Faceplant

Odd place/position for a shopping cart to end up. Wonder how many people are gonna wake up feeling like this tomorrow morning!

Happy New Year's!

More Rubbers

Once again, another condom wrapper. Almost in the same area that I found some a while back. There's this little ledge right next to this...I wonder if people are fucking up there? 

That would make for an interesting picture!

Smashing Pumpkins

Found this the day before Christmas Eve, I would expect this after Halloween, but not now. 

Not sure if they were intentionally smashed or just fell off a truck or something, since this is two and I saw a third one in the middle of the street.

You can kind of see it waaaay over on the other side. 

More notes!

Found this one last week and forgot to post it...

you know I love finding notes.

Sam &Antonio is going back out & hes gonna do her helluh dirty & when they kiss after skool hes gonna be like damn your breath stinks helluh bad! & start talking helluh shiet to her! & Ahmari told America & said not to say shiet to Sam but America did b/c thats a true friend! & Ahmari came up to America & was like if you tell Sam ima slap the shiet out of youu!

And ppl are gonna record it But Sam no's now so shes gonna not let it happen.. but not say that anyone told her! its helluh fucked up of Antonio to even do this shiet to Sam! Like really thoo!

Damn, we may never know what happens.
Will America get the shit slapped out of her?
Will ppl record it?
Does Sam's breath really smell that bad?

We may never find these answers....

Your food sucks

No one likes your Green Bean Casserole 
...remember this!

Gutter Diaper

Wonder if someone was aiming for the sewer drain. Don't they see the little fish thingy that says not to dump...those fish killing bastards!

Dead Vampire

I feel like it's been forever, but wait no more. I'll be back on these!

Meanwhile, this can only be the remains of a vampire in Pinole. 

Must have stepped out in the sunlight and poof, nothing but teeth and almonds left.

Liar Liar

Pants on fire!

Okay, it was a garage, but there could have been pants in the garage.

Pretty crazy to walk around the corner and see a bunch of smoke and some firefighters everywhere. 

I'll admit to you my number one dream...I want to pull someone out of a burning building, not as a firefighter, just as someone that happens to be walking by and sees smoke pouring out and run in to save them and call 911. It'll probably never happen though. 

More Treasure!

Gotta keep your eyes peeled when walking around.

This was taken late at night on the walk home, keep in mind this area is pretty dark. I noticed something sticking out near the pot so I bent down to take a closer look.

It's a FasTrak!
(For those not from the bay area, it's basically a prepaid device for paying for toll bridges.)

However, being the nice guy that I am it does have a "if found return to" address on it and I will be sending it back.


Also the fact that I don't have a car and it would be useless to me

Chains

It's a sad day when you have to 

chain down your "Homes & Land" newstand. 

Treasure

My first treasure since starting this blog...

Was just walking on home last night and found this just laying there. It's an art easel brand new in box with a receipt. 

Although it was a little damp and the box was all smooshy the easel is fine! Got a few nephews that might enjoy this.

No reason for this

After a week long vacation I'm back!

Okay, come on! There's a trash can right there next to the bus stop. 

Why the hell is this trash everywhere, okay maybe if the trash can was overfilling I the stuff flew out...maybe...but it wasn't I checked. 

I can't believe how fricking lazy people can be.

Diapers strike back

Diapers at K-Mart

Clean ones found on isle two

Used ones are outside

Okay, day two of trying the Haiku thing and still not improving, think I need to give it up...but I won't I'll try it again. 

But seriously, what's with people leaving diapers around?

Street Salad

See the Tomato

Avocado is nearby

Celery there too

Yes, that was my first Dead Animals Haiku...didn't turn out so well, maybe I should stick to taking pictures instead of writing haiku's.

I'm sure the gophers that I always see popping out of that dirt right there had a nice lunch.

Hello?

I can't tell you how many times I've walked past this and I NEVER noticed that there was no phone in here.

Hell, are there any pay phones anywhere now? The thing I I hate most about there not being any pay phones nearby is that you end up getting some skeevy ass people asking to use your cell phone.

Squirrel

Time to get back to basics on this site...finally found another one...poor little guy was probably running around on the powerlines and slipped...man after looking at it, it's pretty damn graphic.

See what you want

Some people see trash laying on the side of the road.

I see tit.

(Sorry, I've been away for a few days, but I'm back!)

Hope it was negative

You would think with all the condoms I've seen laying around I wouldn't find a pregnancy test. 

and U-Check?!?! Never even heard of it, sounds like one of those you see at the 99 cent store or at Grocery Outlet. 

Lonely Balloon

Poor little lonely balloon.

Just sitting there by it's lonesome self. 

You know, I was never one of those kids that had balloons at school. Was that just a chick thing? Cause I would have liked balloons. Although I think it would be odd for a 32 year old man to walk around with balloons, but maybe when I turn 33!

More rubber

Another condom?!?! That's pretty damn nasty, but at least the kids are using protection, so I guess it's a good thing.

Guess it could be worse and I could be walking around finding aborted fetuses everywhere I look.....

....then again there was that skeleton I found

Spongebob Stoned pants

Oh Spongebob, you look more stoned than the teenagers watching your show. 

Is that really the best figure they could find?

Happy Protesters

Didn't go to work yesterday and it was pouring down rain

so I pulled one from the archives.

Not really sure why these guys were out there, but it was pretty cool.

One of those random acts of awesomeness that you rarely get to see.

Black Crows

3 black crows are sitting in a tree
Looking down on mankind
Loving how it feels to be so free
Leaving us far behind...
And they cackled in joy and dove through the air
Like the winds of a hurricaine
And they spread their wings as if to declare
"Onward , let freedom ring!"

Okay, well, when I took this picture I was actually thinking it reminded me of some nursery rhyme about three black birds or black crows or something like that. So I took it and thought I would be clever. 

Well I was wrong, I think the one I was thinking about was the "Two blackbirds were sitting on a hill, one named Jack and one named Jill".

But then I did a google search as I would have to make some use out of this picture, and found this folk song by Blackmore's Night that had those lyrics, so I figured since they were just staring out over the freeway, it was kind of fitting after all. 

Ice Cream Gansta

Yup, right across the street from the Junior High..an ice cream truck with rims.

I miss the days of being excited over the ice cream truck. I used to LOVE getting the wrestler ice cream bars. It had like this cookie thing on one side with an image of a wrestler and chocolate on the back, and each one came with a card.

Oh and Fizz! I would always get Fizz, the little hard candy with the crap inside that fizzed out...what the hell was that crap anyway?

A note!

Okay, this is something I've actually been hoping I would find walking around. See, I walk right past a Junior High School and just knew that some day I would find...

A NOTE!!

Did I pick it up and read it? I sure did!

I was hoping it would have been a love letter...it wasn't.

But that's okay, cause it's still pretty good. 

My mom always tell me to go to

school ang get an eduacation. She

want me to succeed in lifefinish school

and graduate. so I can find a job.

I want to be a nurse who take

care of others. I wanna help others.

I am Brandi Amie who is

friendly and love being goofy

Nice Car

No, seriously...that's a pretty sweet ass car.

I love seeing classic cars being driven around and now I realize that I missed the "Crusin in the Sun" car show we have in Pinole. Okay, I know....I missed it by like 3 months.

I really gotta pay more attention to the dates before things keep slipping by.

Cart graveyard

Yup, this is where people go to dump their carts. Some of them are from stores about 1.5 miles away. I often see carts here, but I never see people pushing carts down the hill....which would be awesome.

I wonder who in the neighborhood is the culprit? 

WTF

Finally something nice and random. An old cabbage patch kid shoved into a hamper turned on it's side and put on top of some sort of stand surrounded by a bunch of crap. 

It's things that this that really make my walks happy. 

Bush Panties

Yup, no jokes there, just a pair of panties sitting in a bush...what the hell?

I wonder if this is related to the condom found the other day, or the half empty bottle of patron...but hopefully not the sleeping bum.....unless they are his.

Hhhmmmm, wonder how that skeleton would look in a pair of panties, now if I can only find a hazmat suit laying around 

Spider!

This creepy guy's just hanging out in front of my place. 

Found some curds and whey nearby....

Miss Muffet is still no where to be seen.

Okay...sorry slow day. Didn't go to work so didn't have any adventures. Just a boring day of driving around running errands, did get to go see the kittens again, so that was pretty fun. In fact I wonder is these spiders could have caused any damage to those kittens if they stayed there. 

Eh, either way I feel like a hero, so I'll just pretend these spiders were going to kill the kittens and I saved them!

Rubber Road

What do you do with 365 used condoms? 

Make a tire and call it a good year!

What do you do with 4,365 used tires?

Turn it into a road!

Hmmm, that punchline needs some work. 

Paint!

I see this everyday as I'm walking and it always strikes me as being odd. Why is there so much paint in so many different colors just spilled everywhere?

You can tell that top picture has a perfect footprint in it....but it's only those two footprints?!?! I never really thought of how odd that is until now. You telling me there's a boot covered in paint that only left one mark? Wouldn't you see a long trail and be able to follow it?

Oh and speaking of following it, I'm going to try a little something different today...a VIDEO! Scratch that...two videos!!

Sorry about the bounciness of it, I wear those Sketchers Shapeups, because it helps my knees not hurt and make my ass look amazing.

Haha, I think one of these days I should just record my entire walk. Thoughts?

Whip it good

This one's a bit harder to see, so try clicking it to enlarge it...woah, pretty cool huh? Now you can go back and click all the other ones and make them bigger too! Oh and look a fancy comment section for you to leave me some feedback....just sayin'

Anyway, back to the picture. So it was pretty dark outside but I could barely make out the shadow and saw these little things, I shined cellphone-used-as-a-flashlight down and saw a blue thing, my first thought was DEAD SMURF! But no, it was a little container, several of them actually...then I said hey these look like..and you can see the box in the background...yup a box of whip-its.

Figured I would try to take a picture, but it was so dark you coulnt' really see them. I'll try and make a part two with pictures on the way to work today.

EDIT: Here's a picture during the day

BYOC

I guess when there's no room on the bench at the bus stop you just bring your own chair?

I had a pepsi chair in High School that I used to walk around with all the time,bought it with those silly pepsi points they were doing, but yeah it was a pretty awesome chair. One time I just busted it out in the middle of Pinole Valley road right in this wide space on the crosswalk so cars could still drive by and just sat there for a bit.....I did weird things.

Oh and not only did I have a pepsi chair...I had a Mountain Dew "Extreme Network" pager. Yeah...it was awesome.

Huge bitch

...and by bitch I mean female dog, although they could have been male, but the headline wouldn't have been funny. Anyway....those dogs are fricking huge. And she has two of them!!

The dogs were pretty nice, but that could have just been because I had beef jerky in my other hand.

As she was walking away I heard her yelling "heel, HEEL!" yeah...good luck with that

Random

Random...that's about all I can really say.

I guess it's nice someone picked it up and put it there, maybe in hopes that the owner of the hubcap would drive by and go "Oh, there it is!"

Actually you'd be surprised at the amount of crap I pick up and toss to the side when walking just so cars don't hit it. So think of that next time your waiting for a pedestrian to cross the street and get impatient.

Hell, the other day I actually had to walk in the middle of the street and hold up my hands so cars would stop...a big chunk of metal fell off a truck and would have easily punctured a tire, dude was wailing on his horn and looked like he was yelling at me, I reached down picked it up, showed it to him, threw it off to the side and flipped him off...haha. Yeah, I did it to help you, ass.

How fast

I'd like to think that someone drove by so fast that the sign flew off.

I kinda wish I would have taken it, would have been a neat little thing to have, after all I do own a giant letter "G" that's used as stencil on roads for XING signs.

But on the way back home it was gone...oh well.

Shhhhhhhh

Look, off in the distance, it's the ever elusive sleeping bum. Just quietly walk past so you don't startle him, they are known to beg for change to spend on booze...

Although I guess if you're gonna end up sleeping on the grass near the freeway, you have to be piss drunk to catch some Z's

Camo

Camouflaged Kitty!

Can you see her? (click the picture to make it bigger)Tried to get a little closer but she took off running. 

Deck the Hall

I love Hallween!

Actually that sounds like a redneck version. We gon' dress up like ghosts for hall'ween, I tell you what.

I'm tired of these mother f'ing glasses on this mother f'ing tree

In all fairness I took this last night, but it is the same way I walk to and from work, and for all I know it's still there now.

Yeah, glasses on a tree. I don't know what else to say about that. My guess is maybe someone found them and just put them on the tree hoping the owner would walk by and see them.

Or maybe the tree is just having some vision problems and needs them for reading, yeah I know tree you say you only need them for reading, but you're supposed to wear them all the time, don't worry glasses are fine now and no one's gonna call you a nerd for wearing them

Memorial

A memorial to Jeffrey McCoy right down the street from me. For the story click this link.

http://www.ktvu.com/news/29124372/detail.html#.TmmaeyXqL6A.facebook.......you


It's a weird feeling walking past that spot, you can still see the stains on the concrete, makes you think a lot about life and the people you know.

That plastic container says there's croissants in there and for some reason that gets me every time I see it . There's a story around that, that'll never know. Was it an inside joke between him and a friend? Did the man just really love croissants? Maybe someone was eating croissants with him the last time they saw him? Whatever it was, someone cared about him and knew him enough to say "Forget the flowers, Jeff gets croissants".

Take the little things that you know and love about someone and make them count.

...then again, the croissants could mean nothing at all, and I'm just reading to far into it, but now to me, they mean something.
