Below is a link to some of my recent school projects. All responses and critiques are welcome and appreciated. Unless you are just being a pretentious asshole...then you can fuck right off.

Tues is the new Mon in the blog world
It's now the second week of March and the search for an apartment in Philly is in full swing. I've been in touch with a real estate person to aid in the search since we are 3000 miles away. It seems like we will be able to get what we want (pretty much) in a nice walkable Center City location. The only real deal breakers would be no A/C and no W/D in the unit. The summer is entirely too hot and humid not to have a/c and the convenience of the in unit w/d dryer cannot be overstated.
Out here in the LA area we have a very helpful rental site called Westsiderentals.com. You pay $75 and instantly have access to much better listings than what you see in the papers and the internet sites such as rent.com, apartmentfinder.com, etc. Does anybody out there know of any such site in the Philly area? I know that working with the realtor will cost more than that but as of right now I am unsure how much that will end up costing. Any help from my people out there would be greatly appreciated.
Now back to the fun stuff. I had a pretty good weekend even though it rained most of the time. We got out at night and went over to our favorite watering hole, The Red Room. A great place to drink, watch the occasional skate vid, scope on the cute girls or just sit and talk junk on everyone around who we deem uncool...my personal favorite past time. Also I was able to get out and ride my bike a couple times. I would have been skating but it was wet most of the time, and I was a bit hungover. Never a good combo.
This week has started off pretty well. I received a surprise in the mail from EDD, 4 checks that I have been waiting on for what seems like forever. Plus one of them had a continued claim form so that means at least one more check. I need this $$$ badly. I got habits...
As I have said on here a bunch lately, I have been skating quite a bit when my body feels up to it. It is great but now I remember how fast you burn through boards, wheels and shoes. The shoes part I have covered, working for DVS/Lakai for 6 years has left me a stockpile of shoes. I would prefer to run another brand after the way I was let go but I can deal by painting over the logo's. Now boards and wheels on the other hand are a different story. I just put together a set up last night that consisted of a previously skated Furnace shop deck and some no name wheels I have had laying around for years. Not exactly a "buttery" set up...at least I have new Thunders. Enough bitching and moaning...at least I have a set up.
As per usual I have a couple videos for you to check out.
1st up in Chris Mulhern's new video entitled "This Time Tomorrow". I am really looking forward to seeing this when it comes out. Should have ton's of Philly footage as Chris is either from the city or lives there and films there now. I encourage you to buy it not download it as I have had some communication with him and he seems like a good dude. Without further adue here is the trailer.
Next up is the upcoming film from Blueprint Skateboards entitled "Making Friends with the Colour Blue". If you have ever seen anything from the Blueprint fellas then you know this will be one not to miss. Parts from all the team including, Chewy Cannon (personal fav of mine), Neil Smith, Nick Jensen, Danny Brady, newest team memeber Marty Murawski and the rest of the squad. Grimy London and European spots mixed in with Dan Magee's filming and editing. Sure to not dissapoint. Check it out and then go skate a gravely bank to ledge.
That's it for today folks. Until next time...Late.
