Sunday Ramp Festival

Outside it's windy and rainy, and The Draft doesn't start until 5:45PM.
On the upside it's the perfect day to build a mini-skatepark.



It's also completely possible I have too much time on my hands.

Vision Quest

Same Motherfucker That I Ever Was...

...except I don't smoke anymore.

That's right. As of February 14th 2009 I'm a non-smoker. So suck on that all you bitches who hoped I'd die an early death due to a smoking related illness. You want me out early? Then you need to be proactive and come get some. Seriously, I've got energy for days now.

But for real here's a list so you don't have to ask me in person:

Pro: My wife is proud of me
Con: Spending some money on chewing gum

Pro: Saving money
Con: Blood-flavored chewing gum

Pro: I can smell all kinds of stuff I never smelled before
Con: Cat piss, dog shit, and poverty smells just like cat piss, dog shit and poverty

Pro: I have more time on my hands
Con: I daydream alot...which is bad in my line of work. I've been doing alot of U-Turns.

Pro: I replaced smoking with skateboarding....circa 1987
Con: A John Grigley "Mask" deck from 1987 aint cheap. But you can get an '88 Grigley reissue for something more reasonable. Word.

Quitting smoking is a bitch....for a day or two. But it's not pain, it's just uncomfortable. Me? I like having extra money to spend, and my wife and kids think I'm awesome for quitting. So I can put up with some discomfort for that kind of props. Plus I'm getting myself an old school board to cruise around as a way to reward myself. You know, because I'm awesome.

When it's 74 degrees and sunny this is how we get down...

..or this way. I'm having trouble deciding.
