I can kick you higher than you can kick me.
I have gone nearly two weeks without blogging. Some called me lazy. Some thought I’d given up on blogging altogether. The truth of the matter is that I’ve just been too ridiculously busy! Work, in a nutshell, has been a gong show. However, it’s slowly starting to dwindle down and return to normal. Matt has finished up laying tracks at the Warehouse, so he’s got a few days of time on his hands until he goes back on Tuesday to mix.
Hanging out doesn’t happen so much while he’s working, so last night we went to Six Acres for dinner and Czech beer and French wine. Afterwards he had some people (including “Gilberto” - that would be Rod) over at his flat for more wine and talking. By that time, I’d had so much wine I could hardly walk to bed and just passed out. Matt, on the other hand, stayed up until 2am watching Lord of the Rings, munching on almonds and sucking back Coca-Cola. And we both woke up with pounding headaches. The best cure for a headache is…

…new shoes!
I figure that since I haven’t blogged in so long, I owe you all a fun nugget. There are very few people in this world who have never seen an episode of Jackass or at least one of the two movies. That franchise has spun off a few TV shows and inspired many idiots around the world to pull similar stunts. However, back in the day and long before Jackass ever premiered on MTV in the late 90s, a few boys in West Chester, Pennsylvania filled their days making home movies. Sometimes they were mock music videos, sometimes they were skateboard videos, sometimes they were prank videos and most times they featured Dico (Brandon “Bran” DiCamillo) sharing with us his plethora of acting and vocal skills. These home movies were collectively known as “CKY.” In case you’re curious, that stands for Camp Kill Yourself. I never worked there.
When Jackass began, the show sometimes featured snippets of these old CKY movies and claimed them as their own. However, nothing beats the original. Below is a video I snagged off You Tube, and it features the best of the CKY franchise. What’s most enjoyable is seeing Bam Margera, Dico, Ryan Dunn, Raab Himself, Rake Yohn and the crew back when they were young’uns in their late teens and early 20s. Check it out for yourself…
*Disclaimer - I cannot be held responsible for the bad language and retarded behavior you’ll see in this video. So just watch it and shut up.

ha ha ha i love it sooo much this reminds me of highschool… after we watched all the cky movies we were like damn small town alberta could use some of this. yeah, i was a skate boarding delinquent. we did some stupid shit, most of which my brothers freinds instigated… one time we skated through the mall with skeliton suits on and swam in the mall fountain… one of our freinds got aressted :S it was sucky
When I worked at Bluenotes (right before AE) some idiots were offended by our CKY pins and I had to sift through a couple of hundred to fish them all out. Grrr!!! People who are easily offended shouldn’t be hanging about in stores meant for skate punks.
