The hacking

camera man Jarred

my foot hurt

I have a very painful planters wart on my foot, I haven't really had time to go see a doctor about it so I finally just cut it off, I figured I may aswell have Jarred film it too.

I started cutting in with the knife and it doesn't hurt at first, but once I got close to the center of the wart it was like hitting a nerve, pain shot up my foot and through my whole leg, it was pretty painful.

Once I reached a certain depth blood just started spurting out, I didn't realize I was bleeding so much until I lifted one hand off my foot and blood went all over the floor and my pants. Later on I bandaged it with some toilet paper and a shoe lace.

I finally go the wart off and my foot felt way better, it actually hurts more to step on something wrong with the wart on my foot than it hurts to hack the wart off and bleed allover.

shameless fest 2008

mini mosh pit

So this spring I had a concert, well I hosted a concert, because I don't have a band. I was supposed to do a senior project that was for the better of the community so I held this concert and called it Shameless Fest, it was a rock/punk/rap show, we had it all. Admission was a can of food and we donated it all to homeless people.

The first band to go up was local, just a couple friends of mine who knew how to play songs and sing. I was surprised at how well they had their shit together actually.

Second band up was from Pullman, Squarezero. I knew they're guitar player from a school I went to a few years before, they were awesome. They had a few songs of their own and played a couple cover songs like "fortunate son" and "hey joe". I was super stoked.

Third band was a group of kids from cheweelah, Shooting Blanks. I had known their drummer and his brother for quite a few years and we were pretty good friends. They were amazing, probably one of the best shows of the night, they played for well over and hour and still had songs to go. They did a lot of blink-182 covers, but also had a lot of songs of their own.

Up next was the most hardcore band of the night, Hypochrist was a canadian punk/thrash band that I had seen a couple times. I knew the members through my ex-girlfriend and from random run ins at the skatepark. They definately ripped, they played harder, faster and in true punk style, drunker than anyone that night.

Finally was the group most everyone came to see, 2Twisted, these local small town rappers knew how to rhym, and with a whole knew album of songs to spit at the crowd they definately kept everyone entertained.

As the night grew on though it began to rain, I thought people would start heading home, but they just kept packing in and the rain made for a better show because pepole packed right up to the stage. in the end it was a good show for a good cause and ended up making a decent photo story too.

The last Sesh

I was driving down Northwest Boulevard when I saw a sweet bank, not like a deposit withdrawl bank, like an inclined section of asphault. So I looked at it for like 2 weeks and then finally decided to skate it one day when Jarred and I both had a day off from work.

We got there and Jarred tried to ollie to fakie on the bank, this is where, for thsoe of you who don't know, you ollie and then come back straight down, so you're riding backwards. Then I guess he got bored of that or something because he started trying to tail drop off this ledge, I think the place we were at used to be a church or something, but it looked like there used to be steps up to this ledge or soemthing because there was a door and no logical reason to not have steps.

Then I let Jarred run the camera for a bit. I got the ollie to fakie down first try because it's just an ollie. It took a few more trys for me to get the frontside ollie down. This is just a frontside 180, but I sucked at 180s that day or something so it took a while.

Anyways it was the last session we had be for this piss poor weather came along. Now I'm stuck indoors with no excuse not to do myt photomedia homework and I'm going to end up blogging all night.
