and if you dont know, (after watching this video) im sure you still dont know...
yeah yeah, i know its not skateboarding, but i skate, and im posting this and if you know me at all (i know you dont, and i know you dont care either) you know how into this band i am, and this song especially.. the lyrics are pretty ill...
so im posting the clip and the lyrics, sing along time!!
I'm glad to see you
I had a funny dream
And you were wearing funny shoes
You were going to a dance
You were dressed like a punk but you are too young to remember
I'm glad to see you
I'm outside the house
I'm not thinking right today
I've got no energy
I'm glad that you are waiting with me
Tell me all about your day
Breaking off is misery
I see a wilderness for you and me
Punctuated by philosophy
I'm wondering how things could've been
I'm happy for you
You've made it hard for me
I counted on your company
You are staying with your friends tonight
I'm feeling sorry for myself
I keep taking everything to be a sign
I'm happy for you
But now I know this hurt is poison
Too sharp to be bled
I'm sitting on my empty bed
I'm on my empty bed
At night the fever grows it's pounding pounding
I'd rather be in Tokyo
I'd rather listen to Thin Lizzy-oh
And watch the Sunday gang in Harajuku
There's something wrong with me, I'm a cuckoo
Scary moment, lovin' every moment
I was high from playing shows
We lost a singer to her clothes
My trouble raised its ugly head
I was revealed
And I was home in bed
I was a kid again
Jesus told me, go after every coin like it was the last in the world
And protect the wayward child
But I'm a little lost sheep
I need my Bo Peep
You know I need My Shepherd here tonight
Breaking off is misery
I see a wilderness for you and me
Punctuated by philosophy
I'm wondering how things could've been
I'd like to see you
But really I should stay away
And let you settle down
I've got no claims to your crown
I was the boss of you
And I loved you
You know I loved you
It's all over now
And I was there for you
When you were lonely
I was there when you were bad
I was there when you were sad
Now it's my time of need
I'm thinking, do I have to plead to get you by my side?
I'd rather be in Tokyo
I'd rather listen to Thin Lizzy-oh
And watch the Sunday gang in Harajuku
There's something wrong with me, I'm a cuckoo

late entry...
so i have this list of all time favorite board graphics. and til now they have all been from the early 90, 2 graphics total, the Todd Congelliere "icey bear mug shot" (or the dancing bear works as well) and the Jordan Richter "Safety Gear" graphic.
anyhow there is a board out on Bueno right now that has upped my all time favs to a total of 3...
Amen.
first time i ever went to S.F. i popped into FTC for a minute, while there i could hear someone shouting at the top of their lungs from like a block away, the shouting got closer and closer till finally it was apperant that it was bible verses, at that point the shouting was in FTC and was comming from Lennie Kirks mouth, he grabbed a sheet of grip and left all the while reciting bible passages at full volume, you could hear him for a few minutes after he left till he was out of earshot. Lennie was one of my favorites at the time (still is) so it was a pretty epic sighting for my first trip to S.F. from minnesota.
hopefully you didnt read all that and just watched the clip. i felt the need to say a lil something tho.
God bless the internet.
this clip pretty much has it all. i could go on and on and on about why this is so great, but i dont think i really need to say a single thing.
Trees
if you are from Minnesota chances are REAL good you know Trees. hes been a part of the local scene there for a good solid number of years. he knows EVERY spot and even a few that arnt spots. at any rate Trees is pretty rad, always gots something cookin' in the idea zone, last time i was there we skated the covered marble at the U in the rain... good times. 
the other day...
Jinx set up this wallride thing at the Volcom park, and when i say wall ride i mean hunk of wood leaning on the wall. anyhow, it was fun to roll out and do a lil wallride and roll back in but, it wasnt long till Remy and Devon started trying to transfer from the tranny to the wood (about 12 feet from one to the other and the wood was about ready to explode at any second). i dont have a Remy photo, he was doing it frontside, Devon hit that shit backside, and i do have a photo of that...
the great Chris Reed
my homie Chris did some art for some AWS boards a bit back (i think i actually posted something about then in my early days of blogging), anyhow, there is a neat thing up on the AWS site about him and the graphics... have a look.
