not at sliders

today i surfed "not at sliders". it is a trip to surf somewhere other than where you surf. felt like i was on a different planet. at first i wasn't into the session, then i just kicked back and thought about how fortunate of a life i live. i had a few waves...then came in a spoke to my buddy bobby D.

i'm going to piss on the rain.

hodge podge! Tuesday style!!!
