too damn right!!!!

i once read that 'utopia' means 'no place' derived from the greek 'O'topia. others surmise its origins is from 'eu' (as in 'eugenics'). which means 'healthy place' or 'good place'. sir thomas more in his 16th century Utopia might have been punning when he said "utopia is the good place that doesnt exist". too damn right!!


the kommunist regime in Russia & the nazis in Germany all began as utopian visions. we've heard the saying many times "the road to hell is paved with good intention". "perfection" is always disrupted by dissent. there will always be sumone out there who will not endorse your view or fit in with your plan. the question is..... what will you choose to do about it?

grimey skate spot

here are some of the fotos i took of that wikkid new skate spot in the city!! its very "basic" at the moment. rail.... fun box & a ramp. theres a charred mattress & a few wonky looking office chairs strewn about. but i instantly fell in LOVE with this spot!!!!! *sigh* i kan imagine wat it feels like skating places like 'royal oak' in London (fingers krossed next year) or brooklyn bridge in NY. this spot has that sort of potential.






i think i have a penchant for undercover spots? its just nice to be sheltered from the sun & rain. especially when you're mockingly meters away from torrential rain but the ground you skate on is bone dry. weeeeeeee!!! sheer bliss. these fotos are from my kamera fone.... so they're pretty awful. i will promise to upload MORE of 'mounts bay' the next kouple of weeks. happy skating everyone!!!!!

good vibes

fwaar!! has anyone heard the new Calvin Harris tune 'i'm not alone'? its less disko sounding than 'acceptable in the 80s'..... but i am lovin' it!!!!! nouveau choons up on the radio.blogg. its krucial. since when did the world become so negatory? everyone i chat with back on the evil isle & HK are whinging about sumthing or another. krap health & finances. krappy relationship. sucky job. how fat & ugly they feel.

i think i've always lived in my own shell cause i have always been very posi in outlook. extreme happiness apparently. sure i've been a mess the past few years. and still have some issues that need working on. but when you become paralyzed from living & start bringing others down..... its TOXIC!!! people are dying from disaster & disease. your problems are miniscule in kontrast. so get over yourself. ooh!! excites!! i have loads of fotos of that wikkid skatespot to post tomorrow!!!!!!!! yaaaay.

*chokes*

i'm fucked up cause i love LV. i know... i know. its an old ladies handbag. and if you're not a hag then you're a friggin poser or a fag who likes mass produced.. monogrammed prints... lack a unique fashion identity & all that malarkey. but i dunt give a toss!! cause you gotta admit.... this. is. fully. SICK innit?!!!!! LV & skateboards all in one?! ooooh baby!!


i've seen the limited edition LV stephen spruce 'complete' & trunk late last year. i always wundered who won the bid for the 3 sets in NYC: rich banker wankers who used to skate back in the day? or did it end up with sum asshole kollector who doesnt give a rats arse for skating but bought it anyway. wish i was a squillionaire. i'd love to skate a $9,000 deck & wear my $1,200 LV 'Jasper shoos' just because. being middle klass sucks!! pfffffft!! these shoos are wikkid man. i want the ones with the pink soles. *sigh* source: Ibn Jasper's Blog

buttons

i've always loved kollecting buttons & pins. it all started back when i was working at Hard Rock Cafe to pay my way thru art college. pins are sorta part of the uniform. what started as a requirement for work became an unexpectedly large kollection!! i even designed 2 of their pins when i was a member of staff for world aids day & the 8th anniversary pin as highlighted below.
i dunt know why but i recently had this urge to wear buttons again after a 7 year hiatus. oh. my gosh!! i totally forgot the kick ass ones i've kept!!! but my all time fave simply says "skateboarder by day, deadly ninja by night" haHaha!!! i've got a ginormous box filled with buttons. mostly skate/ sxe/ drum&bass/ rebellion related graphix. i love it!!!
so it got me thinking maybe i shud start pressing buttons for guerrrilla skateboards? most skate shops & manufacturers give out free stickers as well (which is pretty standard). buttons: its something to seriously konsider. i need to go find me a button press/ maker. now where the hell do i get one? hmmm...... and i am so excited about this WIKKID new skate spot me mates are taking me this weekend!!!!!! i have got to bring my kamera!!!!! yeessh!!

WOLFMOTHER

3 words: oooh my daaay!! it was like watching my old man perform in his hey days. i've always loved 'wolfmother' as a band. but watching them "live" was 1,0000,000 times better!! it. was. epic. the support band Yves Klein Blue wasnt too shabby either. sounding like a mix of rockabilly.. grunge and soul.... they delivered a wikkid solid set. i've heard their choon 'polka' from a mitsi lancer sport pack ad. who wudve thought the rest of their album was brimming with awesome-ness as well!!!!!




i didnt expect to be kaught in the middle of a mosh pit at the start of 'wolfmother'. this isnt punk rock. its just 'wolfmother' man. but any excuse is a good one to pogo i guess? i'm used to sweat... testosterone & the occasional flying shoo. but Audrey wasnt. thank heavens she didnt mind it!!! *phew* there was a dodgy wanker high as a kite in the pit. he started grinding his pelvis on my butt from behind me. wat an idiot!!!!! i elbowed him REALLY hard & stomped his toes with my heel. then i walked away. he is not going to remember any of this!!! though i hope the ache in his rib & toes are enough to keep him away from gigs & drugs for awhile. sheeesh. otherwise.... twas a wikkid wikkid night!!
