Nasty with a capital N!

So I go in to the bathroom this morning, blow my nose and flush it down the toilet only to have the toilet back up and fill with "poo-water". It was totally nasty. I tried plunging it a lot this morning but had to leave to go to work and figured I would just deal with it when I got home. At work I jokingly said, "Watch, when I get home my downstairs is going to be flooded." Sure enough. I get home and find water dripping from the ceiling. FUCK! I called Roto-Rooter and thats where it gets real nasty. The guy shows up and assesses the situation, goes out to his truck and comes back in with a snake, 1 rubber glove and 1 leather glove... As he puts on the latex glove he explains how he doesn't really get too many infections or sick that much any more and proceeds to shove his hands into the toilet full of "poo-water"! What the hell was the one glove for? At this point there is "poo-water" splashing on all of the walls and worst of all, all over the guy. I saw him a few times wipe his forehead with his shoulder like he was sweating but I know it was the nasty water that had splashed up on his face. I cant even tell this story anymore. After all was said and done, $283 and a mess to clean up. I guess it could have been worse.

On Faction

A little clip from the Jason Ellis show today talking about our vegas trip. WOW! I didnt realize thats who that was.. Again, WOW!

Ellis Shoot

Tomorrow I am going to be in LA doing a photo shoot with Jason Ellis. It will probably finish with shooting pics in the studio and hanging out on the radio show for a while.. If you have Sirius Satelite Radio, be sure and check out the Jason Ellis show tomorrow at 12pm (3pm east).

The infamous "Blue M"

I am now convinced that I almost had a heart attack from drinking a double Monster before going to bed lastnight. Well, I guess it could have had a little something to do with the 6 Grey Goose on the rocks that I had and the can of sugar free RedBull. Come to think of it maybe it was just the RedBull. Hmmmm. Well regardless, Im giving it all up. No more energy drinks for me. I couldnt sleep lastnight and my heart felt like it was going to come out of my chest and I now have theses odd chest pains! Hopefully they go away.

Rockin Robin

This weekend Robin and I shot some funny footage of her rockin on the guitar, banging on some toys, playing the piano, tamborine and singing and chopped it into a little video clip. I am planning on doing a video like this a couple times a month so we can look back on them further down the line and see how she has grown.. Check it out

On the Ellis Show again

Seems to be happening more and more these days. On Friday I was at the QBN Sessions that were held at the Getty Center. The sessions themselves were pretty good and I really enjoyed listening to Mike Muller, the guy is completely down to earth and you can tell that he is genuinely excited to be doing the work that he is. I couldn't take an entire day at the sessions so I took off a little early and headed over to the Jason Ellis Show.

first post from my new iphone

this is the first post from my new iPhone. So far it kicks ass. At first I didn't think that it was going to be very easy to type on but I am now finding out that it isn't all that bad. I am pretty w
excited about this!

Midnight Puke!

Wow! I've always heard about things like this happening to others but I haven't had the joy of experiencing it first-hand until tonight. While laying in bed, Robin got really hot all of a sudden and started puking everywhere, like Exorcist style! She seems to be ok now. What a wild ride that was!!! Now I know what people have been talking about all this time. There really is nothing like cleaning puke off the floor and out of your daughters hair at midnight.

New Ellis Logo

I just got done with a new logo for EllisMate Skateboards..
Check it out

Las Vegas

I just went to Las Vegas with Ellis and met up with PLG, Jake "Sick Cunt" Brown!!! (haha) and Kit Cope. Had a great time. Hung out at the HardRock, went to the UFC fight and sat in Hart and Huntington for 9 hours while Ellis got his arm finished. All in all it was a pretty good weekend. I dont understand how I pulled off only having one drink the entire time we were there but I did!

Myspace...

Damn Myspace, the other day I clicked a comedy video on someones page and in doing so I opened up a can of worms. This seems to be a virus type action that leaves a comment on everyone of your friends pages. The bad thing is that the comment my little problem left was a porn clip. If you got one, sorry. It wasn't me. (I know, I know, famous last words!)

Starting work on teamellismate.com

Today I started working on Jason Ellis' website that is dedicated to his radio show on Sirius 28 Faction, teamellismate.com.
I am hoping to have it up and running by tomorrow evening. I will update as soon as the site is posted. Check out his radio show from Noon to 4pm pacific on Sirius 28 Faction.

New Jason Ellis Websites

I just talked with Jason and it is now official, I am going to be taking over his 2 websites ( ellismate.com and teamellismate.com) and completely redesigning and maintaining them. :o)

Website is up...

It took a little longer than I had thought but the new website is up. I am still posting to the gallery sections and plan on having all of them updated by the end of the day. Till then, later!

At the XGames

Tonight Nikki and I were at the Staples Center watching the Big Air practice. I did the graphics for the bottom of Jason Ellis' boards that he is going to skate in the competition. It was pretty cool, we were sitting with all of the friends and family of all of the skaters. There were a couple other people there that I got to meet as well, Jake Brown, Mike 'Rooftop' Escamilla, Atiba, and Sal Masekela to name a few. It was pretty cool, kinda made me think, "What if I would have never quit skating?" Oh well, good luck Ellis.

ryansteely.com

I have been working to finish my webiste all day long. I am very close and hope to have it at least done enough to post tonight.

Lego Land

We just got back from our vaction in San Diego and if you ever thought about going to Lego Land, dont. It was a big disappointment. It is pretty expensive to get in and once you are inside the park, it seems like you have to pay for everything.
SeaWorld on the other hand was great. Everyone had a great time, even the little ones. It doesn't matter how old you get or how cool you try to be, when you see Shamu and dolphins doing a bunch of flips and tricks you can't help but feel like a little kid again.

Hangin with Jason Ellis

Lastnight I had the opportunity to hang out and be a guest on the Jason Ellis show on Sirius 28 Faction. We had a lot of fun discussing crazy topics and taking listener calls. I also brought him a couple of the new shirts that I just designed for him. Check them out at ellismate.com or the blog on radiofaction.com. I am currently working a new design for the skateboards that Ellis is going to be riding in Xgames 13.
