and so it starts...

shit talking at it's finest...

isn't he that dude?

yeah he's that dude that rides for that shop everyone knows about.
you won't find his banner out front.
his name isn't in the forefront of all the montages.
he's not a loudmouth.
not a ton of flair.
nice to pretty much everyone..
skates because he loves it.
you know...he's got all the qualities of being an underdog.
but i won't label him that way. because lord knows, when this kid is feeling it..it's a wrap.
sweaty t-shirts, flat spotted wheels, and way more flatbar balance than most people..
he's pure definition of a workhorse.

well.
it's his time to shine...
time to put his name on the marquee.
because he deserves it.
proud of my homie...dude gets it done..
meet shane colville.

Real Life.

I remember I went thru hell and back trying to get on this shop. One time I was on for a day....got kicked off the next because I didn't live in the city. 

Then I tried to get on again...denied. Afterwards I moved away...came back with a stack of sponsors ... and ended up moving above the shop. I didn't need em. 

THAT didn't go so well.  One day I came home to find my sponsor me tape smashed on my doorstep.  Needless to say I didn't think I was welcome.

sanity.

i can do everything in life except run & skateboard.
seems that the gym is my only real saving grace.
i miss skateboarding so damn much.
but i know i have to have some patience.

i don't do much.

Never claimed to be perfect.
Each day, I make a ton of mistakes left and right.
They say that the mistakes you make help you learn in life.
So in my own realm, I must be a true genius.

My life is pretty simple. Work. Skate. Gym.
Work is okay.
I've managed to do something most can't seem to do at my job...
and that is to NOT get fired.

Can't skate right now.
Took a bad ankle injury that has been a hellish road of recovery.
Missed my Cali trip with the homies.
But I played hype man via text, internet.

Don't have a girlfriend.
Screwed that up.
Surely my track record isn't a shining one.
But in theory, who's is?

I work on alot of artwork.
Most people never really see it unless I post it.
Selling it has been recommended.
But I like to look at it.
So it's hard to part with it.

My homelife is pretty separated.
Not many have been to my house.
My family has never been to my house.
Just my cousin.


Got two dogs.
I share them with an ex girlfriend.
Trust me...
that's fun.

Got friends in jail.
Each month I send them money,
and thank God I'm not sitting next to them.

Each day I read.
And try to spread a little wisdom,
of prosperity, determination & focus,
to those around me in need.

I got a best friend whom I never see.
Got another one that for some odd reason,
i was enemies with...long time ago.

Hoarding has slowed a bit.
Kinda ran out of space.
