i have an entire 10 days off after i leave work today. my agenda? skate skate skate... (after family duties are over of course). most of my time will be spent in this hole.

an empty thought

obsession - booty sweat

every year i get less and less excited about xmas. nobody really treats it like its original meaning. more proof that religion is empty. it's all about consuming and feeling guilty about not having enough money to buy them what they really want. seems like more assholes are out at this time of year too.. i see people who took the time to decorate their houses and have blowup toys in their yard and deflated because some jerk punched a hole in it. does anyone really care anymore?

axl face disaster

actually it's a noseblunt but this guy does gnarly frontside disasters so i know it'll happen

edit: p.s. that's not axl's face on there. i'm such a dork sometimes. but by all means, get your disasters on!

flashing eye aches a rad project - skatemental dolphin style babee

sometimes when i'm bored, i make stuff like this. this was for a fantasyland pecos locos session that did or didn't happen.

and then update it a year or so later. this version is for my bff!

i love husker du but that guy loves them way more...

Walking around with your head in the clouds
Makes no sense at all
Sell yourself short, but you're walking so tall
Makes no sense at all
Is it important? You're yelling so loud
Makes no sense at all
Walking around with your head in the clouds
Makes no sense at all

Makes no difference at all

I don't know why you want to tell me
When I'm right or when you're wrong
It's the same thing, in your mind, the only time
I'm right is when I play along

You concern yourself with evidence
It's evident to me
Well you say you've got the tiger by the tail
But I don't see these things that way

looks like fun, itsa grindline

insane

sometimes i go through old emails and look at the cellphone shots i have either taken myself or received from others. these are from long distance nights from az to ms. i can't describe the longing i felt when i received these.

fixing up pools at houses nobody owns

instead of going out to skate a park or to something built by someone else... my bf and a friend decided to fix an empty pool at a house nobody has claimed (other than crackhead squatters and various homeless people) over the past 5 or so years.

yah he "beat you to it". we all got our runs in and then the thinset was mixed and laid down. the next day our friends went and checked it out and said it's "amazing".

this is the definition of motivation.

hello fart panda!

vans + the book so many people grew up with

i wish the yuppie cunt from the department of justice would stop feeling the need to look at my blog.

i can't always participate in what i love. there's rules and social boundaries the significant other must practice despite what the heart desires.
being accepted should never be motivation to do something, it should be for self-satisfaction without regard to the satisfaction others might feel.

it's funny to see what people have searched for that brings them to my blog.

for B

i found your snowman's pool twin on poolrider...

co$ta rica!!!

SUPA DUPA RICA!!! i found these also on the poolrider website photos sent in by swellbow who i know is of the lowcard crowd. the last picture makes me think of lincoln city.

oy work is slow, i'm listening to a good shit cd by bakerface with some hip hop on it, pretty much good except for the songs with the lazy 50 cent voice... i really hate that guy, way more than the drama tiger woods has created... i found a rad website this morning with a ton of pool pictures: pool rider and these a couple of my favorites pictures

with all the tiger woods drama dabacle going on, i just can't take too much more stress, THEN.... i have to see this guy on his bike this morning riding in his underwear. THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

i wish everything i read on the internet would leave me with the feeling i have right now after reading this, instead of wishing i had the secret power of creating the sensation of getting punched in the asshole from a distance. ronnie james dio.

a moment of internet awesomeness

♡

i started writing a long thing about something that's been a source of negativity for well over a year now and i decided i'm not going to do it. i'm going to continue eliminating things from my life that make me feel an abstract stabbing motion is in order. this anger i feel inside must be swallowed up by everything awesome that is in my life.



file under: what's new? you're just figuring this out?

even though skateboarding is still male dominated and driven, i find it funny when companies use "models" to promote their "skategirl" campaigns. get a clue.

there's a lot of rad people out there in the world who love skateboarding and love sharing it with others. these people remind me of what is important. true friends, true passion without intentions, and recognizing those worthy of a second thought.

if a complete stranger has access to a variety of skateboarding stickers, or anything related and would like to get a trade going with me, let me know! this sticker was received by my bff♡ from a fellow skateboarder (doug lejeune) in louisiana and they do a trade back and forth of stickers and other skateboarding related items...i want a trade stranger to trade stuff too. write me!

a fun

fyi four day weekends rule but the following mondays do not.

friday was an awesome day, perfect weather, skated pecos and then a friend took us to his marriage den with an empty pool. it was fun. the deep is rounded on one side, a tight wall below the ♡seat and the left side is kind of squared. the shallow is supersweet for those that can make it back up the waterfall with enough speed crazy but your board control better be in check to miss the stairs. for a pool skater, this pool would be rated pretty high on the level of fun. we left smiling and covered in pool dust.


these are not too horrible - my cell phone pictures. wrex bsa


i think this was an attempt at a front rock but obviously didn't work out so well for him or the picture.


this one actually worked out. he landed a bunch of these but this is the one shot i got with great timing. sort of cut his head and back off a little bit..to the deck!


wrex fsa a little early on the clicker


highly professional photo by skidmarks which i ripped from facebook <--thanks for the session
