Hello my name is ?

2008-09-26T12:59:00.000-07:00

After KRAZY KIDS RADIO, the crew usually goes out to eat somewhere. Last Tuesday, Ruby Red I and myself went to Rubio's for their $1 fish tacos. When I ordered they asked for my name, and of course I said "JUSTIN." So once I got my receipt, I looked at my purchase and this is what I saw:
This is like the 8th or 9th time they got my name wrong. Here are some examples of the hybrid names for "Justin" that Rubio's gives me:

Jerston
Jaystin
Jostun
Juictin

Seriously, how hard is it to spell JUSTIN.
Im not mad, its just funny.

SAN FRANCISCO FROM THE CASTLE

2008-09-04T16:21:00.000-07:00

This a picture from the Castle. The area that you see has been my home for 25 years. This is my part of San Francisco. If the streets can talk, the stories it will tell. I will never give this up for anything, except if I get a ballin ass house somewhere else. So for now, this is the kingdom, for J-Boo is just the dweller of it.

WEBSITE OF THE DAY: A POLOROID TILL THE DAY HE DIED

2008-08-20T18:14:00.000-07:00

I stumbled on this website where a man named Jamie Livingston took a Poloroid picture everyday for 18 years, until the day he died. The saying goes "A picture is worth a thousand words" but with his pictures, words can't describe the amount of dedication and love for what he had with these pictures. I salute you Jamie Livingston, where your art was your everyday life. Cheers.

This is Jamie Livingston

The revolution is televised.

This was taken on the day I was born.

This was taken days before his untimely death. R.I.P.

INVERSION HOUSE

2008-08-19T12:11:00.000-07:00

This extraordinary structure on Montrose Boulevard took motorists by surprise. A pair of artists, Dan Havel and Dean Ruck was responsible for this house installation. The two wooden buildings were to be replaced by a new built project so the few months before the demolition, they made this into an architectonic installation. These photos were taken by Kevin O Mara and you can check them out at Flickr.

Honsetly it looks like I was playing baseball outside, and my massive ass strengeth bent gravity and hit the house. Thats what I can do. Seriously, its kinda freaky that I'm that strong. Like Stallone in the movie OVER THE TOP. THAT STRONG. If you don't know what I'm talking about, watch this.

CLIP OF THE DAY: KLAMS OV DETH

2008-08-07T18:00:00.000-07:00

This has to be by far the best team routine in the history of skratching. If you watch the whole battle, X-Men (now known as the X-executioners) got beat. Im not hating on what they did, but damn against ISP it was no contest. If you want to just see the KLAMS OV DETH routine just fast forward it to 7:46.

-J.Boo

P.S. I know I haven't been here for a while, so keep on the look out daily for clips of the day, artists of the week, and all the other good stufffffff.

J.Shea

2008-02-12T12:25:00.000-08:00

Last night I was at my cousin's house, Mike Boo, and while he was showing me the new Controller 1 from Vestax (by the way that shit is dope...check it out here)there was this piece on the wall that I couldn't stop looking at. The detail on the old man is unbelievable. So Jenn (One of the most dopest artist I ever met) told me his name is J. Shea. So when I got home after the famous 222 Club on Mondays, I looked him up and found out how all around of an artist he is. Man this guy is a sculptor, painter, illustrator, and a collager (if thats even a word). So check this guy out on his website www.jshea9.com. The stuff he has will blow your mind.

(Sorry if the picture is blurry...I shot this with my Palm Centro)

David Flores Chills with Mr. Mouse

2008-01-22T20:44:00.000-08:00

Medicom has been known to make dope Mickey Mouse statues. And as for David Flores, he put his little twist to Mr. Mouse. I like how he just used his dope patterns and just blasted it on the Mouse. Check out his website davidfloresart.com to see more stuff from him.

AXIOTRON MODBOOK...The first and only Apple© Tablet

Even though this has been out for quite some time already, I was on this thing for about 15 minutes just sketching on Adobe Photoshop. Man the stylus is so true to the tablet that it really feels like drawing on paper. Hopefully next year there will be much better things. For now...

So this is the start of the new year. New beginnings and new realizations. To start off my new year, I'm basically starting off from scratch. I haven't touched this blog for two years. All it had was just one picture and a small description of myself. So here it is and hopefully it will be more updated as the year comes. So thanks for stopping by and I hope you like the music...
