all hallows eve my pretties

so upping the halloween-anty by a few million people or so we have

a.there is an annual parade, in the village, purportedly with 2 million people. out of those 2 million, 500,000 are really annoying, 5,000 are probably cops, and the rest are whole bunches of fun, non?

I went with pharrell

and a witch

they are both in photography so they are even more camera happy than I. along the way we met The Dude as well as these kids from photo who recognize me because I guess I model a lot? That happens a lot here, even I am in need of models because I am in a photography class essentially as well.

here was a clever concept

b.
I don't have the capacity I think to forge someone else's identity, though it is definitely a good idea...and I will admit to being lost in regards to my costume as recently as 3p.m. or so today. But then I remembered I had been copying an old idea of joel's for about 2 weeks...

this spurted ideas into motion, and I came up with this sexyness

I am the literal representation of business-casual, if you need the black and white definition of it (ohh oh get the pun folks)

for an uglier but much more comparative version,

c. as mentioned and will be mentioned, something will happen on tuesday. I encourage you all to become more informed in your discussions; might I direct you towards a very informative graphic easily accessible from the NYTimes.com frontpage, which has recently updated information regarding every state, and you can even count-up-your-electorals as they become available.
May I remind you that not all news is fair, even places separate of Fox. I plan on intensely watching the internet, maybe the daily show if something is there (entertainment in the event that I become very depressed), and The Lehrer News Hour. The last is advisable in terms of a fair position, plus I enjoy supporting publicly funded enterprises. Have fun this week, and remember that moving to Canada is not worth it, the system is fixable

death letters + angry settlers

There have been accusations that CombatRhino sucks....
AND THEY'RE TRUE!....
but no fear, in any bad situation, it is inevitably that it will "s'ameliorier," non?

I have come to the realization that all things cool are tied together in my mind somehow...the difference between vespas and the internet is really negotiable. How is this relevant might you ask? In any given day of mind, I have found that in conversation I float easily from talking about breakfast cereal slogans ("Why do you like Apple Jacks when they don't taste like apples? I just do") to talking about minute differences in silly grammar and colloquialisms (I assure you that a conversation about accents, regional word differences, and grammar differences is unassailably awesome). However for whatever reason this weekend I found myself spurting all of the awesome ideas I have come up with over the years. For those who are guided by subtle design clues this is like the best thing ever. although, it should not be judged by size because the concept of being fantastic is really ongoing:

1.our number system is based on 10's, dig? we count to 10 then the numbers start over again. well why not 6's? it's divisible evenly by more things plus its more sexy. sssssssssssssix
2.this concept was spoke of in the past, but creating a new letter (the sound of pbbbbb or the fart noise, in layman's terms) or a new color. the first I along with Bryant Bone did, creating a letter which I can't remember what it is. it approximately looks like u, and I believe there is at least one word which uses it. someday I will remember the logistics. the new color may be impossible due to physical charecteristics of light, but its fun to think about nonetheless
3.creating music. if you have heard our cd, or the new song with dave, or anything that has ever left my lips, you can at least appreciate the funnity of music. it is even more awesome to make yourself, even if it sucks. which often it may not.
4.robots, ninjas, pirates (and cowboys but lets face it I'm throwing that in here more for affirmative action purposes since they're pretty useless anymore). I am in film school and I have a goal at some point of creating a small film consisting of these four childhood groups fighting: it would be amazing. who would win? that is an open question but I am not asking for comments
5.the internet: has anyone visited wikipedia.org? or cockeyed.com? or boingboing.net? I learn something new from the internet every single day, that is not a generalization it is just the truth. as we speak, I am downloading awesomeness directly into my brain. or brian if you misttype.
6.accents! there are only a few who can imitate them, but to have them is even better. I am including the southern accent here too, though some have issues with it. on another note I have a weird fetish with the south though I have no real desire to live there for extended periods of time.

there are more but I've been philanthropic enough for the now. go and vote, because if you don't (and I'm not kidding) I have very little respect for your opinion.

this weekend was spent with my mom as well as with shirley and a cadre of her friends who are cool as well. I was informed the day before that Jonas a kid from penn who is a german exchange student would be staying in my room? It was all good, we sang mid 90's techno and the world was at some sort of peace.

here is him as well as daphne, on the subway. daphne likes green, but says "cap-reh sun" instead of "capri sun". I realize I am spelling with bias, but honestly who says "capreh sun"? She is equally as cool as jonas though

shirley was there too!

this picture is fairly cool I believe, so much so it looks fake, but it wasn't. new york has the best sunsets I have ever seen, ostensibly because of the pollution. shirley is as mysterious as usual, as shown by her quizzical visage. magnichic

hanging out with momma larsen was fun as well, always good to see people you know

expect a new rap featuring me+dave, producing or maybe some rapping too. I freestyle here some, its pretty fun and destressful
expect more crazy things on my other site
expect me being even sexier, if possible, due to the runnage with dave
expect better blogs in the future, from me as well as others
I guess I would give this a perfect 6 though
hollaaaaaa

wasabi is good

today is my birthday, donc I am allowed to be as narcissistic as I can until I get a boner, as erik I might say

one thing I would like to address
there seems to be a lot of negativity surrounding things of late... there will always be haters, which is a bit silly. let me elaborate, because I know everything
one version of the story concerns the people who just plain hate blogs; that is okay because it has reason. there are a lot of cool blogs out there, I could give you examples, BUT there are many more really dumb ones. however, I put my hope that at least one combatrhino trophy is one among them. which is why I waste ridiculous amounts of hours doing nerdy things. did you know I have read any comment ever written?

additionally there are the people who believe combatrhino is exclusive and cliquey. again, there is some truth to this. neither erik nor I regulate content here, its entirely determined by karl i think. again though, I know that at least some of the people here are good about being inclusive. and some even enjoy brioche too!

sometimes I have dreams (illusions?) of grand moustaches, I was inspired that night like I am many a night. it actually looks more like racing stripes or a tim burton moustache however, and I didn't actually draw it, it was remixed by someone else. but it was still deliciously delightful

one thing you should know: october 5th is the most common birthday of the world, a fact you all should carry ready to whip out at will. however, that is merely my personal way of digesting the world

things which will never go the way of a trend
chinese restaurants
actually, ethnic restaurants in general
afros
polaroids
kung fu movies
chuck nichols

or el jefe, sissonation, sissonator, Jeff, jeffrey. I can vote finally ;)
