Recycled
It's a nice image of recycling, via Unconsumption.
Been almost too busy to type ... nevertheless, here are some words that have made their way onto the page. Although, not many. More later ... promise.
Howl
In keeping with my James Franco phase, and in keeping with my predilection for biopics about writers, I watched Howl last night and disappeared into weird ’50s beat poet ruminations. I don't read poetry that often because it seems like you have to think too much about it. But I like Ginsberg's Howl simply because it's nice to read. Strange wonderful imagery from an eccentric brain. Here's a tad for you to chew on:
...backyard green tree cemetery dawns,
wine drunkenness over the rooftops,
storefront boroughs of teahead joyride neon
blinking traffic light, sun and moon and tree
vibrations in the roaring winter dusks of Brook-
lyn, ashcan rantings and kind king light of mind....
new work
Did a bunch of work for Pat at Coda, sent it in, and then promptly forgot about it. That's how it goes sometimes. Recently, though, I stumbled across it again on the new and improved Codaskateboards.com. Paddle over and peep all the new stuff—new board graphics, new photos and videos, and my mini conversations with the illustrious Team Coda.
Bon Annee
I didn't work for two weeks straight during the winter holiday thingy—but it may as well have been two months. My inbox is now poppin' off with new assignments, but my brain is somewhere else, or full of something slow, like the thick, sticky substance that coated Nick and Justin's wood floors after the above New Years fete they threw.
I'm not sure about this photo. I mean I like the colors, but Noot looks a little weird—like an awkward spotted toddler. His Christmas sweater is very festive, though.
Did you know that despite Department of Skateboarding having been closed for months and months, skating continues to happen inside the gutted space? Yeah, that's how desperate we are during these cold, wet days. Anyway, the Koerner-Ansons came here for the New Year and this is where we whiled some time away.
I like it when boys snuggle like this. Cozy.
