The Clog gave to me
Six idiots at Tommy's.
Xmas lights and amazing humans...
all add to the overall brass of the holiday season. A 49er win over the Steelers mixed with a generous portion of celebration ale don't hurt either.

The 12 Days of Clogmas: Day 6 (2 days late, damn it's after midnight. I am still two days behind)

The 12 Days of Clogmas: Day 5 (2 days late)
On the fifth day of Christmas,
The Clog gave to me
Five Mikes Hard Lemonade's!
Keeping up with the twelve days of Clogmas has proven much harder than I could have ever imaged.
If ever you are at a party and the only thing available to drink is a Mike's Hard Anything, then you pretty much know things are about to go severely downhill. Don't even try and act like you've never been in such a situation.

The 12 Days of Clogmas: Day 4
On the fourth day of Christmas,
The Clog gave to me...
...
... Four boobs...
Yup, that's right, four boobs. I was racking my brain trying to come up with something clever and entertaining for day, but time was running out and I was nowhere near a computer. After skating I became desperate, and asked both Justin and Wayne for ideas on what to post. "Four boobs," Wayne blurted out. I stared back at him dumbfounded, driving several city blocks with looking at the road whatsoever. "Where are we going to find four boobs Wayne," I asked, trying to humor his strange request. "Google images dude," Justin said. "You know we just like, photoshop ourselves in there." Wow.
So here it is, day four. I can't say it's the worst day of Clogmas, seeing as how there are many days to go, but it certainly falls short in the categories of relevancy and originality. This post happens to also be a day late, but given the content does it seriously matter one bit? No, I didn't think so either!

The 12 Days of Clogmas: Day 3
On the third day of Christmas,
The Clog gave to me
Three ripping rippers.
Christmas could greatly be improved by eliminating the need to buy others gifts. Take a look at Thanksgiving for example. You've got food, friends, family, football, pie, food, drinking, food, beer, wine, food, without the hassle of shopping. Most of us have enough material bull crap cluttering up our lives as it is. That is why I feel it is perfectly acceptable to regift something that was previously given to you.
Just about all of the tricks featured in this montage have already been used for one project or another over the course of several years. But just like that blender you received for your birthday last year, I am rewrapping these clips with sparkling paper, tying a nice bow around them, and giving them back to you this holiday season.
P.s. In case any humans were wondering, Jon's line with the 180 over the rail is my favorite line ever.

The 12 Days of Clogmas: Day 2 (sort of)
On the second day of Christmas,
The Clog gave to me
Two video posts in one day!
We shall journey even further back to a time when I still had a GL 2 and my virginity. As the title indicates, I created this pointless little video for Jesse on a whim. It contains virtually no entertaining moments, so I shall clarify a few things in the next paragraph.
Kevin Calderwood made this video for me...i dont know y
Bone | Myspace Video
At the time I thought I was being very clever by combining found writing on a playground slide with final cut titles to spell out something comical. In retrospect it was just childish. The grey shirt conflict, as it later became known as, makes me chuckle to this very day. My reaction to Jesse wearing my only grey t-shirt is one of complete betrayal and disgust. It makes me wonder why I do not posses such a shirt now. For those one you looking to buy me a Christmas gift, I will gladly accept medium blank grey t-shirts by either Hanes or Fruit of the Loom. Come on, I know you're already wondering through Macy's as you read this, so why not pick up a four pack of shirts? Chances are they'll be way cheaper than whatever the hell you're going to buy for who
gives a shit.
The particular crew in attendance during the grey shirt conflict is also something to marvel at. It consisted of a very young Wayne Mills, Jesse Rose, Andy Aced, and if you look closely, a Ryan Eicholtz. What brought us all together that day will always be a mystery to me, but what remains important is the almighty grey shirt of destiny.

The 12 Days of Clogmas
On the first day of Christmas,
The Clog gave to me
A teaser for a video that never came to be.
In honor of the season, I am dedicating the next twelve days to showering Clog patrons with an assortment of enticing gifts and goodies. I am aware that I am starting a day late, but rest assured I came up with this idea yesterday. I am just going to have to post twice today to make up the difference.
Journey back to a time when Carson and I had just begun skating with each other and no one rode for any sort of sponsor. Everyone was young innocent and bursting at the seems with motivation. Jason Strubing was in the early stages of orchestrating another Skateworks video but needed someone to film and edit it, seeing as how Kyle had hit the big time. Naturally Carson and I jumped at the opportunity. However, nothing ever fully materialized and most of our and editing skills footage went to Kyle's mutant side project, Turd Life. This trailer is the only evidence of the long lost Skateworks video.

Wine and Cocoa Puffs
It is my firm belief that the morning is most crucial point of the day. If I awake in a state of absolute stokeditude I could care less about what the rest of the day brings. Greeting the day with a feeling of purpose and motivation is infinitely unfuckwitable.
If the morning has such great potential for greatness, then there must be equal chance for horrible failure. I usually view the posting of youtube videos as a sign of blog laziness, but when the blues strike early in the morn, nothing quite fits like this video. The Cold Water says it all. Apparently cereal wine and guitar can cure the cold water blues.
Here is a photograph of two individuals existing on opposite ends of the morning mood spectrum. Which one woke up with the cold water?
