True Tales from Da Eastside

So today in the hallway, while I had my laundry basket in hand, one of my strange neighbours speaks to me. He says “Today is a good day.” I didn’t know what he was on about, it was cold, I had to go up the street to do the laundry, but he persists “Today is a good day, the charges against me got dropped.”

What do you say to that?

I didn’t say much just shrugged my shoulders and walked down the stairs.

In other news the old Chinese guy who owns the laundromat remembered my name and added me to his list of regular customers.

Ephin

EPHIN

This post is going to be short and sweet. A full post would require hours of research to scale down everything that Ephin has done for our scene.

I wanted to let the world know, Ephin is great.
They gave me my first break and put me on to this game I am now in. They believed in a brotha.
They are doing big things and I hope them great success!

You can find more of their great stuff online at ephin.com

It's Always Sunny On Sunday

I’ve yet to catch any of the 6th season but this is quite possibly my favorite show. And there’s nothing better than spending your Sunday evening with your friends, watching old episodes with a 30 pack of Kokanee and a bottle of Akvavit.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. Search for it yourself. Charlie is the best fuckn character. DeVito is ridiculous. Fred Savage directs a lot of it. Really. Damn.
