I would go with Adrienne Laflamme because her last name sounds like it is French for hot fucking bitch and also because the first lady looks like Chris Farley kind of.

In my opinion, while in modern day a very high profile and famous figure of the culture, a pioneer of the street art movement who really did fight the powers that be.

Tony Max: Partially Blind Screenprinter and Painter

"To make ugly art is easy. To make art that is beautiful – so beautiful that people will buy it with their hard-earned money, exhibit it proudly and cherish it – now that is a challenge."
––Tony Max



"I was born legally blind in London, Ontario, Canada, having only ten percent of normal vision. I was enthusiastic about art, writing and music at an early age. My blindness was cured by cataract surgery as a teenager. As a result of the surgeries I contracted glaucoma in 1989 and have had three retinal detachments.

My vision is still impaired. I take eye drops twice a day and have frequent checkups with my ophthalmologist.

Much of my art portrays the beauty of west coast, where I live, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

My art captures the beautiful and vivid aspects of nature, emphasizing harmonious colours, patterns and dramatic compositions.

My art is in private collections in at least 16 countries, including Canada, the United States, Mexico, England, Scotland, Spain, France, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Chile, Japan, China, South Korea, Malaysia and Australia.

I studied fine art for one year at Fanshawe College in my home city of London, Ontario.
Realizing that I would be unfulfilled and unable to make a living by doing the kind of modern art that was encouraged there, I dropped out of the art program at the college after the first year.

I applied to the journalism programs at several colleges and universities in Ontario, and was accepted at all of them.

I moved to Toronto and enrolled in the journalism program at Ryerson University, which – along with Carleton – vied for the position of top journalism school in Canada.

Only a small percentage of the applicants were accepted into the journalism program at Ryerson. I believe that my applications were accepted by Ryerson University and the colleges I applied to because I had an excellent portfolio to show to the interviewer at the university. The portfolio was based on the clippings I had gathered of the articles and photographs I had made for the student newspaper during some of my spare time when I was a fine art student at Fanshawe College in London, Ontario.

During some of my spare time as a journalism student, I began painting and silkscreening some of my fine art images. Also when I was still a journalism student, I had my first group show (in 1980) at the now defunct Del Bello Gallery in Toronto, and (in 1981) my first solo show, also at the Del Bello Gallery.

For several years my preferred medium was heavy-body acrylics. I've also printed several serigraph (silkscreen) editions by hand. Additionally, I've tried traditional oils, watercolours, gouache, pastels, pencils, pencil crayons, markers, stone lithography, etching, mezzotint, woodcut, airbrushing and fluid acrylics.

I now paint exclusively with water-mixable oil, because I find that it's the least difficult medium of those I've tried, it gives the most pleasing results, its longevity is long, its toxicity is low, the colours can be vibrant, mistakes can be painted over and the paint can be reworked longer than acrylics."

Three Things To Pray For

From the archives...

This was around October 2007. It was taken at Intern's record release party for his solo hip hop CD "SHAZAAM KAZAAM AND DAMN."

Spotted: ABCNT

I spotted this shit on a dumpster one of the toughest neighborhoods in Los Angeles. The police don't even go through the zone it's located at night. I risked getting my ribs cracked to snap this.

X-Files Episode Review: "Tooms"

As some on the crew may or may not know, I fucking love the X Files and I refer to it as smack. I do this because if I could cook it on a spoon I would, but since I can't I spend many days watching the DVDs like a tool.

As I go through the series, I will post reviews of noteworthy episodes. Maybe they will incite your interest in watching them, maybe you've seen them, or maybe not.

Mike C hates on the X Files so fucking hard I don't know what his problem is.

The first episode to get a shout out is TOOMS. This is because it reminds me of this one time I went Chinese Buffet with Brandy.



TOOMS is the 21st episode of the first season. It's about a Eugene Tooms, a human with a genetic mutation that has to eat 5 human livers to stay alive then hibernates for 30 years in a cocoon. Even though that is completely fucking stealing the entite plot of STEPHEN KING'S IT (as well as Mike C's 8th grade graduation dance), the episode as a whole is still pretty hard.

Tooms can squeeze into small spaces and shrink and stretch.

This episode is actually a sequel to a previous episode, SQUUEZE, where Tooms tried to eat agent Scully's liver. Luckily she is a bad bitch so he didn't get to do it, but now he is back for more liver snatching.
