I went ice skating today, it was a BLAST! My end of year review is coming soon since it's almost the end of the year. Fisch gave me two tracks for my solo EP. More on this later...here is your TAO OF THE WEEK...

"The greatest perfection seems imperfect, and yet it's use is inexhaustible. The greatest fullness seems empty, and yet it's use is endless. The greatest straightness looks like crookedness. The greatest skill appears clumsy. The greatest eloquence sounds like stammering. Restlessness overcomes cold, but calm overcomes heat. The peaceful and serene is the Norm of the World."
-Tao Teh Ching (Lao Tzu)

If I was a superhero I would be...Batman. No wait...Superman. Maybe Mr. Fantastic or Wolverine. No I got it...ULTRACHRIST! Check the tagline at the top "get ready for a whole new christ!". Maybe I'm feeling guilty because I should be at midnight mass tonight...MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!  

Now really...would you take anything at all from this guy? I'm not talking about GEE WHIZ but this dude. That phony beard and 'stache scream second hand Halloween discount. 2 more days til Christmas.  

Elektra and the lights at Temple Square (taken 12/22/05). 

Don't call it a comeback, I've been here for years! 3 days to go.  

"By the power of Grayskull...I have the power!!!" Only 4 more days until Christmas. I hope Santa brings me some of that BOD spray. Looks like this guy could use some of it as well. Those are some biblical washboard abs.  

This guy rocks! I wonder if he knows "Freebird"? 5 more days to Christmas...

Raymond P, ME and The Rooster! @ ABG's in Provo, UTAH last night. The gig was cool...some peeps even made the commute down from the S-L-C to check the show. Rick filled in for Shanty who was reppin' the L-S. This one was for PENELOPE!  

Ok, so two players from the Utah Jazz got in a bar fight this past weekend and gave FAKE names to La Local Policia. Deron Williams is now Tory Ellis. Robert Whaley will be known as Bobby Williams. I give Deron some credit for Torey but all Whaley can come up with is mish mash of his first name and Derons last? For me NOTHING beats Ron Mexico. I saw Narnia 2 nights ago, I give it 3.5 out of 5. Some really good old school Disney weirdness, scariness to it but some of the CGI effects were kooky. Aslan was dope and Edmond was exactly how I pictured him in the book. Oh, how I enjoy that Turkish Delight. Busy weekend ahead...tomorrow I Co-Op @ Elektra's school, Friday I work from 7am-11pm and gots me a show on Saturday night. No rest for the wicked 

If you want to be called on you MUST raise your hand. Man, it was a hectic weekend. Two shows, One Christmas party, Narnia & my 9-5. Strike while the iron is hot right? We got another Rotten gig coming up this weekend and as a matter of fact I'm heading off to the Kinko's in downtown SLC to print off some flyers right now. My 2005 Wizeguy Year In Review will be hitting the blog the week of Dec 26th. I will post on all of the days of that week with such items as Best Movies, Best CD's, Bottom 10 and so on...It will be a blast! Take care yall...I'm off into the cold.  

I saw Milt Palachio this past Wednesday at the downtown Salt Lake City Supersonic (car detailing place). I didn't want to make a big scene so when I was walking out the door I told him to keep ballin' and the Jazz will break out of their slump. He said "Thanks man". Well, I guess it worked against Portland but right now the Supersonics are beating them. We got a Rotten Musicians show tonight and tomorrow night. Maybe Milt and AK will drop by after the game...Ok, maybe not.  

It is a complete BLIZZARD in the S-L-C! Pull out those hoodies and beanies. It's like Sundance Film Fest cold outside. 

Take aim...Well, I got the Blazer back and I can finally get from place to place again. This is the game on my PSP that I'm currently rockin' GTA Liberty City Stories. Oh yeah...pick up Talib Kwelis "Right About Now". One of the best CD's to come out in '05.  

Ok...so it's not the end of the world, but it's pretty damn close. My toliet exploded at 4am this morning! and no...I was not on it when it happened. I woke up to my neighbor downstairs yelling "Turn the water off Mark". I thought I was dreaming...I went into the bathroom and there was water flowing from the toliet bowl. I went into panic mode. I grabbed some towels and blankets and set up a perimeter to keep the FOWL water in the bathrom. Then I pulled off the top to it...bad idea. Water was squirting all over the place...the floor, my face, the walls ETC. I went to turn off the water supply to the bowl and the DAMN knob wasn't there...it looks like this has happened before and the last peeps in this unit probably took it as a souvenier of destruction. I ran out of mess and phoned my landlord. It's a good thing that Jason the fix it guy lives in my complex. He had the water shut off in like 5 minutes. Crazy times! Oh yeah...my vehicle should be done by Monday and so yes...I will be selling 1) my soul or 2) myself on State Street. Watch out SLC...
