So I went to Charleston to work for a while.  It was intense.  I worked construction with Otis.  I was painting a house with the likes of Nick Thompson, Ty brown, Jack R. cox, Mark Frady, Jeff Stiers, and my personal favorite-Dusty Yauilla.  All of the previously mentioned are the most hardcore skate rats in Chucktown right now.  I went skating with them a couple of times but spent most of my time cruising downtown with the legend, Jersey Mike.  Jersey pushes faster than a squirrel trying to reach a nut.  He kept challenging me to a push war at the VC.  I must say that the skate scene in Charleston is getting good again.  Really Good.

The rain delayed go skateboarding day for Charleston is this Saturday and it should be a good one.  If you can, come check it out.  I will be announcing on the mic, so be ready for the hammers to drop.  

I learned something in church the other day.  I learned that I will never be able to push forward in life if I don't forgive the people in my life that have hurt me or my friends.  So here it is.  I want to publicly state that forgiveness is in my heart for Cheyne J. Dowds.  He may never read this, and I may never speak to him, but nevertheless, I forgive him for his wrongs.  And I apologize for bad mouthing him in retaliation.  I am not saying you should follow me, but it has made a difference.  

I don't know if that means I am supposed to forgive companies that sell chinese wood or not, so for the time being, they still suck.  If your board says P.R.C on the top when you purchase it, you are guilty of killing America.  Stop the killing of America, and buy American wood.

God Bless you all
