that's awesome! I've never seen Dashboard (somehow...) but I hear he's good. Was there a lot of acoustic or did they throw in the whole band for most songs? I'd love to see a little acoustic show of his, but I guess he's a bit big for that now... oh well. I love Dallas, though.

Haha I know how that "transitionary period" feels... I think everyone does that.

I'm glad you liked the pic. It's Georgian Bay, and luckily the colours were already there for me god knows I can't photoshop or anything.

That's cool man,i'm a skateboarder and skateboarding totally affected all my life,how i see things,the friends i have even the work i do.
Unfortunately in Italy getting sponsored or even more paid for skateboarding it's very very hard but on the other hand it helped to keep it something just for me just for fun.
It's cool you are sponsored i imagine you are proud of it and you must be.
Keep it real man!

that's really awesome, congrats!!! I wish I could skate, but I lack balance. I've been thinking about giving longboarding a try, because it looks like a more fun way of transportation than the bus.

Thanks for the compliment on my septum! I'm so used to hearing people call it wierd or ugly... most of my friends don't get the whole body mod scene, and are constantly criticizing tattoos and piercings. Glad to hear otherwise!!

I like the pics in your skate folder, nice one. I suck at skating but i try.

It has to be done. I had that deck hanging from my wall for around two years like a peice of art. I only started skating this year around feb, i had a shitty board that i put some good wheels and bearing on until i got the hang of it. But after a few months and a serious case of razor tail, i thought the board mounded on my wall would look better under my feet. I complimented it with some indy trucks and now it's taken it's rightful place in the world. I'm sure i'll return it to the wall alonside my first deck - once it too is beaten up enough.

I'm currently trying to get some height in my ollies (i fear i might have taught myself some poor technic which is stopping me from getting any real height in them) and building up the desire to drop in on the half pipe after my first attempt got me doing a fine face planet. I have a lot of fun skating as it stands; taking my board most places but i think once i get the hang of both these aspects, i'll enjoy it tenfold.

Put some more pics up and i'll certainly return to more viewing.

yeah I took international studies & modern languages but transferred cause it sucked and they kept cancelling courses I wanted to take.

no, I'm from Burlington (near Toronto) but I have family in Ottawa so I lived with them while I was in school.

wow you just joined. Good beginning to your journal. And that is one frigging lovely tattoo. Very very very nice!

but wait, it says you have your nipples pierced and they don't show in the photo?
