Haunted Health Club II

Took a trip with the dog around the other side of the abandoned health club.
It's a big fargan Place!
this is the back, with the abandoned autos*

Here's around front.

This is where me and the dog encountered our first victim, it was a crude Chinese copy of a ken he had his limbs ripped from his torso and stolen, only a leg remains.

His death seems to have rendered him happy, he kind of looks like the dude on the Partridge family, Bob Partridge? or something.
gay ken-like head

Gay dead Chinese Ken was found in front of what used to be some sort of electrical box, some urban archeologist has already saved the precious metals by selling them for crack.

Walking toward the main doors.

The dog lays claim to the teritory by pissing on it.
It's his now, you go way!!
for the dog to pee on!

Here's the main entrance, and it appears to be some awful architecture to greet you and get you pumped up, I guess.

Here's a good shot of the front.
It would make a cool house, with a bit of work of course.
front 3

It's for lease!!
Wonder how many times the handicapped parking space gets used at the health club?

here's a couple of shots of the olympic sized cess pool.
Oh cabana boy!

There are some big turtles and fish in that nasty bitch.

The front lobby I stuck my camera phone up against the locked door, you just couldn't walk in, or I would have.

More of the front inside, it's empty and cleaned out.

Well back home for me and the dog

Next time I'll have the dog break-in and we'll vandalize the whole fucking place.*

A trip to the haunted health club!!!

Today while walking the dog, I stumbled upon an old abandoned LA fitness club.
It had been several years since anyone had toned up inside, or swam in the pool.
haynted 1
The club is showing it’s age, It’s strange how fast something falls to shit after the people leave.
haunted 2
It looks spookier behind the rusty steel fence, all overgrown with dead weeds.
haunted 3
Ahhh, speaking of shit, we had to stop and do the business we had set out to do, watch your step on the way back!!
haunted 4
On the way to the abandoned basketball courts, nobody wants to play anymore.
haunted 5
The newer looking water thingy, picnic table and garbage thing, are just rotting away now.
haunted 6
The dog hears a ghost dribbler.
haunted 7
What a waste, and a shame.
haunted 8
Time to head back before the sunsets and the zombies come out.
The healthy zombies can be hard to get away from.
haunted 9
come on boy hurry up.
haunted 10
Wow that was close!!
haunted 11
We’ll try the other side next, in the near future!!

It's just a fucking tripometer

I happened to look down just as this rolled over.
7's across, felt lucky, and it quickly diminished the closer I got to Wal-Mart.
4 7's

The Internet and easy access to a camera (phone) has caused a life shift for me.
I would have seen this before and then would have had a story to tell someone later.
Now I have to stop and take a picture of it, I hope the people behind me didn't mind too much. I'm pretty sure they know it takes a few minuets to line a shot up right.
Posting pictures of great moments like this is much more important then what the people in the cars behind me had to do this morning anyway...

Pills!

sung to a country beat.

Cause when you need one just to wake up
And you need one to go to bed.
It means that the pills your taking
Are running you around ragged

This fast life that you are leading
just keeps on pushing ahead.
So you need a little help with it now
At least that’s what the doctor said

An then you take one when you feel low
You take one rather then eat instead
But your friends are starting to worry
Cause you're lookin like the living dead

Cause when you need one just to wake up
And you need one to go to bed.
It means that the pills you’re taking
Are just messing up your pretty head

Well you drink plenty of liquids
The vodka it goes down smooth
And the pounds they keep on dropping
Cause booze it just ain’t a food.

Cause when you need one just to wake up.
And now your bed is made.
As your life it spirals downward.
At least the doctors got paid.

And I'm never going back to my old school...

Too bad, sometimes I miss it.

I see you in there ya little bastard!

and I'll get you yet...
I see you in there

Tonight I'm going to party like it's 1969.

I have always thought in the back of my mind...

My old black friends

I was cleaning up around here and
decided maybe it's time to wear my old boots again.
I through a shine on them and put them on, still fit like a pair of gloves.
Little stiff though got to wear them some.

ass-kicken time!

large white boxer

This is my dog.
he is a white boxer.
he is about 5yrs old.
I got him from here:
http://www.savetheboxers.com/
His name is Adin, it's the name he came with.

The look on his face is a reaction to my guitar playing.

Superbowl? I'm ready! but really don't care.

Iv'e got 52" of Sony Hi-Def happiness, just waiting for tonight!
hi-def crap
Sadly it's wasted on me, I sure don't want to watch that overhyped crap, not that I don't like football, but it isn't about football anymore it's about commercials and fake titie exposing.
Makes me want to hurl, so I won't be tuning in, I'll watch something on Netflix.
Don't get me wrong, I feel for you dudes that live for this shit.
So if anybodys in the Dallas area and is stuck watching a little crap TV, stop on over, I'll turn on the game, bring some munchies and some smoke.
You can enjoy the superduperbowl, we'll smoke a few bowls, and all will be right with the world.

You want Sunday morning? You got it!

More playing, Sunday morning silliness.
I'm making these videos to watch myself and correct mistakes
But this Webcam is way to blurry, got to get out the old camcorder.

drum machine and distortion.

Yuck, I hate drum machines.
This is me playing around with mine earlier.

Bad-Assed, by otto

Bad-assed
You went and surely found her
Bad-assed
As the boys surround her.
Bad-assed
She won’t never come home
bad-assed
You’ll just be alone

Bad-assed
She comes and goes as she pleases
Bad-assed
In and out like the breezes
Bad-assed
Always looking for better
Bad-assed
But age is going to get her

Bad-assed
She can do what she wants
Bad-assed
Her attributes she flaunts
Bad-assed
The guys won’t leave her alone
Bad-assed
Till her man comes home

These guys are touring again?

I walked to the store to get some coffee,
and I saw the Jews for Jesus tour bus parked out back.
jesus butt
their on tour again?
Last time I saw Jews for Jesus they weren't that good*
They are actually a christian rock band, not jewish.
So if you go thinking you're going to hear some kick-ass hasidic music,
you may come back soley disappointed by these guys.
I did check out their website, boy did their MP3s suck!
I wonder how many hungry families that the money from buying, maintaining and
Driving that big nice bus around could feed?
Well anyways, Rock on Jesus for Jews!!

*that might have been Jesus Jones I remember, it has been awhile.

I HAVE THIS SONG STUCK IN MY HEAD, IT WON'T GO AWAY.

I'M SHOUTING AND I DON'T KNOW WHY!

Singin with the starling, or my vocal coach is a bird.

I live with a bird.
he/she is a Starling. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starling
it was a baby when he was found on the ground, helpless and hungry.
I had found baby birds on the ground when I was a kid, they all died.
That was before the internet, I didn't know what to feed them.
http://www.starlingtalk.com/
This one didn't die, he isn't tame, he just is.
His name is Tom, he thinks I'm his mother.

A crow would be cooler.
I have a starling.

Guitar Hero?????

This is a public service message for the uninformed.

This is a guitar, a Gibson Explorer.

This is a joystick.

These are not.
geek squad on guitar?

Don't let this be you!
no sherman I'm sorry
Sorry Sherman I know you even got the shirt, but I'm afraid it's a fail.

This ain't no fuckin around, it's just a planet of sound.

I fix and sell electronics for fun, for free toys, and for extra cash.
I put this together a few months ago, I had it on another account that I'd just
like to forget about now, but this was one of my favorite "what if I did this?"
kind of projects.
I had a chance to buy a bunch of these used JVC Giga-tube stereos dirt cheap,
The main units were messed up, but most of the speakers were still good.
I thought they looked kind of 70's battlestar galatica, robotish, funky, whatever.
I wondered what a stack of the speakers would sound like, I bought a bunch.
fixed a few, sold them and paid for all of them, and as funky as they looked they didn't sound bad at all, a little bassy, but you could cut that.
So with the speakers I had left I did this:

Wall of VooDoo
There are sevral models of jvc giga-tube speakers in there, each one has a powered subwoofer in it, and it had a scarry thup, even at the volume I tried it on.

this ain't no foolin around
I wanted to play my guitar through them, because all I had were small amps, and I didn't think I'd run into anything nice that I could fix, but I did, and I could barely turn this up.

yes they are hooked up
they are all hooked up, I thought about spliting left and right up and using two main units but one was plenty, it was way to loud for where I live.

I have since taken it down, I made the mistake of stacking it against the wall, I know it made it louder, It's piled in the corner, I may get crazy and put it up in the middle of the room one night, may just get rid of them.

A guitar lesson from my favorite teacher

I have gathered the The equipment that my Sensi Skwisgaar recommends.
epipi futura, and spidervalve
Gibson Explorers are a bit out my price range, so I went with an Epipi copy of a Gibson Futura, and a Screaming Line 6 Amp.
EMG pickups
It does have EMG pick-ups and built-in overdrive.

Restringing the Yamaha

Sitting around here relaxing after fighting with Expressions Web 2 all day, I thought I would restring old Greg, the Yamaha RGX A2
I give this one a workout and the cheap Earnie Ball Strings don't last that long.
I need to wipe it down when the strings are off, should take a good twenty mins. then it 's back to the kingdom of boredom!

otto needs a drummer

Can cross these two good ones off the list.

One was never alive, the others dead, so it goes.

When talent was king, and guitar effects will simple

You need to clue me in on keeping my days from being boring, I've not gotten that on figured out yet. ;)

Re: public

Well if ya want to find out why people drink beer that's what ya need to do.
Give yourself a little beer buzz, don't drink enough to make you sick or anything.
Wander around the house giggling to yourself for a few hours, that's beer, when it's good.
Truthfully I can't recall any alcoholic beverage that tasted good enough to drink on it's own.
If it didn't have the buzz factor, I would have rather had a coke.
I like your screen name dude.
