Street Dreams

Tanya and I joined the Director Chris Zam and his family and friends to the nationwide premier of Street Dreams Friday night. I even had the opportunity to quietly fan out on Ed Templeton who came out to see the film.
The Film is totally entertaining and if you have any love for skateboarding, you should go see it.

The Master of Disaster

If memory serves me well (I sure fucking hope so), then today is Duane Peters' birthday. If I'm wrong, fuck it. I don't need any of the 3 people that read this thing to tell me otherwise. A couple of years ago, The U.S. Bombs played a show on Duane's birthday out and Fullerton and it was great. I don't think there is show tonight. Duane rules and I wish him a happy birthday and many more.
Do yourself a favor and see this movie. It's one of the best for sure.

Day in, day out

I once heard my friend say, "Nothing says unemployment like a well updated blog." Like Homer Simpson, I found it funny because it was true. I suppose the contrary can be said as well. My blog has been neglected, because thankfully I am no longer unemployed. I now work for the best company on the plant. At least that's what the first sentence says in the employee handbook. I appreciate that sort of outlook. Anyway, I'm back to the day in, day out routine. A great author David Foster Wallace once had the opportunity to give a commencement speech and my recent employment got me thinking about his speech. It is well worth your time to read it.

Fully Hurtin' Loop

I dragged my buddy Todd out on a bike ride over the weekend. We went out and did the Fullerton Loop. Pretty dope. I can't believe I have lived here for so long and I have never done it before. Anyway, about 10 minutes into the ride, go figure Todd got a flat. He needs to install one of these on all of his bikes.

Today marks the 8th anniversary of the Rome SDS. Six years ago I had the pleasure of interning there. Seriously some of the best times ever! Rome is truly an awesome company and run right. I wish them many more years of prosperity.

Spring Fling 2009

On May 1st, the 19th annual Spring Fling went down. I didn't come in first and I didn't coming in last. Good times for sure. Plus my Dad turned 74! Old men are funny as hell. Here is the obligatory Father and his three sons photo. I apologize for already removing my golf shoes prior to the picture being taken and the fact that we did not use the phallic driver pose.
