How
best to describe Brandonland,
Brandon Herman’s Nerve photoblog? I mean, there’s always the one word that springs
(ahem) immediately to mind: dick. Cock. Men wearing shirts with no pants. Men
peeing. Men skateboarding. Men doing yoga or making out with women or punching
each other in the stomach. All with no pants.
In other words, a thing of beauty.
Brandon seems to capture the lifestyle of the young,
impetuous, intrepid souls…people who find adventure wherever they go. And don’t
mind urinating against a wall, or each other, on the way. Do you live in
Brandonland?
Here’s some of his latest
blog entries (sorry for the male full-frontal editing, kids. Go see Forgetting Sarah Marshall). Enjoy his entire blog here.

is Evil

I was watching the O'Reilly Factor yesterday morning with
my grandma and they covered this story about this kid in Florida who was
arrested for making his own grandmother perform in some gangsta rap videos he
made. In some of the shots she's decked out in gang-banger attire, complete
with bandana, baggy jersey and bling, and in others she's wearing a ski mask,
waving a gun and money, and talking about shooting cops. O'Reilly was totally
horrified, and he had some pretty blonde Republican chick on the show talking
about how twisted the kid was as well, but personally I found it touching that
gangsta rap had been the catalyst for some generation-gap-crossing
grandmother-son bonding. It kind of made me want to make a rap video with my
grandma.
And on the subject of rap:
I would encourage all of you readers to boycott Jay-Z.
He's evil and I'm pretty sure that he is actually just a white person in blackface
working hard to perpetuate black oppression and racism. The values that he
instills in black youth are the equivalent of a million white kids looking up
to Donald Trump. All he raps about is consumerism and its sad that he rots
people's brains with such garbage. And it makes sense that he is marrying the
whitest black woman on earth.
I got a
splinter yesterday at the pool party I was at but I can't seem to get it out of
my foot, so I think its just going to have to be permanent. Like a tattoo.

I've been really moody all day today. I woke up with a bad
hangover and a downer attitude. I hate that. Sometimes I actually love
hangovers because they slow everything down a bit and make everything seem kind
of trippy. And you feel all fragile like you're made out of glass or something.
As long as its not a throw-up hangover, I usually can enjoy it. But not this
one. This one is a depressed, think of lots of reasons to hate myself hangover.
Boo.
My younger sister is flying in tonight to visit me. She
called the other day and said she hates college right now so I am flying her
out for a couple days of me. What a nice brother huh? She was supposed to be
here hours ago but she went all the way through security with no boarding pass,
then obviously was sent back to the check-in counter, and by the time she got
back through again she had missed her flight. What a dumb-dumb.
Tonight we'll drive out to the desert so that tomorrow we
can go to this pool party Anthem mag is throwing for Coachella. It wouldn't be
me if there wasn't a pool party involved, now would it?
Currently
listening to some Nine Inch Nails song, the name of which I actually don't know.

I've been listening to these crazy mashups all day. Like
ones where they combine forty different hit songs from the 90s all into one
long continuous ass-kicking stereo slam-jam. Why is it that a bunch of songs I
don't like can all be amazing when melded together into one mashup masterpiece?
Some highlights from today's mashup findings:
A mashup of "Hey Ya" by Outkast and "We
Will Rock You" by Queen.
A mashup of one 80's pop hit song for every letter of the
alphabet, all in alphabetical order.
A mashup of early nineties club classics that kicks off
with that "What Is Love" song that the Roxbury brothers bob their
heads to.
Currently
listening to: "Welcome Back Mix" by DJ Praise, an epic medley
combining 70's action theme songs with 90's hip-hop.
Hollywood
Death Tour

So this producer from the Canadian TV company CHUMTV
called me a few months ago and told me that he was going to come to LA and do a
special on David Lynch and a special on me, which I was totally excited about because
I love being on TV. They arrived last week, and they interviewed me a bunch,
and then they wanted to see me in action so on Thursday night I took them out
with a bunch of friends and we toured around to houses in Hollywood where
famous murders had occurred and got drunk and naked a lot and took pictures.
Check it out...
So here's me answerin' some questions about what it is
that I do and why I do it. The sun was in my eyes and I was drunk and couldn't
concentrate, so I'm sure I'll look like a total dumbass.
And here we are at the first stop of the night, the house
where the famous Wonderland murders (involving porn star John Holmes) took
place. And Morgan had to pee.
Paula against the wall in the garage of the Wonderland house.
A pit
stop on the side of Mulholland Drive. More pissing and stuff.
We got
driven around in this big black Suburban and even though they told me it sat
eight, I brought ten friends. We were all cozy like sardines. There were lots
of shennanigans in the Suburban.
Me and
Paula in front of the house where the Sharon Tate murders took place. I know it
looks like I'm wearing a dress but its actually a trench coat over shorts.
Shennanigans
on the road too.
Here's
Morgan in front of the house where the Menendez brothers killed their parents.
The new owners have a Bentley.

North America!

I just can't stop with the gymnastics. I think I was
supposed to be an Olympic coach or something. Here's the latest contender in my
gymnastics championship:
I just
registered to vote yesterday. Who are you all into? I like Hilary. Don't know
why. She just seems cool. Reminds me of my mom if my mom wasn't so pretty, and
was a little meaner.
