Changes

So I haven't posted anything in my blog in a long time. I pretty much forgot I had it.
Anyway, I get a lot of stuff in the mail. Maybe because I have too much free time and spend too much of said free time on the internet, causing me to buy things. So I'm going to turn this blog into basically a mailbox report. We'll see how long I actually stick with it.

Good Mail day

Yesterday was a great mail day:

Kill Your idols shirt
Down to nothing Smorgasboard ripoff shirt
Mourningside a.d. - Confessions of Disbelief 7" on clear
Capital - Homefront TEST PRESS!!

I'm trying to collect every colorway of the DTN smorgasboard ripoff shirts, I have about 4 so far, theres a lot more than that. I also just won the sickest DTN shirt there is on ebay, but I'll wait to post that til it comes in the mail

OG-1

So, this rules.. This is the Emerica Marc Johnson, one of the best skateshoes ever made. I missed out on it when it originally was out, which was back near when I started skating 8 years ago. Well, Emerica just re-released it under a different name in a limited amount. This time, I'm not missing out on it. I already bought 2 pairs from Utility Board Supply and I'm hoping to find a pair at a skateshop so I can try them on and be 100% sure they fit, so I can order more and be set for life.

Mail Day 2/26/09

These are 3 different Indecision shirts i got in the mail today. I bought them from Collin K. from Georgia. Good dude, loves Indecision too. I actually only bought 2 of them, the grey and maroon ones. The blue one he threw in for free (he said to help ease the pain of not seeing the band in Chicago in May). Well I greatly appreciate it! The blue one is a medium, grey a large and maroon an XL. I gotta get that maroon one tailored to my size, it is way huger than the other XL shirt I have. This was a nice surprise to come home to in the mail today, since the academic advisors at my school forget to take their brains with them to work.

I'm listening to every AFI album in a row, hells yea.

Skate and Destroy

So, I think back in October, maybe even September I built a grind box with my dad. I skated it once and decided 14 inches was too high. We lowered it to a foot high and it was perfect. Then we tried to find a 7 ft long piece of angle iron, guess what, they only come in 6 Ft lengths. Luckily, my uncle works in a metal shop. We asked him to bend a piece of iron for me and he comes through, after a while. I finally got the angle iron about 2 weeks ago and today I came home early from school and my dad and I screwed it onto the box. And finally, it was finished.

I skated it today and I already re-learned crooked grinds!!! It needed some wax at first, but now its perfect. Many hours will possibly be spent neglecting friendships with this thing.

Mail Day 2/19.09

I won this earlier this week/last week on ebay. Its an XL Kill Your Idols European Tour shirt from 2000, the year i started skating! hah. Its a bit smelly, so its gotta get washed before I wear it. And the ink is cracked all over, but I don't care, its KYI!!

Syndicate

So, I just got a new job working for this promotional company called The Syndicate... They basically promote bands, comedians, tv shows, anything really. Basically, all I have to do is go to shows and pass out fliers and talk to people about what I'm promoting. I have to get pictures of me doing it to prove I did it. Also, there's one thing called a Day Of Promotion, where I go to a show before doors, put up posters, stay for the show, and then flier after it. But the best part is, im put on the guestlist with a +1. And I can pick and choose which things I promote. And this company works for Thursday, so JOE we might be able to see them for free! And any other band on the list. This job is going to rule so hard.
