Happy New Years! So far, mine's been great. Saw Gas Light Antham, who were great; then Circa Survive, whom were amazing. Finally, THURSDAY. The longest set they've ever played. A JERSEY BAND IN JERSEY PLAYING!!! They were celestial, awe-striking. On New Years Day, i got my first skate wounds of 2008!! Bombing this massive hill in Manyuck with a board with too tight of trucks (dammit Greg!) on wet asphalt. It was amazing. i was flying! With an open bottle of Jack in my hand (No clue why i was told to carry it), screaming "Happy New Year!" to people, and them doing it back and watching. Didn't wanna get lost, so i tried putting my foot down as a brake. Let me tell you, trying that at a high speed on a wet road is dangerous, but still amazing. Board turned every which way, and i slid on the ground. Almost got ran over (not really, just oncoming traffic); i just wove to the guy, screamed again, and walked back up the street. Best hill bomb ever. Bomb hills, not countries.Well, now, this year has become a difficulty. Sure, ii'm twenty-one, but who cares? My Grandfather just passed. A loving, devoted man that i will never forget. i only hope my euology paid Him the respect and love that i contain for Him. Love those around you, and love what you do- you never know when Life will take these wonders.Tis now May. Trying to get through this court crap. Trying to skate more. Trying to quit cigarettes. One week from now i will be employed. Trying to get my life in order. But above all- trying not to lose my mind while my babe lives hundreds of miles away to the south. i miss you Jonel. You're the love of my life. But you already knew that- just figured i'd let everyone else in on it.So, a bit about me... i'm an avid reader, forever seeking to gain more knowledge. i love writing, even if i'm not good at it. Skating is a deep, lifelong passion of mine. Forever roll. Music is forever playing on my stereo and in my head, ranging from anything to everything. i'm fairly eclectic. A good conversation is worth a lot more than a "penny for your thoughts" . Politics interest me, as they should everyone. i wish to save the earth for the Leavers and the Takers, before the Takers dstroy it for all. If you're reading this, you're a Taker- try leaving more. i love the outdoors, forever in surch of secret little nowheres. i skate my dog Jack daily, and we both love it. No trauma or difficulty will stand in my way. Try me.If you wanna know things about me, good luck on here. Try it in person. Much better. Oh yeah. VOTE. Don't be an idiot. The future is all of ours.
