iWatch our identificaion with civil liberties evaporate

so you can't safely engage with your neighbors for fear of swine flu [mmm factory farm food!]- well it's a good thing you only half hearted those relationships, because now they can all be suspects in your paranoid game of 'stare out the window'. this LAPD PSA looks like a sci-fi spoof on vapid reactionary consumer culture, but instead is actually catering to that demographic- they live among us. be aware everyone..

350.org global climate consciousness action day

yep that's today. get your papier mache dragons, drums, fire batons & throat singers. october 24th is your day to make a public spectacle. Richmond doesn't look very well organized or represented so far in the matter but fear not: you are the one who makes the difference after all, right?

get out there & save that planet whose gravity has been attracting you all of this time. show it some love.

skated new mini bowl with bubba martin tonight

geez loweez- this little bowl is so much fun. it has me feeling like a wheezing overweight dizzy & wobbly kid again. my now good friend adrian took me for the first time last saturday. having only taken a handful of rides, i was able to hold in the reigns & avoided slamming. to celebrate on sunday i went out and skated my little quarterpipe in chimborazo park- which i recommend despite the tininess- it's got a nice surface on it now. so now top that off tonight with a 10:30pm session back at the mini bowl with bubba & johhny from colonial heights. i feel like the aforementioned wheezing & dizzy king of the world now. i cannot beleive how many of my old friends still ride and still rip at that! [a couple old photos included of me back when i rode well- from bill pickett's collection]. good to meet the new local skate denizens too- and- really nice bowl, guys.
