Christmas… the final chapter… gifts…

Posted on January 8, 2016 by pouringmyartout

a 1

Not only did my older daughter get me blacksmithing lessons for Christmas… but she had a friend of hers do this awesome picture of me… as a blacksmith… reforging the sword that was broken from The Lord Of The Rings… HA!!!

a 2

I mean, how freekin’ cool is that?

a 3

And once again, if the blacksmithing gig doesn’t work out, I will be ready for my new career as a creepy serial killer. My older daughter also got me a cool wooden skull… with a clock in its mouth. I love that kid.

a 4

But my wife and younger daughter got me a new electric guitar… and that awesome kimono I showed you in that fashion show post I did.

Anywho… that is pretty much it for the photos of our trip to spend Christmas in the Bay Area with my mom and brothers and nieces and nephews and so on.

I will leave you with one last photo… of a sunrise… that I took in our backyard here in San Diego just a few days ago…

I promised you a fashion show…

And have I ever let you down??? There I am, at my mom’s house in the Bay Area, on Christmas morning… wearing my new Japanese kimono! My wife found it… somewhere… and it is actually made in Japan… which is cool… and a little weird… because I am 6 feet 4 inches tall… so somewhere in Japan, right now, a sumo wrestler is running around naked…

Hey… don’t judge me and my weird family… we have this tradition of giving matching pajamas or funny boxer shorts… okay, you can judge a little. But before you do, you should really do a search going back to the Christmas where me and my brothers all got matching feety-jammies… I did a whole series of posts about it… and then did some funny Photoshop pictures… of things like a Star Wars sleepover, and Nazis in feety-jammies…just type: ‘feety jammies’ in the search bar and see what happens. And it could always be worse… my older daughter’s boyfriend ended up with a matching set of Grinch boxer shorts and hat.

Oh… and I may have mentioned this before now… but I am going to take blacksmithing lessons!!! My older daughter, Jessica, is not only setting that up for me, but she got me all the gear too… the leather apron, the 3-pound hammer, goggle and gloves… and if the blacksmithing doesn’t work out, I can always become a crazed serial killer.

a 4

Oh, and this is what happens when you wear a wool watch cap to a beach cleanup in San Francisco, and then keep the hat on all day long…

a 5

Admit it… the reason you like me is because I am willing to share pictures of myself like this with you… right?

Star Wars spoilers… (but not really)… part 1…

Posted on January 4, 2016 by pouringmyartout

I went and saw the new Star Wars movie finally… and I had no idea that the storm troopers were allowed such artistic freedom of choice when it came to adding flourishes to their uniforms!

And now, some random pictures of the Golden Gate…

a 1

Because, you know, we were there over the holidays, on the other side of the bay… at my mom’s house…

a 2

But we took time out to clean up a beach, and play with our Godson, and whatnot.

a 3

And really, can you ever get sick of looking at that bridge?

a 4

Even though, for some weird reason, it is still the most popular place to commit suicide on the entire planet.

a 5

Which is stupid… because that water is freekin’ cold!

And sometimes, life is all just about getting poked with a stick…

While we were in the Bay Area for the holidays, we went and saw our Godson, Willie, and his parents, in San Francisco.

a 3

Willie’s mom was organizing volunteers for another beach cleanup, a thing she is very active in. In the distance, on the left, you can see my older daughter, Jessica, and her boyfriend, Jason, cleaning up the world one bucketful at a time.

a 4 I also spotted this cute little shorebird.

a 5 I find it fascinating that birds are so specialized… that there are birds that find all their food in that strange, shifting place between the land and the sea.
