The Mustache has out grown The Man!

My “not a real job cause I work in the mall” lanyard!

This is my cool lanyard from work. People always seem to dig it. I have either been given, or found all of these buttons. I paid a dollar for the little gold heart with the red spider web.

I got this sweet button from a mustache fan!

This is my newest addition to my lanyard. It was also given to me from a fan of the mustache! I was super stoked to say the least.

Why don’t I have a job that is a job?

Job : n. work for pay; the type of work one does; a task or duty; something worked on or at

Why don’t I have a job that is a job? I ask myself this question all the time. In my life I have had a lot of different jobs or at least I thought that they were jobs. I am told from time to time that my job is lesser then those of other people.

I have worked at grocery stores, at shoe stores, in malls, at skate parks, building decks, painting fences, and I have always worked hard. I have done my best to provide for my family and myself. I always take a lot of pride in what I do no matter how big or small the task.

I never wanted to be an astronaut or doctor or dentist or  accountant. It might sound super gay but I just always wanted to be happy. Wow that is cheesy but the truth. I have never been that into cash or awesome things mostly just shoes and skateboards which are pretty cheap.

Now you might be asking yourself what the heck am I talking about?? I have a job. I work at a store at the mall that sells guys and gals clothing. I have a cool staff, I generally have a good time, I don’t work too hard or get paid too little. I actually enjoy my job at the mall. What I don’t understand is where people get off telling me that ain’t a decent job? Is it cause I work in the mall? Is it cause I don’t have a degree? Is it cause I don’t make 60 k a year? Is it cause I don’t wear a suit or a tie? I sell ties!

This is my freak out. I am so sick of being looked at funny just cause I work in the MALL! Seriously I have a car, an apartment, satellite cable, a skateboard, VHS Clue Game, tons of Nerf Guns, and a ton of sweet tattoos. I have a rad little family with 3 happy little girls who somehow get everything they want even when I don’t want them to have it. For God’s sake I have 7 bowling bags, and 8 bowling balls! I only have 2 hands! I am like a millionaire if bowling balls were money.

In the end I put my 40ish hours, I pay my taxes and my rent! Hell I have health insurance and 401k! I just don’t get it. I wish that I could get the same respect that I give. I don’t care if you cut grass, tattoo, dig ditches, strip, wait tables, run a major corporation, or work at the mall in the food court ( which is the lowest of all mall jobs). If you live your life and are happy with it then you are blessed.

So I just want to say give the guys and gals in the mall a break we have REAL jobs! We work hard, we clock in and out, and we sell you the fun stuff you enjoy! The world needs ditch diggers and mall employees you couldn’t live without us.

My God have mercy on your soul!

A new mustache pic!

I want to make a come back or just come back.

So I have lost my mind. I have suddenly become a crazy non-skateboarding hermit that lives in a 2 bedroom cave! Maybe I can blame the satellite cable, or my 4 girls who crave attention, my bowling obsession, or the nerf guns. Socially I have just been unable to have a regular life. I want nothing more then to see my friends and get down on some kickflips but it never seems to happen. So I am making a come back. Or at least I am training for a come back.

I have decided to start doing a lot of at home work outs that can improve my skating. I also got a sweet outfit to make my work outs seem more serious.

Stretching is a very important part. I do not want to get injured just warming up. I got to stretch out those 31 year old limbs!

Strength can also be very important I want to improve my over all pop and control.

Sure I mean I look at my lack of skating has a direct link to my current hermit like living style. The only reason I have had to leave my house for the last 17 years has been to skate or work. And work is not a social environment they pay me to be social.

I hate carpet skating but if that is all you got then you got to do it. I got to get out of my living room. I actually saw a lot of my old buddies recently on the 4th. It was cool, it was funny, it was how it should be when you hang out with friends.

So to all the people out there who thought I died, or quit skating, or went crazy. You only got one out of three. And to all my friends out there lets go skate some time! Just call me until I answer the phone! E-mail me, Text me, Facebook me, Twitter me, Myspace me, or drive by my house! I got motivation Index Video I have to sneak in a trick, Shane actually has mentioned Mediocre 2 to me twice, Juma has me on some grip tape, and I love skateboarding.

I love Bowling and Thrift Stores!

So my new obsession in my life is Bowling. This obsession kind of came out of my other obsession Thrift Stores! All my bowling gear that you will see in this photo I got at Thrift Stores I think total I probably spent around 40 bucks! If you like bowling you should get out and hit up the Thrift Stores you can score some sweet gear!

Timecrimes : The Best Movie I have seen in my life!

Okay so I have Netflix and I fing love it. Netflix is the best thing I have ever been a part of (besides Sam and Mediocre and Skateboarding). It has allowed me to experience a broad range of films that I would have normally skipped over. Timecrimes is a movie that I would have skipped over for sure. This is a foreign film from Spain and the Spaniards got themselves one sweet film. I really don’t want to get into too much detail about the film since it is such a intense film that pushes you to look deeper into and see what is really going down. It also forces you to like its sort of plain and sometimes frustrating characters. This movie has all the twists and turns and flips you can handle. I would call it Science Fiction/Horror. It has time traveling, death, murder, love, and some stabbing (maybe a boob or two).

I hope that if you read this you take the time to check this film out. I am serious when I say you will like it and it will make you think. I watch a ton of movies and this one is so much better then average. Please pick it up!  You will not be disappointed.

Art Wall of Doom.

The Art Wall of Doom grows bigger with every random piece of sweet art we can get our hands on. What’s your favorite piece??

Kansas Knee Tattoo!

11 months, 3 Sessions, 3 trips to Kansas, 2178 miles, Ski Ball Loss, 33 hours in a car, 1 speeding ticket (181 dollars), Maybe 3 hours under the machine, and it all lead to 1 sweet Knee Tattoo! I finally got my knee tattoo finish on Thursday in Wichita, Kansas at Red Sea Tattoo by the one and only Matt Headley! I made this trip with Adam which always helps to have a friend ride along. We spent roughly 24 hours in Kansas hanging with Matt and Emily. We ate Barbeque, Indian Food, hung out at the Value Center, found Jesus again, and got tattooed. Knee tattoos are brutal and I was stoked to finally finish it. No matter how bad it hurts its always cool to get tattooed with friends.

It has not finished healing but I wanted to post a blog about it cause well I think it is freaking sweet!

Scary!

I will take some better pics when it is all healed! Thanks Matt!

Nerf Arsenal!

Okay all I am saying is do you have as many Nerf Guns as me?? I think not! Who wants to come over and battle it out. Trust me it is fun, and also a healthy way to burn some calories! If you ever see a sweet Nerf gun pick it up and come over. I have also scored a lot of sweet guns at the Thrift stores. Nude Dart Wars 2 coming soon!
