Im drunk right now...and its close to 1 am my time....and I have to work tomorrow...
but its not a terribly serious job...I am working for Ecko/ Hurley right now...doing clothes...graphics...whatevs....lame...Hurleys kinda cool...
Im pissed at the government...Americas government...Giuliani....I wish America was ready to accept a black president...America sucks in that way....we suck republicans dicks and then they bitchslap us over and over and we keep asking for that dick in our mouth...fucking pitiful. I hate politics...so I dont have much more to say then that...my concern isnt who is gonna be the next president...I care much more for preservation...preventative measures....Americans dont think like that...
Sad. Seriously sad I tell you.
But, we all have to think of ourselves too, and on that respect I find immediate happiness. I have a job right now. Freelance. I have an even better job on the way...but its still all corporate shit. We just glaze over that. Dont we?
I am happy the weather is turning out alright. NYC has been beautiful these past few days. I have reconnected with old friends. Synchronicity is at an all time high, and a few bands appeared in my life for obvious reasons....
I have a drug test on Friday morning for my job that starts on May 7th...They are paying very well. I am happy yet still conflicted. But a year is a year and I'll take it for what its worth. Maybe two years. I'll be 32 then...still young by most peoples standards....My dad died when he was 27....in a jet plane crash...he was an Air Force pilot. Crashed in Washington in 1977. A day before I was born. Most people live til their 75...some til their 80.....I plan on hittin 100...
After my drug test I am gonna roll a huge spliff and hang with my friend Bodie...No coincidence, Bodie = Bodhi...Bodhisattva. Hes a cool dude. Lives near Philly now...got me into Doom and Stoner actually...I'll give him the credit. He's also a sick artist. He's inspiring. If I am lucky I can get my friend Gabe to hang out too...When I finally smoke pot after however many weeks, I am going to listen to Bongripper - Hippie Killer. It is fucking amazing. Maybe I will post it this weekend. They need a record label to put out their music. It is seriously quality.
I am also doing artwork for Gifts From Enola. I am very psyched that they asked me to draw an octopus graphic for their upcoming tour and a t-shirt. I will post it here when they okay it....well, life is good, even when its bad....its all part of the big picture...im okay with that...
these two albums occupy a space in time. they are different from what I usually post, but they have great meaning to me....Maybe you will find the same magic I find in them.
Peace....Tim AKA Blend77 (Blend is my old grafitti name - 77 is when I was born) its 1:18am...

ecko! yikes!! i had a meeting at ecko a few years ago after they bought zoo york and triple 5 soul. when i met with mr ecko, mother fucker was wearing a suit made out of denim. it had to have been the most retarded thing i had ever seen. i made fun of people spending 100 bucks for a tshirt futura wiped his ass with. needless to say, they were no pleased with me. and they dropped me in the middle of new jersey and "forgot" to pay for my hotel room. NO JOKE, they just fucking dropped me in the middle of nowhere. classy. haha. oh well.
Pretty soon we are all gonna get a paycheck from the same corporation, no matter what line of work. They will eat each other until there is only one.
But in the meantime, we can infiltrate them and feed on some of their profits in exchange for our skills. Paid enslavement if you will.
Fuck them all, but we still need money to survive.
Good luck with your new gig!
yeah. ecko fucking blows. the place im at is even worse, cuz its just a licensing company....
ever read Snow Crash by Neil Stephenson? There are no more states, just corporations...its seems like thats not too far off..
thanks for the good luck wishes..

hey man, nice blog.

Someone yanked "Dummy" which I keep meaning to hear...lame. Fuck it, I'm psyched about the Cansecos because, honestly, you have good enough taste that I assume that even something you post that I haven't heard of is gonna be good at the very least.
PS, that was an epically indulgent post in the best way possible.
damn, being drunk is no nice! and yea, america sucks in a lot of ways. and still, there are fragments of my dream of working for a skatemag or skatecompany as some graphic dude left in me. but as it seems, even these companys rip you off. so, what should or could be my goal in life in means of jobs? well, graphic designer/visual artist seems to be the same everywhere. and its getting worse! drugtests! fuck that! how crazy is that! well, your gonna work for thes idiots, they wont pay you enough (compared to what they take from you), they try to turn you into a dork by forbidding you to drink an smoke, then when the next ad campaign is up and the next johnny butt is knocking on their door they'll kick you in the ass. thats sick.
if you ask me, graphic dudes, actualy all cool people like you and me (i know its cheesy to call me cool, but hey, i read your blog so i must be cool, damn it!) should unite, and make the best campaign ever against these ass-off-ripping sons of money cows! and we should make our own clothes, not made by children, sell it for what it realy costs, and so on... pretty good idea, right? maybe not. i stink. thanks for the nice music though. i appreciate that very much. some recomondations on post- or stoner-rock would be nice sometime soon.
hey people...i havent been drunk for the past few weeks. i was fine the next morning... ^_^
i love that my rant has provoked conversation. when i have some more juice in me (figuratively and literally) i will drop some more rant....
my job started yesterday. while it is corporate as all get out, they pay me far more than i believe the work is worth. so no complaints on that end...i still want to be a successful artist in my own right, but that damn laziness keeps creeping up.... labor sucks creativity...though sometimes it helps it...i dunno...this needs a whole new post...i feel a rant coming on with heavy philosphical overtones...but it has to wait until tonite as i have a 3 hour meeting in 15 minutes...
i will try to get dummy up again, and i have a few more things i was gonna put up last night but i watched cool hand luke instead...
"sometimes nothing is a real cool hand"
peace.
