Discovering New Species City By City

I would like to consider myself as a wordly traveler. An individual that has seen many things, many, many things in this world. Most things that the normal man would never see in about 13 or 12 lifetimes. Well, let me tell you about a discovery in which i found myself baffled at my own findings. The city, Portland Oregon. The habitat, Laughing Horse Bookstore. I managed to stumbled upon a rare breed of something than only be classified by it's given birth name... "The Mer-Man-DUH" (name slightly altered due to slander issues) The Mer-Man-DUH in it's natural environment looks something like a cross between a duckbilled platipus
and an over weight-weight midget stripper.
Add some braces and a bad attitude and there you have it... The Mer-Man-DUH.
So, let me just start off by saying that i am NOT a rocket scientist. I'm not even that smart, but there are things that I do know. I do know how to take down and skin a bear with my bare hands (no pun intended) if needed. I also know that if you classify yourself as something, like for example, a doctor, a pilot or even perhaps a PROMOTER... you are expected to act accordingly to your title. As a Doctor, you should prolly know what you are doing, JUST IN CASE someone actually depended on you to do something that doctors do. Same with being a pilot and a promoter.
As a promoter, you are expected to do one thing... PROMOTE the event you are hosting. Let me tell you Mer-Man-DUH's theory behind promoting... it does nothing... nothing that actually involves promoting anyway. To put it in the words of my good man, PJ (Portland Jake) he said, "If you are the promoter and you show up to a show and no one is here, what do you do? Start calling everyone you know to try and get them to come out? Or do you grab a Mike's hard lemonade and get fatter and uglier?" I am guessing that you already know what the mermanduh did. She looks like an unfortunate accident between a baby seal cub and jellyfish. I don't think you need pictures in helping you form that mental image.
Anyway. This blog post is random, scattered and makes little sense. I pretty much only made this entry to welcome MERMANDUH into the world of YOUSTUPID! and to post THIS picture.
Well, I hope you enjoy. Everyone be safe.

TGIF! SETTING GOALS!

As I sit and rot away in my cubicle on this fine Friday morning in Bellevue, Washington. I can not help but start thinking about life, love, shooting bald eagles and everything between. Last night someone asked me what my goals were, hinting that my current situation is bullshit, I replied to them that my first and foremost goal was to fight a tiger. Not only fight a tiger, but also win the fight.
I was looked at like I was a complete rubert. Let me tell you exactly how this would benefit my life. After I merked on this little ti-ti, I'd have his paw cut off and fashioned into a necklace.
I would then wear this tiger paw everywhere (it's a damn good thing that tiger fur/pattern is the hot shit right now and matches everything from Jordans, Uggz boots, and flannel) Everyone would know what a true bad ass I am due to the tiger paw around my neck. I would be subject to special treatment like, free coffee, would never have to wait in a line again, most girls would blow me upon first glimpse, etc. So, you're telling me I don't have goals and/or want to better my life? pssssh. I think it's you that doesn't see the big picture.

Fan Mail!

So, this was a message I received last week on my face book. Basically what happened was, I saw this girl's profile pop up in my "People you might know" queue on Facebook. I have never spoken to this girl and only recall seeing her a small hand full of times over the last few years. I do remember that one time I saw her wearing a sick ass Life Of Agony shirt like 2 years ago and figured I would ask her if I could buy it off her. Her profile was private, so I couldn't message her with out adding her. I figured since we had a bunch of mutual friends, I'd just go ahead and send the friend request. That was in the beginning of January. In February, I n oticed the request was still pending, so I canceled it. About a month AFTER the request had been canceled, I get this message in my box.

I find it incredibly offensive and disheartening that you either don't remember or think I won't care that you have treated me, and people I love and respect like complete trash in the past. If you want to add me on some internet bullshit, after insulting me to my face, and taking advantage of and harming people I care about... you are either so arrogant that you think I'll just forget, or so delusional that you don't even care to acknowledge or remember the people you treat like trash. I don't want to join the Mathew fan club... if you want to be my "friend" you should really consider being accountable for your actions, and apologizing for deliberately disrespecting me after I have done no harm to you.

whait? what have i done? i tried to add you because i wanted to know if i could purchase that life of agony shirt i saw you wear a long time ago.

a. I don't own a life of agony shirt, perhaps you were thinking of my roommate? and b. you have repeatedly insulted me, and some of my close friends since I was about 15 years old... glad you can remember when you treat people like trash. I don't really give that much of a fuck, but I definitely don't see us ever being friends. End of story.

Matthew March 9 at 8:37am
what? you're right, I don't remember.

Haha. I couldn't help but laugh at this. Guess I can't please everyone... not even the people that may/may not be Gary-Busey-status-crazy.

This is Slim and I approved this message.

UPDATES! UPDATES!

Okay, so it has been a long time since there was any kind of rational in depth update on anything to do with the band, Ill Intent. Well, for those that care... we are still a band! We are still a band and we are still doing things! We have the release of a record coming out sometime in the near future, just working some minor details out right now.
You can here 3 of those new songs here
ILL INTENT MYSPACE! (The lyrics to those 3 new jammers are also posted)
Got a pretty decent West Coast Tour coming up in a few weeks with the, band Nothing To Nothing in which we are pretty excited for. We have some plans coming up this Spring. Releasing the album, partying while we're still living, releasing new merch, filming a music video, playing rainfest and hitting the road as much as we can.
I have been back from NYC since Christmas, but have not had a functioning computer or a whole lot of time to really update this thing like before, but rest in knowing that we are still living hard. Lots of prank calls are being made, lots of jobs are being worked, lots of advice is being given and people are hating us for it. Maybe I should go back to documenting it like before. Who knows?

See you in the future.
