Devo is playing at the 9:30 Club in D.C. in early November!!

I would like to get someone's thoughts on something.

How Do You Hear Music?

-This is how I hear it with respect to playing music.-

I hear it and it tells me where to go. It's like a journey up the open road, where I don't know where it's going to go, but I just listen... and I'm there, Like I'm never standing still.

If the person answering this wants to change the subject matter around that's fine. As long as its within the guidelines of your honest opinion and not something "read right out of a book."

Tim Burton is making a new version of Alice in Wonderland!!!!!!!!

I want that fucking girl out of my house. Her very presence irritates me. She'll be in the bathroom for an hour to cake up her ugly face before she goes out with Aimee's brother to go "look for work." If I was going out everyday to look for work in an entire month I would of already had an interview or two out of the way before I made a decision on where I'd want to be. For instance a couple of days ago she went out on this excursion that lasted all day and came back with her eyebrow pierced, tell me why anyone would hire her (its mostly corporations around here) when a piercing like that can't come out for at least a month. Why are Aimee's parents okay with someone like that living here?

Her and Jon are in a friend with benefits relationship while living together. So Aimee and I get to overhear her talking to Jon about guys that shes fucking and the unnecessary drama that its creating in her personal life while Jon remains only with her. Why do people like this exist? Why do they insist on using others, lying and cheating their way through life? Why the fuck do I have to live with someone like that??

I've been thinking of checking out Montana.

The last night of 1999, at a roller rink.......

I don't get out much.

We haven't had the internet in a couple days, and to be honest its been nice not being able to go on. I feel like I spend to much time browseing the web all day as opposed to taking care of other business.

Its been a good week. Jessica gave me a skateboard shes had at her parents house for a while that has been sitting in her closet there. I had been praying for a new board for a while and it got dropped into myy lap this morning durring my first cup of coffee. It rides great!

McDonald's has been a bust from the beginning. I found out today some not so surprising news that I'm not on the schedual for the rest of the week. I laughed when I saw this, and laughed even harder when Rose realized that I was in the building. It was funny watching her try to hide in her office blocked by a wall of managers.

I've been into watching Rosanne lately. My mother hates that show. It must be because of the honesty lol.

Fuck little sluts that think they look good with a bunch of makeup on. No one says anything to you because you look like shit without it. Even if someone cut your face up with a knife no one would be able to tell because you always wear enough makeup to cover up things like that.

I hate it when I'm at work and I have to listen and watch you gossip and flirt like a clown on drugs. If you were getting paid to do that I wouldn't get as mad, but doing it for free? damn that is sad.

Sometimes I feel like I should buy you a cheeseburger.

Also to add to this is the crytomax ingested meat heads that dig retards like you. I have to work with people like this who think its weird that I'm not into jail bait like they are. I hate that and I wish they would leave the planet. I hope they feel guilty when the parents of the girl they knock up force them to kick their own ass because they're going to jail.

Why is it such a problem that I don't want to be friends with you? It's not that I need to loosen up around people, it's that I don't like people that I have nothing to talk to about, or have any common intrests with. Also I don't like people when the first thing out of their mouth is "why are you so skinny? Do you do heroin?" Are you fucking retarded? The answer is YES.

*Throws hands up in disgust*

Grrrr their isn't anything to talk about. I've been injured since Sunday, and I've been just surfing around the internet trying to find something to do. I am glad though that I didn't have anything to do today other then to rest up.

I watched Daria most of today :)

I'm excited to have found a company out in San Francisco that dosen't charge that much for completes, Plus the wheels I ride come in the completes free of charge :)

I don't know that was my day, how was yours?

They live with you, don't they?

Crows are generally associated with horror and the like. I think that's missing the entire point of what a crow represents. Key traits they have are versatility to where they can adapt to extremely humid climates and deserts. To bad every time I had thought of them before I associated them with Poe. I don't know, food for thought.

Note: I was being completely ridiculous with this post. plus I hadn't gotten any sleep. I had been watching birds outside that morning and had this random observation of one of them, and by the time I went to write my thought out I had forgotten what I wanted to write. I hate it when that happens.

Absolutly one of the most influental and radical guys to ever grace the presence of the skate world. Style for miles, grace and fluidity in every movement that was proformed at heights that others watching were caught in the blur. To me its not the manuvers that he invented but it's the spirit and raw love he did them with. The idea of taking the board out from under your feet and outstrching your limbs at 17ft in the air makes me love skateboarding so much. I'm so blessed to be part of this expression.

I'll upload the image later because the server is being gay.

I found a bunch of these old ad's from the 1980's. I figured I'd share the stoke. Keep the feeling alive, It's all comming back!!! If you want to know what the shop is all about, well....here it is!

Kitties!!!

I miss the bicycle rides with my step dad before the beatings would start. He said he was doing it because God told him too.

I'm so excited to hear back about the credit card I applied for! I've been surfing the web all night looking for new gear to ride. I found a handrail that I'm thinking about throwing into the shop video. I've got to practice on some of the longer rails at the parks around here. It'll be kind of a John Cardial experience because of the sheer length of it. I'm stoked!

Happy Go Skateboarding Day! it was for the 21st but I didnt post yesterday so I'm posting it now.
Also Happy Fathers Day for everyone here and overseas
Happy First Day of Summer!
Happy Birthday Brandon Flowers!
Happy Aborigalinal Day! *it's on the calander so I figured I'd say it*

Peace, Love and Joy today!!

Today started out pretty ruff,

I woke up super sore and I guess Aimee and I had both been coughing all night because our shests hurt pretty bad. I felt disoriented as I walked to the coffee pot and fired up one of Aimee's mom's cigarettes after that. My boss put me on the schedual for tommorow so I won't be able to go with Aimee to her doctor appointment. She still has to sign this thing so that we can get food stamps. Hopefully Saturday?

After the morning everything got better. Aimee got to go online for the first time all day and to my knowledge didn't get interupted durring her games :). It was dry outside so I setup my old board and skated from 6:00 till it was dark. I fixed the cracks in the pretzel bowl and finished waxing up the iron rebar I have down there as coping. It slides so well now, full on 50-50s are no problem now! I stomped wax into the split in the middle of the ditch that seperates the two sections so now when Dan rides over the crack with his little 52's he won't lose any speed. I had to grind off the rust on the rebar with a rock covered in wax that I used to for the repair. I t took a couple of hard hours to get everything right but i got it done. It felt amazing skateing there today, I'm so proud of that spot. I can't wait to film down there with Aaron when he gets here.

I'm going to make a list of things I am thankful for this week

-I am thankful-

For having so many readily available skatespots in my area.

Aimee is the most supportive engaging mind I've ever met. She constantly supports my love for skateboarding and adds to every other aspect of my life. I'm lucky to have such a person that I wake up next to every morning that makes the day feel new and alive with potential. No matter what's going on that's hard to handle she keeps me positive and helps me to turn problems into me actively solving them. She has helped me to start writing again and showed me how useful livejournal realy is. I wouldn't be anything without her. I could care less if I get made fun of or get crazy looks for openly saying that.

I am thankful that skateboarding has so many unique products and companies out now. No matter how big skateboarding gets, people will and are reinventing what the standard should be. The boundaries of truck, wheel and board design are so revolutionary that it would be impossible to know what is next on the horizon.

I am thankful for Concrete Wave Magazine putting out one great and informitive issue after another. In the sea of street skate focus and material trick hype Michael Brooke hasn't forgotten the pure joy of riding and what it means to have a pure love of skateboarding. Since the magazine's conception every aspect of the skateboard world has been covered, even the scenes in other countries are covered, whether some big American skate tour is going on or not. That's a big reason that the magazine means so much to me, because it isn't about who's dating who or Koston's skating where. It's about personal journies with skateboarding and where it takes you.

Skateboarding is like a sleeping religion, where you could be an office worker, a contractor, a writer or an artist and no one knows you skate until they ask you. We are all connected as skaters, like a tribe that integrates into every aspect of society. People will look at you like you're crazy if you are 30 or 40 and still skate. People chalk it up to kid's stuff, as if you get into it like the Hula Hoop and drop it after a few months when your interest wanes. Ask those same people why they still swim or play baseball and watch them get awkward.

With so many thing happening this year I've got alot of lists comming up.

2009 is the best year ever!

Wow today was so much better then yesterday! I got my paycheck and got it cashed with no problem, we went out to lunch and got a P'Zone because I've been thinking about them for the last few weeks and I've been broke so I haven't been able to get one. I got the new issue of Success Magazine that I wanted last week, and we picked up Aimee's car with no problems. I found out too that Payne's might still be hiring and they remembered me so I might still be on the list! It would be so rad to get a full time job close to home, I'll be praying on it.
