I saw a wino eating grapes, so I was like, Duuuuude! You have to wait...

About Me

AIM
rickyflipislhp
If you don't know me, then how do you do? If you know me, you know I'm just about as raw and genuine as they come. A true gentleman, a hip hop head from '93 til Infinity, a skateboarder who only comes off posin in front of some expensive ass cameras, a proud Polish-American, a savage beast, a gentle sweetheart, a shy introvert, a pit starting metal head, a seductive lover, a pride fighter, a compassionate nurturer, a conceptual artist, life of the party when no one else steps up (oh, the responsibilities of a gentleman. So selfless, so giving! Ha!), a musician bound to no one genre, passionate liver of life, punk rocker almost as down for the cause as Fat Mike, a mystic journeyman, an organizational mastermind, a filmer, a leader of the people, an intuitive listener, and a photographer. Now I'll go on with some more pretentious horse dook. They say I'm confident, but nah, I'm just cocky. They say I'm way too hard, but nah, I've just been known to get down. They say I'm out of my mind, but nah, it's just their opinion. Me in a nutshell. Think you can hang?If you're curious to see whether my music is garbeezy or not, then just click on my number one friend, Ricky Flip! and peep game for yourself...
Read the WISE WORDS TO LIVE BY in the BLOG and you will be pleasantly enlightened. No Joke.

My Interests

Peep me on Facebook

skateboards

surfbroads

surfboards

snowboards

writing/recording songs. These are all my musical toys I play with. Guitar, keyboard. I love just making something that will be around after I die. Leaving traces of myself in the product of music. I love songwritting because its the best way to rationalize your emotions, and vent. Whether its drama or comedy, it's all life acoustic.

creative writing. Poems, short stories, and songs lyics to lace my instrumentals with. I love entertaining various streams of consciousness, and finding different ways of saying the same thing. Traslating the same meaning, through different modes and styles.

reading with an open mind. Growing as a person, trying to integrate it all with what I have learned up until this point. Meditation is the key to feeling fresh, new, and avoid depression, mental stagnation and the mundane.
photography
videography

DPs, and cinematography. I'm into art, and the audio/visual digital mediums mostly. Music, Photography, Film. They affect me most because of their raw and naked relationship with human perception. I like conveying deeper meaning and truths in simple symbols and images. That's why I'll get irked if someone changes the channel during a good commercial I haven't seen yet. A part of me has found it's all about the little things in life, that set us free, and sharing those things with others.
the Polish, Poland, Poles
stiff drinks that aren't from the well, and...
cheap beer!

I'd like to meet:

You!If you're trying to add me, and you don't know me, just throw me a message first please. I want to meet people on here who are the real deal, no fakers. I really am a chill cat, but I'm not trying to have a butt load of people on my friends list that I don't know in the real. Just add "Ricky Flip" my Top 2. Same person, just a bigger friends list.

Messages with no chance of being responded to:

• My band is hella hella cool dude! Check us out!
• Hi, I'm sexybella, I'm such a cam-whore! Check me out at...
• See who's viewing your profile! I do Raisin bran ads too!
Can you guys just knock that shit off, please?

If I've never met you before, here are some messages I will respond to:

• Information about surf/skateboard demos, video premieres, sales, contests.
• Or if you're just someone form my past. Hit me up.

Salutations...
