Fireball’s COOL DESIGN OF THE WEEK…
As with most weeks, I got cool stuff sent to me. “Hey Fireball! Whatta ya think of my (fill in the blank).” And with that kinda traffic coming at me, I get the privilidge of seeing the best of what’s out there. Sort of.
Well, not all of it is lip smackin’ goodness. Some of it is downright cheese of the Limberger nature. But, without more dumb explanation, here’s what cool in design this past week. And no, you can’t buy the Phat Boy Can from me. It’s on “special order” from Iceland.
THE BUGATTI BORDEAUX
Big and beautiful, but they’re only building them for the richest MoFo’s on the planet. So, if we get to “see” one, it’ll cost about 10K.
BMW Concept Cool
A rad BMW sketch that evokes movement, style and grace. Obviously not the traits that the final build will have, but sweet to look at. So, whatever.
THE ROLLS GHOST
WealthSquared. I wonder if can rent one of these puppies at Hertz? I think they give you a discount on your next Lear Jet World Tour.
THE PARAJET SKY CAR
Yea. I want it. I need it. Comes with barf bags. I SO am gonna rock this thing!
MA PIMP’D PACER
Orange. Phat. Tasty. I mean, why don’t they do REAL design like this anymore? Can’t you see a Mom pullin’ into Vons with this? I mean, I’D help her with her groceries for sure!
TRANSFORMER CAMARO
It’s a Camaro, yes. But it’s a Transformer, too! Like,… two toys in one for the price of one! That’s like getting a Star Wars Action Figure with an extra lightsaber!!! COOL!!!
ZAGATO PEOPLE MOVER
A what? A People Mover? Um,… what if you have a dog? Or,… a lizard or something? Are they serious? I mean, how would I pick up my ex-wife if I had one??
What happens when you live your passion…
Life is a challenge. Now, if you really analyze that statement, it’s really much deeper that it’s superficial meaning.
The point of life isn’t to go out and make money. The point of life is to improve yourself and help others do the same. Period. But it’s hard to do that when you aren’t sure where your place is or what you want. When you love a thing, it manifests in all sorts of ways. But the challenge is, what do you love?
I’ve tried to help people answer that question in seminars, books, discussions, one on ones. And the best way to answer it is to ask, “What do you enjoy on the weekends?”
The weekends are a symbol of freedom. And having passion for something allows you to be free. So, ask yourself. What is it that you look forward to on the weekends and how can you make a living with it?
You can. You must. You will. Stop screwing around. THIS IS YOUR LIFE, not someone else’s. STOP SCREWING AROUND. You keep being lazy and not concentrating and you’ll end up having your worst fears realized.
I love cars. I live cars. I breath cars. They are my life blood. And I will spend the rest of my life creating better ones for every reason I can think of. Fast, slow, green, weird, cool, stylish, bitchin,’ ugly.
I’m not joking here. Get to work. Get out there and find what you love and make it happen. THIS IS YOUR LIFE, SO STOP WASTING TIME!!!!!!!
Something new…
Hey, check out my wife new FACEBOOK page. Super cool.
The Top 10 Movie Chase Franchises…
Now, to come up with a Top 10 ‘aint easy. But as a Franchise, there’s only so many. So, …here’s the BEST of the BEST according to this Fireballed opinion. See these one after the other, and in that way, you get to get as totally sick as possible… leading to taking the next day off from work …and watch the next franchise. (See how I just figured that out? I’m just so cool that way.)
What was I saying? …Oh, yea. Bar none, the best Action Genoirs of our time. Is Genoir a word? No. But I don’t care, so here we go…
NUMBER 10 – ITALIAN JOBBERS
Minis on a Mission. Fun to watch, (not so much Walberg). They used 90 MINIs in this film to catch all that action. And screwed up all 90. Yea, nice.
NUMBER 9 – GONE IN 60 SECONDS’EZ
Mustangs leaping. No sense whatsoever, but enough crashes and complete destruction to keep you re-filling you chip bowl. And her name was Eleanor. Nice.
NUMBER 8 – FAST AND REALLY, REALLY MAD
Young people ruining the city,… um, cities, in every way possible. Plus, girls everywhere. Oh, and girls. Did I mention girls? Nice…………. girls.
NUMBER 7 – MATRIXES
Dark, dreary, sexy, fast and rubber. Both on the cars and on Trinity. Plus, enough CG to have a Cardiac Arrest. A CG Cardiac Arrest, of course. Nice.
NUMBER 6 – TRANSPORTERS
Cars, Karate, a nasty girl with machine guns and no clothes. Yup, that’s a movie for us. Oh, and really silly over-the-top chases that make no sense. Nice.
NUMBER 5 – BOURNES
Gritty, fast, mind-blowing chases with hardcore brutal endings. No punches pulled here, just the raw real deal. Ouchy. Oh,…. nice.
NUMBER 4 – JIMMY BONDS
Every kind of chase in just about every kind of car. Fun, exciting and full of Bond. James Bond. Always leaves you shaken, not stirred. Nice.
NUMBER 3 – MAD MAXED
Lots of room in the outback to fully destroy any car, truck, bike or any moving object. Super cool cars, cool badass bad guys and dust. Lots of dust. Ni… cough, Nice.
NUMBER 2 – TERMINATORS
Metal grinding metal. Self aware Harleys, buxom Terminatrixes and yes, a badass Ford Pickup driven by Arnie. ‘Nuf said. Nice.
AND NUMBER 1 – BATMANS
The Tumbler. Nice.
So there….
Welcome to the world ALEXA SIMONE LAWRENCE…
I’d like to introduce you guys to someone very special. Someone extremely special…
This is ALEXA, my niece. Now, only 1 day old, she’s an absolute stunner. This is very hard for me to write and not turn into a blubbering fool so I’m going to keep it short, but I have to say how proud I am of my brother and his wife. They cooked a good bun. An extraordinary bun…
New TRON LEGACY HD Trailer!
From First Showing comes the first “TRON LEGACY” Trailer. Now, a clear picture of the Lightcycles in action. These bikes are outta control, and it looks like Jeff Bridges is, too. Check it out…
Do you see a new trend COMING??
Westerns are not in. In ANY way, shape of form. Until, someone makes a cool Western. So, with these two, Westerns are what’s coming. (Although SHERLOCK HOLMES isn’t technically a Western. Have I said Western enough?) But, JONAH HEX will be so badass that it will count for two, so there. Um,… Western.
Tron2 Lightcycles UP CLOSE…
A great update on these bikes. Although not a car;-), they are extremely bitchin.’ The Comic Con in San Diego is full of cool stuff from GREEN HORNET, TRON2 and AVATAR. More stuff coming… (Photos courtesy of First Showing.)
Comic Con TRON 2 SNEEK!!
Hard to see, but enough to get a decent look at the LIGHTCYCLES. Check it…
Green Hornet’s Black Beauty SNEEK PEEK…
Unveiled at Comic Con, this beast is workin.’ In the words of Seth Rogen, “this car had to be something to able to drive on the street.” Maybe those guns are a givaway, but probably not. 😉 {Photos Courtesy Slashfilm and First Showing.}
