About Me

I am Shamrock. I skate therefore I am, therefore I skate, therefore I am, therefore I drink. Learn from me, for I am omnipotent, and built to grind! Remember these things brothers and sisters; Your TV is rotting your brain, and it watches you while you sleep. If you're not on Indys, you're not flowing. Toss out your Trackers, and get on some trucks that turn. Support AZPX, Skaterbuilt, Indy, Concrete Wave, Shitbird, Juice and the oldschool in general. Read the classics, not necessarily what's on the best seller list. Live while you have the chance, because you only get to be here once. forget the left. forget the right, live for those you love, be yourself. Don't trust the man!

Two Johns, Lennon and Wayne and Other Random Rantings

Solos From Olympus, Part I

I was missing my Father today, and that's nothing new. The old man's been dead a decade now, but seldom a day goes by without my thinking of him, and it's always good when I do. I'm sure that there we...
