im broke... so thats where you will find me!

yup... hella broke! ive been on a diet of water and saltine crackers for the past two days, im not worried though i have a pretty happy life here in broke land. First off i have RAD friends who have RAD parties at their house where some RAD DJ's spin some RAD music and not so rad hipsters dance so i feel pretty comfortable to dance as well.. cuz as you know.. hipsters cant dance, this is a true fact... anyway... i took some RAD photos and someone made a RAD lil video of the party... so heres the video.. and a link to the photos for you to enjoy:

photos here:

Anyway i hope to have a job by the end of the week.... wish me luck!

*this blog post was brought to you by the word RAD! (just letting you know)

wtf? watch your wiener!

click the quote for the link to the article:
"In Illinois last week, Linda Floyd had to have her dachshund, called Roscoe, put down after the dog gnawed off her big toe while she slept. Mrs Floyd, 56, woke up too late because nerve damage from diabetes had left her with no feeling in her toes"

end of story...... fucking crabgrass piece of shit fucking asselectric lawnmower with a weak battery fuck this...

five 5's

heres a list of five things i feel about five things.....

5 people who i would bend over backwards for:
1. Lindsay Buzzo, i never have a bad time when im causing trouble with lindsay
2. Jesse Nelson, he may be the worst at directions and act like a pissed off mom after a couple days on a road trip but if he called me right now id help him out no matter what.
3. brian easter (peanut), been friends since i can remember... dont see him to much but ive had to many good times to remember
4. mom, more support then i could ever ask for
5. dad, same as mom... maybe even more thanks for payin for school!

5 people/happenings that have changed my life:
1. Janell cook, craziest 3 years of my life, almost got married, almost lost friends, but i got my GED and enrolled in SCCC because of her and now i have a college degree... so i cant thank her enough.. wierd that what seemed like the worst break up ever turned into one of the greatest thigns that ever happened to me!
2. Highschool, i didnt like math... and i liked hanging out with my friends.. i didnt do that many if any drugs but i probably should have seeing how i dropped out because all my druggie friends held me back.. i wish i could have done that better but i probably wouldnt be here right now if i had.
3. SCCC photo program, what can i say... the best 25 friends anyone could ask for and the best two years of my life... wouldnt change it for the world
4. Snowboarding, met so many good people on the hill or because of the hill it makes me smile thinking about it...
5. Skateboarding, meeting new people every trip i go on.. and realizing that its alot less stressfull then snowboarding...

5 places i want to see before i die:
1. New Zealand
2. Austrailia
3. Patagonia
4. tokyo
5. yet to be determined

5 Goals
1. a photo ive taken on the cover of a magazine
2. to be able to repay and show respect to all those who have helped me or will help me in the future
3. to live a life where i wake up everyday and smile about what i do with my life (its going well so far)
4. stand on the top of mt ranier
5. sit on a beach with no care in the world

5 things i hate:
1. big spiders
2. people who lead you on
3. waking up early
4. waking up late
5. liars and two faced fake friends

Starting a new...... story

I really need to keep up on this whole "blogging" thing... i have rants/raves/thoughts/complaints most are really funny some are just plain stupid but who cares thats what this thing is for right? anyway here we go.... hold on with your life!

Ok, tomorrow or should i say "in three hours" im gonna leave on yet another adventure in skateboarding. Now i "should" be packing and getting all my camera shit squared away. BUT, nope, im sitting here in front of my computer watching CSI mami (worst show ever btw) wishing my cold would suddenly go away, but thats not gonna happen anytime soon. It should be a pretty interesting trip, start in issaquah drive to tacoma and pick up a new car, then drive to portland and pick up steven reeves, then drive to bacon HQ and pick up some boards and swag, then head to medford and hopefully get there before 5 so we can hold the "krux kick flip challenge". I guess we will be going from Medford then to Eugene, Portland, and then Windells up at mt hood which im really looking forward to as their park looks fucking sick. Either way this trip is looking towards being a fun one so ill be back with updates whenever i have the opportunity.

In the mean time check out this guys lil blog called "you will soon" full of lots of good reading and a hilarious review of the entire second season of "the life of ryan" who in case you all are wondering... is a fag! that should tie you over untill i get back so untill then.

i found this today....

as posted in someone's bulletin on myspace...
"Blue Eyes
People with blue eyes last the longest in relationships. They are kind, pretty or handsome,very good kissers and are really hot. They always fall in love with their closest friends and never understand why. They are very funny, outgoing and don't care what people think or say. They are very satisfying and love to please. Are straight up WARRIORS when necessary."

i have blue eyes and i think ive come to understand this is pretty true to me... i think it sucks.... cuz it should say at the end... "they always end up with crushed ideas of where things are going" or some shit like that...

anyway i had a fun weekend.... i took this photo at a party... i like it... you probably dont but i do...
untill next time.....

weds=FUCK!

oh nothing like being dead broke... i actually think my account is in the neg right now... which is AWESOME if your a bank... not awesome if your me though... this sucks.. plus its raining... so thats always a plus i guess? either way im stuck in northbend.. broke.. and i cant really get anything done.. so ill just skate i guess... OH yeah... i did get a new pair of shoes.. some free nike 6.0 shoes for working on park crew... hella scene yo!

i get paid tomorrow... that should at least bring up my sprits a lil bit! hahah

tuesday=confussing

so... i need to figure something out with my life! this thought has crossed my mind many times recently... mostly because while walking to the store to get some food i noticed i could have made more this winter working at tacotime... what the fuck is up with that? its almost like i wasted a whole winter making nothing out of myself and just working my ass off and getting lil or no respect... granted i had alot of fun doing alot of fun things... but what do i have no from it? memories at most... and although memories are great... im really lacking substance lately... hopefully ill figure this out....

i also wonder if the neighbors are offended by the pumpkin head on our cross? not that i care.... fuck em!

sunday=GNAR!

so today was the thrasher skaterock tour at marginal way.... aka... show up drink a bunch of beer... listen to really loud music an watch your friends destory the place... it was sick... i didnt take very many photos... it was hectic! thats my excuse... i did though get asked to take a photo of jake phelps and mark hubbard and if you dont know who they are you should look them up cuz im to tired to explain it... all i know is im stoked... it was a rad weekend! i wonder what this week is gonna be like?

friday= waste of time!

so i finally got out of northbend for a day... i had a blast... only to find out it was a waste of time.... better luck next time i guess?

marginal way bash tomorrow! gonna be fucking sick!!!!

IM TIRED!

im sick of snow... when is it gonna be warm/sunny/dry so i can spend days swimming/skating/hanging out with friends who dont say one thing do another....

on a brighter note: i finally finished raelynds senior photos... and i went out and had some fun shooting photos with friends just having fun and stuff...
photos:
baker snowboarding

and one of my favs from raelynd

three things...

first... ive been drinking to much beer lately... i need to change it up.

second... ive been buying to many socks... either i need to find a closer place to do my laundry or i need a better job!

third... why does shooting senior portraits bring more stress then shooting people with guns pointed at your face

now here are some photos...


well maybe four?

tahoe 08'

well.... found my way back to tahoe again... northstar sure hasnt changed one bit thats for sure... still the same old fashion show going on and steezfest on the hill. At least i always seem to head down there with about 19 of my homies though so its always a good time... this time the occasion was for the red bull snow warz... basicly a college bro contest with teams from about 60 different colleges mostly from cali and the west coast but there were some from the east side of things too... so it was definatly a good time for a party... one thing is for sure about tahoe... is always SUNNY... and about 60 degrees... which is RAD concidering its been nothing but snow and more snow and a lil rain up here for the whole season... so its nice to be able to chill out and not be wet and cold after riding.... ok ok ill get to the real point... the parties!... well... when you got 10 friends in 15 passenger van eating some really good cookies things get started right off the get go i suppose... between crazy stories... crazy driving (including some crazy driving by yours truely) you could say it was a pretty decent 14hr road trip... the afterparties were pretty crazy... thank god they wernt in our condo as there were probably 100+ people in a three story condo breaking bottles and jumping off balconies and causing havoc in general... so i guess to wrap this up... we had a lil bit of everything on this trip... shit got lost... shit got stolen... better friends were made... and some friends got a lil sketchier... so to close it heres a photo of sam hall BOOSTING on the hip in the big park at northstar... and a link to photos from the trip..

Sam Hall boosting

my anti mcdonalds stance isnt holding up too well.... im not a true failure though, as i dont eat as much as i was... hopefully this buy one get one free big mac deal ends soon!... we can only hope for the best...


on a second note: had a sick powder day today... maybe the last one ill get this season? and i watched "into the wild" now i want to go get lost... ill keep you informed.............

WOW!..... finally an update!

so yeah... its been a while... ive been busy either working.. sleeping... drunk.. or eating mcdonalds..

first off im gonna say NO MORE MCDONALDS... fuck that place i hate you and your buy one get one free big mac deal.. my stomach cant handle it anymore... our relationship is OVER!

SECOND... pretty stoked on this photo of jesse... mostly because its two of my friends.. it was a good session and it was basically in my room.. what could be better? i have no clue?

so theres my update... now i need to find a job for the summer... any ideas?

blah

this sucks...... i feel like quitting it seems like no matter what i do it just never matters... and i no matter how much i give them... i get NOTHING in return.. i dont get it?

*my lil bit of emo of the day

busy... busy... busy

been HELLA busy lately.. mostly riding and working (aka shoveling snow) but for some reason someone decided to dump 5+ feet of snow on the hill therefore making it IMPOSSIBLE to drive up there... so ive had nothing better to do then sit here and drink PBR... so in order to make that a much more pleasureable experience i took the liberty to make a bar... here it is..
