Ever have one of those days?
You head to Dunas
Scotty's not there
but you're desperate for a new setup so you buy new trucks and wheels anyways. You get a 20% discount, walk towards the door and just as you reach it, the manager walks in and says "HEY YOU. You got undercharged." So you gotta turn around and go back to the stinkin till and then you gotta pay 16 more stinkin bucks because the guy just HAS to be a dinkhole. So, you walk out the door, sad, because you're 16$ poorer (and when you work at McDonalds thats a lot of money) and you go to the Thorvs building thinking "Oh well, i can skate my woes away"
You get there. remove your old trucks with a broken tool. Put on your new trucks. Pry the bearings out of your old wheels. And right when you get to the last wheel, you realize "Hey. There isn't a last wheel."
You only got 3.
So you look all over the university trying to find it. Which is pointless because you never opened the bag to begin with. And after not finding it, you sulk your way back to dunas hoping to find it there.
You get there. Explain you're missing a wheel. They look all over the shop. Heck. They even check the video camera to see if 4 wheels were put in. And yup. 4 wheels were put in. So you gotta pay another 7.99 for a yellow ghettochild wheel. Oh hey. Your debit card is maxed out. So you sit there blushing as the very nice lady at the till pays for your wheel out of sympathy. And then you got 3 white blanks and 1 yellow ghettochild wheel. The manager tries to be nice and greases up your bearings for you. Even though you HATE greased bearings.
You go to the Thorvs again, Ollie a 3 set. Ollie a 4 set. Then when you ollie the 2...YOUR TAIL SNAPS OFF YOUR DECK.
So you gotta replace the deck your nice buddy from Grande Prairie handed you, and go back to the nice old thrashed deck your nice buddy from Calgary gave you that has been glued back together approx 3 times. At least.
Then you go to the park. And you fall like 20 times because your damn bearings are over greased.
Yup
I love those days.

Wow. I just realized that the task of going through my whole photo album is the most tedious thing ever. Methinks its time to take new pics.

But if i stepped on my board right now, I would rocket down the road at mach 5 because its so damn windy out.

And then I would ram into a building so hard, it would explode

And I would get charged for terrorism

I hate saskatchewan weather.

Apologies if I have been a cocky little bitch lately. I got raped by my board and now i'm pregnant.

(take that seriously and I'll slap you)

NOTE: If you greet me with "Hey, you're hot" ....I WILL NOT ANSWER.

Now that that's all cleared up....
Call me wack, but I think the Grande Prairie Stage is one of my new favorite spots to skate. Not that there was anything too special there, other than australian hippies and cool music to skate to on some odd day...now that I think of it, there's nothing special about it that any other flatground spot wouldn't have. It was just a good spot . I learned lots of sh*t...met some people. And now i'm back here and it feels like everything I learned at the stage is just LOST. Herumph. The glories of life....
On the plus side,i ran into Cody in Eddy town and we had a killer ride back to saskatoon in an overflow greyhound. And i have a massive, dark opaque purple bruise on my upper arm to prove it...as well as some brilliantly photoshopped pictures that i officially declare as my masterpieces. And there's more coming.
