Hey, That's a nice package you've got there!

So awhile back I won this contest, and a package came yesterday!


Let's open the box and see what's inside!


Why, I wonder what it could be!


Holy smokes, it's a skateboard and other stuff! Now I know what all the top pros feel like every day.


Wow, a kick ass 8 inch Cold War Strike skateboard! Before now I had only dreamed of owning one of these and only seen them in the movies and print. I thought they were only for kings and billionaires. It's got a nice squarish tail and deep concave. Perfect for parks and bowls!



And a bunch of stickers, Old Kooks shoe laces, grip tape...my goodness, I got more than I hoped.


It's a start.


I've said it before and I'll say it again, winning skateboard contests is OK, but winning Photoshop Internet skateboard contests is way better. Thanks Kilwag, Grover, and everyone who voted for me-you know who you are. To top it all off, someone found my keys that I lost almost 2 weeks ago. What a great day.

There once was a man from New Haven.

It's been awhile since I posted, I know. Anyway, I turned 34 on June 24th and life is going OK, except for my golf game. I beat Metal Gear Solid 4 this weekend, and believe me, that game is a reason to buy a Playstation 3. The skateboarding hasn't been as plentiful as I hope, partly because Lake Cunningham raised their rates to 5 dollars instead of 2. TGW.com sent me the wrong hat that I ordered (or I guess didnt order!), and SnA hasn't sent me my contest-winning prize yet. Maybe life hasn't been so OK then.
I took my oldest son, 4, to see Wall-E this weekend. This is the ?th Pixar movie I can think of that features Cliff Claven as a voice. Is his voice really that great? He's been in Toy Story, A Bug's Life, Cars, Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc.,The Incredibles, Ratatouille, and now Wall-E as a fat load on the spaceship. I guess it's a running joke.
I could think of many voices more pleasing to the ear than Cheers' jolly downtrodden mailman. I think that ship has sailed, but Pixar seems to disagree.
Maybe that's why their execs rake in so much money and I work in a warehouse.
Anyway more info as soon as I can get something interesting to post.
