learn to skateboard
Snowsnowsnow

So It’s kind of the tail end of December but thats not stopping me. I moved both of our cars out of our garage and used the free space in there. It’s challenging but I’m not giving up. I told my friend Catie about my endeavors and now she comes over every Friday and we learn together! It’s a lot of fun, especially when we sort-of-kind-of accomplish something.
I think the things that have inspired me are the move ‘Lords of Dogtown’ and my friends Bety and Pete. Seriously, go watch Lords of Dogtown though. It’s excellent, and you won’t want to wait until the movie is over to get back on your board; it’s awesome. It’s about the Z-Boys and the revolutionizing of skateboarding back in like, the 70’s.
And Bety is a few years older than me. I met her when I was a freshmen in high school, and she was a bit of a hero in my eyes for better or worse. And she was always skating with the guys and stuff like that. And Pete is another one of our friends and a few days ago we got on the topic of longboarding. And I decided this is my ultimate goal.
My plan is:
1)Learn to skateboard
2)Get my Tattoo
3)College in New Mexico
4)Longboard all day, ‘eryday

It’s gonna be pretty sweet and I’m looking forward to all the cuts, blood, and bruises(no broken bones please) that come with it. :]



read every book written by Chuck Palahniuk
two so far

go to more concerts
Mayhem!

So I was running some errands a few weeks ago when my friend, Steven called me with an extra ticket to Rock Star Mayhem Fest. How could I say no? We left for Tinley Park around 12 noon and got there like, 45 minutes before the gates opened. So we chilled for a bit.
But holy craaaaap. the bands were amazing! We saw:

3 Inches of Blood
Chimera
Atreyu
NORMA JEAN!
Five Finger Death Punch
Lamb Of God
Rob (white) Zombie
and headlining was Korn

it was fantastic! We met up with various friends (and made some new ones) and idk about him but I had an awesome time! though something tells me he enjoyed himself as well :)
