Home Sweet & Sour Home

First off, I’m glad to be back home. Home being the outskirts of Hamburg Germany the last years. Before that, was Mannheim Germany and before that was Munich (nineties).

Wifey’s on vacation too so she’s got time to just hang out and that’s a nice thing as well. Since our dude dog died almost 2 weeks ago, it’s been really lame energy around here. Now that I’m back I hope I’m should be able to distract the girls (wifey & chick dog) from some all of that mutual sadness and brighten things up a bit around here.

First thing I have to do is get on the TIME man! It’s so easy to let jet lag get the best of you if you don’t get right on the local schedule. I stayed up until 6am last night and forced myself to wake up 4 hours later. Hopefully that jolts me on the time frame. We’ll see how dead I feel later today.

Not long after being home again or arriving fresh in the United States, I always pick out the little things that one continent has better than the other. You know, the grass is always greener (or stronger) on the other side of the fence. Something like that. Anyway, today’s difference is the Mayonnaise.

Mayonnaise

I know, seems like a small gripe. Sure. BUT after years of questioning why the heck the Europeans can’t master this stuff is beyond me. Even worse, the capitalistic US of A hasn’t managed to strike a deal with fukn Aldi or some other food giant around here? I’m telling you…a fortune lies in that arrangement for sure, ha!

I’m sure to come up with other puny reasons to miss America. Of course a big reason is echophonics! My new band. Fresh together, a couple very good gigs under our belt, a game plan and some natural chemistry together. Ja, ja…I had to muck things up by going home. 🙁 Of course the plane ticket was booked before the band even existed but still sucky timing all around.

It’s just a matter of time before everything comes together. I’m quite certain of that. Hang around and find out what happens…

Cheers!

(Re: Transfer of $28,000,000.00)
(Twenty Eight Million USD)
Good Day,
I am Mr Ibrahim Ahmed,the Senior & Auditor General of a Bank, during the course of our auditing, I discovered a floating fund in an account opened in the bank in 2000 and since 2003 nobody has operated on this account again.

After going through some old files in the records I discovered that the owner of the account died without a [heir] hence the money is floating and if I do not remit this money out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing.

The owner of this account is a foreigner, a miner and an industrialist. He made millions of dollars before he died victoriously .Since DEC 26 2003 and no other person knows about this account or any thing concerning it.

My investigation proved to me that the account has no other beneficiary and that until his death he was the manager director of aluminium & steel industries (PTY) We will start the transfer with the total sum involved (twenty eight million dollars)[$28,000,000.00 only, into your account, as a safe foreigners bank account abroad, but I don’t know any foreigner abroad that’s why I have contacted you to bear the legal sole beneficiary of the fund.

I am revealing this to you with believe in God that you will never let me down in this business. Also send your private telephone number and fax number including the full details of the account to be used for the deposit. I need your strong assurance that you will never let me down in this business proposition.With my influence and the position in the bank, as an official whom is working in our favour we can transfer this money to any foreigner’s be intact pending my physical arrival in your country for sharing.

The bank official will destroy all documents of transaction immediately you receive this fund leaving and they will be no trace to any place and to build confidence you can wrote immediately to discuss with me the modalities,after I will make this remittance in your presented account and fix my resign date, to fly down to your country at least 7 days ahead of the fund transferred and confirm into the account.

At the conclusion of this business, you will be given 35% of the total amount, 50% will be for me, while 15% will be for expenses might have incurred during the process of transferring.
{Best Regards}.

“I Feel Good” Live At Go Topless Day 2009

Considering there were so many people participating and watching Go Topless Day 2009, it’s amazing how little content we’re finding online so far. Perhaps things are just starting to come out of the wood work? We’ll see. I’ve already had my clip banned by YouTube so it’s certainly possible others have as well. I wonder what YouTube and Google have against women having the right to bare their chests?

Anyway, although just about anyone can watch this clip of course, I made it with you in mind because you weren’t there. It’s trashy as hell visually but the audio’s not bad at all. It came from someone’s camera.




If YouTube decides to be conservative censors again, watch the clip on VIMEO.

Banned By YouTube

Okay, I’m not stoopid. 🙂 Seriously though, I’m a bit shocked at this latest display of American conservatism. What TF? Watch the clip for yourself however someone let me know in a comment what the problem is here. Or am I completely missing something?

This was an email I received today. Funny enough, I’d just checked the view count on the clip in question yesterday and was quite pleased with how many folks stopped by to check it out. Then, some 16 hours later I get this with “!!!” in the priority field. I was like, “Ah oh! What have I done now?”

_yt ban

Sad thing is the video (on youtube) was just about to reach the 3K views marker. Oh well, thank Goddess other major video distributors aren’t so uptight OR at least give you, as a consenting adult, the option to view what some lame asses have a problem with, in turn ruining it for everyone else.

_yt ban2

For those that missed the clip, here it is again. And from this distributor at the time of writing this post the video has been viewed over 3000 times from this site.

Thanks for not being a conservative party pooper and having an open mind.
Cheers!

RIP Buccy 1996-2009

Yesterday, last night and this morning all are a time I’ll likely never forget. I spent hours online watching the passing of our dog Buccy. Sure, everyone says they have had the best pet anyone could have but it’s simple the truth when we (Susanne) and I say it. Buccy, you rule. I miss you already.

"Buccy" The best boy dog around!

Saying goodbye was particularly hard for me since I could only witness it via a Skype (video) call since I am still in USA and my family (Susanne, Buccy, Bonnie) are all in Germany. Watching the Vet arrive and seeing how Buccy ‘seemed’ to be psyched to see him carrying the large syringe with the deadly sleeping solution in it. No joke, he seemed to know what was coming and relieved that it was finally time.

Though it was definitely NOT the time for me, as I was hoping he’d wait for me to get home in another week or so, I feel good knowing that Buccy was ready to go. It was a peaceful experience that wasn’t hectic, nor rushed and several visitors came by during the course of the day to say goodbye. Since we have a 9 hour difference, I found myself saying those final goodbyes somewhere between 4AM and 6AM. Needless to say, I haven’t had a nights sleep yet at the time of writing this entry.

Me and my best 4-legged friend.
Me and my best 4-legged friend.

Bonnie, our other dog and Buccy’s life-partner, survives him and like many old ladies, is in better shape than he was. He died at 14 years old. That’s an old dog. Bonnie is 10 or 11 I believe. Super fit, active, generally happy-go-lucky. It’ll be interesting to see how she deals with all this over the next days and weeks. I hope she doesn’t let herself go in to any sort of negative down spiral as there’s no reason she isn’t around another few years. I’d be happy to spend them with her!

Bonnie

In closing, I must say how proud I am of Susanne that she dealt with the situation in a wonderful way and stayed strong and positive for Buccy. Animals sense peoples energy as we all know. It was important for me that Buccy not spend his last hours around crying and wining energy. Though difficult, also for me over the internet, we all managed to save the big tears until after his heart ceased to beat any longer.

Thanks babe, I love you for that.

The dynamic duo.

The Double D’s Talk Topless

Since we’ve been asked a few times already about the National Go Topless Day event coming up this weekend on Sunday the 23rd of August, we decided to do an official interview of sorts letting our friends know what the deal is and why the hell we’re a part of the deal in the first place.

New UTV Studio For 2010

UTV|Underground Television Network will make a new studio move for 2010 to the lovely Los Angeles area called Eagle Rock. There, we’ve been invited to join the artist community Bedrock Studios, which is a big facility chopped up into many small studios and spaces for artistic uses.

[book id=’2′ /]

We’re looking at starting a production there in December this year, latest January. Look for new episodes of Cartunes as an early release from the new studio location.

The funniest thing about the space are the couches. Some of you (younger folks) may recognize them from the set of Hannah Montana’s show. Yeah, we stole ’em. Look for more interesting gear once we get things underway there!

Rawk on…

Me and StyleTV

Finally got to work with Erin Bridges again on the StyleTV show. She’s been quite out of the loop as of late and before that I found myself preoccupied with a wine company’s marketing efforts essentially putting personal projects to the side.

Now having more and more time since work is slow I’m able to focus on those projects again and that’s one of the positive things about being jobless, LOL!

Erins next show covers her recent trip to Wisconsin, from where the seemingly California girl hails from. Always funny and attractive, Erin Bridges promises to deliver an entertaining escape from your daily internet humdrum.
