Thanks to my man on the inside and a forthcoming check from the United States Treasury, I was able to procure myself another bicycle.












Right out the box I "chopped and flopped" the bars & added a brake:




Also switched it from fixed mode to single speed mode...




I like it! I'm still getting used to it, but it's tons o fun...

CLOUDDEAD






Three artists, ignoring the rules and doing what comes naturally without care to style or sales, cLOUDDEAD is the avant hip-hop coalition of Doseone, why?, and odd nosdam. Their schizophrenic compositions, uninhibited vocal stylings, ambient soundscapes, and polished live show have both impressed and baffled. Life Sucks Die has said their work is "as close as you can get to a description of what doing whippets sounds like." Skater kids claim them as one of their own. Indie kids hear rock's future in their music. Hip-hop heads debate is it or isn't it, and all the while cLOUDDEAD blazes forward without a map or a care. Not just a meeting of the minds, but a blending of three individuals into a new entity, cLOUDDEAD is Mush's most abstract experiment of word and sound.

Clarks Wallabees

To understand Clarks Wallabees-first meet the Clarks Desert Boot




Clarks Wallabees trace roots back to Nathan Clark, the great-grandson of a founding Clark brother, who introduced the original Clark Desert Boot in 1950. This boot-like shoe was vastly different from any preceding Clarks' shoe. To quote Nathan Clark himself, "I got the idea from crepe-soled rough suede boots which officers in the Eighth Army were in the habit of getting made in the Bazaar at Cairo. 1" While the boot generated large volume orders after its introduction at the 1950 Chicago Shoe Fair, they were ultimately, not deemed fashionable by U.S. consumers and found a cult following among generations later called Beatniks. Meanwhile, in Europe, Clarks Desert Boots became widely revered as a basic and comfortable boot with an attitude. Because of this, they quickly gained fame and appreciation around the world. Over time, they have bound rock stars, athletes, politicians, environmentalists and suburbanites together by what they have simply chosen to wear against the soles of their feet! Literally, as many sport them with bare feet.

What makes them unique?

Look to the 1960's and you find the metamorphosis of classic Clark Desert Boots to what might be the world's first comfort shoe, dubbed the Clark Wallabee. In 1965, Lance Clark1 introduced a simple, yet revolutionary leather moccasin built on the traditional Clarks' naturally formed, crepe sole that allows the wearer's toes to spread and feet to flex naturally. The inside is an EVA foot bed with a leather sock liner that, whether worn bare foot or in sock feet, will keep feet comfortable and dry1. The inside sole quickly takes the shape of its wearer, memorizing it and becoming a personalized pair of moccasin-like shoes. Like its predecessor, Clarks Wallabees became a classic. A later modernization came with the introduction of Clarks Desert Treks in 1974, when the oil crisis had many people walking.

What do Clarks Wallabees followers have or not have in common?
Ultimately, people around the world have always been in pursuit of a shoe that brings comfort, and more importantly, understated and universal style. In an effort to further spread Clarks Wallabees appeal around the world, Lance Clark1 introduced them in France where they were affectionately dubbed, 'Les Clarks' by generations of youth from the 1950s to present while American youth were wearing saddle loafers or cloth high-tops. In the 1980s, the paninare or Italian preppies wore the Wallabee as their shoe of choice, again while American preppies were wearing uncomfortable penny loafers. School uniform codes in the U.K. have called for Clarks Wallabees or similar shoes for decades now. So, what do they all have or not have in common? Europeans knew that comfort and oddity could also mean style while Americans thought that style was important enough to sacrifice comfort. Hmmm, whose feet would you rather have at the end of the day?

YOU make the shoe

With the new millennium, the full Clarks Originals line has newfound interest as a new generation rediscovers the same shoes and boots generations before them wore and loved. The full line, priced between $95 USD and $120 USD includes The Clarks Desert Boot, Clarks Wallabee Boot, Clarks Wallabee Oxford and Clarks Desert Trek. You can spot them on CD covers, designer runways, in fashion magazines and on musicians, starlets, politicians and even your neighbor! Among such trendsetters, there is deep appreciation for new color and pattern introductions to the Clarks Originals collection, which now include all-black crepe soles with all-black, smooth leather uppers or Desert Treks for women which are covered with multi-color ribbon and simply called "Treks Ribbon".

Who's who of Clarks Wallabee wearers

Steve McQueen was onto something when he wore them in The Great Escape. Jason Lee stated about his basic wardrobe, "And I love Clarks Wallabees. 2" Look to the cover of The Verve's Urban Hymns and you'll see Richard Ashcroft sporting a pair of Clarks with the word "Cool" stamped over the Clarks logo. Even Wu-Tang Clan and Gallagher boys are wearing them, proving they are worthy of transporting a rock or movie star into coolness...so, what are you waiting for, ditch your Crocs or Birkenstocks for a pair of Clarks Wallabees. After all, ugly just went chic!

Interested?

1. Choose from: Black or brown leather, tan suede or full color
* Black leather is not deemed the most attractive, but being different can make a statement and work to your advantage
* Brown leather is somewhere in between being a trendsetter with the black or ultra-conservative with...
* Tan suede is the classic, first color created, and also perhaps the most conservative choice
* If a lack of choices leaves you feeling dull and expressionless, full color choices are now available, especially among women's versionsSelect from: Low-top or high-top
* Low-tops are a classic choice, but also mean you may "show a little sock"
* High-tops are preferred most for pants wearers. Warning: Shorts, plus Wallabee high-tops are not deemed cool anywhere in the world!
2. Call 800-4clarks to order or view online catalog at www.clarkswallabees.com.



Clarks' new mantra for the millennium summarizes it all: original, versatile, authentic and understated. You might say that the timing of Clarks Originals return to the fashion forefront is perfect as we head into an age where fashion is often more about comfort, universal appeal and going with your own style. Afraid all this might lead to just another new hyper-trend? Rest assured, Clarks Originals remain virtually unchanged from their original creation meaning despite a lack of broach fashionable appeal, they will always have a sort of cult following and will always be comfortable...just like comfort food for your feet!

Fuel Frog

Tracking your fuel economy just got a little easier. FuelFrog is a new website with a simple and easy to use layout. Input your data - miles since last fill-up, gallons, price - and the site will calculate your vehicles efficiency and display it all in a nice little line graph and in detailed form. The site helps you view trends for the amount you spend on gas, see how gas prices change in your area over time and helps you gain insight into how your car's fuel efficiency changes.







You can see the Triumph is doing pretty well, pulling me around with 45 mpg. The truck... well, lets just say 14 mpg is a good day.

The site is still in its infancy and they are making upgrades constantly. At the moment they are working on adding the ability to track multiple vehicles on a single chart and are working on adding the ability to see your efficiency versus other users.

Will this site save you gas? No. Not directly at least, but the more aware we are, the more we will consciously make changes in our driving habits. For example, i was pulling around 11 mpg in the truck driving like normal. When i took a full tank and strictly drove the speed limit, i got it up to 14 mpg. That doesn't sound like much, but thats a 22% increase. Assuming (all things being equal) i rode the Scrambler at the posted limits (i don't), and i'd be pulling 55 mpg! Damn... maybe i should slow the bike down.

Rebirth of the Mix Tape

The mix tape left us many years ago when household and computer based CD players gained the ability to burn CDs. Then came the iPod, iTunes and the internet and the mix tape's fate was sealed. But the mix tape was an art form. John Cusack summed it up in High Fidelity: "The making of a great compilation tape is hard to do and takes ages longer than it might seem. You gotta kick off with a killer, to grab attention. Then you got to take it up a notch, but you don't wanna blow your wad, so then you got to cool it off a notch. There are a lot of rules." There was even the subtle art of making sure that you didn't leave too much dead space at the end of either side... The case, the case bacame your canvas. Sure, you had to list the bands and songs on there, but it was *how* you wrote it down that made it unique.

While we may never see true mix tapes again(honestly, who even has a functioning tape player anymore?)we can relive the experience. Suck UK has released the Mix Tape USB Stick. The USB memory stick housed in a cassette case! So find that girl of your dreams and make her the mixtape you would have made her if we were back in High School!

Girls like stuff that is shiny

... apparently so do Saudis. In the land of sand and black gold everyone owns a supercar. When everyone drives a "regular" M3, AMG, or XKR as their beater, you need to go above and beyond to stand out in the crowd.

As Nicholas Cage put it in Gone in 60 Seconds:
Memphis: (pointing to a Ferrari 360)...But, you know, this is the one. Yes, yes yes... I saw three of these parked outside the local Starbucks this morning, which tells me only one thing. There's too many self-indulgent wieners in this city with too much bloody money!

So how does the self-indulgent wiener stand out in the land where a full 20% of all Bugati Veyrons are in Dubai alone? Well if you were looking for a Veyron you could pick up one of their "Special Editions". There is the Pur Sang, the Fbg by Hermes, the Targa, or the Sang Noir. For one enterprising Saudi, however, just buying a stock car, regardless of how exclusive, isn't enough. Not to mention no matter how much you wax that paint job, well, its just not shinny enough.

The answer? Chrome a brand new Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano. I can't imagine how horrible it must be to drive this car in the full sun of the average Middle Eastern day. My guess is that he only drives it at night and with the hopes that the ladies go for it. After all, a guy needs any advantage he can get in a place where the girl/guy ratio is somewhere around 1:3.

BBBBBBQ UPDATE #4

"Look, there, just beyond the horizon."
"A great storm is fast-approaching! Quick Edna, grab the children, and head to the cellar." "Pa, you better tie the horses down, it looks like it might be a doozy"

This is a famous scene from a fictitious film I just made up, but i feel like it encapsulates the spirit and energy that is surrounding this years BBBBBBQ. My taste buds are tingling and my loins are burning with anticipation. Beers are on ice, steaks are marinating and yes, t-shirts are being printed while you read this. This is what i like to refer to as the calm before the storm.
I get accosted on the streets daily by strangers eager to participate:
"Hey dude, your that barbecue dude, right? Hey man, can i com....."
"WHOA Buddy! Let me stop you right there, Amigo (said in obviously sarcastic tone). First of all, I wouldn't be caught dead with you at my "barbecue" (air quotes), and second, the mere fact that you refer to it as simply a barbecue shows your lack of respect. Scram before we start throwing hands and I sock you one!"
"Well, can i at least buy a t-shirt"
"I scoff at you"
"C'mon man! I'll suck your dickkkk...."

Its quite awkward actually, especially when it happens at work.

So you, my friends, are the lucky ones, the chosen few, the brave frontiers men about to go where only a handful of you have been before, annually, over the previous three years. god speed.

As I stare at the sand passing through the hour glass, I can't help but wonder, "What if this BBBBBBQ is not the bestest of the bestestest BBBBBBQ's ever. well, good grief, what on earth would i do". I know you dont want to disappoint me, or hear me talk like an 80 year old grandmother, so here is what i propose:

1. All BBBBBBQ attendees must get no less than 10 hours of sleep the night before. i want all of you on your A-games and well rested. This also means no whoopee. If it works for athletes, it will work for you.

2. Bring something to eat. Pretty self explanatory. bring enough for yourself AND some for others as well. just like in kindergarten. dont like meat? well suck it up pussy! no, i kid. bring some vegetables then. i would be really stoked if people made some stuff. I may make macaroni and cheese. Maybe, dont hold me to it, but I'm almost putting some sort of half-assed effort into it, kinda.....that's called setting an example. follow my lead.

3. Beer. Maybe you have heard of a lil' sumpin called Natty Boh? its delicious, satisfying, it cleanses the palette, and it costs like $5 for a 60 pack.

4. Jazz Cigarettes. The Devils Lettuce. If you know what these things are then you are at the right place.

5. Bring $4. This will cover the cost of the t-shirt. my original intention was to skip around and sprinkle tees on everyone like some sort of gay Johnny Appleseed but they ended up being a little bit more than i anticipated. but honestly, 4 bucks...you just spent 4 bucks while reading this, dont ask me how, but you just did. if you dont have 4 bucks dont sweat it, you can still have one, but you will be sentenced to a barrage of "your momma so poor jokes" for the entire afternoon.

So, that about covers it. JUNE 21st. Rain or Shine. If it rains we'll just use a pair of Jon's moms underpants as a tent! Awwwwww....I know you didn't.

Wally 101

The Clarks Wallabee has been a staple of fashion and comfort since it’s introduction in 1965. Each generation since has adopted its minimalist silhouette and smooth lines as their own. It is considered the world’s first comfort shoe, a boot specifically designed with the shape and fall of the foot in mind. From flower toting hippies to hip-hop moguls, the shoe’s sophistication continues to be praised and flaunted. And to think it was almost called the Grasshopper.

The hallowed ground of this shoe’s beginning is Walheim, a town in former West Germany. Here in the early 1960s, a shoe company named Sioux Schuhfabrikem developed a moccasin-type boot that caught the eye of Lance Clark, the then Export Manager for Clarks Overseas Shoes in Europe and the great-great-great-grandson of Cyrus Clark, the founder of Clarks Shoes back in 1825. Clark negotiated a deal with the company to allow Clarks to manufacture the shoe, called the Grasshopper. The specifications and patterns for the Grasshopper were sent to the Clarks Company Padmore and Barnes factory in Ireland (Padmore and Barnes was under Clarks ownership from 1957 until 1987 and did most of their UK manufacturing during that time). In exchange for the design, Sioux Schuhfabrikem would collect royalties.



The beginning of the Wallabee was a rough one. Then still called the Grasshopper (most likely the problem), the shoe was first pushed out in Britain and Ireland to a resounding flop. No one was buying Grasshoppers. A part of the problem was that this new model shoe was still in the shadow of another Clarks juggernaut, the Desert Boot (released in 1950). The fact that this newer model (the Grasshopper) featured unseen innovation, like what is called a nature-formed last—the mold of the shoe is created around the shape of your foot and allows for comfortable toe spread—and that the crape sole was now being vulcanized to the leather instead of glued, didn’t seem to catch anyone’s fancy. Much to the disappointment of the Clark family, it seemed the Grasshopper was a failure.

In a last ditch effort the shoe was marketed to America in 1967. Clark ran into issues immediately in trying to bring the shoe Stateside. The name “Grasshopper” was already registered at that time. While one can only speculate that it had something to do with all of his trans-Atlantic flights, Lance Clark came up with the name Wallabee. Almost instantly, the shoe was a hit.

The first years in America set the tone of shoe forever. Both sides of the Vietnam War, for and against, found themselves gravitating toward the Wallabee. First and foremost, the comfort was supreme. The crape sole, or cheese bottoms as their called in Jamaica, cushioned like nothing else offered. There was the Clarks Desert Boot, which had been in the country for some time at this point, but the Desert Boot only offered about a half inch of “cheese” on its sole. The heel on the original wallys was over an inch thick in places. Then there was the stitching. The curved lip could be dressed up and formal, therefore appealing to the more traditional folks. But its simplicity could also be seen as rugged, a modern moccasin for the young. In addition, the leather and/or suede styles were easily dyed and allowed for customization, something that is still happening today. This ability to suffice an entire spectrum of ideals and fashion sense is where the Wallabee excelled. But the side that most likely made the shoe the most visible was the anti-war movement. Flower power and wallys seemed to go together like bread and butter. And before you know it, shoe sales picked up in Britain and Ireland. By the mid-1970s, Italy and France were boasting some of the largest sales. Then in the late ‘80s another resurgence happened here in America.


Most of my generation (eighties babies) was introduced to the wally through hip-hop. The likes of the Wu-Tang Clan (specifically Ghostface Killah), Nas, and Digable Planets all bragged on their crape-soled Clarks. It conveyed a knowledge only a few seemed to know about. At the time, the shoes anyone cared about were limited to three or four brands: Nike, Reebok, Adidas, Puma. You would mention wanting Clarks for your birthday or Christmas and your parents would respond, “Aren’t those old-man shoes?” or “You about to work in a nursing home?” The fact was Wallabees were preppy yet brawny, sophisticated and ruffianly. Worn with a pair of baggy jeans, they were eye-catching, almost out of place. Hip-hop is hard. Hip-hop is playing basketball in Timberlands. But the wally conveyed the ruggedness of a Timbo with the comfort of a casual shoe. A contradiction in shoe form that fit perfect with the contradiction that is hip-hop.




Now-a-days, the wally can still be seen on all walks of life and fashion. From the hipster’s dingy tan suede pair to the crispy-clean brown leather pair worn by some big wig on weekend vacation in the Hamptons. From West Germany to Staten Island, the Wallabee continues to bring an individual design and supreme comfort to all walks of life. Let’s hope it never stops.

BBBBBBQ Update #3

Hello Pals,

Today I received the following email from Mr. Patrick Kelley:

"are we having a bbbbbbbbq?"

Why No, Patrick, we are not having a bbbbbbbbq, we are having a BBBBBBQ. Your bbq has 2 extra b's in it, which i assume stand for bogus and bad time. Apparently Patrick didnt read any of my previous emails, which is odd, since he replied to one.
So, since some of you could not understand my writing, let me reiterate.
YES, WE ARE HAVING A BBBBBBQ. It will be on June 21st, 2008. At Jon's house. Sheeeesh....

Ive been working on scheduling and event planning and so far it looks something like this:

10am- Registration and Meet-n-Greet, followed by a continental breakfast
11am- Commencement Speech by Former Mayor Kurt Schmoke
11am- "The Tapping of the Keg Ceremony" (similar to the the first pitch in baseball) featuring Sisqo
12pm- Grillin', Eatin', Drinkin' (this will continue throughout the day)
1pm- The lighting of the first Blunt (sponsored by M&T bank)
2pm- Jon Waters will be reciting passages from Edgar Alan Poe's "The Raven"
3pm- The cast of Hairspray will be making a short appearance, and will perform a scene from their Tony Award winning play.
4pm- The lighting of the second Blunt
5pm- The lighting of the third Blunt
7pm- Ray Lewis face-painting and craft table hour
8pm- The running of the rats
9pm- Potato Sack Races (sponsored by UTZ crab chips)
10pm- Frank Zappa will be on the mainstage playing a cover of "Cotton Eye Joe"
11pm- "Meet the O's" featuring Larry Sheets and Joe Orsulak
12pm- The Natty Boh Power Hour

As you can see, we have quite a day planned, and this is only the tip of the iceberg. Make sure you get there early, because parking will be limited. Also you may want to bring blankets and/or lawn chairs.

Have you ever been to the HFStival? Lollapalooza? Oz-Fest? The Warped Tour? Woodstock? Burning Man? Well, this is going to be exactly like none of those.
