This song is today that I was at Sunnyside Beach & hearing on about
these wrongs in life to the world that it's so different than what you
remembered last. I saw this girl modeling on the train tracks the
photogrophers didn't look perfessional..They looked fat, while the girl
looked either young or really skinny...nonetheless she was
skinny..& about my beliefs..so just comment on this this is my
proto-type song.. & yea.*07-06-07



Laying upon the beach..The people I'll never reach
To my heart it lays so still, it's not in love,it's not sickness,
It's the fear I have now..I know what's clear these recent months.

I am a few who believe love is real, & truth exist(rarely)
Gentlemen are so rare nowadays, (so many don't care..)
this world's a giant coffin for those whose hearts have soften (& broken)
& Girls have yet to step up from defiled & complaining.(as well as the smiles)
..it's so ordaining, it's entirely absurd.


this girl whom I have observed so much,
It's obscene, but I can't look away.. Her heart has changed oh so.
the smile is misplaced to a point the sunset's not worth it
but my dear, let's look forward..
& make it clear that you can change my feelings.

I am a few who believe love is real, & truth exist(rarely)
Gentlemen are so rare nowadays, (so many don't care..)
this world's a giant coffin for those whose hearts have soften (& broken)
& Girls have yet to step up from defiled & complaining.(as well as the smiles)
..it's so ordaining, it's entirely absurd.



Though girl, your gonna make me cry. The fact that you change everything,
you make me want to see your smile, just for awhile.
You proved to every girl, that some are just wrong..(& girls can still be oh so beautiful.)
& I'll try, oh so hard to be that "charmer" & write this song.
& prove that there are still gentlemen in this world
& I have yet to change for the worse.
..You'll make my heart sing so loud, for sure.
Please listen to this song, I need you more than ever
Because your still what keeps believing the worlds not gone dead.

My Blog: Player Profile.
By: Tr3v0


The touch of death
acidic grace
an entity  beyond control
Always lurking
giving chase
as loves embrace now takes it's toll
The pain will cling
like mental tar
concious thought is now erased
The warmth of light
has slipped so far
darkness falls, a bitter taste
We bear the grown
of bloodied lace
a nature which cannot be pure
No tear can touch
a flawless face
a lack of feeling shall insure
the dawning of
a darker day
Death will soon be on its way.

   Hey this is brock right now my life sucks. The wrong turns i made in life turn my back on my friends leaving people who i care about behind that should really care about. The wrong turns i went through in my life is getting in fights with some of my friends and cant go outside because of afraid of getting jumped or people will say stuff that will hurt my feelings. And my life is falling to peaces because of my heart problems no girls want me because i dont get out side that much but i met this girl online she said when shes done school that we move together. Be each other when me or her is hurt or have something together. I will treat her with respect and not say things will hurt her because i dont wanna be like that. I waas like that to my friends in my life. Some people say whats life for we live then die. Thats when i come in and tell life not for living and dying you get to have kids and watch them grow and grow. You get to see how beautful they look when they are small when you wrap your arms around them and you touch their skin and its smooth and u dont wanna never let go of her or him. They'll be there for you no matters what happens. When you need to cry they'll be there. If you need help when you are help They'll all be there. I know im not a adult right now im only 16teen but soon 17teen im figure out how my life will go step by step filling in the peaces well i go along in time. Having thoughts of what i wanna do in my years as i grow. Write down my problems think of what job i want, laughing and playing with the friends i have now barely worrying about anybody jump me. If anyone wants to to my love from me you cant but only share it with me. So i'll show you how my life is going right now. Im just waiting for that one girl to be with me. Do things with our kids just watching to see if they grow up like us. See how well they did better than us in school and see what they'll pick for their path in life. Then after their done high school you dont want them to leave i know we cry to see them go but they are finding their family to make. Then we'll see their kids grow and our kids grow up to be happy just like us. When you love someone you'll do the crazy thing that you cant explain. You'll tell the truth and all the happy feelings that you could never tell anyone. Then one day you'll see your girl has somethings in life that she really needs to tell you and you'll be there for anything even if you have to miss something in important thats sacrifice. You will see how much you love them and never want to let them go. you'll want them allways in your arms forever reasons. But i have been through some of this when there was times my friends were saying that they didn't want to be my buddy because some reasons i wasn't there for them. When i first moved to Kingston Ontario i thought i had losted all my friends but like a month or two in i might some of the best friends i every had. And some went in there own path but the true friends stick together but thats what i think i dont know about you. I'm that kind of guy thats healthy and like to have fun, hanging with friends and meeting knew people.

Page 2
   Today i am going talk about pain the things in go through in life. Like today i got rushed in amulbance because i had troubles breathing. It's just because i have heart problems that we're trying to fix. They say it because of stress. Just thinking about about things will make me worry and i have so much things on my mind that im trying to get rid of. And now im going to start talking about pain. There are things in life that you you want to say but it wont come out and you dont wanna say it because you think they'll laugh or make fun of you. But just forget them and tell it from the heart. If people laugh its just because they are having problems and they cant say what they wanted to say but you beat them and now their laughing at you. All u have to say that you can tell it and not hide it from others. So when someone laughs at you know that they are just hiding their thoughts. Now what about your mom or dad is in the hospital and you want to be there for them every step but you cant you get kicked out. Jus t dont give up that easy you wait and wait to see if their ok. While you watch them go through the pain their in buy something for them like flowers everyone likes them. Just wait outside of the room if you cant go in you will be with them even if they think your not. Now when one of your family members died and let go of their sprits dont forget they'll be in your dreams and thoughts. Dont go drinking that one drink that you take you'll just want more and more until one day you lose your life in that one drink you took at the beggining. Then you will look back and see it again and again you want more but they are trying to get to you and say dont go through what i had done or the path they took to get we're they are this day and forever. Now just imagine you going down that path they took and you dont care about anyone one know more. Now just think about all the people you are hurting in your life your family your friends that helped you when you didn't have nobody there just think and now think about the drinks and now hows it is messing up your life just think and think of what they would say to you in those last words before they go and their gone. Here you are crying how you drinked some of the peaces that you wanted to keep in your heart. Now you are feeling bad you know what you can listening to of what they of said and turn your life around like your free. You have rights don't forget that you can do anything but don't drink since you know what that feeling feels like. I want this to get out there and let people know before they drink before it erases those memorys. You can write me anytime you feel like so don't feel bad what you have to tell there's no worry's i wont talk no one i promise. I just want to be that one guy who helps you out. Just tell me how your life is going or if you just want to skip the begining and tell me whats wrong thats ok and its fine by me. So just write me anytime ok see ya later.

Page 3
   Am going to talk about love. First thing love is something that two people feel about each toher its like butterflys in both of your stomach. People will never love you if our trying to be someone else you have to be you for always. So why do people say they dont love you maybe they dont feel the love from you. Just ask them if they feel it. You dont have to be shy just tell him or her they'll understand. You have to believe me on that i have been through all that in my life so far. I didn't tell one of my best friends and she didn't think i was telling the truth and i wans't but now i can never lie to a girl now but show them the shape of my heart. They'll have to feel it from their soul. Once they do if they believe you then you'll know that the girl is waiting for you to see if you will stay with her. I been with girls through my life for like 3 years and 2 years trying to see if they just want to be together forever. But some of them cheated on me or dumped me im not shy for telling you all of this. Im trying to help people get together so they'll when it happens to them. I want them just to feel what is to be love and be caring each other be there for each other no matter what happens. If their hurt bad stay there dont go just incase they past you want to hear that couple last words they say before they are off into the air. You'll be lonely but they'll always be there with you. In your thoughs and your feelings. You wish you could have anthor girl just like her you can have anyone if you get out there and try your best for her. If you know its the girl you want to love geet her flowers any girl will like that. THen ask her if she wants to grab something to eat. Then work from there until that one day you get her you'll be happy and your feeling those butterflys in your stomach and you know its the right one. Then you can have kids if you want and your ready. I love the girls that want to be with me and share thoughts and feelings because i know i will find that girl thats just hanging on until i find her. Thats when i care for her and how good she looks everyday. When her hair smells like through the wind thats when you want grab her and will you marrie me and she will most likely say yes. Both of you will a happy ending together and dont for get that moment when you got down on your knees and you had that feeling in your head i'll be with you no matters what happens to both of you. Will see you guys and girls.

Page 4
    Have anyone of you everythink you didn't belong in a group where you just didn't want to work with the people around you. Just give it a try and you will maybe make more friends that will care for you be there most of those path you make. Some people make fun of your music but your music is helping you get through things in life that people cant help you with. But you'll that day or night when you need someone with you because your afraid that you'll not make it through the night without that person or friends. Friends are there for anything you need even when you have tears in your eyes when those tears just about to drop someone you love will come and wipe them off your face you'll not have to cry anymore you need to tell them whats wrong or whats going on thats making you cry. I been through that before when my girlfriend cry I ask her what was wrong and she told me because she loved me and i didn't want her to hurt in anyway it just makes me sad. I know when a girl cry they want to share something with you but they are afraid to tell you because they might think you will take the wrong question the wrong way. So when your girl is hurt just not joking saying that you promise. Say it from your heart i know you dont want to but if you dont make that choice your going to hurt and it will stay with you forever. First you have to sit them down and im not trying to be mean but tell them you love them and they have to trust you even when she is hurt you have to tell her to tell you because its not going to go away if you just sit there and do nothing. Ask her whats wrong,is there anything i can do for you,is it me or did i do something i hurt about your feelings. Just give her a chance to talk to who every she wans't if she doesn't tell you. I know everything about this because i been through this to just take steps after steps. I hope this helps you in your life. Thanks for listening to me if you do have any questions hit my site and i'll answer to all ok thanks again.

My Blog: numb
By: EMO_crackhead


I loved you
You were all that I wanted
Then, I watched you
Turn into someone else

Well I'm sick of the fighting
I'm sick of just blaming myself

Well I'm sick of escaping
I'm sick of erasing

Your face and the places
That give me a trace to you

But I will never find you

I can't hold on
I'm feeling numb
From everything you do
And put me through
When I was part of you

I'm feeling numb
From holding on
To everything that you
Had put me through
When I was part of you

Well if I can deceive you
Then why can't I leave you alone

Well if everything's painful
Then why do I wait for

Your face or the place
That will give me a trace to you

But I will never find you

I can't hold on
I'm feeling numb
From everything you do
And put me through
When I was part of you

I'm feeling numb
From holding on
To everything that you
Had put me through
When I was part of you

But I will never find you

I can't hold on
I'm feeling numb
From everything you do
And put me through
When I was part of you

I'm feeling numb
From holding on
To everything that you
Had put me through
When I was part of you

My.. blog.: x
By: B3autiFulMistaK3


Bloody Hell Mates!
..iuno.


I can see where you are
I can tell you're enjoying it so far;
I would love to escape, but now I'm bound.
..By the of burn of your eyes.
Looking on as I'm starting to realize..
I'm a pawn in your game and this is checkmate.
As the roses lift their heads to catch a glimpse of my demise,
You'll be throwing lies around like ocean waves throw down the tides.
And they are breaking on my shore,
And the rescue team won't save me now; I'm out too far.
So I'll waste these nights for a while..
But I'll be holding onto you forever.
And this is where my heart is cold and torn,
As I read the words you wrote last night..
The butterflies are creeping through my spine.
It's a thrill I can't shake..
Yeah I know we've been writing a mistake,
But it's hard to erase the feelings I've drawn.
I was caught in an awkward silence..
Broken down by the sound of your prelude that you played,
To open our symphony.
I've been sleeping with the sunrise, watching hours pass away,
Incidentally I'm just waiting for the dusk to kill the day.
But now I'm waiting for your call,
While I bang on this piano like you care at all..
So I'll waste these nights for a while,
But I'll be holding on to you, forever.
And this is where my heart is cold, and torn..
As I hear the words you're saying tonight,
I'm falling for them every single time.
As the roses dip their heads a little further to the ground..
There's a season change and all the pinks and whites have turned to brown.
Will we make it through the fall, yeah, are we gonna make it through this fall?
‘Cause I don't wanna fall with you.
I'm trying, we're dying, yeah.
I'm taken by your hope-filled lines,
They're well designed and dragging me along..
I'll be waiting for this chance and I'll be gone.

Abyss of the Oracle: Mayakovsky's Russia, now!
By: Broderick


_-------this is turning to out to be such an interesting school break. I went to the library today. Yeah, I actually went down to the head branch of the library and checked out nine books. Yes, I know. 9 books. How can I be expected to read them all?! I won't read them all, just little bits here and there. It's hard to believe; another year has passed us by....boy, did it ever go fast! Not only that but here come those dreadful mid-terms everyone has been going on about. Oh the terror! But hey, there are so many other things which are worse than any mid-term I'd be glad to take them, even so. 

Gogol. Yes Gogol. His writing is alright, but I think he is too much of a parody, and gets more credit than he is worth. Solzhenitsyn and Dostoevsky did it first; he copied them, the little rascal. I think I will return Gogol early, but maybe I will read some first, to see if my initial reactions are indeed correct. However, I find Mayakovsky to be absolutely fantastic. He is a poet, mind you, so he is out of their class altogether, but like Dostoevsky because they both served in exile. However, Mayakovsky is much more outspoked, provocative and simple. Yes his writing style is simple but highly charged. I don't know why I find his writing to be sooooo good but it just seems that way to me. Perhaps it is because of his outlook on life in general, and what he brought out of the chaos, as he called it, inside his head. Goodness knows he could have stayed in school and been a civil servant. That would have been such a total waste. What he gave to Futurism and many other isms is quite remarkable. I'm not sure that he should be called a poet, though that is the title which he called himself. I think that an "intellectually inclined poetical revolutionary" would be more just to his talents. 

I think that communism and leftism has been radically misjudged. Not only is it assumed that Stalin's protege is the ultimate in a goverment of that type, but that every that could possibly be done could only be worse, not better than his prototype. It seems this stance was taken because of all the "hard feelings"over the Cold War in general. However, it appears to the naked eye that Putin is attempting to return to the "old system" by iniating laws and rules from that era, and removing improvements inserted by the likes of glasnost and perestroika. It is sad, really, to watch such a great country, which has the great chance to turn itself around, go to waste in such a hurry. Putin has corrupted the system thus far, and there is no doubt he will continue to do so in such an archaic manner, much to my charign. Leastly, it is not as though a single opinion could ever make a difference to what will happen with his government. A group of dedicated individuals could do it, but a single person such as myself? I highly doubt it! Why should a patriarch pay any attention to the lowly serf who plows his land and grows his food? What right does he have to speak out? According to the patriarch, none at all. This is the vile view upon which Putin thinks of the lower classes of mother Russia. Not only will he return to the old system, but he will drive it into the ground, like an axe does a wedge.

HAROLD HUNTER DAY, SATURDAY OCTOBER 7TH  - JAM AND VIDEO PREMIER
 
To the Fans!
 
This event spawned from a New Era Hat that was designed for Harold by Harold & his design friends before he passed.  The Hat is part of New Era’s 59/Fifty program where all proceeds will be donated to a charity. The hat is retailing for an estimated $200 with a ltd. Amount of 288 made. The charity has yet to be chosen, but will either be “stoked mentoring” or the “Harold Hunter Foundation” which is still in the stages of getting legally set up. Either way the hat is dope and it’s an amazing personalized piece to commemorate and celebrate with good intentions to give back to the scene.
 
As Harold wanted to kick off the launch of this unique and limited personalized gem with a session and party to follow, we are going to do just that. There are 2 events, “Skate for “H” Jam & “Legends Never Die” video premier.

With Year 3 of ZooYork’s Am Getting Paid coming to a close, we are very proud to look back on such a special event with so many great skateboarders. Adding the extra day to the event helped make the contest run smooth and welcomed more amateurs to battle it out for the $15,000 U.S. total prize.
 
  
Friday was a very important night for the Underworld skate team, where they had their world premiere for Yesterday’s Future, a video that they have been working on for the last few years. The place was packed, the drinks were full and the skating was next level. For more info and to view the teaser go to www.yesterdaysfuturevideo.com 
 

Saturday was day 2 of the contest and displayed some of the best skateboarding all weekend. Magnus Hanson and Nick Merlino were having fun all day and were destroying all obstacles at South Parc. Jordan Hoffart and Keegan Sauder were some of the smoothest and most powerful skateboarders at the contest. Lastly, Chazz Ortiz blew the crowd away with his impressive skills, consistency, and courage… did we mention he is only 12 years old!
 


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Saturday night was the Am’s getting laid party and the Wu Tang’s legendary member Raekwon was headlining. With over 300 people trying to get in to this sold out private party the energy was at an all time high. People chanted the choruses while chef Raekwon ripped the lyrics.
 


Sunday was the final day of the event and it was time to seperate the men from the boys. Micky Papa was leading throughout the whole semi finals with tricks such as kickflip backside smiths and switch treflips down the stairs. But when the finals came around it was Ryan Decenzo hailing from Vancouver, Canada that took first place position and the hefty cheque home. He had flawless runs all weekend, mixing techness with smoothness on a consistent basis run after run. Taking 2nd and 3rd place respectively were local Antoine Asselin, and Detroit’s Dustin Blauvelt. It would be impossible to name other notables over the weekend since the skating was at such a high level.

Proceeding the contest, Solo Mobile held the best trick on four obstacles. Nick Merlino and Dustin Blauvelt were the only hitting the big rail. With a bunch of skateboarders all busting out and getting paid it was Manny Santiago who took home the most money with a huge bag of tricks. Am Getting Paid is an international amateur skateboard event held every year and its mission is to continue to support and promote young amateur skateboarders to the rest of the world. We would like to thank all the skateboarders, sponsors, and parents. For more info and to check out the teaser for this weekends festivities please visit www.amgettingpaid.com, the full length DVD will release in January.

For immediate release

August 15th, 2006 The "Zoo York’s Am Getting Paid" skateboard contest is proud to announce the Chef Raekwon from New York's legendary WU TANG CLAN has just been confirmed as the main act for the infamous "Am Getting Laid" after party.  "The Wu Tang clan has such a strong attachment in the skateboard world and countless tracks are featured in so many skateboard videos” explains contest promoter, Alex Bastide.

"Never appearing in Montreal, it was a no brainer for this legendary MC to play our after-party. Also recently added to the Saturday night lineup, Montreal's up and coming mash-up DJ's,Team Canada.

  Born in Staten Island, NY, and raised in the park hill projects, Raekwon is presently one of the most popular Wu-Tang Clan members in the game. Raekwon may not have achieved the solo stardom of his fellow Wu-Tang Clan mates Method Man or Ol' Dirty Bastard, but along with Genius/GZA and frequent partner Ghostface Killah, he's done some of the most inventive, critically acclaimed work outside the confines of the group. Also nicknamed the Chef (because he's "cookin' up some marvelous sh*t to get your mouth watering"), Raekwon joined the Staten Island, NY-based Wu-Tang collective in the early '90s and played an important role on their groundbreaking late-1993 debut album, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers).

  Following his 1994 debut single, "Heaven and Hell," his own solo debut, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, appeared in 1995; while it didn't sell on the level of Method Man's Tical, singles like "Ice Cream" and "Criminology" earned him a strong reputation in the hip-hop underground. Moreover, the album received near-unanimous critical praise for its evocative, image-rich storytelling and cinematic Mafia obsession.

The " Zoo York’s Am Getting Paid" is an international skateboard contest in its 3rd year running.  Held on September 22nd through the 24th, this years total purse is at a whopping $15,000 USD.  This years contest is scheduled to be the biggest Eastern amateur contest to date with over 200 riders participating from around the world.

The " Zoo York’s Am Getting Laid" after-party is on Saturday, September 23rd, doors open at 10pm.

This will be a weekend not to miss!

 

The tickets are available at: Underworld, Off the Hook, Universe, Empire, South Parc, Juste pour Rire, Clubzone.com and Admission

$25 in advance
