hello darkness, my old friend. i've come to talk with you again.

Darkness, Darkness, be my pillow, Take my head and let me sleep

In the coolness of your shadow, In the silence of your deep

Darkness, darkness, hide my yearning, For the things I cannot see

Keep my mind from constant turning, To the things I cannot be

Darkness, darkness, be my blanket, cover me with the endless night

Take away the pain of knowing, fill the emptiness with light

Emptiness with light now

Darkness, darkness, long and lonesome, Is the day that brings me here

I have felt the edge of sadness, I have known the depths of fear

Darkness, darkness, be my blanket, Cover me with the endless night

Take away this pain of knowing, Fill this emptiness with light now

Emptiness with light now

Darkness, darkness, be my blanket, cover me with the endless night

Take away this pain of knowing, fill this emptiness with light now

Oh with light now.

Darkness, Darkness, be my pillow, Take my head and let me sleep

In the coolness of your shadow, In the silence of your deep

In the silence of your deep

In the - oh oh yeah

In the summer baby

come on come on come on baby...

33rd anniversary

yesterday, the 17th day of december, marked my parents' 33rd anniversary. happy anniversary you two! glad you met, otherwise i'd have been just some spot on a towel somewhere in an ancient landfill!

SKATE BLOG! NO DOG POST!

a full metro, and this drunkard decided to be sneaky and take over a full bench. dallas found it funny. as did the rest of us.

still there. when he woke up, falling off the bench, and trying to whip his weiner out, he looks over at the guy next to me who had some luggage and asked, "going somewhere?".

dominik feebles. i just shoot pics these days and try to skate. no filming.

dallas back railin' that hog. the goods.

sushi. in the bathroom.

dog blog n' turkey times

this dog is insane and sleeps all day. sometimes she must be dreaming of sucking milk from her mama's teets, and just slurps around.

thanksgiving was held at dallas and maria's place. good times, great food.

our buddy, jedidiah, and his lady friend just got in from greece, where they stayed for a couple weeks. they saved up for many months working in seattle to jam around euroland for a few months. now they got a place here for three months and should be awesome.

the turkeys and our starter dish

thanksgiving chicken stuffed with giblets n such

chef dalibon and the tattoo from my wall

cancer

fool me once, shame on you.

my dermatologist told me back in october that i had symptoms of pre-cancer on my face and nose. awesome news, as i was also recently deported from europe at the time.

i did what she suggested and covered my face in the sun, used this potent cream daily, and tried to avoid that pesky old sun as much as possible. tough, as my job entails filming when the light is nice. i.e. mid day.

anyway, enough about me, let's talk about you.

i wanted to warm you about what recent findings have been brought to my attention:

RECEIPTS GIVE YOU CANCER!!!

... and what doesn't these days, right?

well apparently, a chemical used in the paper/ink mixture has been known to be harmful since the dinosaur era (not really, but can you imagine a tyrannesaurus rex getting a receipt?) has recently been found to be cancer-causing and also should not be handled if pregnant or elderly.

long story short... fool me twice, shame on me.

so long, receipts! you were pests anyway!

wedding pic

a congrats goes out to my good buddy and ex-roomie louie barletta and his lovely bride, and also ex-roommate, christie, on getting hitched recently in guam!

wedding on a horse track during a race seems pretty epic.

halloween kicks ass

this was a couple days before halloween, but we'll get there soon enough.

this guy's been popping into my life lately, he lays around on the ground, twisting his record player's lever and plays some cool old music.

madars was feeling boardslides on friday.

kicked a few on a little 5 stair kinker, hopped on this one, and then...
