team. I remember year after year of 2-14 seasons. I remember crying in 1986 when the 15-1 Bears beat Tony Eason and the Pats in the Superbowl. Now, I've got nothing to be bummed about. Pats are going to destroy the Dolphins this Sunday, dominate the entire post season and claim the Superbowl trophy. Quote me on that.

"What is Wrong With You?"

People always ask me... "what the fuck is wrong with you??" So, I figured I would conjure up a small list of things that I feel have contributed to the person I am today which may help you understand how I think and do the things I do. Enjoy.

Macho Man Randy Savage

The most electrifying entertainer of all time and my most inspirational icon ever.

Gobots!

Everyone jocks transformers and Voltron, but this is the OG, Under-the-radar pimp-shit.

VOLTRON

This cartoon will beat your ass into the ground and was one of my favorites growing up. Dope.

Wu Tang Clan - 36 Chambers

Probably one of the single most influential albums in my collection. First acquired when I was in middle school.

Skateboarding

Morrissey

One of my all time favorite recording artist. Just seems to fit every mood I'm in all at once.

LARRY BIRD

The greatest and my all time favorite. This duds is truly inspirational.

Karate Kid

One of my favorite movies from when I was a youngster, the story of an East coast Italian transplant thrown into west coast culture. I can relate and Elkizabeth Shue is hot as fuck.

Graffiti

I might/might not've dabbled a bit in my day, but the culture is something I've been involved in since I was 12. This is Style Wars, the best documentary about the movement that I have ever seen.

Mafia movies.

I grew up on ever deniro, pacino drug dealer mafia movie on earth.

Early 90s Hardcore and Gangsta Rap

Two of my favorites merged together. Never duplicated.

Just a small reasoning as to why I am the way I am. Skateboarding, hiphop, heavy metal, 80s cartoons and movies, east coast to west coast, raised by a southern gentleman and I am who I am. So, next time you want to ask "what the fuck is wrong with you?" take a look at why I am who I am. I'd blame pop culture, but that's neither here nor there. Hope this small list helped turn you onto something that you may have not known about or reminded you of something familiar.

I am Slim. Be easy, World.

Because I am so generous... Phoebe Kates!

Damn!

I Should Have Been a Lot of Things

But a scientist would've been pretty righteous. Just sayin'.

You're welcome for that science babe.

I am Slim and I should've been a scientist.

Is Nothing Sacred?

I wonder how this one flew under my radar. I think I almost threw up.

Hollywood has been sticking their dick into all my favorite cartoons that I grew up loving and it's sickening.

What the fuck, right?

First they mutilate Transformers. Although the movies were cinematic versions of giant heaps of shit.. they did bring us Megan Fox, which unfortunately wasn't enough to save the movie, but god damn was she hot.

Next in line. G.I. Joe. I didn't even see this movie to see that is was hand-grenade full of horse shit. I admit, I never watched the movie, but I would jerk off to Sienna Miller as the Baroness. God damn is she fly!

Street Fighter was a little different, but similar to the for mentioned, was a total shit sandwich. Even though it featured Kristin Kreuk of Smallville fame... just wasn't enough for me to not get the film strip of the movie converted into a roll of toilet paper, but it's not even good enough for that.

I don't even watch movies anymore, because it's all remakes, cgi and sequels to shit they never should have made sequels to in the first place. I recognize that this trailer was fan-made and he did a good job of meshing Troy, X-Men, Chronicles of Riddick, Planet of the Apes and Thunder Dome, but the pure idea that Hollywood will be making a real version pisses me off.

I guess the only thing I have to look forward to is hoping that Cheetarah is as hot as that blue Avatar chick. MEOW!

And just because I'm feeling generous... on more pic of Megan Fox.

I am Slim and I approve this message and these babes.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM THE ILL POSSE.

The Greatest Tragedy in American History

The greatest tragedy in American History happened in the early 80s. I am talking about DMC or Deloreon Motor Company going bankrupt and putting a stop on the production of the sweetest car of all time, The DMC - 12.

Most of you my recognize this car from the movie which made it famous in the 1985 classic, Back to the Future in which the DMC - 12 was converted into a time machine which took our hero, Marty Mcfly back into the past where he pulled mad babes, taught his pops how to stick up to dog-faced bullies, jammed some sick riffage at a talent show, kissed his own mother and saved the lively hood of his parents' future finances.

A true story of epic american-ness. I love it.

The fact that these cars have been out of production is a damn shame. A true American tragedy.

People Being People

Now, I'm not a big fan of laughing at people.... nah fuck that, yes I am. This video made me think my appendix burst I was laughing so hard. So many elements contribute to each other to make this video funny as all hell. I'll let you watch for yourself. (ps. it gets GOOD around 1:15)

Here's the question of the day... Where do you think these people are present day?

Slim, Master of Mind Fuckery. Happy Holidays!

I love people, but only when they act like this.

Keep your eye on the stoner.

Shark Hawk

The Shark Hawk, aka the Shawk or the AIR HAMMER.

Regardless of what it's name is, we can all agree that this thing is fucking cool.

Just sayin'.

Do someone a favor and get this for them as an Xmas, it's fucking cool. That is all.

-Slim to Infinity

My On-going Beef With Verizon

"Can you hear me now?"

No, I can't hear you, because you turned my fucking phone off for the 3rd time this month.

"How about now? Can you hear me now?"

No, but I would like to smash your face with a fucking hammer.

Not that kind of Hammer, something more like this.

It's safe to say that if I owned a hammer like this, Verizon's collective face would be smashed in and their asses considered kicked.
So, let's go back in time to February 2010. My piece-of-shit-phone known as "the Envy" finally took that long nap with it's dick in the dirt. Since, the phone was so fucking old and shitty, Verizon refused to replaced and swindled me into buy what they like to call, "the droid".

I guess my first beef with Verizon is that they falsely advertise their equiptment with bullshit names. "the envy"? Really? Tell me something, who is envious of that pile of shit? If their is one person out there, I'd like to see them. "Envy" if you're going to be accurate about it, why don't you call it, "the cellphones equivalent to a genital rash"

Maybe this chick is envious, but she also has a literal pile of shit tattooed on her forever... so, her judgment may be questionable.
Anyways, my point that I made to Verizon is that "This Droid phone fucking sucks and you cheated me into buying it. I'll pay my bill when you give me a phone that works."

So, as you can probably guess how that turned out, because my phone is now off.
I might break down and pay the damn bill, just to make them give me a new phone, but I might experience that unfamiliar to me feeling of defeat.
Yeah right, this is Slim we're talking about. I never lose and I don't back down to know one. So, what I'm going to do is break the shit out of this phone, but make it look like it's still functioning. Maybe super glue closed every open port of this phone. Immature? Maybe, but it'll teach them a lesson and save whomever gets this piece of proverbial shit as a refurbished product.
In closing, The Verizon man and his little posse down there at Verizon wireless can eat a serious shit sandwich. Now Verizon man, I ask you, can you hear ME now, loser.

I am Slim and I am an unsatisfied customer.

ps. if anyone has Verizon man's personal cell number... please give it to me. I've got beef to settle.

I Fucks With Riff Raff

Make no mistake, I fucks with Riff Raff now and forever.

It's That Time of Year!

Yes, yes ya'll. You know what time it is! It's time we spike that eggnogg with as much rum and cocaine as possible, put on gnarly knit sweaters, bring the pets outside and beat them with garden tools, set fire to whole city blocks, eat so much candy that your teeth fall out, etc... IT'S XMAS TIME!
Now let me tell you my favorite part of the holidays, it's not the scantily dressed elves that assist in Santa picture taking, not the seasonal peppermint latte at starbucks, not the marijuana laced baked goods... it's the CHRISTMAS MOVIES!
This blog entry is dedicated to some of my all time favorite Xmas movies!

It's hard to choose a favorite, but this is near the top. Not only is it one of my favorite Xmas movies, but one of my favorite Arnold movies.
JINGLE ALL THE WAY

On to the next cinematic piece of genius. I enjoy this movie so much I could watch it in July three times a week all month.
BAD SANTA

And here, we have a classic. A classic story of a dysfunctional family, the struggle of American life and most importantly a story of CHRISTMAS.
A CHRISTMAS STORY

Arguably Will Ferrell's funniest movie. Also, one of my most enjoyed seasonal flicks.
ELF

Now this flick used to scare the shit out of me when I was a little lad, but now that I am old enough to realize with the perfect amount of LSD, one can appreciate anything.
RUDOLPH THE RED NOSED REINDEER

Vince Vaughn, one of my favorite actors in this awesome flick about the holidays and being that loveable, fuck-up brother that I know all too weel.
FRED CLAUS


This is just a small list of my favorite recommendations. So, if you haven't seen any or all of these, be sure to check them out! These flicks keep me laughing and stoked on this season.

-Slim Nasty

Popular Demand!

Probably one of my favorite songs by 3 of my favorite rappers ever, Pusha, Malice and of course, Killa!

This cut reminds of the beginning of 2010 a whole bunch. I was just getting back into the northwest from New York. Staying with my mom in Lacey, working the shop in Tacoma and driving dirty up and down the I-5 from Portland to Seattle on the regular.

Check that red Play Cloths flannel Pusha is sporting in this video.... ILL if I've ever seen ILL before. You can see more from Clipse's Play Cloths clothing line here,

www.playcloths.com

A lot has gone by and a lot has changed for me through-out the course of 2010, but I am very excited to put this year to a close and start 2011 on the right foot. It's looking like Ill Intent will be taking me out to Europe this spring, as well as extensive touring in the states and North America.

The new store, The Cool in the Southcenter mall is opened and I am feeling very good about it.

2011 is looking pretty fantastic and who know, I might even talk Dell into fixing my laptop.... but don't hold your breath on that one.

PS. Fuck you, Dell-Dude.

-8th Wonder of the World, Slim.

Fallin' Off?

So, a ton people been asking about this here blog.
"yo, what's up? you done with it?"
The answer is, no. The reason for the neglect on this blog is the malfunctions to my laptop and Dell's refusal to help me get it fixed.

"dude, you're getting a Dell." really translates to "dude, you're getting a mediocre computer from a company with absolutely NO customer service. You can press one or stay on the line for English, but the customer service rep doesn't speak English."

No, Steve... there is no reason to be excited, which is probably why Dell junked you along with your stupid gimmick and you're most likely eating out of a Jack in the Box dumpster somewhere in Santa Cruz at the moment.

Way to go, Steve. Looks like you're one cold, half-eaten jumbo jack away from leaping off a cliff onto some sharp rocks. So, the next time you're thinking about purchasing a Dell, please think twice.

"Dude, you're getting a Dell."

"Dude, you give handies to paraplegic war vets for enough money to smoke that crack rock, loser."

I'm Slim and I endorse this message.

PS FUCK YOU DELL, YOU CAN EAT SOME SHIT.

The Cream of the Crop!

Truly an inspiration to me and the writing process which goes into Ill Intent songs. Soaring with the eagles and slithering with the snakes. Too hot to handle, too cold to hold! Space is the place! oh yeah!

RAINFEST RAINFEST

As many of you know. Rainfest weekend has already come and gone, but not before leaving a long lasting imprint on 2010. I have had the good fortune of being able to play every year for the last 4 years, but this year was different. This year was COLOSSAL. Reunions from Indecision, Left With Nothing and even Eddie Leeway's new band, Truth and Rights. Also hardcore heavy-weights Terror, Trapped Under Ice and Hammer Bros. I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't looking forward to this one more than the previous, because I definitely had been. Rainfest 09 was great, but we have progressed so much as a band, have newer songs that we play and have tightened up from playing out so much. I was really looking forward to our set. Unfortunately I we did not play until Sunday, which is fine, but it gave me time to watch every band and be nervous the entire fest... SWEET, minus the sweet. It was no sweat though. There was a heap of rad bands on the fest and some awesome locals on the lineup, like Grave Maker, Power, Vanguard, Gone But Not Forgotten, Crooks to Kings and much more. The weather was pretty undesirable on the first two days and the police presence was some of the biggest power-trippin' un-neccessary bullshit I have ever seen in my life. Jay-Walking tickets actually exist? They were just out in full force to flex and try to intimidate the community... thus furthering the PIG stereotype and shattering any mystery as to why people hate cops. Fuck the police. Any way, other than that small damper on the weekend, everything else was great and went off without a hitch. My man Q was there slangin' up BBQ, Taco Truck was delicious and 7-11 was full of snacks and beverages of coldness. I was there all three days, made lots of new friends, caught up with some old ones and had lots of fun. Here are some pictures from the Future Breed site of our set.

FUTURE BREED GALLERIES

And there you have it. Rainfest in pictures! I know I have not been updating this blog like I used to, I blame that on a broken computer and Dell's refusal to help me get what I need to fix it. Fuck Dell and fuck the police. I will hit you with an update soon. Until then, Ill Nation, keep on!

90's themed show (All Biohazard cover set)

Maybe you didn't hear, maybe you did. Either way, the show happened and 6 biohazard songs were played. In the theme of letting the pictures speak for the show rather than a write up. Here you are! (Photo cred. Shelby Johnson.)

The setlist went Urban Discipline, Shades Of Grey, Retribution, Tales From The Hardside, Punishment and Hold My Own.

word life!

-Spacely!

Join the Ill Nation!

Our boy Tyler from Survie cooked up this little creation. This is an ellaboration on a little term us in the Ill Familia have been kicking around for quite some time. Making the statement that, once again, we can not be stopped. We refuse to slow down for anything and we're planning on taking this movement global. The "real world" is a bullshit place and we don't plan on sleeping till this everyone knows that we'll never give a fuck about it. No rest for the weary, ya dig?

-The Ill Nation Collective.

Spring Tour.

So, I figured I would write up a review of the twenty-ten west coast spring tour, but I figure I would just post a bunch of pictures and let you form your own stories. Bro Bra did not come, I was a grouchy old man, Chang sat shotgun and smoked, Peter made a bunch of smart ass jokes at my expense and Jake looked cool. Oh yeah and we brough our boy, ROAD WARRIOR TRAVIS aka The Man of One Million Questions. I hope you enjoy. Listen to Dyme Def and Love your life!

There you have it. Bip! The west coast spring tour in pictures and less words. Yibbity yibbity.
