so i've been informed that i am missed here and i need to get back on it. While i was gone i really listened and heard music so here's one of the albums i fell in love with: Jay Z = The Blueprint 3

When i first heard the new Jay Z song i was completely blown away. Jay Z droppin knowledge on what real rap is. I think people have been listening to lame shit for so long they forgot what it was. i hadn't been so excited for an album to come out is i don't even know how long. Then I got the Blueprint 3 and i came to the conclusion that it was weak. Not whack whack but compared to other Jay Z albums and what i was expecting it completely let own. Hanging out with beyonce got him soft.

Then i listened to it about a million times over the past two weeks and i have to say that it is amazing. He gives classes on doing right, giving praise, not being whack, loving the past, living the future and being grateful for every minute. It sounds corny but this stuff really spoke to me and i feel like i got it. I can't believe i ever doubted.

The House Wins!!!!!

I got back just in time to see the Yankees win yesterday. had a great time up north. million stories and hopefully i'll get some of them up on here for you guys to read.

Until then GOGO13 has come out with a new shirt design. i think it's pretty sick. click on the link to pick one up for yourself

Pictures from another game. My grandpa took time from eating a hot dog filled with mustard, drinkin beers and de-shelling peanuts to take a picture with me.






I'll be out of town for the week so this may not be updated

Series

The mountains were grand. it is so great to get out of town and hang out in nature and all that one with the earth stuff. the drive through the valley to get there was hot as balls. i got punch face from the windburns at nite. i found a scorpion in my room. Kids complained that the hikes we went on were too long.


Diet is off. I can't be a true baseball fan if i can't eat and drink at the games. i've been spending my days surfing and then baseballing my face off this week. AKA: I'm in love. Below is a picture of A-Rod with a message for all my Angel Fan Friends and the Yankee Haters.

K. Carpenter

this weekend i'm off to a human relations camp but my friend Erwin and I plan on treating is as a fat camp. I've gotta get thin for my halloween costume. So we're going to wear those plasic suits under our clothes while hiking, eat diet pills and drink muscle milk. I plan on coming back svelt as can be. wish us luck .

Everyone gets a little down and out sometimes

...or is this narcissistic?

i'm a most horrid untrustworthy and overall dreadful human being. i've never been patient. i don't really take direction. i am incapable of dealing with the world without the use of Ritalin. i hate talking on the phone so i never return phone calls. i despise the wishy washy. I'm not always in a good mood and i don't like pretending that i am. i am not punctual. Places with loads of people make me incredibly uncomfortable so i rarely go out. I'm far too judgemental; especially for one with so many pitfalls. i don't work well with people who take this all so seriously. i say things too quickly and it is always too brash. i am only smart enough to know that i'm not all that smart. i am a human being. A shitty little human with flaws that i don't want to cover up or ignore or disregard.



I agree with this completely and feel like this often

craft

went to sacred craft this weekend with Dano Surfboards and got to talk with some really great people. Mostly friends that i see all the time or don't get to see often enough. i also met some great people including mike black and lance carson. busy busy busy

.....

to all the fine people in life that reassure you that even when it seems as though nothing is going your way and you can't find the road they'll be there.

I saw mason jennings a couple weeks ago at fingerprints (a tiny record store) with my sister. he played a full set and i got his album. I'd have to say that it was the perfect time for me to receive this and his music and lyrics have been screaming for me to listen to them. below is a video that isn't from the show but i thought fitting.

Not alright

I'm off to yet another funeral. I feel as though i'm going to more of these than i should be. this is my third one in less than two months i think. shit that's depressing. this one i feel will be a little less so.
i've been pretending that it's alright for far too long. i feel completely lost. i'm dealing with too many things and it's all falling apart. at least i have surfing and friends. i need surfing and friends. maybe more than ever. thanks for sticking around.

You.

So it goes. i don't say yes to things nearly enough and i don't put myself out there enough. i lag on calling people or hanging out or all of it. i forget that we all go the way of the Buffalo and need to act accordingly. i want to be around people living and discussing this mess that is life. i don't want business. i'd prefer friendships. i want whatever you want to bring to the table and i'll give whatever i can.


Here's to you Daniel Bearer. may you remind me to say yes a little more and grab a bit more fun out of life.
