San Diego is crazy. Since I’ve moved here I have been through three earthquakes, the Hilton right down the street from me blew up, I’ve been surrounded by wildfires, and now fighter jets are falling from the sky. Google says that it’s about 12 miles away, so Michael, Lou, and I are okay. But I feel for those people and hope they were out shopping or working. The houses in that area look relatively nice, so if they come home to this, I feel for their loss… and may the big, fat gubamint check you get somehow compensate!

Well, our national economy is collapsing by the minute, my bank was chopped up and sold for parts, and Lou has a rash, but beyond that I have gone ahead and created a whole new format for my online apparel and art company. After weeks and weeks of later and later nights of hard and harder work I have finally revamped and relaunched the No Good Designs website as NoGoodz into a new online periodical (or ezine) where I will detail all that I find interesting within this rich tapestry of cultural, creative, culinary, and down right crazy influences that make up this world I call home.

Each week I will be spending my nights writing articles on all of the amazing artists I have had the pleasure to meet (or atleast see their work), all the great shops and restaurants that I have frequented in my travels, and all of the amazingly out-there things I have found all over the internet. So far I have suped the site up with a full compliment of articles, a new shop, a newsletter, a social network, a Facebook and Myspace page, and it’s own Twitter feed. My hopes are that through the releasing of new shirts and pins each week, drumming up interest by drumming out interesting articles, and filling the empty spaces with ads from Google and the like (hint, hint: click some ads people) I will be able to grow this site into a feasible form of passive revenue that will help stave off the growing bills from buying Lou food and toys. You heard me people, I’m telling you to love my new site and fall prey to it’s commercialist whiles so that Lou can be a happier pup. How can you resist?

I will keep this site up and running, albeit slightly less frequent then usual, and move some of my more interesting finds onto the pages of NoGoodz. Come and read and join and enjoy.

Oh, and the NoGoodz Network has…

It’s been a few weeks since I got a chance to steal away and do a little blog here and a blog there. I have been very, very busy churning out the websites… I’m even starting my own webzine for my clothing company NO GOOD, which I am very psyched about. I fear that it may take away from my blogging up at this spot, but it’ll be worth if it helps rake in the millions.

First and foremost I am very happy to say that Michael and I have joined a cult. Just kidding, but we might as wel have. We met through someone who was trying to hook up with someone else and that someone was standing near some one who needed a cigarette a whole troupe of new friends that Michael and I just adore. Liseth, Joseph, and Jimmy (ladies first, but with these three it’s a toss up) are our new pals… they hail from the Northeast as well and are such a scream! We love them, they love us, it’s all love and that’s great. I’m so happy to have a pile of people I can call “motherfukers” to their faces and they don’t flinch an inch, cuz over here in the Southest Westest motherfukers are just too sensitive. For reals.

Other than that I had to do a little stock photo research for a client, and if anyone has been an avid reader of this blog (all two of you) then you know I love to highlight the weirdest and oddest of the randomness that comes out of my searches. So without further ado, another installment of Stocking Mad, an expose on the crazy stuff photographers think people will pay money to use. This time I searched for “women clothes shopping”… enjoy!

To start, we have Pam Anderson’s Scary Drag Brother

“Mmmm…I love the smell of Polka Dots”

“Headlights on? Check.”

>>Security Manne-Bot 001 in pursuit of thief! BEEP!<<

>> “Stop or Scary Scary Manne-bot will shoot laser eye beams!…”<<

Remember when Harrison Ford was frozen in Corbomite in Return of the Jedi? This was the back. The crack back.

“Did someone say ‘Crack’?!”

Just one link to get you through…
