How Much Would Your Dad Shit...

if you came home with this on your arm? What would he do first...shit or kill you?



Found on the Interweb.

I'm already "that guy" on here, so fuck it

I'm not an angry person...really. I just have an extremely low tolerance for stupid fucking bullshit. Is it just me, or is anyone else fed up with the longboard scene? Campell's movies have really caught on in the mainstream surf eye and while that's cool and everything, its also made it pretty damn stagnant. The great lenghts top log dudes are going through to achieve that "non-confomist" hipster, basquiat esque, art, punk, ect image becomes problematic when looks are based on ripping other people off, or simply being living breathing contradictions that frustrates us jealous types who don't get paid to surf.

EX. 1 can be seen in this image display of very unique products and logo. Keep in mind when i say unique I really mean total fucking rip off. We've got Anti-hero skateboards, and The Cramps getting straight jacked here. I don't even know what to say about that fin, except HOLY SHIT SOMEBODY CALL THE MOZ, cause you know he ain't backing that shit.

Next off is what could quite possibly be the stupidest fucking thing i've ever seen in print. Some magazine had this to say about one of the best longboarders in so cal -- But for now he's not going corprate, "Too many people turn cultures into markets" he says--

Keep in mind this guy gets paid to surf real well, but also gets paid to be the token hipster art guy of a surfbrand whose target demographics span all the way from Jock Gnar Bro UFC guys, to the mainstream alternative crowd, thus turning that "art culture" into a market to increase capital for that surfbrand.

As a 1 time US Open longboard winner, and friend of surf and destroy's once said, "It's not even fucking about how you surf anymore, it's about the clothes you wear". Word.
Surf, Do your thing, Get exploited by a company, Get paid, and be stoked on it. Everyone else would be.

News From the North: Varg Vikernes denied parole

Taken from: http://www.aftenposten.no/english/local/article2477398.ece

Convicted murderer Varg Vikernes ( of Burzum) is too dangerous to be released into society, according to justice officials. Government critics fear that his background as an ideologically motivated church-burning arsonist, and his connections with neo-Nazi groups, are making it impossible for him to get a fair parole hearing.

Vikernes is serving a 21-year sentence, the maximum that Norwegian law allows, for murder ( of Mayhem lead guitarist Øystein Aarseth aka Euronymous) and setting fire to three churches in 1993. Having spent the last 15 years behind bars and after serving two thirds of his prison time, he has become eligible to apply for parole.

Case workers at the Justice Ministry fear that Vikernes will be unable to adjust to life on the outside after his years in jail. They have turned down his application.

"I can't understand it. They want me to make arrangements with social services, even though this is unnecessary. Must I be on welfare in order to be released? I have a house, a job and a family waiting for me," Vikernes told daily newspaper VG.

The authorities emphasize that Vikernes escaped from prison in 2003 and that he has ties to neo-Nazi groups.

"I haven't been in contact with them for a long time. Police security services know this," Vikernes responded.

Parole authorities refuse to comment on the reasons for rejecting his application, referring to the confidentiality that surrounds such hearings.

"The authorities are worried that they might be considered to be soft on unpopular convicts," says a professor of criminology at the University of Oslo, Kristian Andenæs, when criticizing the verdict.

Who else scored today?

I surfed this fickle little gem for 2 hours by myself on the 5'7" EC Frodo Bat Tail Frankenstein Quad. Lined up lefts for days. Gnar boulders on the inside. Got shacked off my ass fool!

Meet Doubleshakas

He will probably join the fiend club here at svrf & destroy sooner rather than later.

Yeah...that's a pentagram.

The early Christians commonly utilized the pentagram as a symbol of the 5 wounds of Christ. It was thought to protect against witches and demons.

The pentagram was quickly shunned by Christians once Satanists began to flip the star upside down with the two points pointed upward and circle it. The three points facing downward have been thought to represent rejection of the holy trinity. It is usually seen with the image of a goat head inside the upside down star. The goat represents free thinking and rejection of the sheep mentality.

At least that's what Wikipedia says...I guess, be like the goat and figure it out for yourself.

New Link

I added my brother and his friend Mikey's Pod Cast to our fine selection of links. It is called the Dullcast.

Check it out, it is pretty much a half hour's worth of them shooting the shit about jobs, tunes, movies, rants, eating at Chili's, eating burgs, walking around, and a ton of other random shit. They have special guests on the show, so you never know who just might chime in on any given day.

I know they drew their inspiration from the Smodcast featuring Kevin Smith, whom you may know as "Silent Bob" from Jay and Silent Bob, and his longtime friend and producer, Scott Mosier.

Destroy and Enjoy.

A brutal moment from a brutal cartoon!!!!!!!!!

stupid fucking hippy's

If you've been anywhere in the south bay/Venice beach area you have probably noticed those obnoxious little trees hanging from telephone lines. Sometimes there cardboard, other times there water bottles with the little fucking tree stickers on them, sometimes there constructed out of steel. The people behind this litter campaign are Hippy Tree clothing company. For a company that is trying to cash in on the whole Green, Environmentally friendly, socially conscious, whatever the damn gimick that just about every company is now doing and in my opinion is also doing an effective job of trivializing the whole matter, hippy tree has succeeded in making complete hypocrite hippy ass'es of themselves. I'm no Einstein but isn't that thin piece of twine holding the stupid fucking trees up on the power lines subject to the same consequences of weather as anything else? Or does it have magic hippy powers? In other words won't that shit eventually fall down and become just another piece of trash in the street to get kicked in the gutter and flow to our beaches? Somebody please correct me if i got it tweaked somehow, but until then, fuck you hippy tree. fuck you, fuck your super original artistic guerilla marketing campaign, and fuck your smug artistic photos of your litter that i could do in 30 seconds in photoshop.



Who's bitter?

Whoa Bro

Awile back in college in one of my Spanish classes I remember learning about Francisco de Goya. There are some posters laying around at work that made me think of this. Awesome, huh?

Check out how mental this shit is. Saturno Devorando a su Hjio, 1819 That is, "Saturn Devouring His Son," for my non Spanish speaking bros.


















*This post is NSR, Not surf related at all. You want to know why? Because I have not surfed in a freaking week, man! Things will be better tomorrow, weekend shreds. Damn, I hate weekend shreds, 'cause that's when everyone else shreds! Damned again!

El Shito

P-cakes and I used to live where that white explorer is in this photo. 90% of the time this place sucked donkey balls. The other 10% of the time it was really fun. The only reason we ever scored there is because we lived there. El shito is hell. Parking sucks, the wave usually sucks, the barneys suck...it's just super sucky. I had many parking tickets, usually drove around for 20 minutes before finding a spot my truck could fit into, and my car was towed once. $330. :(

Nah, it was alright, I actually liked the place a lot. I was within walking distance of Sharkeez and all of my best friends. ;)

Actually, the gas station across the street, which we referred to as the 'Ass Station,' was usually filled with hot Manhattan Beach chicks filling up their Audi's on the way to work every morning as we were getting ready to shred. That place was like a babe magnet for the south bay.

Shit, I can't even figure out where I am using sarcasm in this post. FTW.

Poetry Reading 6:00pm Thursday

I am reading some of my poems this Thursday at 6pm at the Seal Beach Daily Grind...This is my first one so don't expect anything fantastic... i think i am gonna get drunk and rant for awhile...:)

Dream Car

I saw this bad boy down in Pacific Beach over the weekend. So rad.

Holed up in Santa GNARbra

Not much surf to speak of at all up here in dreary SB. A couple missions to Ventura have found some modestly pleasing slide sesh's. Up-note, only like 3 more weeks of school plus a few summer courses and my academic career will be over. For EVER. To kick start this year off at school in early October I got a lower lip tattoo with a few other assholes that i was drinking with. They all got sports teams. I even payed for my friend Daley to get "sharks" as in the san jose hockey team, because I've never seen someone show such genuine and heart felt devotion to a group of sweaty men. When they win, you'd swear he popped an ex pill, when they lose he drinks like a factory worker during the great depression. Since I can't remember the last time i even played a sport I opted to get "SHAKA" inked on me forever (not really since it's pretty much faded to say H triangle A) Anyways, if you've read this far into my rant (silly you) you might be curious as to how I might go about capping this year at a creatively depressing, uninspiring university. Well, I've completely made up my mind that I'm torching the grass shack at campus point. Why you may ask? Cause FUCK that place, thats why.

fuck cops and park rangers.
today i got a ticket at el dorado skatepark for not wearing safety equipment.
fuck you "officer" sterling, being a park ranger is not a real job you fucking deadbeat.

fuck.

37 Tricks with Jeff Markman

This is Jeff Markman. I met Jeff my senior year when we had English together along with a mutual friend named Drew, and in probably no less than one class with each other became friends and then proceeded through the actions of our collective trio to annoy the total shit out of every other kid in that class as well as trying no matter how shamefully to flirt with the lone babe of the classroom Tanya.(Yep we were those kids) Anyways, Jeff was always a seriously funny dude whether crackin' jokes or tellin' stories about his pet cat Gary, who may like smoking more than he does… Ohh and he shreds too!

Bottled Up Part Deux

All the way back in the early days of this blog, I posted up an article about plastic bottles and the Sigg that I bought...Bottled Up Part 1


A new series on VBS.tv made me want to revisit this issue. The series is called Garbage Island, it has 12 parts and it is about the North Pacific Gyre which is a swirling whirlpool of trash (mostly plastics) that will never fully biodegrade. I first remember hearing about Trash Island in my Marine Biology class in high school, thanks Mr. Duff!

The series is very well put together and informative on the issue at hand.

Anyways, I still have that Sigg water bottle, I use it every day and it has ended my 1 or 2 plastic water bottle per day habit that I had going. So, lets delve into the numbers.

I bought that Sigg last August, about 8 months ago, and I have avoided using 1 or 2 bottles a day. So roughly, 8 months x 30 days x 1.5 bottles = 360 bottles. Yes, I would have recycled them but that still does not negate the fact that the bottles were made out of virgin petroleum, which is a whole other issue.

It is also worth mentioning that I now use reusable hemp grocery bags and a recycled PET lunch bag from Reusuable Bags.

Here is part one of the VBS series, Garbage Island. It's mental.
