All I know is that I don't know

So if you have been following this blog (all 2 of you) then you know that I just got back from a trip to Vegas with Sandra. You can probably catch all the details I will be omitting over at her super blog.
Drove out there early in order for me to watch the Eagles game. We made great time even with snow on both sides of the 15. Crazy to see snow in the desert. Anyway got into Vegas, checked in at the hotel, Planet Hollywood and then I went down to the sports book to play video poker and watch the game. Sandra went to the mall for some Christmas shopping. The bartender was super cool and was mostly interested in getting me drunk, great plan. Needed the drinks as the game sucked. But I did win some $$$ and met up with Sandra for some lunch. The rest of the afternoon is blurry with gambling, winning, drinking and winning. We both won a bunch of $ on the slots and video poker. It was surreal actually as we both won consistently. Those of you who have been to Vegas know that never happens. This was basically the way the weekend went for us. It was so good that we barely left the hotel. Good thing we did though. I won $500 at the Golden Nugget and Sandra won as well.
Bailed out of Vegas on the 3rd day but before heading home we hit a couple of off the beaten path spots. The neon bone yard and the remains of the Moulin Rouge. That was actually kind of fun as we had to trespass to get the good photos. The neon bone yard was really cool but the tour was too long. Or maybe I know I too much about Las Vegas history. Anyway back on the 15 for the drive home. Very excited about our winnings but more excite to see the guys.

Hope you are thoroughly bored now and want to listen to some tunes. While you listen to the couple songs below feel free check out the list of shit I'm feeling lately. Mainly just random things that have been getting me hyped lately.

Shit I'm Feeling
in no particular order

The Eagles smashing the Cowboys to get in to the playoffs. I'm still laughing...
Doodling - does doing the same thing over and over still count???
The Bourne Ultimatum - awesome! No explanation necessary.
Bomb the System - see this movie!
Piecebook - dope graffiti book!
Tagging - keep it street
Stickering
Radley and Stevie playing chase


Play these. Classic skate tunes. You know them, you love them.


Operation Ivy - Knowledge
Was there ever a better skate band than Op Ivy?? Nope. Did they make the H-Street videos better than they were already? Yes.



The only other band to be as closely associated with eskating in my mind are the Odd Numbers. They did a million songs for The New Deal videos when New Deal was the shit!

Odd Numbers - Holiday
from The New Deal promo video


Until next time keep it dirty.
