Shoe news - go out and buy the new Vega by Supra - Erik Ellington Pro Model

EE's shoe comes in white, black and this dope ice blue colorway. The entire Supra line for Spring is pretty solid but Erik's models are the best of the bunch (no bias here).

Isolated - New Guinea Sneak Peek and a bit o news

So some of you who follow this pile of nothingness may recall a project I started working on as producer some time ago. It is a surf project shot in Papua New Guinea called Isolated. I recently got the trailer sent to me from Geoff Clark (the main man producer good guy) and it looks INSANE. I can't show it to you since the voice over is a place holder. BUT...I do want to say that this week we got verbal commitment from a major star to do the voice over and come on as producer. The news will break here first.

In the meantime, here are a few snaps from the trailer to get those of you that care stoked about the project.

I'm having an issue with a former UFC World Champ

First let me say that I have the utmost respect for Randy Couture as a fighter. I think he is amazing in the ring and have met him a few times in person and he was a gentleman. That being said I am his "friend" on Facebook and lately I have been getting a rash of conspiracy group invites from him with titles like "JEWISH MAFIA IS TAKING OVER OUR WORLD & EVENTUALLY GOING TO KILL US.TRUTH!" and "HELP EXPOSE THE CIA ROLE IN 9-11 ZIONIST FAKE TERROR ATTACK PLUS DRUG TRADE." I am not 100% sure that this FB page is his but if someone did a fake one in my name and began espousing NEW WORLD ORDER propaganda in my name I would make sure it was taken down. I even emailed his manager Matt to check and see and got no reply. When I posted something on his page it was deleted.

I don't believe in hearsay but if it is indeed you Mr. Couture, keep in mind the Jewish Mafia puts you in movies, runs your manager's management company and probably is instrumental in taking you out of the ring and into the public spotlight. Was that not you at Jewish Mafia Media card carrying member Mike Goldberg's 100th fight party in Vegas after your loss to Lesnar? I implore you, if you indeed think these conspiratorial thoughts to keep them to yourself. It will be good for your career outside of the ring.

Much respect but I am currently "on hold" as a fan. Read more!

Today's COOL/NOT COOL - Gramps (Couture)

COOL - Grandpa is ALWAYS cool. Mine was OG gangster gangster. Always wore the freshest suits from Barneys when he was a criminal lawyer in NY during the 40's-70's (he did a little work for the Families) and when he moved to Arizona had the best cowboy button ups.

(This is NOT my grandpa. I unfortunately do not have any digital pics of him as he passed before that whole technology hit.)

NOT COOL - Grandpa's worst sweaters. Put 'em back with the mothballs hipsters and update with a cashmere hoodie or something that doesn't make you look like Mr. Rogers.


Note...we did a similar post about wearing Grandma's home made scarf and seem to be contradicting ourselves here but G-Ma made that shit with LOVE. That is COOL...always.

Left hanging in the cold...literally! HAHAHAHAHAH

This poor S.O.B. was skiing in Vail when there was a malfunction on a ski lift that somehow managed to leave him dangling upside down with his pants down for 15 minutes. This is SO damn funny and I know he is going to sue but shouldn't be able to since it is so funny. HAHAHAHAHA. I can't stop laughing at you dangling naked guy.

Let's get serious for a minute (R.I.P. Baby Bella)

It was a bit of a rough year last year for The Plop (and everyone else in the world so this isn't a poor me post). We made about 15% less money in '08, lost about 20% on our retirement plans, tried to start a new company that was only minorly successful to start, started a partnership that wound up going south with us losing the good end of the deal and hit a few personal blips along the way. The end of the year was all but dead and the lack of business going down really hit us hard in the self worth category. However, The Plop, as we are known to do never gave up and kept plugging away.

Lo and behold, today was the first day of the work year and we got good news after good news. Some projects are coagulating, things are going down and quite possibly may propel some things into the big time. For once, I felt like boasting, shouting off roof tops, that '09 was looking sweet and would soon be '0-mine!

Being the Facebook addict that I am, I did the real time status updates bragging about what a day it has been. Then a BOMB dropped. A friend posted a simple status update saying today he is remembering his new born daughter that was just a few months old. His profile pic is now a pic of his gorgeous little girl and I feel like such a pile of shit for reveling in joy while he is going through the worst pain I can imagine a new father could ever go through.

First, I want to send my condolences to Ron and his family and send my love, thoughts and prayers. I don't know the details but I am completely beside myself and am at a loss for the right way to say sorry.

Finally, this made me think. Maybe '09 is not a year to revel in self worth and personal achievement but rather one to try and bring up humanity as a whole. Let's stop fighting, bombing, stealing, lying, scheming and causing strife and work towards some form of change and hope for mankind in general. People need to be fed, educated, clothed, loved, etc. etc.

I am sorry for this rant but the Plop isn't totally heartless and cold. Though I never met my friend's baby (and frankly have not seen him in a few years), I am sick to my stomach with sadness and felt like abusing my power to disseminate my ideas to the world.

Thanks for listening. Go hug your kids.

COOL/NOT COOL - Shades

COOL - I love sunglasses. I wear them all the time. They look cool.


NOT COOL - Wearing them at night or indoors. You just look like a big bag o' douche. I don't care who you are/think you are.

Research!

Project X will hopefully be in full effect (waiting on a few variables) in the new year. I can't wait to talk about it when I finally do the press release. In the meantime, here are a few flicks I passed on to my director, Steven Sheridan, to check out for inspiration. I wholeheartedly rec both docs for your viewing pleasure.
