Stockholm Skate Legends

The two dudes who will go down in the Swedish Skateboarding Hall of Fame as the founding fathers of Highvalley Skatepark at Högdalen in Stockholms Suburbs. Ants Neo and Johan Sandstrom. They have been working 9 years for this. This is a message to us all: Never give up on your dreams, and pretty much anything is possible. Sk8 on, dudes!

Dungen is backsprungen from dee shwungen

Have you heard Dungen? Swedish great prog/psychedelic rock band sounding like some stoned out prog/folk/rock combo from the '70's, only cooler & better, somehow. The dude behind the band's name is Gustav Estjes, claiming not to be a prog rocker (proggers were far left). Here is a song (he don't make that many videos) from the new album #4:

Californication # 1 & 2 '08

Just saw them, the show is as good as before. It has gotten wilder, rowdier and more explicit with lots of nasty, dirty dialogue. A bit better if you ask me. one is starting to get attached to Duchovny's screwed up character.
The only time the show stalls is when his ex-wife gets in a scene. I don't know what it is with that woman, but the scenes she's in are always boring, and one loses attention of the show. She's just like a blank paper with high cheekbones. A Dr House-like character enters the show, who is an even worse guy at womanizing and drinking than Duchovny. Quite funny! If you're a feminist, don't watch, you'll go postal! And how funny/cool is it not that the daughter looks exactly like emo-cartoon character Emily The Strange!

Entourage # 1 & 2 '08

Just watched them, seems to me they have dumbed down the show just a little, making it more like a lad mag than before. Anyone remember the lad mags of the 90's like Loaded? Anyhow, they let Vince have loads of chicks, much more than before, and Ari is meaner than ever. Johnny Drama starts getting roles, while Vince flopped out with Medellin, and is unhot. It is watchable, not as sharp as before, but still funny. If you're a feminist, don't watch, you'll go bananas.

Le Disco Stylee St Tropez

Fun legendary club one-shouldn't-miss when in St. Tropez, free entrance, but hey, the Champagne was NOT free! Crowded with what we in Sweden call "Stekare". Les hommes with large expensive watches, top brand shirts unbuttoned below the chest, Les femmes in designer dresses, high heel shoes and tons of gold jewelry. All gulping insanely pricey Champagne like there is no financial market downturn whatsoever. Mixed ages, actually had a pretty good time there.

Le French Stylee

Just got back from the Riviera, had a great time. Very interesting trip to Marseille, St Tropez, and Moustiers St Marie in the mountains.
Very flippant is the dude-styles of St Tropez. Unbutton ze shirt!

Europe's largest skatepark to be built in Stockholm

Great news for anyone interested in outdoors sports in the surf category. The guys at Stockholm Sub Surfers, Ants Neo and Johan Sandstrom, to name a few, have done a fantastic job getting the 3 million Euros needed to build a park that will be truly amazing. This will make Stockholm even hipper, and draw skaters from all over the world to Stockholm. Hope they will get a few Euros more and put at roof over the whole thing, since Sweden is a bit close to the north pole to be able to have skateable weather too many days of the short summer.

More 3D

I'm starting to get a little bit into Z-Brush:

Damien Hirst helluva guy

Congrats, this guy is a marketing genious. He sells for 125 million US dollars in one day, and there is more stuff to be sold. He's (his assistants, mostly) been working a year and a half producing 225 items to sell. He sells through Sothebys since there he has to give only half the commissions compared to an art gallery, that charges 50%.
Wow, one can only salute the guy.

Me gettin' into 3D

Check out my first Z-Brush sculpture (under work):

Hillary Clinton & Sarah Palin in SNL

Very funny, and how perfect isn't Tina Fey as Sarah Palin?

Palin Longstocking

This lady is bit of an amateur, she's a Pippi Longstocking of politics, usually winging her way around questions. Do Americans really buy her unprofessional retoric?
Maybe housewives will like her?
Here's the big interview on ABC, where she comes out not even knowing what The Bush Doctrine is...!

Russell Brand - brilliant fun

Wow, believe the hype, Russell Brand is really funny. Brilliant guy, really!

Keep on Truckin' Sept 21st

Hey, maybe he's not so rock'n'roll, but I like him more than Dick Cheney any day:

Is the end nigh?
