Hurr'cane Earl

Hurricane Earl graced the shores of North Carolina Friday. The Outer Banks braced for a heavy storm, but it didn't cause too much damage.

Earl DID bring some great surf, which I got in on yesterday (Sat) in Nags Head. I was supposed to work at Quiznos, but the manager decided last minute to close down for all of Labor Day weekend. I was a little upset cause I gotta pay the bills somehow, but they made up for it by putting me on the schedule every day next week (great).

So, with no ticket to the NCSU football game and nothing else to do, I went hurr'cane chasin. Nags Head looked like the best bet in the morning and let's just say the surf was worth the 6 hour round trip by car.

Pics speak louder than words:





This was the lineup at Jannettes Pier. Kind of crowded for OBX but manageable. If you want to see more pics, check out obxsurfinfo

New Direction

I've been neglecting my huge fan-base lately.. It's hard to update completely en espanol, so i'm putting that on the backburner for a while.

Here is a skate project that James "Bettis" Webber and I made recently. The main thing i learned from this process is that being out of shape correlates directly with terrible skating. Consequence: a lot of ollies and tricks on a bench. Consolation: classic Bettis quotes and the music goes hard.

While you're there, look at my other videos. These are mostly clips from my old skate crew.

Life updates: This summer i've been on my grind. I'm working as an intern for the Treasury Dept, part-time for the Parks and Rec Dept, and at Quizno's. Parks and Rec isn't nearly as interesting as Amy Poehler and Aziz Ansari make it look on the NBC program of the same name. Speaking of which, that is my new favorite show. Mainly because of Aziz. You can watch all of season 1 and 2 on tvduck.com

I'm also moving into a new townhome tomorrow. It's at The Trails of North Hills and comes with a sweet pool and a newly remodeled interior. Come by and chill, I'll be in the pool.

MUSIC:

If you haven't heard it by now, give Drakes album Thank Me Later some immediate attention. It's easy to get into and, I believe, lives up to the hype. Only negatives: I really hate Swiss Beats.. also Drake's self-centered cries for attention can be a little absurd. At least he can be clever about his infatuation with himself.

Do you like The Streets? Then look up Jamie T's album "Kings and Queens." Never heard of The Streets but like British accents? Listen to Jamie T's album "Kings and Queens." Basically, listen to this album: it's an incredible breath of fresh air. He lets his style wander from hip-hop to folk ballads without missing a step. Don't believe me?

My friend Tim Lovick bought himself a legitimate mic and set up a little recording studio in his house. He's been putting together some good lyrics over some great beats and it's great to see his progression. Check out his YouTube page: http://www.youtube.com/user/timlovick87. Sidenote: he's also pursuing a football career in Europe. Baller.

Aqui tenemos grabaciones antiguas que nunca he usado. Fue grabado por un amigo mio en Raleigh. Disfrutalos tios.
