Had a very busy few weeks since we spoke last, my parents came and went, I moved into a new place, I shaved my head, I put my car up for sale, I drank some coffees and I passed some time. But what happens next?
I believe it's time for a quote from the amazing Mitch Hedberg: "I got a belt on, that's holding up my pants. And my belt has belt loops thats holding up my belt...I don't know what's really happenin' down there. WHO IS THE REAL HERO?"
This is what me and my moms and pops look like when we're really happy...
Dorks!
I've been skateboarding lots lately, me and some guys from work went to this skatepark out in Templeton on Sunday. Two car loads of us rolled up and had an awesome day. Some sick tricks went down, along with some sick slams! A good slam reminds you you're alive though...so it's all good...
Yes, the rumours are true. My parents have arrived in New Zealand, and are pretty much over the jetlag.
It's damn good to see them, and to my surprise they haven't even aged that much! Feels like only the other week we were sitting at our local pub back home and having Chilli Con Carne baked potatoes.
Leaving on a road trip of the south island on Friday. Just me, my mum, my dad, and a 1994 Honda. Let the good times roll...
This guy came into the shop today with a snowboard that he'd attached skateboard trucks and wheels to. I asked him how it was, he said: "smooth man". Fair enough.
I did think about asking him if he knew what a skateboard (or even a longboard) was, but in the end I left him to it. Each to their own.
So I'm thinking about hitting the slopes on a surf board this snow season, anyone keen?
