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.

Philly Phreeeeeeeeze!!

This day was cold as shit. Wintertime in Philly can be alright at times and extremely shitty other times. We kinda lucked out this day and managed to get alot done. I don't skate with a crew of people. Usually it's me and another person. That person being a filmer or a photographer. My buddy J-bo doubles as both at times. He does it for the love. Dude makes no money shooting photos, and he's always pushing me to go out when I rarely feel like doing much of anything that day.

Thanks homie!

TRAFFIC JAM

One of the best things about having your own blog is that you can say just about anything you please. Actually I can say EVERYTHING I please...So let's get down to business.

Everyone, meet Brannon John. In case you didn't know. He rips. He came to the park today and killed it. Everytime I see him, I kinda get on his case about Traffic. It's not that he doesn't answer me. It's just that after a while, it gets a little old..So let me say what I feel needs to be said.

BRANNON JOHN GOT SLEPT ON.....period. Take what you want from it...I don't care. Dude is good and for some odd reason or another there was a gridlock over at the Traffic camp. Where's the Brannon footy? I'm not placing the blame on anyone directly because I can't go off rumors. But it is what it is. Whatever arrangement they got over there seems to be working out...but damn if we need to see more of Brannon in the Traffic videos!!! C'mon now!!

Alright, let me stop before I stir up some shit...
