Hey there little fella…. so i’ve been hanging most of the day - went skating around Venice, got some food, people watched, did some reading, did some iChatting with Jahan (who happens to be in canada with Dirty Penny), did some eBay searching, looked at some apartments, and now I just recently caught myself doing two things. Two things that are good, well good and bad. I’m not one to live in the past - so part of me doesn’t like to dwell too much on the past…but I think there is a difference between reminiscing and dwelling - right? good, glad you agree.

Anyways, I was looking on youtube and had an epiphany - we’re involved in some fun shit. Some real fun shit. SO heres a video overview of some dope stuff I have been a part of over the past two years. Both old (Chico) and new (USA). Take a look in all it’s glory.

We’ll start with the new -
Red Bull Riders Cup: currently i’m managing a surf project titled Red Bull Riders Cup, it is a national high school surf contest. it is really dope and is currently being filmed for a show that will go to MTV later this year, a reality show, think - The Hills meets Southern California surfer boys - heres the trailer.

Red Bull Manny Mania: a 15 stop Amateur skate contest that will continue into 2009, from the brain of Joey Brezinski, this shit is hype. This is the video of the pro form 2007, think, the same contest on steroids with 15+ stops it all starts June 7th. Come visit your boy in a city near you.


Red Bull Snow Warz: I hung with a decent amount of you a few weeks back in Mammoth - shit popped off. All in all a great event, stoked I was able to be a part of it - peep the recap video.


Theres plenty more where that came from but thats quick taste of what my lfie has consisted of over the past few weeks - and heres the old…

I had the raddest time the 5 years I spent in CHICO it shaped me to be who I am today and the experiences I gained from there will stick with me until my dying days. Here are a few dope things we (my friends and I) did while in college…


Street rail destruction: rail jam in a place that never gets snow, jeahh jeahh


Diamonds are forever: lets get a bunch of girls, booze and throw a party in the most exclusive flat in town….to be honest, we’re lucky we didnt go to jail for this one..


Beer Pong Mockumentary: Beer Pong - what else can we say? Then we made a mockumentary about it??? shiiiit son.

Do you smoke Chronic chronically? Do you enjoy having your testicles? Well if recent studies are right you may have to choose between the two of them… Not really a tough choice for most guys I think.

So apparently Marijuana use may increase the risk of developing testicular cancer,
in particular a more aggressive form of the disease, according to a
U.S. study published on Monday.

The study of 369 Seattle-area men ages 18 to 44 with testicular cancer
and 979 men in the same age bracket without the disease found that
current marijuana users were 70 percent more likely to develop it
compared to nonusers.

The risk appeared to be highest among men who had reported smoking
marijuana for at least 10 years, used it more than once a week or
started using it before age 18, the researchers wrote in the journal
Cancer.

Stephen Schwartz of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in
Seattle, one of the researchers, said the study was the first to
explore marijuana’s possible association with testicular cancer.

“This is the first study to look at this question, and by itself is
not definitive. And there’s a lot more research that would have to be
done in order to be more confident that marijuana use really is
important in a man’s risk of developing testicular cancer,” Schwartz
said in a telephone interview.

The study found the increased risk appeared to be in the form called
nonseminoma testicular cancer. It accounts for 40 percent of cases and
can be more aggressive and more difficult to treat, Schwartz said.

Experts are unsure about the causes of testicular cancer, which often
strikes men in their 20s and 30s. The disease is seen more commonly in
men who have had an undescended testicle or have a family history of
testicular cancer.

The disease usually responds well to treatment and has a five-year
survival rate of about 96 percent, according to the American Cancer
Society.

About 8,000 men in the United States are diagnosed with testicular
cancer per year, and there are about 140,000 U.S. men alive who have
survived the disease, the group said.

The researchers said they were not sure what it was about marijuana
that may raise the risk. Chronic marijuana use also can have effects
on the male reproductive system including decreased sperm quality,
they said.

So by now we have all seen this picture of Michael Phelps chongin the bong…

I just wanted to drop my 2 cents, I’m sorry but if this kid can go out and party and take some bong rips and still end up with this…

Then I say leave the damn kid alone. What is great is all of his sponsors know he is worth so much money that they can’t afford to drop him. Here are a couple bonus photos of Phelps out living the Fucking dream.

PEACE

So, I was reading a comment posted about an article saying how this person (we’ll just call him Jordan) was concerned that this site was reminding him of a consumer reports magazine as of late. He brought up an older post about an open forum of guests guessing where Jahan (the Kosher Kannon) would contract his first STD on tour. Allegedly he came back clean. This made me laugh. It also got me thinking, as fate would have it our curly haired friend is about to embark on tour number two. This time he will be on a tour bus instead of an RV which in my mind means he will have a greater chance of scoring a sweet venereal disease. So it’s time to bring it back, it’s a little game that is similar to “Where in the World is, Carmen San Diego?”, this game is called “Which city will the Kosher Kannon ignore common sense and possibly United States Law, and get what is coming to him?”. We all know the rules, take a look at the tour schedule and make your guess. Guess early and guess often!

Playboy Mexico’s Holiday issue has sparked a bit of a controversy, Model María Florencia Onori from Argentina is on the cover bearing a striking resemblance to Mary… Jesus’s Mom. The title on the cover says:  ”Te Adoramos María,” the Spanish — “We adore you, Mary”. This was published last week on the exact date when millions of Mexicans celebrate the festival of the Virgin of Guadalupe. Very important, not only for Mexicans but for all Latino-Americans. Playboy of course denies any correlation between the magazine cover and Mary or the festival. The publisher for Playboy Mexico said: ”The image is not and never was intended to portray the Virgin of Guadalupe or any other religious figure.” 

Now the Catholic Church and others are calling this a desperate attempt to sell magazines. I don’t find this desperate though, I find it to be a regular marketing ploy. Businesses use all of our holidays to sell their products. I guess my thing is, if you don’t like what they are doing, don’t buy it. Fact is they are doing nothing illegal and Hugh Hefner is The Man. Period. 

On a different note about old Hugh, he shipped out his 3 tramps and moved in two knockout twins… Who I imagine are also tramps, God he is the man.

It’s called the wine rack and I suggest that you make your girl friend or whatever buy one. You can get booze into anywhere. It holds 25oz of your favorite hooch. So yea, I just saw this and thought I would share it with everyone.

So once again our Government has decided to get it’s hands into sports. This week Congressman Joe Barton, R-Texas, convened a BCS hearing. Stating that he wanted to figure out if the BCS (Bowl Championship Series) was an illegal business. Funny thing is, he had not said anything until his beloved Texas Longhorns did not make the Big 12 Title game and therefor had no real shot of playing in the National Title game (UF vs OK). Sounds like an abuse of power to me. Since this has came up three other members of Congress have stepped forward, calling the Justice Department to investigate the BCS. Representatives, Neil Abercrombie (D-Hawaii), Lynn Westmoreland (R-Ga.) and Mike Simpson (R-Idaho) are introducing a resolution rejecting the often criticized bowl system as an illegal restriction on trade because only the largest universities compete in most of the major bowl games. The resolution would require Justice’s antitrust division to investigate whether the system violates federal law. Again let us look at the people behind this move, Neil Abercrombie (D-Hawaii)… Hawaii has had some good seasons as of late, even undefeated seasons. They however have not made the national title game, while 1 loss teams have. Thing is, Hawaii rarely plays any ranked schools, so based on their strength of schedule they shouldn’t make the title game. If it just went directly to the undefeated teams, our big schools would stop scheduling other big schools and all we would have is blowouts all year…. no fun. Same thing can be said for Mike Simpson (R-Idaho) whose home team, Boise State has also went undefeated without reaching the national title game. Same story there, they don’t play enough good teams to deserve to play for the title. Lynn Westmoreland (R-Ga.) watched his Georgia Bulldogs not make the title game last year and is now taking this opportunity to cry about it.

Look, I agree that the system may be flawed with all of these computer rankings and this ridiculous equation that makes the BCS tick, but I also think that our Justice Department is better served looking out for our interests elsewhere. Remember last time that Congress got involved… Last years Baseball Steroids fiasco… nothing came of that either. Plus at least with that everyone knew that Steroids are illegal to take no matter what. Here they are talking about a system agreed upon by everyone in 1998. College Football will fix this in due time, Congress needs to stick to fixing our economy and that little 7 year war that we have been involved in. I am personally ashamed of these Congressmen for abusing their power like this.

think about it. I have been, and while tossing around the idea of quitting my job (sike!), moving to hawaii and hanging on the beach everyday, i started pondering some things. dying for something no one cared about…that would suck. dying to prove a point that was so important to you, but in reality, no one else even cared about it. thats what this is about right here.

Christopher McCandless - do you remember this guy? they made a movie on him.


What He Tried to Prove:
That he didn’t need the shallow comforts of modern life, damnit.

The Method:
Everyone, at some point in their life, has had the desire to just leave it all behind. For some people, this involves starting over in another country, for others, it involves cancelling their World of Warcraft subscription. Christopher McCandless decided, fuck it, he’d just leave his family, and all of civilization, behind.
McCandless had a strong contempt for the “empty materialism of American society,” and just took off to live in the wild of Alaska, with little to no food or equipment. Just the way nature intended!

What He Actually Proved:
That the corrupt, capitalist society he so loathed was pretty much the only thing keeping him alive. Though the book on McCandless’s life and the movie it spawned were sympathetic to the whole situation, many Alaskans believe that he was foolish to embark on such a lifestyle without the appropriate skills or equipment, such as a map or compass. Or common sense.

The Moral of The Story:
The man who set out to prove we didn’t need frivolities like houses and electricity wound up being the poster child for keeping your job and not moving to the mountains to be a weirdo. Good job, Chris.

and there you have it, life update 101 from brandon brown

So you think your BMW makes you a baller? Maybe your 7 Jeans, Ed Hardy shirt, and Dior sunglasses make you feel like you’re “doin it”. This right here though is some next level shit, like Oh My God, I don’t know what to do with all of my money status. Maybe this will motivate everyone to take there “Scrooge McDuck Paper Stack” to that level. Peep it.
