New Year's Eve

I wonder if there was a guy in charge of keeping the date back in the day and he messed up. What if New Years Day wasn't tomorrow? What if it was like 56 days ago and that date tracker guy messed up big time? Who knows? Anyways if today is the last day before 2008 ends, it was a good year. I've learned a whole lot about myself. I think I've mellowed out ever since I got to Falmouth. I rarely get angry now which is awesome. Another plus, is that I'm less stubborn which is a huge achievement for me since out of everybody I know, I'm the most stubborn. I've also learned to try to help people out as much as I can. My goal in life: Be a good person and have fun doing whatever I do.

Today I went to Helston Skatepark for the first time. I'm totally amazed that I've never seen it because every time we go to Porthleven to check out the waves we stop by Liddels which is a super cheap store in the UK. The skatepark is pretty huge and it's right next to the store. Anyways there was a halfpipe, two fun boxes, a rail, a box, two roll ins, a few tranny type stuff etc etc. I just pretty much focused on getting air in the halfpipe so when it comes to riding waves, I can do my aerials. The "trick" I figured out today was a rock to fakie. For some reason it freaked me out. For the trick you go down one side come back up the opposite ramp and have your board go over the coping and then go back down backwards. I could go up and get into the trick but I had trouble staying on and going back down backwards. My friends were leaving soon so I had to do it soon. Eventually I stuck it going both ways, rock to fakie and fakie to regular. Fakie means going backwards pretty much. So anyways I'm glad I did that before the "new" year came.

I'm pretty content with my life right now. I'm extremely blessed with the amazing opportunity to study something I love in a foreign country. I have good people around me. When I say good people, that includes my family and friends from back home too. Everything is cool and I hope it stays that way for years to come and maybe, for the rest of my life. I just have to find the right girl and I'm set.

I hope everybody has a wicked time tonight. Not just tonight but for the rest of your lives.

Peace and Love dudes!
