Tyler's probably better than you.

Tyler Tufty killed it at 29 this year. He won best trick. He did many best tricks, but these are all I got caught in pixels.
Down the picnic table: Backside Noseblunt to regular and to fakie, Fakie ollie fakie 5-0 and nollie heelflip noseslide. Damn, he still got it! Oh and that's the legendary "Tom Penny of Alexandria" Brendan Kelley, in the background by the way, he switch flipped the picnic table about an hour before these shots were taken (in about 4 tries, nbd). You probably think you could do it but you can't. Tyler's probably better than you. Berzerkers forever.

Wicked cool

Nice looking site too.

Billy Rosser!

I just found something for you to do in New York this weekend.

I'm not a vegetarian. I do not consider myself an animal rights activist. But, COME ON!

"Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it’s cracked up to be. That’s why people are so cynical about it. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is… if you don’t risk everything, you risk even more."

Tony Hawk Experience

This is truly hilarious/amazing. Tony Hawk (who I follow on Twitter) posted this and kinda got some shit for it. At first I thought it was pretty lame, but all proceeds go to his foundation, which builds skateparks in low income areas like Compton.

Party mode

same as it eva was.

Thirty one is a big number.

Today I celebrate my birthday and I wanted to be sure everyone online knew about it. I got a nice long card from Facebook for that. So thanks Facebook, for making life strange in so many ways and birthdays super-celebrated online! And thanks mom for having me.

One of the coolest things I got for my birthday so far, online, was this awesomely strange picture. So thanks Dave O.

Live it.

"And if my thought-dreams could be seen
They'd probably put my head in a guillotine
But it's alright, Ma, it's life, and life only."

My car on Bing!

Bing is Microsoft's wannabe Google, and I think I just found my car on its "Maps." It has a pretty cool "birds eye" view function a little different than Google. Much better for finding the best pools in your hood! Dogtown!

The essence of what it all means to me

"If we're lucky, writer and reader alike, we'll finish the last line or two of a short story and then just sit for a minute, quietly.
Ideally, we'll ponder what we've just written or read; maybe our hearts or our intellects will have been moved off the peg just a little from where they were before. Our body temperature will have gone up, or down, by a degree. Then, breathing evenly and steadily once more, we'll collect ourselves, writers and readers alike, get up, "created of warm blood and nerves", as a Chekhov character puts it, and go on to the next thing: Life. Always life."

-Raymond Carver
