Riley's on Theeve

Riley has been killing it as of late.  One of my Facebook "friends" posted this and I felt like I should post it myself.  I am so glad that he is getting the recognition that he deserves and is coming into his own.  Riley is a really fun person to be around, and has a great sense of humor.  I wish I still got to see him as much as I used to!  Enough of the sentimental stuff though.  Just watch this clip :)

Moist.

Have any of you ever noticed how the word "moist," makes girls feel rather uncomfortable?  I only know of two girls who don't mind the word, while all the rest want to punch you in the face for even beginning to form the word, let alone following through with it and actually saying it.  I happen to like the word, nor do I ever hold back when feeling the urge to say it in front of girls.  You don't even have to say the word "vagina" after saying it, and they STILL get mad.  Who's really the pervert in this situation?  The person saying the word and not using it in the context of a vagina in anyway?  Or the girl getting upset because they probably did think of it in that sense?

So to all you girls out there, get over it!  There is no other way to describe good cake besides "moist."  There is no better way to describe the heat and humidity in the Dirty South other than "moist."  And there certainly is no better way to describe your no-no special place when you're happy besides the every so pretty sounding word "moist."  Get over it!

I haven't had a chance to blog in a while because everyday after work (and after getting in short seshes at the Culver City Park when I can after work) I tend to come home and just mess around with my guitar or read.  After sitting in front of a god damn computer all day at work, sometimes the last thing I want to do is sit in front of a computer again when I get home.

I have been sick for the last like 2 weeks and that has also helped in hindering my ability to want to do anything after work.  Getting sick is kinda crazy when you think about it.  There is just a straight all out microbial war going down inside of your body and because of this it makes you insanely tired and unable to function properly.  I personally don't trust the pharmaceutical industry, and because of that my sickness has probably lingered around longer than it should have.  Skating it out is what usually seems to work though ;) too bad I'm not skating as much as I would like to be!

MOIST!

Yesterday I went to this music festival in Santa Monica and got to see Minus The Bear play. If you freaks haven't heard (or heard of) Minus The Bear then you are seriously blowing it.  A bunch of other bands played at this free festival that Pac Sun put on, but Minus The Bear was the only one that I really want to see and they played sooooo good!  They kind of butchered the song "Pachuca Sunrise" unfortunately, but it was still insane to see them for free, outdoors, and on the beach!  Here is a song from their new album Omni called "Into The Mirror" that you should all hear and enjoy:

Today I went skating down in the Costa Mesa area with DLoy, Ethan, and Dominick.  Dom actually informed me that he checks my blog everyday and that is exactly what made me want to make sure that I post today.  Now that David drives it is nice to be able to drive down to OC and be able to leave my car somewhere and hop in his car for the rest of the day.  David and I have been talking about this day for years, and I am stoked that it is finally here.  Now I get to cause a ruckus while he drives and not the other way around.  PS E-Pod dos in fact "rulez."

We went to a pretty cool gap today.  It was bigger than I thought it was going to be but I felt like I needed to ollie it and I did!  I hardly ever skate gaps anymore, but it felt good to ollie a decent sized gap :)

Dominick got a sick trick over the gap!  I don't want to say what spot we were at or what trick he got, but rest assured it was rad.  His homie Jackson is making a video I guess and he is going to have a part in it, can't wait to see what foootage lil homie is sitting on!  The trick that I filmed with him today will be in that video part, yipee!

Since David is currently hurt right now he was there as moral support.  Besides that he was also there goofing around as usual.  Of course he found a fire extinguisher in the abandoned building...and of course he had to mess with it!

Dom and I ran out of the warehouse with the quickness!  I didn't notice how much was being expelled from the extinguisher because I was looking through the lens of the camera and when I took it away from my face the entire place was filled with white powder.  So sketchy!

Dom and I ran out with the quickness!  David didn't.  He stepped out of there with the speed of Michael Myers, and the cool guyness of Dyson Ramones himself.  Ovs.

Here is a pic of Dom that I took before we left the spot.  I told im I was going to turn it into a fake Shake Junt ad, but I guess I was bluffing.

Picture wise that is about all I got.  I didn't go skate at all last weekend and since I went to the music fest thing yesterday I only skated today this weekend!  It is so weird when I don't skate all day every weekend.  I don't like not skating all weekend.  I was still rather sick last weekend so being on the chill tip was what I needed, but enough of that!  Sick or not, skating is a must on weekends!

I'll end the post today with a "Best Text."  This time it comes via Ryan Reyes while on I-Path's East Coast tour:

"Naked gall playing piano"

Then I said "pix0ritDiDnThappen," and Ryan replied:

"Haha hes got pants on now"

I seriously was laughing SO hard.  It's kind of an inside joke so I doubt anyone will get it besides us two.  Which is fine by me!

What's up everyone?

I haven't posted for a bit, I was pretty busy the last few days and also came down with a little bit of sickness.  Last weekend I went up north to Adam's house and spent the night up there with Trent McClung, Dylan Witkin, and Eduardo Craig.  The reason that we went up there was to film a park montage for The Skateboard Mag website!  We had a great time at the Santa Barbara park and hopefully it shows through in the montage once it is cut.  I would have started cutting it already if this sickness hadn't hit me so dang hard.  But as soon as I start feeling somewhat better I am going to start cutting away.


I've also been stacking clips with a certain somebody as of late.  The footage is going to be compiled together into a Mag Minute, also for The Skateboard Mag.  I'm not only excited to be cutting my first Mag Minute, but I am excited to get the homie in the limelight and let all you peeps recognize his gnar skillz.  Figuring out the song for this piece is going to be such a bitch though...why must finding a song always be sooo, so hard.


Dan Robert's "Skate Movie" part went up 2 days ago, watch it!  He skates to a super good song, and has some sick footy.  Pay close attention to the massive hit that he blows out at the end of his intro, it just keeps going, and going, and going...so sick! Hahahahahahahaha!
