You got to Remember...

It's been 6 years, but I still remember exactly where I was when the 2 towers got hit.... I was sitting at work, when I got the call, and I closed up the shop to go home and absorb the day’s events...


I have my Brother Angelo and My boy Rich representing Canada, and doing what they do out in Afghanistan! Myself, Angelo, rich and Tommy, we all joined the military together and served under The Black Watch Highland Regiment of Canada. We trained so hard, you would never believe the extent that the military put us thru...









My brother Angelo is running shit out there, letting people know how things are done...






It shocking on how much 9/11 has changed us...



On a side note, I'd like to thank God for Saving My brother Edgar... Last Saturday he got in a pretty bad car accident, where someone cut him off and he had our Durango flip... I’m just thankful that Edgar and Chloe are ok without any major injuries... As for El Durango, it's a write off, but we thank El Durango for the good times...

And as a ritual... as you've notices in previous post, I've been dropping a music video symbolizing my mood at that specific time... And at this time, with all the blessings that God has given us... I want to thank him for the GOODLIFE I have been blessed with...

A little Late, but for a dude that Used to Ride a Billy Ruff G&S, This isn't a CRIME...

I used to Skate down my street, no worries, Ollie here, KickFlip there, grind the curb.... you know, everyday business for me as a Kid... I had 2 other dudes i used to skate with all the time, and at times our skate crew would be about 14-16 deep.



Our daily mission was either building ramps, or going off ramps. My buddy Chris had his dad build a half pipe in his backyard which constituted for quite a few bumps and bruises till my Momz made me wear rectors. Skating was IT. It was fun, it was life, it was a piece of wood, with 4 wheels that we tried to master every trick on. So please explain to me why in the world this is still happening??? Please Read, And Hopefully It will open your eyes and send out your disgust to the proper contacts on the bottom of this page...

Hot Springs, Arkansas: Police Brutality on Go Skateboarding

A police officer in Hot Springs, Arkansas, was photographed actually choking a thirteen-year old boy before arresting him, and several others (which was captured on video), seemingly for... skateboarding.

A video is circulating the likes of MySpace and YouTube wherein several young boys- and one girl- in Hot Springs, Arkansas, decided to celebrate Go Skateboarding Day. While skateboarding downtown, one was arrested- and it appears to be because he was skateboarding.

One youth took a picture of the Officer Joey Williams on top of thirteen year old Jarad Graham, who was facing up, and Williams has his hand around the boy's throat. After handcuffing the child, he chased the person who took the photograph, leaving the child in handcuffs. Williams later comes back, takes the child to speak with him away from his friends, and tells the boy he was in violation of city ordinance and resisting arrest... resisting arrest for what? WHY was he arrested in the first place?

When his friends come to listen, Officer Williams tells them all to go away, and that they're all in violation of city ordinance as well. He then proceeds to arrest several more people, taking the video camera and setting it on the sidewalk.

The video can be viewed and dowloaded here:

I was able to reach the mayor, Mr. Mike Bush, for comment just moments ago, and was told that directly after the incident, the officer in the video was placed on administrative leave (with full pay). They are currently in the process of investigating the incident, speaking with more than 40 witnesses including bystanders and downtown merchants in the area.

"Until the investigation is complete," he told me, "we're unable to make any conclusions about what happened." When I asked him about the video, he told me he had seen it. "It's awful," Bush said. "It looks just terrible."

Remember, folks. SKATEBOARDING IS NOT A CRIME.

ARRESTED: Jarad Graham, Drew Irwin, Matt McCormack, Skylar Nalls, Robbie Brindley, and Casey Canturbury.

It's been a busy holiday season. From Kingston, to Montréal, back to Toronto, back to Montréal, back to Toronto, and now I leave for Montréal again this Saturday for New Years. During these past couple of days, I’ve been sorting out a few of the pictures, and will release them in instalments. First up: Kingston trip with the old school crew. Wifee's work Christmas Party.

We've been buying bottles in the clubs since the early '90s, but never did we get our own pourer. She stayed and poured our drinks the whole night, so what do we do? We get her hammered.

Christmas Eve...

What up y'all... since school is over, I’ve been back to work and working more shifts then I normally am accustomed too.

I am officially in Montreal for the Christmas holidays, back to Toronto on December 27th, and then back to Montreal for New Years.

I had all the pics from Kingston and my birthday all ready, but forgot my memory stick at home, so you'll all have to wait.

But for now, a little Christmas gift from me to you... I’ll see you tomorrow. Merry Christmas / Kwanza / Hanukah / GetPaidTimeAndAHalfDay ...... Peace!

Thirty's the new Twenty, Im so hot still....

I know, it's been a bit, about a week to be truthful. Exam time was an ass kicker, I'm just glad it's over so that we can get down to the real Meat of what December has to offer. No, I'm not talking about the day our Lord was born, nor am I talking about the 26Th where half you fiends will line up in front of GoodFoot to cop what’s on the Sales racks.




I'm talking, and especially this year in fact, about the official Thirty is the new Twenty jam. Ya you heard it right. Birthday jam. You know how we do, although, I am getting older so to the extent of how far we can do it depends on my brittle old bones... P.S. (and this goes out specifically to SKAM) No one is safe from the blog this weekend, if you get caught in the crossfire’s of the camera during inebriated incidents, it all fair game posting them up in a weeks time.. BLAH... Tonight, Embassy, Toronto, Ontario. Tomorrow, Tokyo, Montreal, Quebec. Two nights, two hang over’s, two pairs of Jordan's dropping on my birthday? (Fire red & Burgundy)



On a side note, My deepest respects to the Gonzalez Family on the lost of a true Patriarch. When I heard the news it was devastation. Our thoughts and love is with you during this tough time.
