The ultimate bike clip!!
No, I did not choose the title but I did embed it here on my lil blog so maybe, just maybe my cager audience who lives through my two and 4 heel moto and sk8 adventures might just start to see it. Maybe just one lil glimpse into the life.
This past year nearly to the day I recently dubbed year of the funeral. I haven't seen this many folks check out in 12 months since the great heroin bottom of 2001. That was one hell of a painful year. But I will say one thing, seeing folks die from so called "natural causes" seems a whole lot more senseless to me than anything you may witness here. I don't know who was first quoted as saying so but it was something about "I do not want to live my life only to arrive safely at death" Sadly I have seen a lot of that this year. One death was a fellow rider, friend and business man who went headlong into a guardrail rounding an outside curve that he apparently misjudged and needless to say front wheel and shoulder gravel was a deadly combo. But hey!!! You can die having pushed the edge a lil too far or you can go quiet and safe like somewhere in an Omaha nursing home.
God Bless my fallen family.

Betty???
I figured the picture said it all. I remember this ad in one of my very first Thrasher mags. I must of worn those copies thin. Cut up pics and all over my walls and notebooks pasted down with rows and rows of scotch brand tape. Girls that can skate are hot!! Even if they are ugly there hot, OK, maybe not as hot as a woman riding a motorcycle but prolly more hot than a woman shooting a gun. HMMMM A woman riding a motorcycle, strapped with a gun and an old school Santa Cruz skateboard strapped to a sissy bar. OOOOHHH.....That my devoted would be HOT!!

Shoe me
I miss skateboarding. I decided that today while watching a young man at the local skatepark. On a whim and a couple hours to kill I took my friends boy to the local park. While watching him learn some basic tricks and seeing some ego and humility float around the kidney bowl I couldnt help but grab my young friends board and do a lil carving around. Really no big deal until U factor in I had no shoes. My feet shod with only some dime store flip flops I took to a lil street course carving. It took not long to realize I was much better off sans flip flop and off they went into the grass. Young boys and girls not to mention parents on the bench took this with much amusement though most of many tried to hide there curiosity.
Hippie I was told, I was told this was way to hippie to be pulling off but pull off I did. What else can one do at a park next to the river but let a lil inner hippie out. and the decision made to head back to the old days and make sure the truck arsenal is now complete with shoes, socks and a skateboard.

Something to Say
A friend of mine recently told me she had never heard The Misfits. It left me in surprise and awe, here I thought this woman knew all about Glenn, Only and the rest of the rotation gang but no, she was only familiar with the logo.
This conversation came about as I had to quickly stop myself the other day. You see my devoted I cherish my low maintenance lifestyle which allows me to live in a private RV park, and in doing so as One might expect around me are some older folks and with them tend to be grandchildren from time to time. Well it is advisable to not be singing Last Caress with your neighbors in ear shot.
The Misfits helped me vent my teenage angst and these days still allow me to sing some of the most macabre lyrics I have likely ever heard penned. Latter Misfits incarnations seem to be losing the original shock value and 12 dollar skull patches being sold @ Hot Topic don't help either. Gone are the days of Magnolia Thunderpussy here are the days of Chinese made Vans and Mall Rats that have never moshed. Yes we have covered my judgemental bastardom, yes we have
And just so y'all know......Metallica can not and will not ever do justice to The Misfits. BAH!
