Wait a minute, I'm fucking 39?

September 11th, 1970. That's the day the incredible Ford Pinto was introduced. I don't remember it because that's also the day I was born. I must've been a mess. All purple and slimey and shit. Yuck. That's a long ass time ago, man....14,238 days ago to be exact. I still have my hair, most of my real teeth, and only 1 of my joints is artificial. I'm 39 years old and I can honestly say, I'm immature as fuck. I have no idea what I want to be in life. No idea how I got where I am. No idea what my career will be. No idea what I'm going to next week, let alone have a 5-year plan. I just cruize along with a simple plan. I just want to be happy. Happy to me is surfing or shreddin once a day, every day. Each day I go without either, I get a little bit agro. I can add a little biking and gym work to get through the tough times. But when all sports are taken away I freak out. Like right now. I'm still gimpy with an open wound staph infection on top of a lingering sinus infection. 39 is starting off a little rough. But fall is here, so my mind will be in a better place soon. Leaves are changing. Storms are coming. Here's a vid to stoke the fire....

  1. At least you're not immature enough to call that vid a straight up bite, and mandchildish enough to actually be angry about it! ...like I am. ...that's such a freaking snowboardey/euro move ARRRGGGHHH!!!

  2. Happy Birthday! Ford Pinto, huh? I do remember those. Horrible cars. But 1970 was a damn good year for people.

    As for the stupid infection, I say it's time to start attacking it with garlic and other foods that help the body's immune system.
