Do I Look Like Kate Hudson?

I just stumbled upon this cool face recognition site, MyHeritage.com. You can upload a picture of your face and it will tell you what celebrity you look like. Apparently my face is a 71% match to Kate Hudson. Who do you look like?

Edit: Damn, I look tired in that picture! That was a pic from a trip to Washington DC and I has some serious jet lag...haha

My Brother is Famous

Well, looks like my brother is famous again. My mom just emailed me this scan from the August 2006 Wired Magazine:


First he's in the New York Times and now this. Total bullshit, how am I supposed to win my parents love away from him, when he keep pulling this "famous" crap...Jerk...haha ;)

Edit: Here's the Shawn Hogan Wired article online.

The Power of the Blog

It's funny to think about how many people stumble upon this blog by searching Google for random stuff. I just got an email from Dick Chibbles (mom, don't click on that link...haha), thanking me for blogging about Clown Porn. I also just got an email from the owner of Bandit the Biker Dog after he spotted his picture on my blog.

Oh yeah, and remember Bethany Taylor? She's probably not that stoked that my complaint about her lack of talent comes up on the 1st page of Google if someone searched for "Bethany Taylor" or her business "Magnolia Hair Studio".

My all time favorite is still the law offices of Winn and Sims, who have got to be the shadiest lawyers in town. If you search Google for "Winn and Sims", my brothers blog about his experiance with them comes up on the 1st page of results.

Blogging really has given the "little guy" a voice that can, and will, be heard loud and clear, via the internet.

Pirates of the Caribbean 2

The short review of Pirate of the Caribbean 2:

Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead Mans Chest, SUCKS!!!

My rant about Pirate of the Caribbean 2:

Pirates of the Caribbean 2 is the apitome of why I go to the movies no more then once a year. I hate sitting through a movie and it just being a huge waste of time! Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead Mans Chest has no plot and when it finally got to the good part it was over. It was just a 2 1/2 hour advertisement for Pirate of the Caribbean 3. SERIOUSLY! Do yourself a favor and watch the trailer, it's much more exciting then the actual movie:



The movie was so bad that I found myself thinking about things other then pirates such as: "Damn, why did Keira Knightly get collagen injections? She's barely 21 years old!"

Keira Knightly before collagen injections:



Keira Knightly after collagen injections:

Too busy to work...

I planned on working this weekend, but apparently I have too many hobbies...

Friday: I worked a couple of hours and then Carrie showed up with her boat and we went wakeboarding on the Carlsbad Lagoon. We wakeboarded, had a couple of beers, went to dinner and turned in somewhat early so we could make our 11am tee time.

Saturday: Woke up with just enough time to pick up my golf clubs from Stefans house and made it the 11am tee time by 11:20 (whoops!). Golfed 18 holes at Emerald Isle in Oceanside, which, by the way, is the most ghetto golf course I have ever been on. After golf, Stefan and I went shopping, ate sushi and then headed over to Matt Armijo's house for poker. Long story short, I kicked some ass at poker and headed home with the loot around midnight.

Sunday: Stefan woke me up at 8am to go surf Oceanside. Unfortunately, the combo of golf and wakeboarding put my body in no position to go surfing, so I slept in (sleeping in is another hobby of mine :)...). At noon we went and picked up the purchases I absentmindedly left at the store on the shopping spree the day before (duh!), more shopping, dinner, movie, *poof* weekend is gone.

I was supposed to work this weekend. Where did the weekend go?!

Bam Margera Shops at My Store

I just received an email from "Bam Margera" (he's a famous skateboarder that has his own show on MTV, for those of you that don't know):

"dear vicousstyle,
my name is bam,i would like to order but i have problem.please help me to process my order.my order are : 1. Distressed Leather Belt Strap ( M ) 2. Jolly Roger Pirate Belt Buckle please tell me via email.thanks
"

Apparently "Bam" doesn't speak very good English any more. He also lives in Indonesia and is trying to make his purchase with a stolen credit card number. I guess MTV doesn't pay as good I thought!

99% of all fraudulent transactions we've received are from Indonesia, so that's not a big surprise, but I thought it was funny that they are trying to pass themselves off as someone famous...haha

Christina Aguliera's Boob Job

Okay, I admit it. I totally read trashy celebrity magazines. I don't even have a TV or watch movies, but I'm amazed at the power of the media and how fake celebrities and their lives are.

Any who, looks like Christina Aguilera got some big ol' titties installed recently.


At least she didn't pull a Tara Reid and announce the arrival of her new boobs by whipping off her top in front of thousands of cameras...

My Farm is Barren

Well, I think it's safe to say that I am not a very good farmer.


Above was my 2nd attempt at growing fresh basil, chives, cilantro and marijuana (just kidding about that last one, but I don't remember what the 4th herb was...). Pretty bad for someone that went to a high school that offered courses for Future Farmers of America. My poor little herbs were doing so good for a while, too.

Oh, and in case you were wondering, that last little green sprout is actually a weed. How the hell did that get there?!

Looks like I'll be taking "Farmer" off of my resume...

Bethany Taylor - Magnolia Hair Studio - Oceanside

A few days ago, I got the best example of "write the letter when you're pissed, but don't send it because you'll look like a total jack ass" from Bethany Taylor, owner of Magnolia Hair Studio in Oceanside, California. Bethany gave me the worst haircut I have ever had in my ENTIRE life, over a year ago, so I happened to rant about it on my blog. I'm not sure how Bethany Taylor (the chick that gave me that shitty ass hair cut) found my blog, but apparently she did because I got the following email:

(Warning: This email is almost painful to read. Apparently they don't teach proper use of punctuation or grammar at the hair school Bethany attended. No really, I started reading it a couple of times before I could actually bare to finish the whole jumbled mess...)

"So i'm not gonna be lame and immature as you have clearly proven yourself to be. You obviously have WAY to much time on your hands! First of all... if you had such a problem with the service you got or didn't get (in your case) MOST MATURE adults would let that person know you weren't happy and not waste your precious time making yourself look rediculous by post a sad pathetic pitty party for yourself ONLINE- how embarrasing! one thing to remember for the future is don't tip someone that performed a service that your not happy with because how is that person suppose to ever know. Also I
thought your business was doing so well how could you not have any money that's wierd. If you were wondering how my business works? Here it is when you deal with the public you can build your clients by advertising
everywhere without people knowing the work you do or in my case i have NEVER advertised and it's wierd that I am booked solid by appointment only and I do work people in between each other to make the most of my time, and my clients totally understand and have no problem and if they do they can go elsewhere I'm not meant to do everone's hair! I don't know if you've ever heard the term time is valuable but then again i can see why your not successful when you're spending your time slandering someone that is successful. I seriously feel sorry for you! By the way the client that i supposedly OVERPROCESSED (you probably shouldn't say things that you have now idea about!) has been coming to me for about 5 years and has always
beeen totally happy with her hair (hence the REPEAT client) And NO she didn't overprocess! Word of advice spend your time wisely! And I would suggest you take the info down off your website or there could be legal action takin! And for the money you spent getting your f'd up haircut that made you poor I feel so horrible that it put you under that I will be more than happy to reimburse I wouldn't want an unhappy customers. Next time maybe have enough maturity to confront the person before you take the low way out!!!! That actually made you look worse than me, it was pretty funny. Please call me if you have further comments or you would like to give me your address so i can send you your pathetic money back. Good luck in the
future at growing up, you are gettin up there. Figure it out now before it's to late!
With all due sincerity,
Bethany Taylor
Magnolia Hair Studio
#(760)433-6655 *give me a call sometime i'd love to chat or to give you some
business advice to help you grow:)
"


Good stuff, Bethany! I especially like how she starts out her whine-fest with, "So i'm not gonna be lame and immature...". Hahaha. Classic. This email from Bethany really did make me laugh outloud a few times. I love how someone that has known me for one hour of my entire life, flat out claims that they are more successful then me. Here's a tip, sweetheart: Read "The Millionaire Next Door". Perhaps that will give you a better perception of success. Also, one of my BIGGEST pet peeves are empty threats. Look up the meaning of "slander" before you use it. Or, at least hire a lawyer that knows what the fuck you really mean (hint, hint: libel).

I have 3 other friends that have received crappy haircuts/color from Bethany Taylor at Magnolia Hair Studio in Oceanside, California. But I think her email will be enough for people to read when they search the internet for Bethany or her facade of a "hair studio", and end up here, don't you?

In conclusion, a picture is worth a thousand words, so here is what you can expect from Bethany at Magnolia Hair Studio:



Or, if you'd prefer a good haircut:



I highly recommend Renee Africa at Bakerloo ( 760.434.3743 ) in Carlsbad.
