I'm a little upset at him that he did what he did

Read that again ya'll:

I'm a little upset at him that he did what he did"

That's a quote from 19 year old Meosha Chase talking about her ex-boyfriend. Meosha, pictured at right, is estranged from the 19 year old "criminology major" and wannabee probation officer who shot and killed another 19 year old Monday night in a heated dispute over... A Playstation console.


These high school jocks are fine products of Northern California's educational system that had moved south to attend the higher learning institution known as Fresno State. Here's the school's adorable mascot.

Don't worry Fresno St students, your dreams and aspirations of pitbull like response to life's many challenges will not be crushed, your classes are still in session...

Your University President John D. Welty made the campus proud by promptly issuing a press release patting himself on the back that said things like

"Our response included relocation to campus of students displaced from their apartments during the police investigation. Sleeping accommodations and food were made available."

Ohhh, I hope it was pizza ! video gamer college kids love pizza..

According the University President:

" The University Police Department is confident that Fresno Police Department has the suspect contained and the situation under control."

That would be great if it were true...

The alleged shooter Jonquel Brooks, 19, of Hayward, as I write this, is still on the run...
WHOA...nevermind, he's turned himself in today

Fresno cops who were talking to the student via cellphone thought for awhile he was still inside University Village Apartments, where he killed one man and wounded two others. Turns out that crafty Jonquel, well trained in video game chicanery, had eluded the doltish Fresno cops, who must not be up to date in their role playing skills.

What does one expect from a child reared into a world with a name that sounds suspiciously like his mother might have been a fan of this multi purpose cleaner product from Solvex Corp






or perhaps his name is a play on a popular crab lice remedy...

Either way, Is This a Great Frickin Country or What?

I salute you both Meosha & Jonquel...star high school atheletes, and we know that jocks are the best & brightest & truly what makes this country great...

You, are both the future of this nation, and I bet you indeed made such a cute couple...

I expect big things from y'all and just know it will work out for you both in each of your future ventures!

Monday, Mayday etc

Last night I did end up catching LCD Sound System... who seemed like a mish mash of New Order and Gang of Four, I wasn't convinced to buy the Cd, but I did get the silver ink T-shirt...

In a minute I'm headed out to catch a Golden State Warrior's playoff game on TV at the cozy quasi sports bar known as the Connecticut Yankee...

and later I'm headed to that Teddybears STHLM gig I mentioned in my last post here over the weekend...

Today is of course May Day , International workers day and all that jazz

So I took the day mostly off... other than doing a lil banking & financial malarky, it being the first of the month and all... heck, I even talked to the landlord man...

But maybe ya noticed I ain't been a loyally posting blogger this month, cause most of my free time I've been busy mashing up a non paying career as a "Carto-Blographer"...

I've been building a messy multi layered map of San Francisco to create ,

Lil Mike's San Francisco Randomly Revelating Rock n Reeling Pop Cultural History Mystery Tour

A wild time traveling tour through 400 stops in the hilly city's streets with "The Wizard of Was"... You can zoom in tight on 8 pages of San Francisco maps detailing 50 sites each of little landmark locations of the city by the bay's lively music and vibrant subcultural history over the decadent decades. There's pages upon pages of info nuggets, both of dark and light varieties, served up sloppy and sweet in no particular order with ample samples of photographic evidence and occasional videos ... From the arcane to the profane. Enter @ Own Risk...... Get down and dirty and zoom in close to the layout so you can dig all the details, I've linked it up with over 400 footnotes on everything from architecture to famous arrests, historical landmarks Haight Ashbury days to Gold Rush, Punk Rock to Political Controversies... etc

click here to break the frame and see the map by itself

scroll around, visit the additional pages, and lemme know what ya think, it's work in progress of course, and I need to find a way to organize it alphabetically or something , but more on that soon...

anyhow

I'm feeling Gutterfly

well not really but ,
that's just a reference to the new Lifesavas disc on Quannum that dropped last week...

Here's the funky title track for ya, produced by the man known as Jumbo the Garbageman...
