What Is It?

Aside from terrorizing the deepest and darkest secretive wikipedia articles, imagining king kong just busting through, and putting on a demonstration to all the big dicks of the Sunceri Construction company on how to properly install a shower, I've been filming skateboarding A lot! I love skateboarding so fucking much! If you watch the John Cardiel documentary you can understand every important facet of life within about a sixty minute duration. In it Phelps says something along the lines of:
"Enjoy skateboarding, If it gets too scary, get the fuck out! You were never meant to skate!" Chance isn't scared of shit! I can't really skate anymore at all, but I will love it until I'm dead.

Oh Shit Son!

Sitting in the Lyons in Sacramento. Joe is eating a salad stoned out of his mind and I'm loading up Beach Boys so Fern can put it on his ipod and waiting on a club sandwich. On the way here we saw undercover cops with the guns out fucking yelling to this drunk bitch to get out of her ride and get on the ground. Pretty sick! Made me think of Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon.

Super Sick

Went and saw the final Gris Gris show last night. That probably doesn't mean anything to most of you, but it should. The show was at the Ghost Town Gallery, which is like this super hipster catacomb, to quote the great Robbie Reaves, in the heart of one of the worst portions of the San Pablo strip. All of the Oakland hipsters showed up for this event. I even saw Francisco and we caught up on everything that I'd been missing out on in the mix. The show was fucking rock n' roll. They fucking jammed hard and it was great! They played a version of Necessary Separation that was so fucking awesome! I won't forget that shit ever! Afterward, Ferny clowned on me cause when everyone was dancing around he was encouraging me to dance with this one girl and I wouldn't do it. Whatever?..

It's All Good

Except that the fan in my computer is going crazy from too much youtube perusing.

Go To Oakland

And see The Gris Gris play they're final show at The Ghosttown Gallery on Saturday the 26th!

The Fridge

Cash Stackers

This is The Sweed. I wish that I could go into greater detail about this guy, but I don't want certain people reading about what goes on in the plumbing world. Like my boss for instance. It's likely that he would never see this blog, but it is the internet and people can get down to cruising the internet pretty hard. It's not that we do anything wrong, or bad, or something? I just want to respect Sweed's privacy. I am sure he wouldn't be down to be on Youtube. Here Is a raw clip from Cash Stackers. I've only been filming random things when I get the chance, sometimes doing interviews with people who are interesting. I am hoping to have a pilot eventually but who knows?

Hey

Here is another cool thing from another big dog! doing Tom Petty's "You Got Lucky"!!!!!!!

Arm's Way

This is the new Islands album and It's so fucking sick! The song Vertigo is probably the best indie rock song to date! Straight up!

sup guyz?

I hung out with Nick Diamonds in San Francisco yesterday. We had some organic ocean basil pizza and he gave me a copy of the new Islands cd. It's good. It's great! Then I went and bought some mushrooms from Brandon Prior(15 dollars an eighth) and watched cup speed stacking championships and John, Mike, and I made noodle soup with all the funny thingz. Why would those kids want to handle cups in such a manner? Interesting? Me, Jimmy, Riggz, and Stainz watched There Will Be Blood and Riggz was so fired up! He was fucking Pumped up! Goin' off about how he used to work on an oil rig and how in the event of an emergency you had to be able to get off of it within like ten seconds or else you were toast! Sounds like fun? I want to get baptized and see if anything fun happens afterward. Wish my mustache was still floppin' around.. floppy. Check your fantasy baseball boys and girls and go to sleep. I didn't really hang out with diamonds, but I did steal his cd from the internet..

Jack Hammer

Towards the end of the night last night Roman was explaining the funniest thing that could possibly be even thought up! He's talking about sex right, and there is me, Tyler, Joe, Maia, Bowser, Anni, and Michael all drinking fucking Jameson shots and getting so twisty and Roman is going the fuck off about this sex move called the Jack Hammer. Step one: rock hard boner. Step two: Slam downward into the orifice. Jack Hammer.. I think Bowser said something like: "It wiggles around like a jack hammer?"

The World According To Fernando

Ferny is a tripper right. He's hilarious always saying funny little Fern shit. I notice myself starting to speak in his lingo more and more cause it's more fun than talking serious. Like saying: "It's been a minute" or "She's looking cool" or just yellin' "OHHHhhh!" hella loud all the fucking time for no real reason but that your just feelin the vibe. Anyway's, today he's riding in my ride with me and we're listening to The Magnetic Fields. I say: "Sorry Fern, this might be a little emo but I gotta blast it right now.." As we're listening to it he explains to me that it's not emo at all and that it's just sad and that there is a difference. This video is the song, but i couldn't find a full version and I'm not sure what this is all about but it makes me feel a little strange..

holler

Now I'm awake. Little Leonard Cohen to shake off the little slinky sleepy men. Thinking about that Roy Orbison song in Blue Velvet that John is always singing. Chance has my digital camera in his car. I left it in there when he visited Joe and I in Sac. I won't be able to take any pictures today for my blog gosh dangit. Meeting up with the gang at the park at 11 0'clock. I'm so excited for the weekends because I get to film. I was feeling weird about it, thinking why I'm so into getting other people on film? All these guys just want to see themselves on film and use me for this shit. Why should I want to do this? I thought for awhile. Perhaps it's some sort of hidden nostalgia? I've always loved skateboarding and filming skateboarding. I have been trying to skate again. It's good for the mind. Really I think I love to film because of things like real life, and photography, and just the want to out do myself in every aspect of anything I thought I could do or ever will do. I glance up to think of what I just wrote and feel diminutive in all the trials and tribulations of making anything. I have to plumb all week so that I can make all these payments and get through all this bull shit just so I can try and weasel the weekend towards time for making a film. It's so worth it. The American way. Get all these thing's you want, Work, and pay the fucking bills and keep working towards what you really want. Top the day off with alcohol and dreams. When your working, think about the dreams. Everyone is on the same page. There is such a vibe. We are doing something special and we are making a film. Rock N' Roll..

Further into the future

just thinking about life.

Rock and Roll

Is the name of the video that is in progress. Been filming every weekend for the past three weekends. Discovering spots and rolling with the Fridge and Brian and Fern and Lopes. Joe comes and hangs out every now and then. This is Bone and a slight preview for what I may or may not be fucking with now adayzzz...
