We Own The Sky

M83 - So I bought this album digital shades vol. 1 like three days ago and I cannot stop listening to it, they sound super familiar...only to stumble across this song, "we own the sky," off there new album Saturday = youth. You might have herd this song from the Travis Rice film That's It, That's All. Great band, great movie...

In other news, The Roz™ is down for the count, not feeling good. So with amazing music on loop I'm taking care of my buddy and watching seasons 2 and 3 of the office. Also you know chicken Phoa is on the menu to get her back on her feet with all the fresh vegetables and herbs. For me, lately I'm a fan of Gentleman's Jack, just picked up a half gallon for a bargin buy.

You Look Crate

So after waking up and having a fabulous morning I thought it be about time to get ready for the day; after rummaging and going through every item in my closet I realized I hate everything, every item, article of clothing I would burn. I have no attachment to and really don't care for anything. This isn't anything new, it was sparked with feelings of irritation after watching double decade that I also realized that I haven't got anything new for the season, which if you knew me, you would know that since I was old enough to snowboard I always seemed to get something for the season to be stoked on until the snow came. Be it mowing lawns, selling lemonade on the street whatever the case I made it happen. Now with money in the bank I want to drop some lettuce on some goods for the season...To my demise there is nothing that I would be stoked on wearing this season. After being shockingly disappointed at looking at Holden website everything else just seemed to follow, so bland and boring almost like goodwill leftovers. Now I know this is pretty negative and extreme, I prefer passionate and truthful.

After calming my self I searched the Internet with eagerness and purpose, only to come across something out of my reach. The Secret Service. They don't even have a real website just a web page with there business card. The owner/founder of crate denim has a little men's boutique loft. With brands such as Nice Collective, Obedient Sons, Surface to Air, B Son, The Cast, and Esquivel Shoes. Its great shopping by appointment only. So the next time I'm down in LA, Ca I will need to make an appointment for some cocktails and shopping.

Bought a CD today at the Avalon, M83-digital shades vol. 1 very very good. I've been into really ambient chill music almost something you can ignore but non the less puts you in euphoric mood.

Life Aquatic

I love this movie. I worked a half day today and felt like watching a good old Wes Anderson Movie, looked through the collection and pulled Life Aquatic out. Everything about this movie is just top notch.

Things that make this movie so great:
1. Soundtrack
2. Bill Murray
3. Lighting
4. Amazing ship-which makes me want to live on a ship like that. I'd keep it at the harbor most of the time but then on long weekends and trips just head out and you would have everything you need; it's all about the levels.
5. Random shots that you ask your self why, what, but then later they make a full circil & add to the overall movie quality.

Gonna be a good weekend, I got a gut feeling...

Still Waiting

Working, Buying things online that I probably shouldn't and counting the days to go ride

Mt Baker- Projecting a opening day next weekend, in my opinion I think there lying but im going along with it because I want to believe it.

Double Decade

So I know this movie isn't new but this is the first time I had a chance to watch Double Decade. No matter what, no matter how far snowboarding progresses I still think Devun Walsh makes a slow floating 360 or backside 180 look better than any new kid off the block huck a 900 or even some new corked front misty 7 err some ish. He paved the way for some smooth steeze and after that it all followed. Now you can argue that there were many other great riders before him which there were but in my opinion and after watching Devun, it inspired me to rush hard, go bigger and float on snow. If I truly ride like that I really couldn't tell you, not much into filming, more into being in the moment and with the people that make me have fun snowboarding. Heikki Sorsa & Eero Ettala also had amazing parts in this film.

Anyways really bummin on the weather, we need snow, and I need to ride, express, vent, slay some powder and just be "one with nature." I know its corny but I think I can speak for all people growing up snowboarding and making it a big part of you life that if your not riding after awhile something is missing in your life, you become bitchy, at edge and you cant really explain it but say I need to go snowboarding...

I need to go snowboarding
