Let's see, money is stupid.  I'm trying to quit smoking not only because I can't afford it, but because I have to quit smoking to sell my eggs for the pretty price of $5,000.  Yes, I'll take that.  Also got the address of a blood bank around town that'll pay me for my plasma.  Start that Thursday if all goes as planned.  

I miss the burly ass midwest skate spots, surprisingly.  I miss the downtown shitty ass ledge (behind the pavilion), I miss knowing where every spot was at, I miss that piece of shit skatelite park.  That miniramp!  I miss Lansing park's wall, and their eggbowl...and East Lansing's weird brick bank ledge things , Masons bowl, Detroits......fucking entire city.  I'm having such a hard time letting go of all the spots I knew so well, and the crew I always skated with...it's hard to really go skate lately.  I hit a park maybe once a week and have to think about what I'm doing, not just do.  I'm way too unmotivated to go find street spots, which is sad.  Hopefully I'll get out of this soon.

In good news....I am looking at a second job at Zumiez, which...say what you want about the shop...it's still a skate shop and when I went in there and asked dude for a job I wound up hanging out with him and fucking around on a spare board laying around for about two hours.  He said he'd just have me grip and assemble boards, meaning I won't even have to deal with the normal bullshit that goes with working a retail job.  I'm fucking stoked.  Maybe I'll make some buds and they'll take me to some good spots and get me back on my game.  

I met some dudes about a month ago who seemed real legit.  Skated with 'em, they bought me some beers and invited me to their home...real good seeming dudes.  But after three weeks of phone tag..well, you know.  Fuck it.  I'm bummed on that because they were supposed to take me to some fucking pools.  What's the wild west REALLY got to offer?  Pools and ditches.  IF YOU CAN FIND THEM!

So I have to go to some manager meeting tomorrow at Deja Vu I guess?  I'm not exactly positive why I have to be there...that could either be a good thing or a bad thing.  Am I full blown blogging right now?  I think I am.  I must be lonely. 

oh yeah and for those of you who say they're going to visit AND ACTUALLY ARE GOING TO VISIT..........I live with some random ass kid named Aron (yes, A Ron) who really looks like his fucking name should be Kyle.  He's cool.  Funny how sometimes you just end up being kinda loopy for no real reason.  Anyways, yeah....what's up, cheap bills?  

fuck minimum wage.
