fell off

I took a nap and didn't get much more done today...I did get a bunch of packs ready to mail off tomorrow.

Ahhhh, and I watched a bunch of clips of Grizzly Man on Youtube. The guy that hung out with with bears until one decided to eat him, it's weird that he thought he was immune to getting eaten.

Skateboarding.. I LOVE IT!

My buddy Jedd and I skated some parks today in the afternoon, Burien and Kent.. both parks I haven't been to in a couple years now. I was fighting a mini-hangover when we got to Burien, stayed up too late drinking Busch Light's and watching "Let the right one in", such a good movie. I keep running into people that recommend it, I finally watched it online. If you haven't seen it, WATCH IT.. it's a vampire movie, so moody and good. It made me want to get back into filming.. got to do it!
So, we skated Burien then on to West Hill skatepark in Kent AKA Fennwick skatepark AKA Reith Road skatepark. It's one of my favorite parks, really old and not built great.. but, it's where I learned to skate flow type transitions. I will always have a big part of my heart devoted to that park.
It looks like a whole new crew of locals skate there now, I didn't recognize any of them. That park attracts the biggest group of scumbags... I love it! A true beer-drinking park.
I have to skate more, it's ridiculous how little I've been skating lately.

Oh, a little bit more about what goes on at Burien skatepark. Jedd told me that last time he was there, two kids were in a full blown argument about Insane Clown Posse, that kind of says it all. People have been shot at that park, it's out of control.



After I got home, I went for a run to get the recommended daily amount of exercise.. and to work off some Taco Bell foodstuffs, Damn, now I feel great. It's been such a good day so far. Hells yes!

this morning

It's a gorgeous day.. I'm fueled by dreams and fire.
I can't believe how good I feel.. I LOVE IT!!



It's going to be a seriously productive day, I'm burning through all my old screen printing ink and random fabric.. I'm making a ton of patches out of this stuff. OHHHHHHHH!

Karl Addison

Narboo and I were stopped on the street a couple nights ago. I was taking a photo of some stuff and this guy started telling us about this scary/disturbing street art that he saw.. "I think it's Osama Bin Ladin". He brings up a photo on his phone.. it wasn't Osama.. far from it.. it was BUBBA!! Karl Addison's Bubba head on Pike. It was pure entertainment that the guy thought it was Osama.

Ironically, we were meeting up with Karl. We also passed the Bubba head on the way downtown.. it was torn in half (R.I.P. Bubba head.. you will always be in our hearts)
Karl told me a story that his aunt and uncle saw a kid climbing a light pole and taking down some canvas and wood pieces that we put up and asked him what he was doing.. he told them that he was a vigilante and the stuff didn't belong up there. More entertainment.. we both came to the conclusion that he just wanted the stuff, which is great... that's the whole reason I put canvas pieces up, to be taken.
Good times!

Karl may be on this reality show about emerging artists, he left for a casting call on Wednesday... I'm already confirmed as part of his entourage when he becomes super famous.. hells yeah!!

Karl rules!! check out his stuff at the partybots link

sleep patterns

I ordered a memory foam mattress at 3am about 3 days ago, I received an email today.. IT IS ON IT'S WAY! I can't wait! I've been sleeping on a pile of blankets on a hard wood floor for about a year... MEMORY FOAM!!! come and change my life! I beg of you, help me dream deep.
In the meantime, I'm up and making stuff and wasting time.


screen printed patches, I need good ink and I'm blowing through all this older fabric and ink. Good times!

lack of sleep...is good

My lack of sleep for the last week propelled me into a "full moon" type of day today. Way too much random madness coming off of people all day today. I get to the point that I'm not exactly sure when I'm awake or asleep. I can't tell what memories are from dreaming or "real" life.. and I like it like that. The crazier the better, fuck it!

I painted these running dino-dogs today to illustrate the anxiety I felt coming off the world today, who knows where that came from. I miss Las Vegas.
