Sheena Is A Punk Rocker

I woke up early today - like everyday it start's with me seeing Charlotte leave for work and I pretty much have the whole entire day to bum around and have the time to think and dream odd and unrealistic things for the rest of that day.

From around 11 o'clock this morning I sat in front of my computer screen as I do nearly every waking minute and watched VBS.tv. VBS is fuckin' sick. It's everything I like, news, culture, sport and music. But it was the nostalgic mood I was in that I found myself watching profiles on various skateboarders that I admired and looked up to in my misled youth. Like many others, I had a phase where skateboarding WAS my life - and in many respects still influences who I am.

It's the profiles on various members of the fuckin' ridiculously rad crew the Piss Drunx that I went and watched first. Starting off with the Australian psychotic loon that is Dustin Dollin. The bloke is 24/7 fuck you, punk rock. He drinks every breathing moment. Then onto the ex heroine addict that is the Johnny Thunders worshiping bad ass Jimmy Greco. Jim Greco, along with Boulala was one of (if the) first people to do the punk look in skating, with his fucked up straggly hair and tight haggard jeans. He looks like he was taken out of the early 70's New York glam rock/punk scene and dropped into the late 20th early 21st century.

Looking at my clock I see it was around 2 hours since I started watching these Epicly Later'd profiles of skaters such as Chris Haslam and Jerry Hsu. Followed after by two of the god fathers of fucked up wasters that are Andrew Reynolds and Erik Ellington.

The point of this long piece of arse liking drival is the world these guys live in. They get their clothes for free... they travel the world... for free and they live in these rad fuck off MTV Cribs style houses in the Hollywood hills. Do these guys get paid a shit load? but from where?!?! They own various clothing and apparal companies, have their fingers in many pies and they must be earning a bit if what is seen in these videos are true.

So follow your dream and do what ever the fuck you really want to.
