Colliding On Purpose

If you're in LA you should definitely check out Sonny Kay's art exhibit which opens on January 3rd.


His digital collages remind me of Storm Thorgerson, who has done album covers for bands like Muse, Pink Floyd, The Mars Volta, etc...

Goodbye my friend it's hard to die... :(

Legend. Night ntarter. Breakfast of champions... my beloved friend Sparks, has ended it's run.


Words cannot describe how i feel... so, i present you with the saddest song i know of...



"As part of the agreement across 14 states, the mega brewer will not produce any caffeinated alcohol beverages in the future. Sparks future was in doubt when light was brought to the Attorneys General that the beverages were being marketed to an underage audience and used misleading health-related information to help sell more cans."

Perfect soundtrack



Don't you love it when the Video and the Audio match up perfectly? Tarantino can do it, spike Jonez can do it, Kubrick can certainly do it, and Farder can also do it.

If you have not been watching The Wire...

you should. I know i'm late in the game (the series already ended) but it's a great series by HBO (so far...i'm only on the first season...kind of premature...like bubbles picking up that keychain lololoz...nevermind).


B-more, detectives, nudity, violence, dykes, micks, Omar (above), etc... what more could you ask for?

my only gripe is the awful montage of police equipment set to uninspiring music as the intro

blur is back together....and who cares?

ill try not to sound pretentious but the early 90s britpop band Blur is getting back together...FINALLY apparently. Maybe Im too young to appreciate but who cares about Blur? Seriously tell me, I would genuinely like to know who listens to Blur? Why? no joke. I did little research beyond this usually bad article and apparently Blur had a rival band, and what better 90's rock band than Oasis. (same questions apply....no joke.) These guys are stoked. I mean dont get me wrong, I dig Pavement. Pixies, absolutley. But Blur.....even worse, Oasis. not to sound pretentious or anything.

all jokes aside, please tell me about Blur, and Oasis.

Ninjasonik was fucking amazing

You gotta give 'em hope


After months and weeks of searching for time and a partner to see MILK with, I finally made my way into a movie theatre yesterday.

And I have never been happier that I did.

I'm not some huge movie buff, I won't even begin to try and write some overbearing critique, but to put it simply, this movie was fucking amazing.

Literally, from the very first scene I had chills. I don't want to spoil it for anyone, assuming that most people won't know much about Harvey Milk, George Moscone or their politics during their time in office. But even without that background, the film is so powerful.

In the past few months I've come to know the Castro area very well thanks to reporting on it for school. And even today, the spirit and energy of what Harvey Milk's legacy and fight created is apparent. Seeing scenes from places I walk the streets of everyday, in a city that has such a huge place in my small, cold heart was an experience in itself.

Milk was the true definition of selfless. And he did it in a way that compromised none of himself.

I'm not a huge Sean Penn fan, I almost find him irritating, but after this movie my level of respect for him as an actor has shot up a few hundred points. The entire cast. Perfect.

Go see this movie! By the time it was over, I was crying like a baby. Even after the credits were done. It was just that good.

The countdown begins...


Hanging out with my bff Garrett these past few days really reminded me of why I love stylish, refined and adorable gay men. And Brandon Flowers.

Twelve more days until The Killers live. Who else spent $120 on tickets?! Didn't think so.

you already know...

You had me at "hello."


yes, that the new canon 5d mark 2 under all that shit. i'm stoked that the DSLR's of the future have the ability to record HD video. now i can stop eyeing those High Definition Canon camcorders...which, i'm sure mop the floor with the new 5d over all, but still, the ability to use my current lens line up is amazing...plus the fact that zeiss started making lenses in the Canon EF mount...

Glad to be back in San Francisco


After about 5 days in Salinas California, I'm glad to say i'm back in San Francisco. Sorry for the lack of updates on the Irfo Blog (no thanks to the contributors), but it'll soon be back to it's schedule of daily posts.

Recap of Salinas trip:
got a ride from two rad girls
at a bunch of rad food made by a rad woman
hung out with two rad dogs
hung out with a bunch of rad Salinas folk (including 1 that i thought was a douchebag, but ended up being cool)
realized how much i missed San Francisco

The future



Death of Batman


Batman R.I.P., a story arc penned by Scottish writer Grant Morrison that will conclude in Batman #681, will see the “end of Bruce Wayne as Batman,” according to an interview with the author that appeared in the trade publication Comic Book Resources.

“People have killed characters in the past, but to me, that kind of ends the story,” Mr. Morrison said. “So what I am doing is a fate worse than death. Things that no one would expect to happen to these guys at all.”

Not so FAST?!?1



So, I'm going to fast until thanksgiving. I've never fasted for more than a couple of hours in my life, so i may give in soon... but, i will try. Until thanksgiving, nothing goes into my system except for booze, jell-o (made a fresh batch of strawberry!), coffee, various flavors of froze-fruit ice cream bars, and maybe a apple or several apples.

If I'm unwilling to go out, and seem lethargic in anyway, it's probably because i don't have the proper nutrients that my body is used to.

If you're at all interested in movies...

you should watch this.

Director Ronson was invited to the Kubrick Estate to go through thousands of boxes that Kubrick had saved up throughout the years and what we see are some rather amazing items, which show why it took the director so long to make movies.

How to buy a tux:


The new issue of GQ just put together a guide to how to properly find the right tux. Such information is super useful to most guys because the majority of men I see in suits have absolutely no idea what they were going for, and it shows.

Granted, comparing yourself to Brandon Flowers in a suit would be like a woman comparing herself to Gisele when trying to find a bra, it's depressing and unsatisfying and reminds you of how far you really need to go in life, but still, eye candy is never bad. Especially when it's Brandon Flowers flavor.

Wintour to step down



People are talking and rumor has it that Vogue head-sass-in-charge Anna Wintour is currently looking for someone to take her place.

I don't blame her, the lady is old and probably growing tired of having to face the world everyday from atop her 6-inch Christian Louboutins, sitting next to the Olsen twins front row at a Marc Jacobs show. I, on the other hand, am not. And would love to take her place.

Someday...someday...

See, my phone isnt that shitty



i think my good ol' Samsung is a step up from this badboy.

The possibilities are truly endless

Some friends and I were discussing my passionate love of funnel cakes the other night, which not only prompted me to incessantly dream about these rarely encountered but sinfully delectable gifts several hours later in my sleep, it also made me think of all the amazing ways there are to truly enjoy a funnel cake.

Sure, I am used to my usual routine of strawberry topping, whipped cream, powdered sugar and the occasional dollop of chocolate syrup, if I'm feeling saucy.

But what about funnel cakes and cheese?! Sort of like an inverted grilled cheese. That would probably be tasty seeing as those anything fried, doughy or cheesy could never, ever possibly be part of any negative scenario, at least in my cookbook.

Also, a funnel cake scramble. I rarely eat a full, hearty breakfast, but when the occasion presented itself, the funnel cake would substitute regular old toast or biscuits, and simultaneously serve as a plate on which eggs, bacon, sausage and the like could be piled atop. It saves table space and also cuts down dishwashing time for those of you who do not achieve a sort of zen-like meditated relaxtion from cleaning as much as I do.

My friend Jeremy, who has far more culinary expertise than I ever will, also suggested fish and funnel cakes as opposed to your standard fish and chips, which initially didn't really sound all that appealing...but after careful consideration I decided would probably be delicious and a bit sweeter and less greasier.

Any more suggestions?

Weird Al never ceases to amaze me

Trapped between a hardplace and a hardplace


last night i was riding my bike toward The Bottom of the Hill. I was zipping along the road with a row pf parked cars to my right. As i approached Thee Parkside bar, a cab pulls over and the door swings open and BLAMO! my bike hits hard into the door. i was a bit dazed, so i'm not too clear on what happened, so here is a excerpt of the email from the woman who opened the cab door.

"I'm happy to hear you are ok- considering you flew over a taxi door:) horrible. i think im permanently traumatized and feel that this experience reaffirms that i should never drive a car...ah."

all in all. i walked away with just a few scrapes and bruises. a messed up front wheel, a possible stripped stem, and a new mindset of watching out for car doors.

Talkin' politics



Two things can happen tonight:

1) Obama wins...if so, i don't want to hear any more griping from black people. If a black person can rise to the top of the American food chain, then it pretty much levels out the playing field. i don't want to hear about the plight of the black man, i don't want to hear about how whitey is "keeping you down" etc...

2) McCain wins...if so, there will probably riots in the streets. There will probably be a lot of economic talk of how much Obama streetwear will either be some sort of rare commodity, or how much wasted energy and resources all that Obama merch has contributed to. Uproar

My elbow after trying to skid on the wet pavement at panhandle park...fishtailed, lost grip and went over the edge.


Over all, it was a fun night. Me and Siggy had a beautiful bike ride from P-Hill to Ocean beach, through Golden Gate Park. We went to my friend Danielle's party and drank and socialized...then shit storm! Danielle and her roommates ended up getting their Laptops stolen, and the cops broke it up.
