Last night was good. 
Tonight I'm thinking skateboarding... but we'll have to wait and see.

I've been much happier lately.
Things have gotten better in all ways since I decided I needed to make things better.
It's odd how things work.

that, my dear, is fantastic!
No skating yet. Still a little out of the loop... but I'm getting better daily.
I have some friends coming in town tonight, so I might have to let the weekday sobriety thing go for a day or two.
Where is downingolsen I expected to hear from him by now. I guess I have to wait till Friday.

Well, I hope you feel better soon.
And hey, if you can't skate, a little booze action might be just the thing.

what's Jupes?
It feels strange that its been an entire week since I skated. I guess that's what getting hurt does to you.
Tomorrow sunburns at sunsplash... hopefully.
Definitely some skateboarding tomorrow night.
Maybe a T Town trip on Thursday.
Then drinks with downingolsenthis weekend.
It should be rad.

oooh, lucky! sunsplash sounds like fun.
supergp:
Wow! You sounded pretty hurt, so kudos for being up to getting back on the board again so fast.
I guess all I needed was a weekend alone to get shit sorted out. It has been a little dull here and there but the house is spotless and I feel alot better.
I think I know why too.

Good man...
I've been quite inactive on here for a while now.
I just read a bit of your latest entries.
I am so FUCKIN' PROUD of you!
You are trying to accomplish what few wish they had the character to attempt.
I know it's been a load of challenges for you lately,
(and it seems a few concussions as well!)
keep strong, focused, and positive.
I'm trying to curtail my own liquor craze these days.
I look to your example and energy to help me thru as well.
If you would ever wish to chat, I'll be honored to forward my cell#!
I hope to see you soon
Cheers and good luck

I can't believe how bad this concusion sucks.
In 14 years I've broken bones, torn tendons, slipped a vertebrea, bruised hips, rolled ankles, destroyed my shins, split my lip a few times, lost a tooth, dislocated my shoulders, destroyed a knee, smashed my face, and shredded my elbows... but this tops it all.
I can't believe the worst fall of my life was a backside...

You need to be afraid of the long term effects of the concusion (s).
I feel like I getting alzeimers sometimes.
Bring on the alzeimers...

A 6 pack might help...might as well get a 12 though.

That was a nice run while it lasted. In all honesty I don't think I'll have much of a problem slowing down now that I know I can do it.
I got the job yesterday, so that's one less thing to worry about. Good money, good benefits, potential for growth.
...but I also think I may have gotten a concusion when I fell the other...

Concussions suck, I have multiple.
Sometimes I can't even think of the right words to use.
Could be the drinking though or both.

Another day with no hangover. Except that I never really got them anyway...
Hung out with doolittle for a while today. It was nice to get out of the house.
Then back to the Pecos park. Getting better at the tail stalls, tail stall grabs, fakie rocks, and almost getting rocks to fakie.
I almost had the perfect backside 50-50, then bam... worst slam of...

Going into day four.
I went bowling tonight and avoided drinking $1 beers, I don't know what that says... but I owe it to the people I love who think I'm a horrible alchoholic to show them I still have control.
This is just more lonely than anything else. I just stay up all night and think. And I don't want to think about it...

one day at a time....
Two days without drinking in a row. That shouldn't be an accomplishement, but with the way my life has been lately I realize I was spending way too much time at the bar.
Confused as ever; well not really confused, pathetic.
But I've been skating almost everyday and painting almost everynight and I've been staying out of trouble.
I feel like I'm doing nothing with...

you're not worthless. I do, however, know how you feel about that. I have not written a single thing worth reading since the day I was handed my diploma, and because of that, I feel like a fuck-up.

skating and painting > bar.
And I'm gonna say that I'm pretty sure I've met a few people who don't think you're worthless. Call me nuts.

Getting back on the wagon isn't going to be as hard as I thought. I just need to fins something new to do at night.
Skateboarding is helping.

My bender is over...
And it ended like all good benders do, after a night of...
-playing baseball with a shovel and christmas lights
-punching girls kill bill style
-hitting golf balls at the neighboring businesses
-arm wrestling on a cable spool
-eating a vegan breakfast well after the sun came up
-updating SG
-telling her I love her one last time
-going to bed...
