Falling Behind.

I've still been quite busy. I've booked and cancelled a flight in the last two weeks. Fucked up my shin and had to get stitches. Decided to move to Manor, SK with my brother and friend. Still working at Wal-Mart. Had my last appointment in Thunder bay for my wrist. I've basically been running around with my head cut off. I have edited and uploaded new videos on my Facebook, YouTube and Flickr. I'll update after the move this weekend once I/we get all settled in. Oh. One of the guys I follow on my Flickr who takes amazing HDR's just posted some from the Falls! Kinda cool. Check them out here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bryanscott/


I have been taking a few photos while at the park these past few days. Here is a kinda cool one that I like.

Oh yeah!

My ATM deck that I got replaced cause it broke all weird and I got it replaced.... well I skated the replacement last night for an hour.... look how that went.


Depending on how ATM handles this shit.... I may not ever ride their boards again.

October.


The weather sucks right now. Some days it's raining, other days it's snowing and when it's not doing either of those it's windy as fuck and really cold. No skating for me! Bunk. It's my birthday on Saturday. I'll be 23. Woooo. Birthday's aren't that cool anymore. I mean, I already got most of my presents. Money from relatives, new tires on my Pathfinder, heck , I even got an ice cream cake from DQ already. I guess I just have Facebook wall posts to look forward too..... how exciting, lol. Not much to report this evening. I'm still super busy doing stuff. Lots on my plate. I have some design stuff I'm doing for my brother. Some art projects I want to finish. Soph is in the hiz-ouse and she needs much attention and brushing I might add. I'm trying to get some stuff tired up around the house, because a move may be in the works for me. Trying to sort that shit out. I have a doctor's appointment in Thunder Bay next week. I am flying to Toronto to go see Metallica again and drive home from Barrie with a friend. Still have to decide how I'm going to break that little bit of news to Wal-Mart. I don't really care to be honest. I usually try to put forth my best efforts while working there, and don't get me wrong I still do. I just have lost the will to put forth that much effort into something that I know isn't gonna do anything for me, aside from put gas in my car basically. Sounds bad, but it's not as terrible as I make it sound. Anyways, enough babble. Cute cat photo to end it..... I think so.



The Soph watching Jim and Pam tie the knot. Good episode if I do say so myself.

Oh! While I was in Winnipeg I bought some new shoes. To my surprise, this morning while at work I looked down and noticed this!!!


I haven't even touched a board with them yet. They are 2 days old. They have come nowhere even close to a sheet of grip tape. I assume they are defective. A bad piece of material that just ripped as opposed to the sole breaking in like the right shoe. Who knows! I've contacted both the shop and Lakai directly. We'll see what happens.

Sophboarding.

This is pretty extreme! Readers.... *silence* this creature is known as *dun dun dun* The Soph. Aka Sophie, Soph, Blinkin', Squints, the list goes on!

Home

I arrived home today with my ex's cat Soph. I got a speeding ticket on the way.... that fucking sucked. 113KM in a posted 90KM zone. $111.13..... lame. I made a shit ton of money out west. All of which went on my VISA. Bought some flashy gear in Winnipeg. Saw Metallica live.... AMAZING. Got my RAM fixed in the new (old) iMac for free. :) Now I'm just chilling in Fort. My parents got me new tires on my Pathfinder for my birthday... excellent! All is well. And well, (cat) hair is everywhere. I took a lot of pictures out west, many HDR's. I will try to get them up on here and Flickr ASAP. Now I must go play catch up on missed TV shows. Oh and do 1000 push ups... cause i'm not a lazy person who just watches too much TV... Noooooo.

I Made It.


I made it to Saskatchewan last night at about 5PM. That put me here for 4PM at there time. It was a solid 8 hour drive. Not too interesting. A few cool sights, mainly flat farm land and oil pumps though. I did almost hit a deer though. Close call. Saw many ducks and geese also. I got heavy searched at the Baudette border. Sucked. Overall it was a good trip. Listen to a lot of good music. Mainly KiD CuDi and Ratatat. I took a photo at this one spot that I have been wanting to take for years, but have never stopped to get it done. It was a pretty lax drive so I opted to take it this time around. See it below or on my Flickr. I've been working since 9AM here in Carlyle. It's a super nice office! So fancy! I got my own office and well have been getting paid to take photos and design things in Photoshop all day. Pretty awesome! If only I could skate a private skatepark on my lunch break, haha. Meh, I'll settle for a club sandwich and soup from the Skyline across the highway like I did today. Which were both amazing I might add. 'Till next time....

On The Road..... (not) Again.

Tomorrow morning I hit the open road. I'm off to Carlyle, SK. I'm going to be doing some filming/photography and editing of both for my brother's boss's oil drilling business. This is going to kinda be like a holiday for me, but one where I make money. :) Getting out of Fort Frances will be nice. I haven't been west of Brandon before, so it will be something to see. I got almost all my stuff packed ready to go... skateboard included. I have plenty new fresh music to sample, it should be a good trip. As good as a 9-10 hour solo drive can get. Wish me well. Later. Photos and maybe even video to come soon. Stay tuned.
