Lofty details, lofty goals..

Last week I linked to this RAD photo my buddy Tom took of me this past Sunday. I was waiting for the rest of them from the day before making more of a mention. As in have I mentioned how stoked I am that my fat aging ass can still loft a MONSTER ollie on flat ground?!!


Check out that clearance- AWESOME! You should also know that the board had a decent crack in it as well..

Another angle:


Tom was saying how this photo mid revert reminded him of this drawing by Robert Longo and posted it yesterday:


..which is pretty awesome!

I also did some handstands on some tall sketchy shit I originally thought would be good to gap ollie..


As for goals in the coming months.. I plan to put out some sort of shirts along with a couple of other things I have in mind. Small run type shit of course since in all likelihood no one would be interested, heh. Just things I'd like to see out there so we'll see how it goes. I also want to start filming more with my 5DmkII since the video looks REDONK and I found out about this awesome 3rd party firmware update. I've been wanting to put together some sort of bike short amongst other films. I've finally run out of the smelly green stuff so with any luck my initiative will kick back into high gear so I can FINALLY get some shit done..

In time for the BFF perhaps?? We'll see..

Oh and BTW, this chick's super hott and fuuuucking RIPPED bod has been screwing with my concentration ever since I saw it.

SQUEEZE MY FACE BETWEEN YOUR LEEEGGGGZZZZ!!!

UPDATE: Yeah, gee, a big thanks to Ben for RUINING IT FOR ME!!!

sick shots. I like riding with my board strapped to my backpack so when I find a spot I can shred it on both. best of both worlds.

sick skating pix! I vowed myself to get back in my skating shape this summer. I'm older too, so I have half the balls i used to and it takes me a week to recover from a fall.

The handstand shot is awesome.

sometimes, the things i find make it painfully clear: "they just want our bods," which, unfortunately, drains all the fun for me (a girl). but, consider us (women, or me) the fool for allowing the small inkling that there is an exception to that rule that exists out there. tsk tsk, for being naive.

Anonymous - Here's the deal: The truth of the matter is that you're actually being the naive one here. Do you honestly think that my, or any other male's off handed remark of a woman such as the one in that photo is really so telling as to be judgmental of an entire gender? You have to admit that really is a bit much seeing as how we all have our fantasies. Esp considering that women are SO MUCH MORE judgmental and COMPLETELY VILE when it comes to the exact same behavior with their comments about men AND other women. Don't even argue with me on that cause I KNOW FOR A FACT that it's true. However, I don't judge women for that sort of shit since WE ALL do it. It's called procreation! The only difference between us and the lower species and us is that we argue and BS about it a lot more. The other thing you need to keep in mind is that when I write things of that nature USING ALL HUGE CAPS it usually means I'm just making a joke, being sarcastic and or disgusting. Which the last time I checked, I'm allowed to do since it's my blog. I'm a dude, I can't help it and I'm not going to apologize for it. It's bad enough I feel the need to sit here and explain myself. Having said that, if honestly didn't think about it a lot and make it a general point to be an exception to the rule you speak of, I wouldn't have even bothered to publish or respond to an 'anonymous' comment such as yours. While I admit I've made my mistakes in the past and learned quite a bit from them, I've since then made it a point to try and change every woman's mind (that I've been lucky enough to spend any time with) about men and treat them with the dignity and honesty they deserve. But guess what- You know what I've gotten for my efforts in nearly every circumstance? ZERO FUCKING RESPECT. I'm not even fucking around. The nicer and sweeter you are to women, the shittier they treat you. I've noticed this 'quality' in quite a few women I've dated and it's really fucking lame. I've found that finding a happy medium between two people regardless of gender/relationship is difficult at best and even if you do, it rarely lasts as long as you'd like and no amount of effort can change that. Knowing my experience about women or being treated poorly by them doesn't make me deem their entire gender as intolerable or make me lose hope that there really is a bunch of really great women out there either. It just takes time, patience and luck, in either gender's case. It also helps to really get to know someone first. You know, like me for instance.. SO DON'T BE HATIN' BITCHEEEZZZ!!! ;-)

As a lady, if I was to pull my shorts down/my shirt up/let some dawgs take photos of me doing so, I would totally expect some other reaction from folks besides commenting on my body. I totally would.

cwmd, actually, i was calling myself the naive one. as in, shame on me. and thank you, for these things keep me grounded, my head away from the clouds. what saddens me is the excuse 'i'm a dude, i can't help myself, fuck it...' -- which, ironically, would put you one with the majority (i.e. the ruling). hey, just saying! guess i wanted to stir things up a bit, other than my initial disappointment making me overreact. i'm a chick, i couldn't help it, i overreacted (note: sarcasm). :P

agent, that's but one way of seeing the picture.

Alan Sikirić said...

Anonymous - If you all you could possibly take away from my response was misquoting me by saying: " 'i'm a dude, i can't help myself, fuck it...' " and following that up with even more nonsensical talk, all I can say is that I WOULD SO NEVER DATE YOU!!!

Anonymous, what are the OTHER WAYS OF SEEING THINGS!? SO MANY RIDDLES IN THIS THREAD.

Thomas Prior said...

Alright..enough already....lets get back to talking about how totally awesome my photos are..

Alan Sikirić said...

Oh no worries mate! Comments are now closed to any and all wise ass chunky art school girls with BS chips on their shoulders with too much time on their hands that could be better well spent by playing keyboards, making photographs of leaves and or vaginas with Macro lenses, screen printing pro gay t-shirts and running daddy on a guilt trip to get more of what they want but don't need like make up when what they really need is a lifetime gym membership, scale and full length mirror..

Unknown said...

Are you doing the screen printing yourself? I'm totally up for a collaboration/ghetto sweet project.
Seeing as you like black maybe a discharge print on a black shirt. Discharge as a three part ink is crazy spensive and i got a shit load.

Alan Sikirić said...

I have yet to learn how to do screen printing myself so yes, I'm going to have to get someone to either help me out or do it for me. Contact me when you get a chance and let me know what your deal is. Thanks!
