Hmm, I turned 25 today, but lately I’ve been telling myself I’ve only been alive for at least a year. Just feels like this life shit has really started these past few years, even though I’ve been through a lot. I was wondering, who the fuck created years, birthdays, ages, time, etc. etc. etc. I guess I wasn’t wondering that hard because well I would have Wikied that shit by now, maybe I will.
Anyways what the fucks up. Went to the Durham park today. That little ledge that goes across the grass gap is gonna fuck some people up if they fuck up on the big hubba. Betta be locked in and comitted to where your gonna land or else look outs for them shins. The Grand Opening is November 7. Ujamma Boardhouse is right around the corner and in business. Dope little store with a mini ramp in the back. I woulda had a photo of the owner, Nick, banging out a back smith on it but my camera died right before I shot the photo. Anyways go check Ujamma out, Nick will school your ass on the health benefits of not eating meat and give you some other alternatives. Nick smiles a fuckload, so thats word, good diet = good feelings.
Moving along, Raleigh. It’s going. I’m still skating like a motherfucker if you really gave a shit. The kids over at NC State are having a game of skate October 24th in the area by the free expresion tunnel. Go out and get awesome. Speaking of which, I’m listening to this kid Madison Bullards mix of Andy Caldwell’s Hidden Cat song. So fucken ill. Madison jams out in Chapel Hill at a club, don’t know more details, but yea, hype shit.
I’m scoping out shitty video cameras so I can start filming for some bullshit.
Umm, in other news, go seek out the making of Element Skateboards video. Such rad shit. I’d link, but I’m lazy.
Well, peace, I gotta stay up all night attempting to make some music, some art, or maybe just who knows.
And I’ve contemplated trying to get some new forums up, I’ve tried installing 2 new ones but they’ve both suuuucked and not worked. So yea, give it some time, I know you guys want to talk shit to each other and what not, but hopefully they can be used for some good vibes, cause well… we need more of em in the world.
And fuck, happy birthday Justin.

happy birthday travis, 25 is a big year, its a year that you start to really figure some things out, it all starts coming together.
keep on keeping on.
Damn Travis, making me feel old as dirt… you’re turning 25 while I’m turning 35. Its all good though still getting my shred on and loving it. In fact, at this age its one of the few things I can find peace & happiness with… all the fiascos of life tend to just fade away while I’m kicking. Really dig the positive attitude you bring to the scene. Happy birfday bud, keep your shred up and the negative down.
yea, i was doin back smith grinds on that little miniramp this past weekend. that is in my top 3 for favorite skatespots ever. if you havent hit that place up, you should make it a point to go up there ASAP! and make sure you take everything out of your pockets because that ramp will throw you to the ground when you least expect it. hippers all day. little shops like that need more love from the skateboarders so go check it out.
