Last week I had a mini get away from my home of West LA. I went down to Fullerton to stay with Clint and get some hang and skate time. The trip was 4 days of shit talking. Just the way I like it. That's basically all you get when you hang out with this damn character. Kyle Walker, and Trevor Vaughan (the peeps Clint lives with) aren't in California right now so having a bed to use in the Treehouse (the name given to Kyle and Trevor's room) was the bomb! Kyle and Trevor have a bunk bed, and for some reason I think that's so awesome. I've spent nights asleep on the floor of the Treehouse, but this time around I took the bottom bunk since no one was there. The first morning when I woke up, staring at the ceiling of the bottom bunk I was greeted with this:

Unfortunately, if you wake up to this you did not have a comfortable bed to sleep in.

I'm just kidding, Trevor. I slept alright...I think! Clint and I met up with none other than Gonzo, and Myles Wright. I love skating with Myles because he will always surprise you, and he likes to talk shit back as well. Love getting him fired up. Not only that, but the fellow loves to quote the movie Friday! Any person who can drop lines from Friday in any and every situation is a great person in my book.

Myles thinking about the next mixtape he's going to download to his phone.

There's always a kick back period of time that tends to go down once you finish skating a spot. If legit tricks were made there is a celebratory vibe that you can't deny floating around in the air. If you're at a high bust spot you get in and out. When you're at chill spots you can't help but hang out for a bit and take in what just went down. We sure as hell always do this. Sometimes we stay longer than we'd like because we're always trying to get to hit up another skate spot. But either way, it's good times.

Skateboard tailgate party is what I like to call this.

My car has seen many of these things I call "skateboard tailgate parties." Almost every day that we go skate we pretty much open the back and post up at spots. Not everyone decides to skate the spots you end up going to and when a person doesn't have a trick for the spot they either kick it on the sidelines or pop up the back and post up. Enjoy skateboarding and all that it has to offer...on and off the actual board itself.

Peer pressure's a mothafucka. (Friday quote...for those who don't know)

After skating and dinner one night I started to troll Netflix to try and figure out what to watch. If you have Netflix you know that it can actually end up taking you longer to FIND / DECIDE what to watch than it takes to actually watch your flick. This night I came across Titanic 2 and it was on. I know what you're thinking...how can there be a Titanic 2? I'm about to get Yoda on that ass and say: "Don't think. Do." Watch the movie and see for yourself. Maybe James Cameron didn't sign on for this gem (I know I'm just as shocked as you are), but you're still in for a treat because Celine Dion recorded a great song for the soundtrack of this one as well. Do yourself a favor...

My last day at Clint's was a rather mellow one. We kicked it at the Ambiguous office and went out to lunch with those dudes. Osiris had sent a package their way and we got a chance to peep the goods...

D3's and G-Bag? All the fixin's you need to be the coolest kid in high school 10 years ago.

In other news. Just yesterday I got myself a white iPhone 4. I kind of miss my Blackberry...not going to lie. I think I'll miss BBMing with a few people more than anything. You know who you are Miss Theresa Wayman and Mr. Barrett Sweger. Well, I'm sure I'll miss having a keyboard at certain times as well! If you have a nifty iPhone and use Instagram then lets "follow" each other @richievaldez. I don't use Twitter so I feel weird using the term "follow" but I guess that's just the term you gotta use. Hello 21st century.
