coming along nicely

It looks a lot worse then it feels. I have been on my feet non-stop for the past few days. It does bug me since the pressure is pretty bad, but it is somewhat bearable within reason. Nothing an ibuprofen can't handle somewhat. Anyways, I hope for everything to be back to it's original colour in a week or so. I'm praying that the ankle is back to 100% in a month or so. Thanks to everyone who I grossed out, or simply put into shock by showing them that a foot can actually look like the way mine does.

Trev hard at work


Break meal...


Weather as of late


This thing just made me laugh hysterically. A beat up, old truck, with random shit in the back. Oh, and who would have guessed where they were from...


At first, the nurses, and I thought it was broken. The swelling is pretty gnar. Luckily, nothing is broken. Just an "extremely severe" sprain and hyper extension according to the doctor.

Peachy

It's been a while since I have been able to update my blog. Sorry! No wireless internet to steal, and no wireless router to make my internet wireless! Too much techie talk. Anyways...the joys of working 2 jobs, and one of those jobs being midnight shifts has left me no time to shoot many photos as of late. Kind of a bring down. My schedule consists of: 1. Wake up at 3PM. 2. Shower, eat a bowl of mini-wheats and ingest pills the size of your thumb by 4PM. 3. Drive to work through tourist traffic to be at work for 5. 4. Finish work at 10:30PM, then rush through more rush hour tourist traffic to make it to my second job for 11:00PM. 5. Work till 7, 8AM then go home to sleep. 6. REPEAT. The joys of life.

So, in some of the moments that I had some free time, I went to the park, and shot some photos on the rock beside the park with PJ. Here is a blunt fakie that is a lot harder then it looks.

Loss of a True Soldier

On a cool morning of July. The skateboard community took a heavy loss. It may not have been a professional skateboarder, nor some local up & comer. It was a great man who looked at skateboarding in a different way. Anthony Nedea (Co-Owner of Antigravity Skateshop) was a man of many, MANY words. Sometimes it was hard just to shut him up. But everything he would say, was either a great piece of knowledge, something that brought a laugh and smile to all who heard, or something so rediculous that you had to argue about it with him. Good luck winning that argument, Anthony would go for days about something. He was always so sure of himself, and it showed very well.

Anthony always walked tall, and insured that he was noticed. Everyone knows who he is, and everyone will never forget who he was. A man of rough beginnings, to someone who was living the "Canadian" dream. Owning his own business with help of his son Trevor, and loved one Mei.

Antigravity will always be my second home, and with the loss of Anthony, I feel that his memory will live on forever within the walls of the shop. Everytime something falls, or creeks, I know that will be Anthony watching over us.

Farewell my friend. I will miss you with all of my heart. When I arrive at those golden gates, I'll make sure to have the 6 pack ready.

Anthony Nedea | 11/22/1957 - 7/4/2009 | Rest in Peace

A little bit of London

I had a few days off, which allowed me to go back to London for a short trip. It was definitely worth it. Plus, I had to pack up some things from my house when I was in school. Anyways, Colin, Tim, Dave H, Dave A, Jordan, and myself all squeezed into my car and hit up Western U. Nice 10 set indoors, and a nice 8 set outdoors. We sessioned the 8 set for a while, and got some decent footage! Then decided to go in to try the 10 where some crazy-ass shit went down! Not sayin anything though! You're just going to have to wait on Jordan's video, which I have no idea when it will be released.

Here are some shots from the day...
