not only do you have to be careful of how you drive, but it’s almost just as important to watch the idiots around you… i feel like people are not aware of what they are doing when they are driving… well, lemme open up some eyeballs…

cars are not toys… cars are machines… insane machines… they weigh around 2 tons and they travel over 100mph… the amount of destruction that can be done with a “small” or “compact” car is amazing…

what i’ve just mentioned is not really news to anyone who has been driving for more than a year… but i wanted to point out that we get so used to hopping in the car and just driving… not conscious of how powerful the machine we are operating really is… people get reminded of how powerful it is when things go wrong…

it’s insane to know how many cars are on the road… it’s insane that almost everyone has a car… we are insane.

think about your driving next time you get in a car… it’s more than likely that you suck at driving and are a liability to everyone else on the road… so be aware that you are driving a machine… not a car. you’ll be helping us all out…

more to come from Royal Stain!

i’ve worked for furniture stores, skate companies, radio stations, and breweries… one thing they all have in common is that everything becomes busy at the same time… going into detail about how they all became busy is not interesting (and will piss me off to elaborate on)… no matter how far ahead i got myself at each job, something new would come up… i used to get mad stressed about this fact… stressing out or getting pissed doesn’t really solve anything though… it just makes it worse and worse…

once i came to grips with the raining and pouring, which has been recently, life slowed down a bit… understanding that you can’t do everything at once was a good start… also realizing that once something is done, there is always something else that needs to be done… it’s just the way she goes… when five things come up (good or bad), just roll with it… embrace it… if you have nothing going on, you might be dead! life can bring you down, but you gotta stay positive… look at all challenges as opportunities… it’ll help you crush life.

so next time you accomplish any goal or task, look for what’s next… if you don’t, it’ll find you… stay on top of the game… win the game…

when it rains, it pours… true… pour it on…

peace and noLove…

this last weekend it was warm enough to be outside… it wasn’t quite warm enough to melt some of the leftover snow… the park was skateable, but it still had some of mother nature’s booby traps (puddles, mounds of snow, ice, etc.)… conditions were far from ideal, but being outside made everything right… a couple homies, some skateboarding, and fresh air is all you need…

being cooped up indoors at work all week sucks… getting outside gives you that feeling of being free… i have been missing that free feeling…

it’s the best when you start your session all bundled up on a winter night and end it sweating in a t-shirt… it’s also pretty sweet that when you get warmed up, you can’t stop… if you do, you freeze! that cold weather keeps you off your ass… winter skateboarding kicks ass!

all in all, we have an indoor life in the US… get up and get out before you can’t!

peace and noLove…
