Not Ballin

Gotta love paying bills. I started out with a knot...and now I am one of the have kNOTs. 

I guess I shouldn't really complain too much because at least I'm able to pay them...but man, it sucks all the same. 

I may just take that last dollar and buy a scratch off with it. I was gonna buy a cheeseburger with it, but you can't possibly win $1,000 eating a cheeseburger...can you?

I'm Back. But who's listening anyway?

Ok, so it has been quite a long long time since I have posted on this thing. Why? Well, I don't have a valid reason. I Just kind of forgot about it. Truth be told, no one reads this shit anyway. But just in case my mom is reading it...Lemme redo that sentence..(she's not a big fan of cursing) Truth be told, no one reads this "crap" (crap is ok) anyway.

"Blogs are so hot write now." That should be on a shirt.

It's 1:27 in the am, and later today I am gonna go skate. Same agenda as usual. But different approach. May call a filmer. May call a photographer. May call my mama. One of the three. My sponsors, what's left of them, are hoping I call the first two. We'll see.

My Block

Ok, my block is kinda hood. I'll keep it real with you. I have seen and heard some crazy shit happen on my street. But on thing that is consistent is the pornos I find lying on the ground. Usually in front of my neighbors house. It's a house full of Mexicans and you never see the same one's longer than a month or so. One night, the US Marshalls came and took one of them to jail.

Anyway, this is one of the many porns I found on their stoop. Gotta love it. I had no idea Mexicans like black women with fat azz's..I guess you learn something new everyday.

Face Off Fridays

I just don't update this thing that much. In all honesty, can't say I have been too busy. I have just been doing alot of bullshit. So pretty much, Focus Magazine pitted two people that hardly know each other in a video contest. For me, I look at it as just another way to get my video out. Period. In this game, if you can get anyone to watch your footage, let alone sponsor you, you're golden.

However the severe drawback to this "contest" is the ridiculous hating that comes along with it. It's sad. People think we're out to get each other. Funny thing about it is, I bet Jamal Smith doesn't even know he's in this thing. He's probably having the time of his life, just skating. But people, other people, take it so much further. Truth be told, I like the way Jamal skates. It's different.

Living in Philadelphia, it's definitely a change from the corduroy wearing, flannel shirt sporting, pole jamming going on. Oh, and need I forget the ultra tight panted, heavy metal smith grinding going on.

It's different. But whatever. Peep it over at FOCUSSKATEMAG.COM...hate me on if you like.

kiTouch

Okay, shame on me.. Shame on me. First of all, I don't need this ipod. I really don't. I can think of about a billion other more constructive things to do with my hard hustled money. But I just had to have it. Two of my friends have one and I fell in love with it. I got it for pennies on the dollar, so I couldn't say no.

Scuba Steve

Scuba Steve. I have far far too many stories for this guy. One thing about Steve is that through all the years of skating, he NEVER let's me film him. It's so funny. But on this particular day, I didn't make my trick and he was tooling around with this nollie back lip. Needless to say, by the time he stuck it, the only way we could find our way out was by my camera light. It was really cool watching my friend work hard and roll off into the darkness, accomplished and tired.

Nice job homie.

Winter 09'

This winter has been kicking my ass. I swear to you, yesterday, I was skating in a t-shirt. I'm not kidding. I was skating outside in a t-shirt!! I heard the next day it was supposed to snow, but I just figured the weatherman was full of shit like always. Boom, 4-6 inches of snow and skating is put back into the indoor park again.

Nothing to do but make the most out of things.

This is what the neighborhood kids made. I like how they made the crown top out of an old hubcap. That's pretty damn creative. Gotta love South Philly.
