Kracked

Dino Jr.
this is from Aug 2006 when me and Whitey drove up to Lancaster to see them. The next night, all their equipment got stolen in NY. This was the second to last show that they played with this equipment, including J's old Jazzmasters. Fucking sucks!

My pirate name is:


Iron Sam Kidd



A pirate's life isn't easy; it takes a tough person. That's okay with you, though, since you a tough person. Even though you're not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr!

Speechless

Holy fuck, this makes me embarrassed to be a skateboarder! Sheckler said before, "I don't know how i'm making skateboarding look bad." Well dude, this is it right here, the nail in the coffin. It's crazy, somebody ACTUALLY topped Andy McDonald in the "I'm gonna make skateboarding look as cheesy as I can" category



i mean, i'll throw some water and some hand soap on my face if i'm not completely wasted before i go to sleep because i don't know one person who actually wants to look like THIS... but he's taking it to another level.

The hatred towards him is getting pretty intense. They're now making websites dedicated to hating on him

Going camping in NJ Pine Barrens soon... maybe we'll see this guy

The Jersey Devil


The Jersey Devil, sometimes called the Leeds Devil, is a legendary creature or cryptid said to inhabit the Pine Barrens in southern New Jersey. The creature is often described as a flying biped with hooves, but there are many variations.

Many different descriptions have been offered by alleged witnesses of the creature, which are as follows:

* "It was three feet high... long black hair over its entire body, arms and hands like a monkey, face like a dog, split hooves [...] and a tail a foot long". — George Snyder, Moorestown, NJ. Sighted on January 20, 1909.[4]
* "In general appearance it resembled a giraffe... It has a long neck and from what glimpse I got of its head its features are hideous. It has wings of a fairly good size and of course in the darkness looked black. Its legs are long and somewhat slender and were held in just such a position as a swan's when it is flying...It looked to be about four feet high". — Lewis Boeger, Haddon Heights, NJ. Sighted on January 21, 1909.[4]

While the descriptions vary, several aspects remain fairly constant, such as the devil's long neck, wings and hooves. The creature is often said to have a horselike head and tail. Its reputed height varies from about three feet to more than seven feet. Many sightings report the creature to have glowing red eyes that can paralyze a man, and that it utters a high, humanlike scream.


An important piece of the Jersey Devil legend concerns its supposed home at the Blue Hole located near Winslow, New Jersey. According to popular folklore, the blue hole is not only bottomless but also acts as one of the many gateways to Hell. The water in the hole is abnormally cold, even during the summer months, averaging only 58 degrees Fahrenheit year-round.[3] In addition, the hole is said to have a whirlpool effect on any person who enters it. Unlike many of the surrounding rivers and lakes in the region, the blue hole possesses crystal clear water, which serves as another one of its many eccentric features. In the 1920s, geologists put forth various explanations for the hole. One theory suggested that the hole is a crater from a prehistoric meteorite while another theory proposed that the hole is a sprung or glacier carved spring, misidentified as a pingo in the magazine Weird N.J.

Puke

I'm not really into too many newer bands. All that eye liner and dyed black hair that's either pushed to the side or spiked up into some bullshit pretty much makes me want to vomit while punching myself in the face and sticking the end of a hanger in my ear... but i think there's some out there that are keeping rock alive during a time when 95% of stuff out there is pure shit. Along with Witch, The Sword and some other bands, The Black Keys are a "bluesy" rock band that reassure me that music isn't turning into one big pile of horse shit





And i just got introduced to this band, Boris, from Japan
