I caught myself eating a huge bowl of greens, with homemade (raw/vegan) green goddess dressing, sprinkled with seaweed flakes and hemp seeds! SRSLY, people!

I LIKE REVOLUTIONS! DO YOU?

America's next Baseball

As much as I love skateboarding, Chris Troy, kids, and analyzing people's handwriting, this cultural phenomena makes me sad. This past weekend while at Dew Tour in Boston, I sat cheering amongst adults who knew nothing about skateboarding aside from "Ryan Sheckler" and "P Rod". Their children rushing the edges of the stands as soon as a pro skater was in sight. Meanwhile I applauded Vanessa Torres, Amy Caron, Lacey Baker, Eli Reed, Bastian Salabanzo, Greg Lutzka, and Sierra Fellers and contemplated the future of skateboarding from within a giant basketball stadium. After the surprise appearances of Red Bull's Shawn White and Travis Pastrana (this guy doesnt even skateboard), who both recited "stoke" speeches, I became sentimental for the simplicity of skateboarding in a park with people. Started to resent being one of these anxious, non-skateboarding spectators. Conversely, perhaps I am glad to not be one of the skateboarders who is skating for someone/some sponsor!

I've realized how much power skateboarding has lately. It's cultural influence has reached the masses. You can find evidence of legitimate skateboarding culture in photography for Urban Outfitters catalogs, and purchase various "skateboards" at Target. There is even a "teen focused meat snack brand" involved in sponsoring these events along with various sugar-water companies. There's validity in supporting the skateboarding industry, and as a creative person I want to offer some responsibility in that. A more authentic progression of skateboarding is worth fighting for.

even the sadness feels better in portland

by ractalfece via youtube. My friend Rebecca mentioned that her brother had become somewhat internet famous. I think she's right. Especially since most of his videos are responses to some idiot vlogs which I highly recommend.

Temple Grandin

my parents are moving to our farm, finally. im not sure if my dad is so interested in raising cattle again, and now i completely understand. today i have been reading the essay Power Steer by Michael Pollan which is a journalistic commentary on the U.S. cattle industry, as he follows his steer, No. 534, to the slaughterhouse. my dad was remarkably compassionate for his head of cattle, and i closely followed. ive always wished for more. i think reading about temple grandin would be fascinating. i'm really proud that my uncle Skip, a farm veterinarian, has chosen to volunteer as a scientific advisor for American Humane.

WHY ISNT THERE A MASSIVE REVOLT AGAINST THE WAR?! WHAT IS WRONG WITH US?

these veterans are the only people worth listening to until then.
real people, folks. Iraq Veterans Against the War
I dont care that some vets had glamorized visions in their heads about heroism, masculinity, and domination by signing up. I dont even care if they signed up because they were weak enough to 'not see any other way to pay for college' and all the bullshit. Sometimes, like two of my best friends in high school, the service is their heritage. Probably never in history has there been such deception and mistreatment of people who have given up their lives for our political regime.
read this, and do something massive.

anti-RNC will win in '08.

no joke

SPEAK magazine speaks truth we all should admire
