WEEKEND MYSTERY PHOTOS

Occasionally I will post photos that strike my fancy. I took this photo last evening and it definitely struck my fancy. The moody lights. The lines going up the road Terminator 2: Judgement Day-style. Very mysterious. Very ominous...

Have a great weekend and don't forget to watch Team Canada vs Team USA in the ultimate Olympic Hockey Death Match.

CREEPY ABANDONED LOS ANGELES HOSPITAL

I love that it's not the cliched Gothically designed hospital. It's the Anti-Arkham.

This summer I will be spending some quality time in one of the creepiest places in Los Angeles---A Hospital that's been abandoned since 1990. Hospitals give me the creeps when functional. Abandoned hospitals make my skin swarm. I can't help imagining the walls and the stories they could tell.

This is the kind of location that can't help but enhance the quality of your project. It reeks of twisted history just waiting to be funneled and distilled into a high-concept cinematic explosion of coolness. We're talking major-league Geek territory.

Sick corridor. An epic battle will take place here.

This room once housed the Riddler.

Love the creepy red door. Red doors symbolize death.

Potential torture chamber?

Looks like a room the Joker would feel comfortable in.

This room is right out of the Shining.

I'm getting A One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest Vibe.

That gurney looks like a medieval torture device.

Notice the triple 6's. A good sign or a bad omen?

Autopsy room looked pretty functional, which is kind of disturbing.

This is an uber cool project that will involve uber cool people. More news as it develops and firms up. One thing is for sure, this will be my love letter to my childhood passion. Can you guess what it is?

FAT JESUS WITH A SLINGSHOT IN VEGAS

Fat Jesus aka Mario Bros gone to seed.

My Brother-in-Law, who we dubbed Fat Jesus, tagged along with us in Vegas two weeks ago--and brought his slingshot. Who the F brings a slingshot to Vegas? Seriously? He said he never leaves home without some type of weapon. "You never know" -- was his response.

Not sure how a slingshot would help us in an emergency situation, unless we're throwing down with a toga clad Goliath. But I digress...

Thus, he found alternate uses for his beloved "weapon", such as, flinging ice pellets from the balcony in an attempt to hit unsuspecting victims below. Fortunately no one was seriously injured.

And that was the least of the weird shit he did during his sojourn in Las Vegas. But that's another story...

A good time was had by all. Very memorable.

CREEPY LAS VEGAS UNDERGROUND PARKING LOT

Especially creepy Las Vegas underground parking lot located beneath Ceasar's Palace. Very cinematic. Love the moody overhead lighting.

MY FAVORITE LAS VEGAS BUILDING

Lou Ruvo Alzheimer's Institute

I stumbled upon this awe-inspiring building during my weekend sojourn in Las Vegas. Another Frank Gehry masterpiece.

A scale model before the building was born.

It's a medical research facility.

Who knew people conducted medical research in the City of Sin?

VENICE BEACH THE STAR WARS CANTINA OF LA

Sailor Man setting sail... on asphalt.

Went to Venice Beach not long ago and we had the genius idea to bring my 4 Month old daughter. Not gonna happen again. I'm not sure if it's the economy or just the coming of the apocalypse but the freak quotient was higher and creepier than ever. We even saw a guy trying to sail his RV on concrete (see photo above). Let's just say the aroma of bud was in the air. My THC level probably quadrupled and that's just from walking down the stretch of Venice Beach that used to be cool. It has now become the Star Wars Cantina but not the George Lucas version-- the David Lynch version.

Maybe sailing isn't my thing.

But what really irked me was the sheer amount of small-dicked lunatics with hulking pitbulls they could barely contain. Straight-up freaks with their freakish dogs on a leash. What's the deal with little wiry guys and their pitbulls? Those malicious dogs bred for one purpose should be eradicated from the face of the earth. Suffice it to say that one to many of those extremely dangerous dogs came sniffing around the baby carriage making my blood boil.

It's the last time I take my baby there. Gonna stick to Santa Monica Promenade from here on out.
