1. Who’s on the seventh floor, brewing alternatives?

There are few TV personalities I like. And one of the few is Conan O’Brien. Also there are few TV personalities I hate more thanChristine Brennen. And one of them is Jay Leno. You see Brennan is just an naive. She knows nothing of what she speaks (save for the Ice Capades). Leno on the other hand has made millions upon millions putting people to sleep with bigotry and tired jokes. And he’s an egotist of the worse kind. He had his run of late night and copped David Letterman’s style for too long. Then when NBC told him it was time to go, he whined his way into a 9pm show. Then as NBC fell into the toilet Jay Leno was right there to take a shit on it, climb a top the mound and proclaim himself Hey-sues. Meanwhile everyone else was like, “No dude, you’re just shitty.”

Now NBC wants to push Conan around. Fuck That. And for now it seems like The Irish is sticking up for himself. I hope it works. We need more Conan.

2. What’s in the bottom drawer, waiting for things to give?

Since I’ve been getting down on this snowboardering scene one thing has remained constant: Todd Richards. Well that and Burton Bindings. The thing is for a long time I was opposed to TR, mostly because there was no place close to me selling Morrow decks, but also because this dude was on TV. He was the fucking sell-out. He was on the X-lames talking about the importance of a shradder being a pizza delivery boy (a job i would later take to try getting more in touch with my peoples).  I thought “What a schmuck!” But here’s the thing, TR had something figured out, he saw where snowboarding was going, and goddammit he was going do what he could to keep it legit. Everyone else was making money ,dragging snowboarding into the mainstream, and they didn’t give a fuck who spoke about it. Shit. If it wasn’t for Todd we’d probably have Christine Brennan calling Roast Beets and Frontside Indies in the half-pike.

I don’t even think I caught up with TR’s level until four or five years ago. It just seemed to click. The dude is 100% amazing and a credit to our game, plus he’s funny. Need more proof? Look at his interview with Method Mag:

3. Conquering myself until I see another hurdle approaching.

I would listen to this:

4. Say we can, say we will. Not just another drop in the ocean.

This dude lived twenty minutes in the future. I have to imagine that is something like being enlightened. But homeboy had it all wrong about computer graphix.
