Longboards

Longboarding was pretty much half my summer.
My first longboard was a Rayne Hellcat, randall 180s, with Zombie hawg wheels. To tell you the truth I didn't really like it at first because I wanted a board to cruise and carve with, and my board was made for hardcore downhill, but I LOVE IT now. It's still a pretty intimidating board and it probably won't get the ladies as effectively as Paul's dervish :P but it's fuckin addicting...

A couple weeks ago I got a new deck from Ray, made from I think 5 layers of Baltic Birch. It's a drop through deck with a super light concave. It's shorter than the hellcat so I could use it to get around campus, and the best part is it's completely blank! how is that the best part? Custom grip tape! I haven't gotten around to putting grip tape on yet, but my design will probably be clouds. (FLYING NIMBUS!!!!) oh yeah the second best part is that it was only $25. which was a pretty sick deal.

Loo

Sometimes it feels like this life is the dream and i'm going to wake up to something amazing...(no inception)

but yeah its weird,
ever get that feeling whenever there's a period in your life that's out of the ordinary.
Like coming back from a fun vacation or good times with friends like camping or just being in loo doing nothing but chilling...

It sucks because it feels like you're waking up from a good dream into regular boring life.
Thats what it feels like right now and truthfully I don't want to wake up although i know eventually i'll have to...

Classical Gas

Just got back into playing guitar... my brother bought new picks and a couple drumsticks yesterday, but it sucks that I only have one day to play some solid guitar. So far I learned the intro to Taylor- Jack Johnson (i stopped learning it after the intro because the intro is all I wanted to learn haha).
I also tried to relearn Classical Gas. I used to be able to play it decent. I relearned it, then checked youtube to see how it sounds compared to the real song and realized why I gave up guitar a while back hahaha. just kidding :)

So i just watched So You Think You Can Dance Canada last night...
one of the few times i've actually watched it and it was ok but one dance stood out.
It was a Jazz piece done by Hanni & Tara Jean and choreographed by Nico & Wynn.
Personally I don't know who in the world these canadians are but they are good and the preceeding songs is what they danced to.
And I must say it was pretty good, even though I don't know much about dance styles outside of the hip hop genre.

Anicca (Sanskrit anitya) "inconstancy" or "impermanence". This refers to the fact that all conditioned things (sankhara) are in a constant state of flux. In reality there is no thing that ultimately ceases to exist; only the appearance of a thing ceases as it changes from one form to another. Imagine a leaf that falls to the ground and decomposes. While the appearance and relative existence of the leaf ceases, the components that formed the leaf become particulate material that may go on to form new plants...

Slakah the Beatchild - Enjoy Ya Self


Slakah the Beatchild - Bboy Beef


So I've figured something out today. To be happy you can spend time with friends but you need to have some time for yourself. This includes doing something active and that makes you happy. For me this is Breakin'. I haven't done this for myself for a while maybe that's why I can't seem to think straight. All in all its good to spend time with friends as well as some time to do stuff for yourself, also you must be active to keep yourself healthy as well as study diligently as required.
As a good friend once told me as someone told him "You need to spend just as much time studying as you do dancing(or anything active)". I think what he meant by this is balance and it seems that this a rather difficult subject for me to grasp.

arite so i looked up some of that dream interpretation shit and this is what i got for the Monkey-beetle-snake dream

Monkey-(Lemur thingy)
To see a monkey in your dream, symbolizes deceit, insight and intuition. Those around you are working to advance their own interest. Alternatively, monkeys indicate an immature attitude, a playful nature and the mischievous side of your personality.

Beetle- (yellow beetle)
To see a beetle in your dream, indicates that some destructive influences may be at work in your waking life. You may also feel that your values and beliefs are being compromised.

Snake - (dark green two headed snake)
If you see a two-headed snake in your dream, then it refers to cooperation and teamwork in some relationship.

So im pretty sure this dream symbolized this past week where i was stressed to the extreme about a group project i had for school. At the end of it all it seems things worked out alright so i guess im good.

more dream shit can be found here

The Farm of Tomorrow

... I've been having some weird dreams lately I wonder what they mean.

Yesterday when taking a nap I had dreamt that a regular lemur morphed into a Yellow/orange beetle of some sort then into a dark green two headed snake... seriously? wtf?

Then just last night I dreamt that doomsday was coming soon and I imaged that the world was changing around me much like silent hill and all that freaky shit starts to happen and you know the world somehow becomes distorted. It was like that then I swear I was in a jeep trying to escape a horde of huge locusts that devoured the other passenger. Eventually I ended up on some sort of airship to escape the earth or something and it turns out that the place is more of a prison in the air rather than a sanctuary. I think it was also my goal to overthrow the head boss in this airship but I don't remember how that turned out.

So after the airship everyone seems to land back on the earth, only to find that it looks like everything is burnt to the ground. We are then chased by some rabid animals (can't recall what they were) then out of nowhere the "Avatar" ( the last air bender not Jake Sully ahhaa) came and killed or scared off the animals chasing us.

... I'm not sure wtf is going on with my head but this shit sounds like some crazy movie. Just thought i should share..

Writing without Walls

To speak would be to unfold a barrage of words that flow though my mind
The words so coarse when they graze an ear they bring pain and anguish
What is this why am I hear what is the meaning of all this
Dazed confused and abused where do I turn to
Can someone translate these words that carry so much pain behind every breathe
The mind thinks in riddles it’s hard to detect
Determine the meaning and symbols that connect
So deep and untouched the waters of the iceberg cold and frigid
Frozen below are the secrets the untold
One cannot begin to comprehend the fathoms of ones mind and yet they try,
to decipher another’s, to understand families friends, haters and lovers.
Unbeknownst to you are the depths of your own mind something you think you have figured out
It goes deeper into the abyss this place that was missed
Misplaced intentions and hollow laughter but replaced with tears
After all is done you tried desperately to gather your thoughts but in turn lose it all
Fighting for a fairytale that you know is not yours
Embrace your fate, your destiny the path you will take and stop lying to yourself
Stop crying, stop the blame and take responsibility of what you have done and what you will do
Stop trying to make things the way you know were not meant for you.
You speak of stability with words of confidence when you yourself know that this is not the path to take
Humble your words your attitude your mannerisms and see the world for what it is worth and
Make and effort to help not only yourself but those who will need you

- This is just something to help my creativity.
- It’s classified as free writing and the trick is to write what immediate comes to mind regardless of structure.
- I use to write like this a while back but have long forgotten how to write carefree.
- Now here it is again for all the world to see but I don’t care feel free to hate I’ll ignore you anyways
- BTW the end of each line is where my mind paused and therefore each line is a new thought


PS. I encourage anyone reading this to do the same and only look at what you've written after your done

Turn Your Lights Down Low

“ Loving you is like a song I replay
Every three minutes and thirty seconds of every day
And every chorus was written for us to recite
Every beautiful melody of devotion every night
This potion might, this ocean might carry me
In a wave of emotion to ask you to marry me
And every word, every second, and every third
Expresses the happiness more clearly than ever heard
And when I play ‘em, every chord is a poem
Telling the Lord how grateful I am because I know him
The harmonies possess a sensation similar to your caress
If you asking then I’m telling you it’s yes
Stand in love, take my hand and love Jah bless” -
Lauryn Hill
