At the speed of life.

I promise I won't post pictures of myself too often. 

Slacking hard on taking pictures of my life lately. Lots of fun has been had, hippoland, antigravity after hour sessions, spaghetti dinners, vcu police, business skating, stagehand work for "so you think you can dance", and maybe getting a real job? Who knows really.

Time Flies.

So its been a few days. I really thought I wasn't going to slack at this, but of course I was wrong. It was quite an eventful weekend. Let me show you.

This is TJ at work. He was twisting his hair in hopes that it would grow faster. He really wants to get long dreads like Mekhi Phifer in 8 mile.
Albert Hill is the new hot spot. Nice relaxing setting where all the homies can come and skate and have fun. Maury brought part of his old box to have fun on. Dave Yi is practicing his stunts.
After hurting his knee pretty bad and being non existent for awhile, Travis Pittman is back. We are all glad to have him and his tattoos on the session.
Gilby doing a cool trick on a skateboard. Weird.
Ty always killing it.
Just some bros having a good time.
Ty and Swy, so cute.
Bradshaw has this in his trunk. Kind of creepy.
Off to downtown to try to bomb hills. More throwing shit at eachother.
Swy has such sweet style.
Went to Gils house to chill. Saw this picture of baby Gil ripping. I guess he has always had that beautiful hair.
I've really been into the Civil War lately, mostly history in itself. Gil's grandma is real into the Civil War and has a ton of sweet pictures and maps and stuff hanging around their house. This is a picture of Stonewall Jackson and his staff. It's so awesome to look at and think about all the history thats happened right around us and has shaped how we live today.
Off to some parties. Gil's got the magic stick.
This is awesome. Tons of people in this little house on Floyd, watching some band play. Gil was taking his magic stick and knocking peoples hats off, preferably white girls with shitty new era hats on sideways. They seriously had no idea what was happening. It was fucking hilarious. Jack thinks so too.
Ellsworth, Andrew, and Jacky, loosen up.
Ellsworth told me he likes the blog. I like that.
Gil went to pick up a rock to throw at someone. We thought it was poop.
Was it?
Stopped at some party at Park. We took over the dance floor. Then some guy in a bright green spandex body suit told us to leave.
We told Trey to jump this trashcan. It was cool, but it took him like 10 minutes to get ready to do it.
So we walked all the way from Floyd and Strawberry or something to Ipanema. It turned out to be pretty fun with a good crew.
Yeah, Casey. Get that shit.
This shit is really hard to do. I think Jack and Gil were the only ones who could do it.
Ran into this fool later. DJ Doddie, always killing it. Serious Party Style.
Had a rainy day Wal-Mart sesh with Jack. Saw alot of sweet things. I remember when tech decks were so cool. Now they make this shit, Kickflip Duke. He's a finger, with arms and legs, who wears a hat, shirt, pants, and shoes, and does kickflips. Tricks are so cool.
Found my halloween costume. I'm gonna be Mike Butler.
More tech deck wizardry. You can now get a replica of the hollywood high 16. Notice how it comes with a Reynolds tech deck. This blows my mind....but I kind of want it.
Last but certainly not least, I got a new roommate. Ladies and gentleman, Chopsticks Monday the 3rd. This is Clements puppy. He is cute as hell, sleeps alot. We get along well. 
Look at that face.

The End of the Weak.

Since I don't really have a "job" right now and no steady income, my really nice friends tend to help me out alot. I don't really know how I have such sweet friends, but they are fucking awesome. So I told myself that once I get some money, I'm taking a good few of them out to eat one at a time for my treat. This weekend I started with a very good friend who is also in a shitty financial situation, NINA!

Kristina told me since I was treating her, that I had to pick where we ate. We decided on Cheesecake Factory.
This is what I got, it doesn't look like much, but shit it was good.
After an excellent lunch, we wanted some sweet treats. We went to Dairy Queen and the girl there was not feeling Nina and made her this jacked ice cream cone.
Then a stop to see one of my favorite buddys DIB. Such a cutie.
I really have been trying not to drink anything with high fructose corn syrup in it lately. Obviously Coke is too good not to have here and there, but I really enjoy a good cream soda. There are alot of really good natural cream sodas on the market that are insanely delicious, almost like deserts. I was a little upset to realize that this Stewart's cream soda, although delicious, does contain the dreaded HFCS. Oh well, it doesn't matter that much when you eat McDonald's everyday anyway.
This was my choice for the Nobel Peace Prize. 

But on a serious note, I think I deserved the Nobel Peace Prize more than Obama. At least I've never hurt anyone. It's scary how much of the world is being run by crooks and conartists. But no big deal, 2012 will be here in no time.

Fast Food Tour '09.

Had a pretty mellow day today. Really didn't do much of anything. Toured McDonald's in the morning and Burger King in the evening with Soy Boy. 


Two things that I love but are hazardous to my health: McDonalds and Sawyer. 
(I kid! I kid!)
Soy showed me how to step up your mickey d's game. 
Double cheeseburger x McChicken = Disgusting.
A genius and his masterpiece.
We then made an appearance at the shop to visit Jack and Brent. We discussed twilight lift tickets and fresh pow pow. Sawyer showed us how good he can snowboard.
I really like skateboarding, I fucking love it, but I sometimes think it can be a little lame. I never really liked snowboarding to begin with, but I was always able to shrug off tall beanies and brightly colored snow suits and let it be. But something about this shirt I saw today, entitled "horny fingers", really made me realize that snowboarding is just wack. Somebody got paid to make that.
After waiting over an hour to get my stagehand check, me and Soy continued our fast food tour at Burger King. In the end it left me wondering, what made that whopper so angry?

We know how to party.

As you've probably already guessed, my friends and I are pretty cool. Check out how much fun we can have with a beach ball.
Look at the intensity.
Jack takes the more laid back approach.
Probably the coolest I've ever looked.
TJ lookin' tough in that beater.

Its a new dawn, its a new day.

Day one of my blog set some pretty epic standards. Let me show you in pictures.

Picked my camera up from the shop after I had left it there for a few days. Found this picture on it. Pretty neat?
Met up with Jack, Gil, Swy, and Bradshaw. Swy bought this fun ukulele. I took a sweet pic of Gil. Look at that hair.
Swy got a makeover thanks to Gil. 
Jack was ready for more stagemonkey work.
?
Skated downtown for awhile, bombing 8th street. Brads board got eaten by a bus.
Wouldn't be a session if I didn't break my board on something dumb.
Our good friend Ty made it on the sesh. Smiles for miles.
This guy was killing it.
Then went to dinner at this BBQ place called Benny's. Met up with Dave Yi himself.
Truly Doin' Thangs.
I actually ate some of this. 
Took the genny out for a late night sesh and saw spiderman at Wawa. Check him chillin in the back seat.
Things are looking up, my dad will be proud.
Jacky boy, late night style son.
Played a few fun games of banana peel in the face and bumper cars. Swy was very excited about that huge dent.
GET FUCKED!
