1/01/05 > New years at Ellington's with girls dressed in white, Erik's new chainsaw, Kutter with explosives, Beagle being Beagle, and Shimizu lurking at the 101. Happy new years bitches!!!

12/31/04 > I'd like to personally thank Justin and Brandon for ramming their vans into each other. My first airbag incident. Rebroken finger, awesome.

12/29/04 > Flew back home and it's raining buckets. Good thing I got the call from Steve Berra nd Jim Greco to skate the dryest spot in town.

12/25/04 > Typical Lambert Christmas situation, typical Christmas party Kung-fu Shawn situation.

12/24/04 > Woke Nasty up at 7:00 a.m. to drive me to LAX. Guess what color his new pillow is?

12/23/04 > TODAYS GRECO QUOTES!

"The way I look at it each trick I get is a year off that scumbags life. Right now that fat fuck is like 40, so when I'm done with my part he's gonna be at least 85. Plus I can fit bodys in my trunk."

"I got this spiked fence gap spot, last time I tried to skate it this guy said he was going to shoot me."

"Go ahead, shoot me motherfucker!"

"The problem is that I'm trying to skate and this guy looks like a fat Ice-T with dreadlocks."

"I'm only showin' you two tricks from my part, that's it, don't ask for anymore."

12/21/04 > Bob called me at 4:11 a.m. with an idea for the site. He's going to shoot photos, interview, and "fucking wreck" me sometime after Christmas. Awesome.

12/19/04 > A couple of days ago Ben Gilley shot Heath Kirchart in the eye with a pellet gun, so now Heath looks cool as hell wearing a temporary eyepatch. Heath also looks pretty damn cool on the cover of the new Skateboarder.

12/18/04 > Filmer Greg thinks he can just show up at my house and throw me in the Foundation van whenever he wants... actually as long as he keeps buying the chili dogs that's cool. Oh!!! Next time you see Angel Ramirez make sure to ask him about his "guilty hands".

12/17/04 > The flash delay on my point and shoot is about 2.8 seconds.

12/16/04 > Shimizu's making all the hippies jealous.

12/15/04 > Winter night sessions are in effect!

12/14/04 > I knew Nasty was acting way to manly when he said he was going to the army surplus store to get a backpack. If you think that's suspect, wait till you see his new scarf collection. Anyway, someone tell Katie K I see her dancing on a six story building everytime I go to the photo lab. Which reminds me that A&I is such a skate photographer hot spot that they're putting together a Skate Life photo show. Send em if you got em!!!

12/11/04 > Weekend Phoenix skate mission went from HOT to NOT real quick. Luckily Scott Kane's a tough bastard, he'll be fine. Little Nick T did come through with a rather stylish nollie 180 flip though. *Note the filmer's shadow in the last frames. Did someone miss the shot? Just kidding, we still love you because you drive really damn fast.

12/09/04 > Nate Sherwood didn't win the Analog best trick contest! Give the kid a hand.

12/08/04 > Jared eats spots like this for breakfast and Dimitry battles boy band wannabes at night. I could explain the whole situation but my finger still hurts. I will say that Hellrose is on BURNT ALERT level orange, no no, make that hot pink. Finally, Ritchie B is trading DJ Chavez's clothes for beer if anybody is interested.

12/07/04 > Donkey Punch said knock you out.

12/05/04 > What if I dislocated my finger fighting with a crackhead in the middle of a busy downtown LA intersection? What if Jeffy didn't take any photos and Dan practiced rib kicks? I'd probably end up at Dave Hoang's super ultra mega white picket fence house party in Long Beach and then receive this email at 7:00 in the morning. Run on sentences and Boosh are banned from the site for at least two weeks.

12/04/04 > We were so close to having another pop shove-it sequence, but in the end the hair won.

12/03/04 > This Just in: Sammy Baca has officially won the "Hair Of The Year" award. This also just in: Las Vegas is fucking freezing and I had to fire Boosh as my private consultant.

12/02/04 > Arizona photographer Matt Price has been shooting some sick flicks lately. Also, I just hired Boosh as my private consultant.

12/01/04 > If anyone wants to come over and jack my internet, the password is sk8ordie, feel free to chill on the balcony and illegally download something. Nice tat, Gareth.

11/30/04 > My brother is on some other level hair status, or he's going through his Greg Brady phase.

11/29/04 > Hey kid, it's me kid, Tony Silva, front board through the kinks oh whaaattttt!? Good looks, good looks.

11/28/04 > Thanks for coming over girls. Thanks for writing on my walls, thanks for punching me in the stomach. Oh well, at least this chick made out with me for buying her a hotdog. Spanky pulled some tail too, XL model.

11/27/04 > It's hard to look cool with a headset on. Okay, I'll admit it. My gamertag is XX SHADROCK XX so add me to your friends list and get splattered.

11/26/04 > Skated straight outta … no, skated straight into Crenshaw because J. Roy is my homeboy. Pop shove-its are soooooooooooo caught right now.

11/22/04 > Special guest appearance photo taken by Matt Mecaro of Black Label filmer Grant Schubert. Nice, two of my favorite lens bandits in one link, time to take a vacation…

11/21/04 > We're all going to Club 82 tonight, preparty at my apartment. Whoooaaaa yeah, I need to do the photo thing … guess which one of these guys is most likely to come to the club, not come inside, but just drink happily somewhere in the parking lot.

11/19/04 > I think these guys only talk to me because I've got Halo 2. Oh, Boosh called me up, it's his birthday, and he was crying tears of joy because he received the OC Boxset.

11/18/04 > Nasty got a job! Feel free to spy and harass Nate at Amoeba Records from 2 until 11. Also, expect a highly fashionable fall bike lock line to be modeled soon.

11/16/04 > Oh man, it's 10:05 PM and I just got a Kool Kutter All Points Bulletin. Four pro skateboarders, a photographer, and a filmer just went to jail at the butter hubba . I believe the official terminology for that location is no longer "hot spot" or "burnt" but more like "scorched" or "death wish". Damn, it was fun while it lasted.

11/14/04 > Since the last sequence was a switch pop shove-it, let's just say that Corey Sheppard's part in the new Blind video is so good that he's now officially my favorite mutant.

11/12/04 > I'm in Arizona with a firewire, Lamare killed it.

11/11/04 > I'm in Arizona without a firewire, kill me.

11/09/04 > Jared hooked up the hubs and accidentally created a swarm of epic proportions. In less then 24 hours confirmed feasters include; Ragdoll, Otvos, Lizard, Reynolds, Nuge, Tamales, Eldridge, Dollin, Spanky, Brayden, Atkin, Atiba, Seu, Dawes, Beagle, Scuba, Hernandez, Bill, Riff, and (insert your name here). I love you guys, we should hang out more often.

11/07/04 > I just found out the new Skateboarder has some slightly wicked awesome photos of this guy. Hey Peech! Hey Jaime! Can I get a subscription?

11/04/04 > Just a reminder that Florida ripper Josh Dowd is really really really good.

11/01/04 > Last night was the greatest Halloween Bloodbath I've ever seen. And please let me apologize for misreading the warning label on the fake blood. I know I told everyone it was "water soluble", but what I meant to say was that it "definitely stains." We're still friends, right?

10/30/04 > Sneek freakin' preview of Daniel Shimizu's halloween costume.

10/27/04 > We could be skating these new hubbas right now ... if it wasn't raining buckets of smog water.

10/26/04 > I have a friend named Yannis who skated to the bar one night and got hit by a car. He just flew onto the hood and bounced off, so it was funny. Later that night he skated back from the bar, and guess what, he got hit by another car. It's probably rental karma. Check this is a 13 MEG quicktime of Yango to see what the hell I'm talking about.

10/25/04 > I know I haven't put anything on the site for three days, but the new Grand Theft Auto is out. Ryan Gee knows exactly what I'm talking talking about!

10/24/04 > I'm working on archiving these text messages, cross your fingers.

10/22/04 > Foundation Greg is definitely in my top three filmers. His people skills are top notch.

10/20/04 > Kool Kutta is a Kool Mutha, but he busts my balls for not updating the site everyday. Chill Kudder, it's dry so we're killing that spot tonight.

10/19/04 > The "record sound" button on my digi made Gareth's Kareoke Birthday Bash seem like a really bad beer commercial, or some creepy highschool dance. At least everyone worked together as a team and was kicked out for for breaking bottles.

10/18/04 > Seems like DRUNKEN DIALING is at an all time high these days, just ask BOOSH!

10/17/04 > This is the new hot spot and Tony Silva is my favorite backside flipper for the next 37 minutes.

10/15/04 > Not only is Jared Lucas a rad filmer who makes me photoshop his head out of all my flicks, he's related to George. You know George, that Star Wars guy. Jordan Williams knows what I'm talkin' about.

10/13/04 > I just found out that Garret Hill plays Diablo and knows exactly what the "Horadic Cube" and "Ward's Leg" is. Basically that means he's killed Satan a bunch of times, I like him.

10/12/04 > Half frame cameras are so fucking awesome.

10/10/04 > Shooting with Mark Gutterman is a real treat, swear to god this valley kid can do tricks with his eyes closed.

10/09/04 > Two hours sleep, back on the streets. Adam Alfaro always gets me hyped.

10/09/04 > Clint Peterson is going for almost cover number four! I wish I could show you guys, but it's way to hot. Just visualize an expert class level 5 ledge, gap bonus points, and a gnar multiplier of 7.8. Clint definitely has high score for the month.

10/07/04 > I've been abducted by the Stereo team for a couple days, and yes, Special Agent Benny Fairfax has reported for duty.

10/06/04 > It's amazing what you can find while cleaning your car. I always liked this "harsh light" "harsh contrast" roll-in photo of Donny Barley in Barcelona. I like it so much that it's seriously mellowing my harsh right now.

10/03/04 > Finally scored some trespassing tickets at Burbank Middle School today, front row court seats on the 28th, YEAH! It also appears that Scalamere's new strict regiment of vegitables, soy products, and O'doul's is giving him super powers.

10/02/04 > My brother has a cool new leather jacket and just told me he's 400 dollars short on rent. It's cool though, I'm sure Nasty's working hard to come up with the loot.

10/01/04 > After that 15 hour drive we're back in LA!! There's way to many photos so here's some FOUNDATION tour mayhem. On that note Ethan Fowler is my favorite skateboarder for the next 27 minutes.
