Merry X-mas!

Hope you have a good one, my last few have been a bit weird and this one was no different. Last christmas my cat passed while i was still sleeping. It was the weakest shit ever. This year I was out kicking it until 4:30 in the morning and when i get home i realize that i left my keys at my boys house, So i had to call him over to bring the keys back over and didn't get to sleep until 5:30. Thats all. Merry X-Mas Scumbags!

Melrose window.

What the fuck am i doing sitting around LA. I have no motivation to really do anything. I sit around all day smoking bowls and i get fucked up all night on drugs and booze.

So as i sit here at 4:20 in the morning taking down nos ballons trying my damn hardest to finish writing this. i realize that theres so much i haven't seen or done. What the fuck am i doing spending my money on nothing. i have no attachments here, the only thing i wanted to do when i left my job was to travel and see what was out there. who cares what held me back, or why i didn't do it. I'm ready for this now and have some money saved up. I'm starting to plan for first trip immediately, i hate the cold and have to wait until spring springtime to get out there but plan on doing a 6 week backpacking trip in april. I just have to make it until april and with this move i know it will be all good.

I plan on waking up aroud 9 and packing my whole room into 3 boxes, more if i need to. When i finish the plan is to find my way out to a King Taco, a place i've heard many things about. I am very fond of tacos and have yet to figure out why i haven't hung out with their king.

Exposing a fake.

Ever since i moved here there's been homeless guy down of my street who is always holding a "NEED BEER" sign trying to get something to drink. He looks like he just smoked a gram of crack and needs the beer to balance the rush. I've given him plenty of dollars knowing that he was spending them on drugs or alcohol. So when i sat next to this familiar hippy on the bus the other day that was talking in a calm tone, didn't smell a bit like alcohol i would have never thought it would be the bum on the corner. Until his stop came up and i saw the NEED BEER sign stick out of his bag, He got off at Lookout Mt. which is an amazing street and mentioned something about finally getting home and taking a hot shower to the bus driver who knew him by name. So don't trust this con who probably lives in a nicer spot than you do, it's all just an act. Crescent Heights and Sunset is where he always stands. Those damn Hollywood actors.

Rustin' in Hollywood.

Today i realized that i've never posted a graffiti flick on here so here it is.

Remio Gusto - Two bay area giants going BIG on Sunset.

Movin' on Down.

Its been 2 and a half years that i've kicked it the hills. It's great up here the skys are bluer, air is cleaner and theres actually stars out at night. When i moved up here it was to get away from all the madness of the city, i got my break and then some. I will miss the canyon country store and pacé and all the dope people up here. I won't miss most of my weak ass neighbors on my street calling the cops on me and making all kinds of crazy shit up. Soon i'll be back, I don't drive so it will be nice having a bus within a walking distance of my house. Now all my peoples wont bitch about coming "up the hill" everytime they pick me up. The Canyon will greatly be missed by this scumbag.

The haps.

Rolling Stones at Dodger stadium. Good show, a ton of women. I didn't know what to think about seeing a concert at the stadium but i have to give it up to the stones. They had a 4 story screen attached to the moving stage , great sound, and finished off with fireworks. I love the stadium and could appreciate the stones so this all came together pretty good. They did a bunch of shit that i didn't know for the first 30 minutes which game me some time to get a fried dodger dog and beer. I came back to hear a bunch of old hits and smoke a few joints.

I was going to write here about the mickey avalon show at LAX but i have chosen to forget about that night. if you know me you have heard about it. if you don't, then you wont. But i decided to take a few days off to get my head together and saw Steel at their last kibitz show this year and they fucking ripped it up as always.

Last night i saw RZA at the Key Club. Small Venue, Big energy, and a legend on the stage. Shavo the bass player from System of a Down backed him up along with an full stage of kill beez. They started the set by playing sitting down and playing a game of chess and smacking down the pieces to make a beat, sick right. RZA had a bottle of grey goose that he passed into the crowd and asked back for it to take a sip right before he lit up a blunt. It was a great show and I managed to sneak my way all the way up to the front for the last few songs. He did Wu-Tang classics, Bobby Digital tracks, Kill Bill songs, and even a Gravediggaz track. Big-Up to RZA and the Wu-Tang fam.

I have a bunch of shit to write about and no time write about it. i'm trying to keep my other blog updated daily and it takes away from this one a little bit. Tonight, if you're in LA and looking for something to do make it down over to Peel Here, a sticker show with a few of my friends taking part in. Taco truck and drinks on site. Should be fun, Check the flyer below for details and as always stay scummy.

happy four twenty

Drugs = Fun.

So i go out on saturday night planning to get drizunk which i accomplish quickly at a party in westwood. We leave here and head east for some madness in downtown.

When we pull up i hear the familiar sound of a tank filling balloons with joy. I get a few more drinks in me and run straight for the tank, i take 5 to my head without ever even thinking about staying clean for a month and love every single one.

I later found my way over to a reggae party on Slauson & Rimpau that went on 'til 6 in the morning, and blowing lines until crashing on a dirty floor at a friends house in inglewood at 10am the next morning, feelin' like my good old self again.

Weekly Round-Up.

So i've come to realize that i go to way to many fucking shows to not write about it. So here's what i think of who i saw and still remember.

We begin on monday with one of the sickest shows i've ever been to. Chili Peppers at the roxy. The roxy is a 400 person venue, so i was very excited when i won these tickets. How could this get any better? Open bar! I drank all the free patrón i could and rocked the fuck out . This show was amazing, you couldn't even imagine just how wild it was. They played all their greats from all eras and ripped it up hard . Extra: If you watch the video closely you could see smoke filling the stage, guess who that is. Video from LAist.

I had a few days to rest(i think,) and came back out for my thursday ritual of seeing Steel at the Kibitz Room. The first time i saw them was a few months back with Rolo and have came back damn near every time they played since.. If you want to see some real rock come out to Safari Sams on the 24th or Kibitz on the 30th and you'll know what the fuck i'm talking about. Photo from Steel MySpace.

It's Friday, Tenacious D time. I didn't quite know what to expect of the D, Would there be any chicks there? Will the place be packed? What would they play? Before going in i sat outside smoking a few bowls and noticed the weird nerdy crowlurkingng about, these guys look like they sit at home playing warcraft all day long. But who the fuck cares. I came there to rock and when JB and KG got onto stage they made sure to do just that. They came out hard and with a kick, Complete rock opera style . I managed to come up on a pit ticket and hang front row for the show. They played all the old good shit. The new stuff is really good too. I had a great time. Photo by spartus.

Day 5.

So, it's day 5 of my drug-free lifestyle.

I've come in contact with most of the drugs I would have usually done and denied them all. I had a dream that I was blowing the other night, and I've had a ton of shit offered to me. But I still have yet to break it. One can't imagine how bad I want to get fucked up right now on anything.

25 more fucking days to go. This blows, hard.

Day 2.

Last April i was laid-off from my great studio job and i started doing graphic design for myself, with this came new hours and a lot more time to party.
I started going to shows every night, and when i turned 21 in June i was unstoppable.

I could work whenever the fuck i wanted, wake up at 2 work till 8 and go out drinking at 10, After a while this was my daily routine the only thing keeping me from being hung over or getting too drunk was the California snow. I would have a few drinks do a few bumps and just hang out at least five nights out of the week. This got to be a bit much after a month or two so i stopped, for a while.

I started messing with other drugs so i could keep partying but not become a cokehead. MDMA, Pills, Mushrooms, Acid even Heroin at times. With this came more parties, wild ass people like myself, and more real hollywood. The point of all of this is that it's been over 6 months since i've been sober for a solid week and maybe writing about it might help me take a break, at least a month without any drugs. I will keep smoking the good green herb to keep me alive through this period of my life and write about how it's going. Today is day 2, the last drug i did was coke after drinking 13 free drinks at the Roxy for a Chili Peppers show. I feel pretty good, my nose is clear and so is my head. 28 more days to go.

Ghostriding gone wrong.

Some of you might of heard of the hyphy movement, this started in Oakland and consists of acting like an idiot, dancing like a retard, and Ghostriding the Whip. This is when some idiot bumps his music and gets out of his car while leaving it in drive, it could be done solo or with other idiots. Tonight i show you what happens when ghostriding goes wrong.

This is my favorite one, it's fucking genius. I would do the same exact thing.


oh my god, did that really just happen.


This is the worst case scenario, what would E-40 think of this?

Here's more that i liked but just didn't make the cut. A Compilation, Off-Road, Experienced Ghostrider, a Bike.

Vote today!

Wherever you're at, whatever you believe in, get out there and vote! I should never be up this early, but i told a friend I'd watch her dog so here i am at 8:37 smoking vapor bags when i realize today is voting day! So now I'm still waiting for the dog, but when she gets here i think we'll be on our way to the voting booth. Peace.

Jury Duty Pt. 2

Yesterday as i walk out of the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center to take pictures around downtown for my lunch break i hear a strange noise and people start screaming. I run over to where this is happening an without knowing a thing start snapping pictures. I see a person laying on the floor face down not moving, it was 12:10pm and about 5 sheriffs were running around diverting people and traffic. everyone around is in a state of panic. it took over 4 minutes for them to cover the body up, but everyone felt the person was dead long before .

I had about 10 minutes to take pictures before i was threatened to be arrested if i didn't leave. I got about a block away and found out that someone had jumped out of the building i was in. When we got back from lunch the judge informed us that it was a woman that jumped off the 19th floor roof.

I got home and started looking into this and found absolutely nothing, even though this was on the corner of Spring and Temple at 12 o'clock. LA Times online had a tiny snippet in the morning and Met News wrote this article. I want to know whether she was a juror like me, or if she had lost a case, what if her husband just got life in jail. Do i have the right to know since i saw her laying there? Fuck jury duty. Next time I'm just not showing up.

What the fuck is jury duty, thats what i thought to myself when i first found out i had to go downtown at 7:45 on halloween.

I postponed and postponed until it finally came to the day Oct 31st, I go down to the courthouse get my badge sit down in the assembly room to see all these weird people pointing at a hot latina chick. I ask them what the fuss is about and they tell me it's Eva Longoria and everyones going crazy over it.

They excuse for break so i go grab a crossiantwich and come back to find every seat is taken except the one next to my new friend Eva. I walk up and kindly ask her to move her bag and newspaper and take the seat, at this point half of the room is staring at me now. So i start to shoot the shit with her, "Have you ever been called out before?" i ask prentending to have no clue who she is and she tells me that she it's her first time and we get into a stupid conversation about judge judy and her name gets called shorty after. She takes off and this old lady runs up to me and asks if i know "who i was talking "to like it was the coolest shit on the planet.

i'm over them. for the most part that is.

In the last two months there hasn't been a period of over 3 days where I didn't do any drugs. mostly cocaine, a lot of mdma, some acid, hippie crack, morphine, some heroin and any pharmaceutical drugs that made it my way.

so this is day four. well the beginning of five now and i'm fucking tripping harder than on any of the drugs. I have a weird withdrawals because there wasn't any specific drug that I stuck to, so between 9pm and 1am I start feeling really weird. very lightheaded almost as if I smoked a cigarette for the first time. I hope the passes some time soon, or I might just end up saying fuck it and doing drugs again.

I want to at least go a week without anything except the good green stuff. it's been fucking hard and that's kinda starting to scare me that I can't live a week of my life without doing any drugs. that means i'm addicted right. what the fuck does it mean.

A conversation i had.

Friend: but she did bring a friend who was cute but they left all of a sudden
yea both were hot
her friend had nice tits and i was like so how old are you and shes like 16 .....

LA Scumbag: hahahahahahahahah
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
SCUMBAGO!@#

Friend: dude i would have boned her in a ho second if i had the chance
half second i mean
lol ho is better tho

Lack of Posting.

I am getting a team of mega scumbags together to write for the site, we also got an editor so people could understand what smear writes.

Starting July 10th we will have a different scumbag post everyday of the week. I will have introductions for all the writers later this week.

So we have a new member joining us, a good friend of mine and soon yours.

loved by most, hated on by some, known by all.

so enjoy his ramblings because i sure do.

rock on.

ultraclay!.

Popin' the cherry.

i am the los angeles scumbag. how i got here i don't know, but i did so suck it.

what the fuck am i doing here? we'll see. so who am i... a 20yr old scumbag, not born a scumbag but turned into one by my surroundings.

maybe i'll trying smoking pot while writing, it usually helps me do most things in life so i don't see why it would fail me now.

i conquered my fear for salmon today. for the first time in 3yrs i ate the yummy fish. the last time i had salmon it ended with puke all over a friends new lexus suv, they were giving me a ride home from my cousins second birthday, today she turned five. the little ones grow so fast. i have two half brothers one is four and the other is five. today they met for the first time. i don't think they understood that they were both my brothers. but it was fucking crazy seeing them together i could see half of myself in each one of them.

alright now its 4:36am and i have to be functional in a few hours. peace
