Blonde Rock. Ya, it's a weird name. No,
it absolutely has nothing to do with geological items or rock and roll.
For that matter, it has nothing to do with blondes or the color yellow
even. In fact, Blonde Rock has nothing to do with anything, other
than that blue guy with the fukt hat is, in fact, Blonde Rock. So,
now you know who Blonde Rock is, but what is Blonde Rock? Why is
Blonde Rock? That my precious surfers, is exactly what you'll find
out if you have the patience to actually use that misguided part of you
called your brain and read.
History: How it all started
All right, with a kick ass original like that, I
know you're expecting a glorious story of the huge think tank and the ideology
behind Blonde Rock and his issues. Well, I'm sorry to disappoint
you, but it wasn't quite like that. You see, it was more like this.
One day me (Jesse) and Scott were sitting in my house, just talking.
We started bitching about taxes, the government in general, prisons, and
everything else that sucks and is out of our control. The more we
talked, the more we wanted to do something with our ideas and opinions,
and we thought, man, what better and more fun than a second civil war!
Unfortunately, Scott had left his bazooka and grenade
launcher in his Sherman tank, at his house, and my uzi alone wasn't going
to do anything except scare a few postal workers, so we figured we'd do
a web page instead. We went and signed up for this space on Fortune
City (100 MB FREE!) (k. that's the extent of my advertising) and thought
great! Now we've got some building space. Then we looked at
our address. Hmm, we said. http://www.fortunecity.com/victorian/kapoor/139/index.htm
really isn't going to cut it. Can you imagine? "Hey man, check
out my web site. The address is http://www.fortunecity.com/victorian/kapoor/139/index.htm,
don't forget! Well, we decided to sign up for a wonderful V3
redirect address. Course, that meant that we also had to come
up with a cool catchy name for our site. Now, you gotta keep in mind
that we got around to doing this at about three in the morning, so we had
pretty well slammed that slap happy silly stage of tiredness smack in the
face. Our first choice was http://come.to/butthead.
That idea cracked us up for a good half hour. "Hey, check out my
site! the address is come....to Butthead! Finally, we went to submit
our great new address, and guess what. Some dork in California has
it. His site consists of his name and three entirely dead text links.
Great site, make sure you check it out. Well, after that we tried
gazillions of cool names, all of which were taken of course. Finally,
in a fit of frustration, we picked up the nearest magazine, which happened
to be a Rolling Stone, flipped to a random page and pointed twice.
Blonde Rock was the result. Thank you Rolling Stone.
Well, that pretty much covers the history
of the name, the image of Blonde Rock came a little later when we decide
to make Blonde Rock a comic book character. This drawing of Blonde
is actually a construction paper and colored pencil creation by Scott,
done way before we had ever thought of Blonde Rock. This collage/drawing
managed to fit the character we were thinking of perfectly, so we went
with it. And that's the history of the image.
The Future: Where it's all going
Man, I'm just bristling with originality tonight.
Anyways, the future. If all goes as planned (god knows it never does...)
we're figuring on having a comic strip using Blonde Rock as the main character
(of course) and updating it monthly, maybe weekly, with a new five frame
strip. Blonde will discuss issues of politics as seen by me and Scott,
make fun of those cool people that wear Tommy and Abercrombie shit, dis
SUV's, promote new taxation plans and bitch about TV programming.
We also plan on promoting discovery of self, meditation, self-hypnosis,
and a few other terrible new age things. However, everything I just
said could be wrong, we'll just have to wait and see. In the
meantime, keep checking back, I'll try and work on this page as much as
I can, but the fall semester just started so things could move a little
slow. If I really seem to be slacking and you're just dying for new
material, email us at the link found below.
