my cannonhead

so, following our weekend of mayhem - during which ali turned 24 amongst a million other dramatic events that took place - a plethora of awkwardly scandalous pictures surfaced on various parts of the web (facebook, picasa, blogs). this unleashed a fury of untagging and threats of blackmail unless certain photos were removed.

i'm as vain as the next person, meaning i partook in the furious untagging and demanding, but once in a while i come across a photo of myself that makes me go, "damn. i really need to do something with that."

case in point:



my initial reaction - as was everyone else's - was: "cotdamn." i mean seriously, what else can you say to a photo like that.

anyway, i remembered looking at this one artist li wei's work and being really amused by all these photos of himself plunged into the earth or his head floating around looking rather confused.






so it inspired me to do something dada with my own head.


namely, fire it out of a cannon.






i still cant look at it without cracking up.

for those of you who asked, i wish i could take credit for the background, but it's actually a corner of an artwork by this graphic design artist fatoe (fatoe.com), whose work rich introduced to me. his stuff is amay-sing!


in conclusion, saturday night was definitely one of those you wish you could forget but know you can't nights. which can only mean it's going to happen again this weekend. haolaaaaaaahhhhh!

happy bday cooch!
