Plastic Ono Band -Classic Albums
It's been a long time since I have been so moved, shaken, and stirred by something. Tonight that happened. Plastic Ono Band was the first solo album by Lennon. It was without a doubt, absolute fire breathing brilliance. It was John Lennon being totally raw and unfiltered as a person and a musician, stripped down reflection in minimal form. I always knew the album was heralded as a masterpiece, and I myself have enjoyed it for years, but tonight I spent 53 minutes really learning all about the album. If you have Netflix, and want to be inspired by a great, I wholeheartedly endorse this film.
If you know nothing about the album, well, it's a great place to start.

Happy Hour
Last night I bought a new lens ($200) from a dude on Craigslist. He met me at Cogans.
Happy birthday to me. I snapped off a few frames to make sure it worked and I'm pretty sure it does.
Here's a convincing review of the lens. In summary, I have a new lens, Cogan's happy hour is tight and I scored a sweet deal. Oh, and I got to try some girl's awesome bike.

Real Street X Games challenge
So I am just now catching the point of this Real Street X Games contest. The best 60-second video wins $50,000. The finalists in include the below...
How can you judge this stuff!? Both are incredible.

I pick Daewon. As enjoyable as Dylan Reider is to watch skate, Daewon is better and way more original. Whatever though; skateboarding was never meant to be a competition like this, and these two videos can help you understand why.
