About Me
Well, let's start out with the most obvious things first: I love to skate. Duh. And I want to get sponcered by somebody. Another duh. Well, I'm black, which you'll see when I get my pictures up and going, but I don't act like it. I'm probably the whitest black person you'll ever meet. And if you have aany arguments over that, I unicycle. Can't get much whiter than that. Um... let's see... Daewon Song is probably one of my biggest skate influences, but I end up skating like Lizard King and Ragdoll. Yay for stalefishes and airwalks for days!
Um, what else? I guess if I could be on any team, it would clearly be almost or Girl. They both have a really good appeal about them. They seemed kinda chill, and that's what I want. DVS or Emerica shoes would be tight. DVS because the teams amazing, and Emerica because the teams cool, but I like the looks of their shoes. Matix clothing, and everything else is whatever I can get.
I'm a crazy little seveteen year old who has the title of "Free-Runner" at school. I like running up walls and jumping over badmitten nets and such (the highest I can jump is five feet). I'm the second oldest out of 7 kids. My parents are pastors... which means I have to follow the law... which means it's hard for me to go street skating at all. But I'm getting there.
Occupation
Student. I'm getting out of school this summer! I want to be a writer, go pro, or teach English in Japan.
Favorite Music
The band that I will never let go of, ven if they did break up, is Five Iron Frenzy. Not good shredding music, and even considered extremely weird, but that's what I love about them, even if nobody listens to ska anymore. But what I'm starting to listen to now is Artic Monkies, Bloc Party, Modest Mouse, Franz Ferididan (not spelt right, I know), and some J-Rock (japanese music) like An Cafe, Larc~En~Ciel, ORANGE RANGE and such. I'm up to anything that either A.) Makes me want to skate B.) Makes me laugh. C.) Something I can relate to or D.) something I'd consider having in a video part. anything else, no matter how much you love them, I'm not going to take interest.
Favorite Shows & Movies
Well, if we're talking skating my top five skate videos are probably:
5.) Yeah Right- Girl and Chocolate
4.) Almost Round 3- almost
3.) Skate More- DVS
2.) Let's Live- Volcom (Shane Cross has now taught me to live without regards)
1.) Phat Titz- Livermore skate locals video (it's easier to appreciate videos where you know the peopel and the spots)
but when we're talking about normal everyday kind of TV and movies, I just saw Surfs Up. That was a funnier movie than I thought it would be. I don't watch TV or movies all that much. Not enough time in teh day. I like The Office, Family Guy, American Dad (Yeah, I actually like that show), That 70's Show, Naruto (getting itno the anime now) Outlaw Star, Tenchi Muyo, Bleach, Bubblegum Crisis 2040, and Yu Yu Hakusho. I'll watch anything else recommended to me that makes me laugh.
Favorite Books
Well, once again, I read those anime comic books we like to call manga. There's too big of a list, so I'll just say anything by Ken Akamatsu and all teh mainstream stuff. But when I'm reading real books, I'm pretty fememine. I like anything by Sydney Sheldon, Nicholas Sparks (A Walk To Remember, Notebook, girlie books), Bill Myers (Christian author) and Stephenie Myer (Twilight series). I haven't quite found any other authors that has a writing style that captures my attention like these five people.
Interests
Well, besides skating (which takes a lot out of my time), I write novels. I love to tell a good story. I'm also a video game freak on those rainy days. I read a lot of books in my spare time. And I'm a huge anime freak. Yeah, I'm one of those weirdos. *laughs* I dunno what else there is to say really. I just hate kickflips. A lot. If there's nothing coming after a kickflip, I can't do 'em right. I can probably do a kickflip 50-50 and I'm trying to learn kicklfip stalefishes, but I just hate kickflips. They're very douchy. *Laughs*
