SPOTTINGS

My dad sent me these videos filmed via motion-sensor from the fences of our farm(s) and before they even played I recognized our land and trees and grass.





I love deer and venison and look back fondly on avoiding the hunting part. Sort of wish I had that choice right now. Im always wishing for a wolf-ish pet to follow me around. They have a stoic way of being which I could use as some protection. The lure of the coyote call haunted me long ago as I laid in bed at Grandma Jackie's farm. Simultaneous to the howling was mooing from the herd and a hissing wild cat fight beneath my window sometimes. No peace in the real world can compare to all those comforting natural reactions. Its primal out here now, in a different way than I remember. Still looking for a lullaby.

And this next photo reminds me of my birthday, celebrated this

WEEKS/WEAKS

From boating to flying and crying and whining and dining. Northome, MN to Bemidji, to Minneapolis, to Phoenix, to Los Angeles, to San Diego, to San Marcos, to Carlsbad, to San Diego, to Hollywood, Los Angeles, CA. Held together by hours of contact with the lovely and wonderful ladies and families closest to me. Sarah and a Blister in the sun and my favorite Maddie Mug.

LALALA

IM MOVING TO LA WITH THE SKATE WITCHES.
2 WEEKS.

PHASES

New moons are the new full moons. After a 12 hour work day, tonight my car got broken in to. Now I sit at home and watch a University of Minnesota building burn. The faint smell of burning rubber and the people fighting above me will certainly soothe me to sleep.

junk rafts.

they have worn out their welcome
in my hipster mind.

Still, I enjoy this photography of people who think they are harder than the rest of us.

A Declaration for Real Time

Junk


Recently was told that I need to "update my blogs or delete them, they are boring."
This is me trying to connect with people on a different social level, or not at all.
A real time ultimatum.

Thrasher Skateboard Magazine

This doesn't look fun. Except when she busts her tail off.

This video is crazy. A lovely intro by a total douche and some actual babes. Looks no better than a satire from adult swim network. (not without some laaaame ad, too)



Bustin boobs and corpses and boards and bowls and thats all the thanks women's skateboarding gets...You won't find a better online video of women's pool skating in the last 2 years. For reals, go to the All Girl Skate Jam (pretty cute design) and always remember that "girls rock"!?
