These thoughts really popped into my head yesterday when I talked to my dad on the phone… he was making comments on my sister’s MySpace and not thinking I asked which sister, I have a 19 year-old sister and a 9 year-old sister? Then the sudden realization that my 9 year-old sister Connie wouldn’t have a MySpace page I was really surprised… or maybe I wasn’t… For some odd reason, maybe because I am an asshole, my 19 year-old sister Ashley/Lauren… or whatever she is going by these days… hasn’t invited me to be a MySpace friend, SHIT! that sounds pretty dorky… not that MySpace has this huge impact on my life, but it is the principal of the whole thing… family and all… In fact neither Gypsie or I have spoken to her since she stayed here at the house last year when she was moving to Texas.
I know I have bagged on her for the last few years about the guy she married, but I feel like I have had good reason… He has made no effort to have any real conversation with me, much less any realtionship. So I have bagged on them… but I had hoped that she would actually make good decisions in her life, like some sort of education and career, especially since I have strived to make something of myself and give myself everything I could want and more. We were invited to her high school graduation, which I think my mother may have had something to do with that… Other than that, she never even called to say “Hey brother I am getting married!”. I think about it now and want to say WHAT THE FUCK! I would just like my sister in my life and want to call and say “Hello” and whatnot… The only way I find out anything is if our parents tell me what is going on in her and her husbands life… In fact, my youngest sister talks to me on the phone much more than her and she is 9 years-old might I add!
We use to have fun together and somewhat hang out when we saw each other… Hell… one of her favorite bands is The Cure… HELLO! So if you read this, I love you and forgive your brother for being an asshole… understand where I am coming from with everything…
OK… it was on my mind and I wanted to express that… blah blah blah…

I MISS ROXIE SO MUCH!X8
I LUV U BRO, CONNIE
Its funny these ads were released around the time when Nike gave its first go at making skateboard shoes. Although these adds were very good, they actually may have pushed skaters away further, by making it look like they were trying to hard to fit in w/ the skateboarding community. Now a couple of years later, Nike SB take 2, they are fully established as a shoe company for skateboarding. But there ads follow a more skateboard formulaic approach, trying not to stick out as much as the 11 billion dollar company they are. Nike had to wait out an entire generation of anti-corporate skateboarders and now they are accepted. I would rather have these kids save there money so they can buy alcohol or drugs instead of buying nikes. At least this way in there altered state they could actually realize the hipocracy which is nike in skateboarding. NIKE ISN’T SKATEBOARDING
