Why?Oh man that was great. Perfect wind- steady and strong. Perfect direction. I went a little upwind from Elwood Sailing Club and got some huge 4-6m jumps. 12-15 huge forwards- no bail outs all good stuff. I give this five out of five despite the fact that I crashed at high speed while gybing and I’d say I’m 70% certain I’ve cracked a rib. Never mind, worth it.

Donny… WTF were you?

Why?damn I am unfit. And heavy. The new smaller board needs crazy strong winds to get up and boogie. When it did it was ok, it turns really well. But fitness was my main problem…

Oh and this happened:

Out of control high speed and then wham, shin down the board.

This should hurt like hell, but thanks to my knee reco- where my surgeon severed a nerve somewhere in that region, resulting in me having no feeling where the injury occured. Lucky days huh? It’s a hell of a party trick. I can stick pins in my shin without pain…

Clearly, you must see the humor in high-def television – baltimoresun.com:

“If you’re looking for cheap, easy entertainment – and who isn’t these days? – here’s something that’s always a hit.

Get yourself invited to the home of a friend who’s just sunk two or three grand into a fancy high-def TV…

… no matter what he puts on, watch it for a minute or two.

Then shake your head and say: “Maybe it’s me. But I just don’t see any difference between high-def and regular TV.”"

I just bought (actually Lay-by’d) a new LG HDTV, DVD/PVR/Digital tuner and 5.1 surround system and wish to take this opportunity to warn all who plan to visit: LOVE MY NEW HDTV or suffer the consequences…

Cycle News Online:

“Freestyler and Supermoto racer Mike Metzger suffered a broken back yesterday while performing a back flip for the Discovery Channel near the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California, according to the Long Beach Press Telegram”

While injuries are par-for-the-course in FreestyleMX, I just hope that the Godfather has not lasting effects. This sounds pretty serious and ominous.

If I offered you a million dollars to do the following, would you do it?

- Run around in the sun on a hot day for a few hours.

Sounds bad right? Ok, I’ll sweeten it:

- You get a 3 minute break every 5-10 minutes.
- Cool drinks and a shade umbrella. Maybe even a fan while you take a break.
- You can wear whatever clothing you want.
- I will provide a person with a towel every minute or so.
- I’ll get a crowd to cheer you ever step of the way. Up to 15,000 of them.

If you fail, I’ll still give you some money, a car and a driver and adulation.

Sounds good huh?

So why are these softcocks complaining?

Tone sent this to me.

It’s not exactly my best moment- nor best pic. But I like it…

Cameron Reilly’s pic from our lil golf session last week!

It’s fairly simple:

• He released this album.
• He is on this show.
• His body of work is extensive.

Any album that features Henry Rollins and has the following exchange is worthy of your time:

BILL: I can’t get behind so-called singers that can’t carry a tune, get paid for talking, how easy is that? Well, maybe I could get behind that!
ROLLINS: Well, I can’t! If you have to fix it with a computer: quantized, pitch corrected, and overly inspected, then you can’t do it, and I can’t get behind that!

So go now!!
