Shades of Gray #1

Welcome one and and all to the first ever daily blog on epicdelrio.com, Shades of Gray. I of course am your host JGray and I will be bringing you rants, raves, reviews, bits of news and other shit from around the world and generally giving everyone a piece of my mind. Now that the introductions are through, no I don’t care to know who you are, let’s do this thing.

I wanted to start out with something a little light hearted that many of you may not have heard about, New England Patriots cheerleader Caitlin Davis. Young Miss Davis was shit-canned from her weekend gig making drunk fat dudes drool hot dog bits on themselves because photos surfaced online of her posing with some passed out guy in her dorm room. At first glance the photo is harmless(and at glances 2 through 617 by the way) it’s college after all. Take a look for yourself. The thing that got her canned is the tiny little swastika on dudes chin, Caitlin claims she didn’t see it and dammit I believe her! I do however understand that you cannot have your team associated with swastikas in any way, especially when the owner of this team is a sponsor of the Israeli Football League. It’s just a damn shame because now we have to miss out on good, clean American fun like this.

I was reading about the 8 year old boy in St. John’s Arizona who apparently murdered his Dad and Dad’s friend and I started to wonder what was going on in that house. A kid who has never had any disciplinary problems in school, never been considered a trouble maker, just one day pops his Pops and another dude? Sad as it sounds I think we’re going to find out he’s been being molested by either his father or the other guy, or maybe Dad and his “friend” were messing around and Jr. didn’t like that. No matter what happened it’s a sad story for this little boy and I can’t help thinking that Joe Arpaio totally wishes this had happened in his county so he could have press conferences and talk about how he would whip this boy into shape and get on TV and have his Sheriff’s cup his testicles oh so gently while he watches old re-runs of Gomer Pyle and…. Sorry, got a bit off track there.

I wanna give a big shout out to the chick in Prescott who attacked by a rabid Fox and then ran 1 mile to her car, threw that bitch in the trunk and drove herself to the hospital. No city girl could have pulled that shit off.

1980 something

I was sitting down eating a bowl of one of my all time favorite cereals the other day and started thinking about all the bad-ass cereals I liked as a kid. Awesome cereal and Saturday morning cartoons went hand in hand in the 80’s where every show was just a thirty minute toy commercial and I was so hopped up on sugar I would think I was Ram-Man and run full speed head first into my brother/a wall/anything that was bigger than me. I of course loved the classic mass produced cereals that were so common but I had a real love for the specialty cereals, the ones that were spawned from movies and cartoons and what not. In honor of all this, I give to you my top 25 cereals of all time. (In no particular order.)

G.I. Joe Action Stars(1985): My favorite cartoon and toy was now available to eat! Perfect for those long days of batting the evil forces of COBRA.

Ghostbusters cereal(1985): Another awesome specialty cereal, fruity rings and marshmallows with no sign of Slimer.

Nintendo Cereal System(1988): When this cereal came out I was so into Nintendo you wouldn’t believe. I marked out like a little girl when I saw this shit and ate it every day for like two years.

Fruit Islands(1987): These were bomb, think cookie crisp but fruit flavored. Their character was King Ayummayumma and he was a fat son of a bitch. I loved this cereal for the short time it was out but I had to eat it secretly. My brother would always call me yumma yumma whenever he saw me, insinuating that I too was a fat son of a bitch. The last I ever saw of the king and his manservant Ha Ha, they were lost at sea trying to find their way back to the islands, a commercial cliffhanger that was never resolved. I imagine that fat fuck is still lost.

Nerds(1985): Nerds for breakfast sounded like the greatest idea ever. It was in fact not the greatest idea ever but damn close. 2 sides of the box with two flavors, just like the candy. Brilliant.

I have decided to break this up into segments of five or else this will be the longest blog ever.

Stay tuned for the next exciting installment!

D.U.I.

In November of 2001 the Arizona Diamondbacks were playing in the World Series against the New York Yankees. It was one of the greatest series ever played, going back and forth until the very end. I was watching game 4 with my friend Matt at a great bar called Teakwoods in Chandler. Diamondbacks pitcher Byun Hun Kim blew the game for the second consecutive night and we were pissed. So pissed we decided the only thing to do was drink several pitchers of beer and as many Patron shots as possible. Once we decided that we had drank enough to sufficiently drive home without remembering any of the ride, we left Teakwoods in Matt’s truck. Upon our arrival at the house I promptly threw my roommate Chris out of his chair at the computer and into a wall, this of course being the proper way to greet a friend when hammered off tequila. Several people were at the house having a great time, lots of friends, lots of ladies. Matt passed out as soon as he hit the couch, I on the other hand was ready to party. One of my roommates, Melissa, took me aside to tell me about a conversation she had with my ex girlfriend and how she had cheated on me several times. This news upset me, so when I was offered the chance to go home with a couple of girl’s who were rolling on E I naturally accepted. I didn’t want to ride with the girls for fear of being stuck somewhere if it got uncomfortable or lame, so I decided to drive. My car was blocked in by several others, so I took Matt’s keys, a couple beers and off I went. By the time I realized what was going on I was almost to the girl’s place. I was doing 75 down Ray Rd. and listening to Hed(pe). I noticed how fast I was going and slowed it down to 50, then I tilted my head back to enjoy my frosty beverage and noticed a Police cruiser right behind me. BWEEEOOOOO! went the siren and flashing lights. Crap! He’ll never let me finish this second beer, I thought to myself. I pulled over and the officer asked for license and registration, stupid question since I had neither with me. The officer asked me about the strange multi colored glass jar he had seen fall from the glove compartment while I was searching for Matt’s Insurance info. “You never mind that, it’s not important” I told the piggy. He asked me out of the truck and I obliged. He asked me to step to the back of the truck and I obliged. He asked me to walked a straight line and I almost fell over. I casually leaned back against the truck and inquired if I were to admit being drunk would I still have to play all these silly games and he said “no, just turn around so I can put these handcuffs on you.” HA HA! I win! Wait, no I think I may have screwed myself.

The officer went back to the truck and poured out my open beer and left the full one on the sidewalk, my only consolation was the thought it would still be there waiting for me whenever I could come back.(It wasn’t, by the way) He also opened the glove compartment to find the glass jar, opened it and took a healthy wiff of it’s contents. When he came back to the car he told me he knew what was kept in there, “blueberry jam?” I asked. “If that’s what they’re calling it these days, he said. During this time the two girls on E must have wondered where I was because they showed up looking for me. Not satisfied with me being under arrest they decided to talk to the officer and try to get him to let me go. Not a good idea. One girl tried flashing him while the other tried rubbing on his arm, I’m pretty sure she was trying to steal his gun but it was dark and I was drunk. The girls failed in freeing me and the officer sent them on their way, I was going to jail!

To be continued….

Good Days, Bad Days

You know, some days are just better than others. Some suck collossal cock and some just plain fucking rule. Some days are like having a diseased hooker shit all over your dick when you pull out of her ass and now you’re pissed off cause you’ve got hooker feces all over your balls and stuck to your leg and you gotta go back to work or school or your girlfriend’s or wherever. Then you’ve got to kill the hooker because at this point it’s a matter of principal, I mean you can’t just let hookers get away with shitting all over your dick(unless you’re into that sort of thing, then you probably gotta pay extra, you sick fuck). Your day just gets worse because guess what? The fucking shower at the No-Tell Motel you picked has plumbing problems and the shower doesn’t work. FUCK! So there you are, driving down the street, crotch reeking of excrement, hands covered in blood and a decapitated hooker in your trunk. Then it hits you, this is going to be one hell of a story to tell the grandkids, and you start to feel better. All of a sudden life doesn’t seem so bad and you realize that tomorrow is just another day away. Or you get caught and then you might be shitting all over Tyrone’s cock in the pen.

My Guide to being Unemployed

I recently resigned from work and have had a lot of time on my hands, I thought I might share some of the things that help make being unemployed a little more bearable.

First things first, weekends mean nothing, there’s no end to anything, just two more days exactly like the previous five. Showers are suddenly less more important and only necessary when you finally gross yourself out or your girlfriend says something about your rankness. Video games fill the void left from not having a job, this means they become much more important than they possibly should and they start to feel like work. “Shit, if I don’t get at least six games of Madden in today I’ll be behind schedule and never make the Superbowl by Thursday, I’d better pull an all-nighter.” Beer tastes so much better at 9:30am. Meals generally consist of some sort of chip. Afternoon television still sucks ass, even in this day and age. You usually call your friends at weird times just to see what they’re up to. They are usually annoyed and answer with either “working” or “sleeping”. The concept of daylight savings time becomes even less of a factor. Spending money becomes much less desirable.  You start thinking of “projects” because you are so bored, I have a strong desire to build something right now. Waking up at noon and taking a nap at 2:30 is more than acceptable. The internet is SO much fun, the only thing better than being unemployed is seeing what other unemployed people do with their time. You still don’t write all those emails you’ve been meaning to get to. The pizza delivery guy rarely wants to hang out.

All in all, being unemployed can be enjoyable, just make sure it doesn’t last too long.

Things to Ponder…..

Number 10 – Life is sexually transmitted.
Number 9 – Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which One can die.
Number 8 – Men have two emotions: Hungry and Horny. If you see him Without an erection, make him a sandwich.
Number 7 – Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day; teach a Person to use the Internet and they won’t bother you for weeks.
Number 6 – Some people are like a Slinky…not really good for Anything, but you still can’t help but smile when you see one tumble Down the stairs.
Number 5 – Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in Hospitals dying of nothing.
Number 4 – All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no Attention to criticism.
Number 3 – Why does a slight tax increase cost you two hundred dollars And a substantial tax cut saves you thirty cents?
Number 2 – In the 60’s, people took acid to make the world weird. Now The world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.
AND THE NUMBER 1 THOUGHT FOR 2007: We know exactly where one cow with Mad-cow-disease is located among the millions and millions of cows in America but we haven’t got a clue as to where thousands of illegal Immigrants and terrorists are located. Maybe we should put the Department of Agriculture in charge of immigration.

Welcome to the ThunderBlog-Cubs Games, Pouring Rain and Otter Porn

I recently embarked on a pimp ass trip to the windy city of Chicago for a vacation of extreme relaxation and a couple of Cubs games.

My vacation began by staying up until 1am and then getting back up at 4 so I could be ready for my ride which was to pick me up at 5. Luckily for me my ride didn’t wake up for his 45 minute drive to my house until 5:30 so I had plenty of time to sit around and wait. A quick trip to the airport ensued where I was advised my bag was too heavy and I would need to pay $50 for the airline to take my luggage, I was not pleased. Upon boarding the plane we were advised there was a “minor” problem that would take a few “minutes” to fix. We then were advised that the problem was a little bigger than they thought and they had to wake up the head maintenance engineer at home and ask him how to fix it. Several minutes later we were advised that it would take at least an hour to fix. Several minutes later we advised that we would have to switch planes because the one we were on was completely fucked. After boarding our second plane and waiting roughly another hour we were airborn and soon “treated” to a showing of Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer. I drank plenty of Gin and Tonics and finally arrived in Chicago. Our hotel was pimp as could be and Wrigley Field just as magical as I remembered it, oh yeah, Cubs won! Day two started with room service and breakfast in bed, almost. Room service brought my girlfriends breakfast but didn’t even bother to make mine, a call to the kitchen and an hour later and I was enjoying eggs benedict while watching Sportscenter. Game two was a day game that the Cubs were winning in the ninth inning thanks to two Alphonso Soriano homeruns. Ryan “Garbage” Dempster came in to close it out but decided giving up 4 runs and losing the game would be a much better idea. (Oh yeah, I forgot, riding the L-Train is quite convenient but totally sucks ass.) Our Benefactor for the trip, Barry”fucking Barry” Mortough, hooked it up so we could get into the mack daddy Foundation Room at the House of Blues and we drank in style whilst some shitty funk band from England wore horrible Pleather pants and piano key neckties and tried to hit on drunk sluts with giant beachball like plastic boobs. The Brits struck out. Hard. I laughed. “Ha ha ha” Laughed Jason. We were also given free tickets to the Macy Gray concert that was going on, we checked it out for two minutes before we remembered that Macy Gray sucks ass.

Day three was a whirlwind tour of the Shedd Aquarium and the Herd Museum. The aquarium is expensive as shit to walk around and look at fish, but still pretty interesting. They have an anaconda slightly larger than SideBobs, a whale, dolphins and my favorite, The sea otters. The otters were pretty indifferent to the fact that we were watching them frolic and swim and play. So indifferent in fact that one of them began to bathe himself in front of us and then pleasure himself in ways no man could ever. I wondered if he was just showing off or trying to impress my girl, either way, I had enough and we left. Off to the museum for lunch and old stuff, speaking of old stuff, the second Cubs game we went to had more geriatrics than Joseph’s High School reunion. The coolest part of the museum were the dinosaurs, truly freaking cool to think they used to cruise around the same spots we do now. After the museum kicked us out we waited in line for a cab. Holly looked to the sky which was glooming with storm clouds and asked if I thought it would rain on us. Thinking of all the “good” luck we had been having I answered yes. 1 minute later it was pouring like Niagara Falls. We were the only two in Chicago without an umbrella but we laughed it off pretty good, it was only water after all.

The last part about the umbrella brings me to another story. As we were exiting the subway station one day, we were startled by a loud “wooooo!” I turned around and saw this stupid looking “thug” and his mud duck girlfriend, they must have had nine teeth combined. As the “thug” got to the top of the subway stairs he started yelling how it smelled like “boo boo” up in here. Not “doo doo”. “boo boo”. I was confused, especially when I realized this “thug” was carrying an umbrella, odd thug accessory I thought. Odd until I noticed all the thugs carried umbrellas in Chicago. I imagined a typical day for a Chi-Town thug might go like this:

Thug 1: “Yo dog, you ready to ride on these fools?” Thug 2: “Fo sho son, these niggas is….hold up dog, looks like rain, lemme grab my umbrella.” Thug 1: “Good looking out homie, I ain’t supposed to get water on this new jacket, moms would trip.”

Any way, we partied with Barry, met some cool people from California and ended up at the Foundation Room again where Holly became like cocoa butter to the black men, they were drawn to her like moths to a flame. It was all “hey baby” this and “yo baby” that. One mother fucker had the nerve to wait until I went to the bar to get drinks to go over and mack, I came back as he was kissing her hand. The same damn hand I kiss! As soon as he saw me back he scampered away. It was all pretty funny. The next day we went to Navy Pier and Millenium Park, both pretty cool places. The airline then called and said our flight was cancelled and we would have to wait until the following morning to leave. That didn’t sit well with me so I told them to find us another flight, they had one left and it was leaving in an hour. We hauled ass back to the hotel, grabbed our shit and boned out in a taxi. The cabbie was the worst ever, all durka durka and what not. He wouldn’t point the AC back to us, drove slow as hell and swerved all over the place, narrowly missing walls, cars and pedestrians. We made it to the airport, barely got our luggage checked in time and booked it to security. Security didn’t like me or my laptop, I had to send Holly ahead and deal with the pricks. I finally got through and track-starred my way through the terminal, moving at speeds I hadn’t voluntarily forced myself to go since high school. I arrived at the gate just as they were closing the gate, VICTORY! Only one problem, no Holly, and I had the boarding passes. She showed up soon after and we were off. One hell of a trip, I can’t wait to go back.

As a side note, I would like to address the completely unfound rumors that I have contracted a viscous strain of Vaginitis. I would like to confirm to my family, friends and fans that nothing could be further from the truth and I will fight these rumors to the bitter end. I have gone to great lengths to study the Vaginitis disease and it’s origins. Many may be surprised to find that Vaginitis typically occurs when a male grows his hair to female like length. I have found examples we can examine for our little case study. Mr. Smithenoza has tried to disguise the fact that he is a carrier by cutting his hair short but this was done in vain, his Vaginitis is so extreme that he actually SOUNDS like a pussy whenever he speaks. By the way, your black eye is neither from falling down, being punched or being beaten up by lime juice. The shocking truth is Mr. Smithenoza got the bruise in question by pressing his eye so hard into the microscope trying to find his own penis.

Mr. SideBob has tried to draw attention away from his Vaginitis by super gluing an elephants trunk to his crotch but alas, his massive vagina shines loud and proud with each pedicure, hair highlight and facial he pays hundreds of dollars for. These Manginas need our help people. Let’s send our prayers, and most importantly our money to:

Stupefaction Guaranteed

There are certain times in life when things sort of go in slow motion and you wonder to yourself “what am I doing here?”

I had one of these moments this past Saturday evening just before I became a member of the Stuntman Crew. After snorting a healthy amount of salt up my nose, shooting some tequila and squirting lime juice in my eye I realized that stupidity truly knows no bounds.

I once rode a child’s Razor Scooter off the roof of my house into a 4 and a half foot deep pool, it was dark on the roof and I didn’t see the lip on the edge. I went head first into that pool. I climbed back on the roof to do it again because I didn’t get my trick right. Not quite as stupid as doing a stuntman.

scooter

I once got really drunk at a WWF wrestling event and rushed the ring. I tripped while hurdling the barricade and landed face first on the floor, when I put my hand on the ring to get up a wrestler by the name of the Undertaker put his foot on my shoulder right at the joint and dropped all his weight down dislocating said shoulder. It still hurts to this day. Not quite as stupid as doing a Stuntman. (But damn close.)

I once (while drunk) told a girl I was dating that I would definitely fuck her sister if given the opportunity. Pretty much a tie with doing a Stuntman.

carrie

I figured the older I got the less stupid things I would do. What I’ve realized is, I am a man which means I will ALWAYS find something stupid to do. If I cannot find something stupid to do I can always count on my friends to find something stupid to do. At least life isn’t boring.

Hillary Clinton. President?

Hillary Clinton is well on her way to winning the Democratic nomination. Holy bad fucking idea Batman. I’ve always said I believe we would have a female President before a black one and I don’t think it should be that way. Not that a woman isn’t capable of running the country but you gotta see how it makes us look in the eyes of the world. All these fucked up countries we have to deal with don’t respect women for shit. Do you really think that the Grand Sheik of _______(insert unpronouncable country here) is gonna come have a sit down and talk man business with a woman he feels is slightly below fingernail clippings on the evolutionary chart? FUCK NO! It’s unfortunate, but that’s the way it is. We will look weak and we will be attacked and bombed and all kinds of shit within a year.
That’s why, in my opinion, if we’re going to go in a totally new direction we need a black President. Not a Colin Powell or a Jesse Jackson or an Al Sharpton…..well, maybe Al Sharpton. He is kinda gangster.
No, we need a no nonsense, shut the fuck up before I smack a bitch President.
We need a President Shaft, or a President Dolemite, or a motherfuckin’ President Sam Jackson motherfucker! “Tat, Tat, Tat, what the fuck man?!”
Apparently experience is not really a factor, Hillary has only been a Senator for a few years. That’s pretty much the political equivalent of “No, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.”
Seriously, a black white house would make an entire planet shit their pants in fear. Even black people are afraid of black people running the country.
But come on now, who isn’t ready to hear a P Diddy Hail to the Cheif remix? Or a speach that vows to put a 40 in every fridge and a nine in every waistband? Think about it, the 1st and 15th would become National holidays, work would become optional and traveling would become much easier once every street in America is changed to MLK Blvd.
Jokes aside, Hillary is not the woman to try this experiment with. Come on, she’s the same lady who couldn’t catch Bill banging bitches in the room next door. Now she’s gonna be way too busy to keep an eye what he’s doing. Dude’s gonna be having Girls Gone Wild foam parties in the West Wing while she’s at global warming summits with Al.
A woman President will happen someday, and it should. But this is the wrong time in history for it.

Paid for by the motherfuckin’ commitee to get motherfuckin’ Samuel L. Jackson in motherfuckin’ office. Motherfucker.
