Fire, Fire

It's Sat morning and I am up and alert early. I just finished watching the new Zero video "Strange World". Pretty typical Zero production, lots of big rails, gaps and single shots. Not really my cup of tea as far as skating is concerned but I have to respect the gnar factor.

Yesterday I watched the 1st of the Slap Pals questions with Ricky Oyola. His answers are a true reflection of who he is as a person. No fakin here. No holding back and no side stepping. He was "the" skater I looked up to as a kid and still do to this day. I remember being at Sub Zero getting some shoes and was about to skate the 15 or so blocks to LOVE. Rick comes in says what's up to everybody in the shop, asks if I am heading to LOVE and to come skate the "route' with him. To this day it was the most amazing thing I have seen in person (although watching Chris Senn bomb Delores St in SF from the top and ollieing through the intersections was insane). He was going Mach 11 doing kick flips in traffic, ollieing double man hole covers in intersections, switch flips, and this was the warm up on the way to LOVE. Needless to say I was about a block behind the whole way just pushing to keep up, ollieing the occasional curb, manhole spot. What did that have to with watching Strange World you ask...not much.

Tonite Sandra and I are going to the Improv in Hollwood for some comedy. She got the tickets for my birthday. We both the love the Improv and stand up. Should be a great time.

Well it's been quite some time since the last time I updated this here site. As it stands not really a whole lot has happened since the last update. I finished another class and started Life Drawing. 1 class in so far. It is interesting to sit and draw a body for 5 hours at a crack. Luckily for me the instructor is super cool. He plays music and we pretty much sit around and draw.
As for the elephant still in the room...I still have no job. But I did win a battle with EDD to continue my unemployment benefits. Fuckers.

I have been sick for almost a week and a half now and am starting to get real annoyed. It is the sort of sinus infuction that lingers for days. Can only do the bare minimum of anything before I get tired. Plus the amazing the substances that creep out of me after another TB coughing fit. But on the plus side I get to walk around in a Tylenol Sinus/Dayquil haze...always a bonus.

Before I got sick I had been riding my bike a ton. Can't wait to get back on. Even thinking about picking up the board again...I always seem to be saying that but then shine it at the last minute. I think mostly due to not having a partner in crime anymore. No fun to always skate by yourself.

So here we are.

Let's end this with a few things I am feeling and some shit I ain't feeling

Shit I'm feeling

Jamie T- Sticks and Stones - so sick!
Riding my bike - when healthy of course.
All the graff I have been seeing lately.
The Philadelphia Eagles!


Shit I ain't feeling
Christmas music
Rent
Charter Communications - WORST cable company ever.
Being sick

Hopefully I can continue to update this a bit more frequently.

See ya later.
