PITOFZOMBIES

The prosecution threw the case away Rachel Jeantel became their star witness. That was hard to watch. She was incoherent and downright dim, and should never have been allowed anywhere near the stand. They had a highly regarded forensic specialist state that Zimmerman's wounds were consistent with Trayvon being on top. The photos didn't look like something self-inflicted, but conspiracy theorists will be use anything they can. There were photos of guns in Trayvon's phone (which were nearly kept secret). He had been suspended from school for possessing stolen jewelry. Obviously not the most clean cut of kids. Utter bullshit that they managed to portray him as such an innocent child. I knew a couple hoodrat kids from my apartment in Oakland who were ~15yo and were doing plenty of dirt. Straps and drugs and whatnot. Even now, i'm not sure i'd want to squab with any of them, even one on one. And if one of them got me pinned and was genuinely angry, no doubt i'd use any weapon i had on me. Those youngsters were vicious. Doubt plagues me on both sides of this case, and with that said, if i were on the jury i'd never have been able to say Zimmerman was guilty of second degree murder beyond a reasonable doubt.

that case was decided when this halfwit slob took the stand...

this little nigga bleeds style. And his trick selection is a breath of fresh air for sure. I really hope youngsters take notes and stop doing the same fucking tricks... and maybe loosen up a bit. i've posted clips of him before, but this is new footy.

I've noticed people tend to behave a little more modestly around me when they're drunk. I feel bad... it's unnecessary. They seem to become more aware of their actions and level of inebriation, as if they think i'm judging this. Most of these people have no idea how wild shit used to be for me, and that their nonsense pales in comparison to what i used to get into. They weren't around me then. I am honestly happy to see people having a good time, getting a little tipsy... jealous (in a non-spiteful way) more than anything that i can't get down like that anymore. I've gone down a different road, but i still like being around these people, generally. Inj, did you spend much of your drinking 'career' in bars? i didn't, and going into them never posed much of a problem once i stopped drinking. It was sitting in parks and walking around aimlessly that gave me more of an urge to consume alcohol, as those were things i rarely did without drinking. I started getting sodas instead. It has helped curb the urge. Hope y'all are doing well.

I loathe weddings. I feel you on that shit.

Had potential, but may as well have been two highschool girls. I was hoping for blows to be thrown. That hair pulling shit ruins girl squabs...

Shit man, i still pound whatever fluid i have in my hand. It's especially apparent when i'm having a conversation. It became kind of obvious why i'd end up so wasted at social gatherings. I'm not sure that ever goes away. The important part is to make sure it's not alcohol.

Goodnight Sweet Prince

Sorry if i seemed angry in my post. Writing that shit down is as much for me as anyone. Understanding this shit is key. I think you're all doing honorable shit by even being active in here. Lugr, hope all's well dude... if you're out there.

While i see that you're trying to offer dude some support, the first part is not exactly the best point of view. It's definitely not one i took on when i began my sobriety... Speaking to nobody in particular here: Man up and face that you've let your alcohol consumption get out of hand, and that it will only get worse. It was manageable once, but it isn't anymore. To continue down that path expecting anything other than the shit it already brings you is just naive... downright ignorant. Alcohol is often a crutch for the socially inept. Learn how to deal with all those conversations without it and you'll start feeling pretty good about yourself. Not only because you learn how to communicate, but avoiding those poor decisions is a lot easier. Learn how to stand in that crowded bar without that cup full of courage. or come to the realization that those crowded bars might not be worth spending much time in to begin with. We've all got demons, and we've all got the potential to conquer them. Alcohol is a cheap shortcut that often worsens those demons in the long run. You get what you earn.

i can say that i have never intentionally listened to a single song by Kanye. He doesn't think he's the shit, he's just playing the part. Celebrities are no longer anywhere near relative on any realistic level. Sounds like an obvious statement, but i don't think it's simply jadedness setting in. They are a different breed nowadays, but i suppose so is most of the generation that looks up to them or finds them entertaining. meh.

Oh, rad, we have a thread that is popping off with a bunch of people arguing (like the good ol' days) back and forth about some dumb shit.... Let's close it, because someone got mod status and hasn't gotten to flex yet. This place is on its last leg. When people stopped coming here for graffiti, they should have been damn lenient on the only other active part of the forum. But nah, they continue to stifle it their petty egos. OH BUT RAVEN DOES SO MUCH TO KEEP THIS PLACE AFLOAT, WE HAVE TO DO OUR JOB. spare me, it's a goddamn internet forum, you fucking nerds. one of millions. and because there are some geeky ass squares who get their kicks being overbearing, it's on its way out. I don't really give a fuck at the end of the day. Nonsense and Alcoholism threads are my only checkpoints when i do decide take a break from real life.

Watson beat me to it...

I enjoyed The Words... i really don't want to like Bradley Cooper, but i have enjoyed more or less every movie he's been in. *have not seen hangover sequels.

If the boys wanna fight you better let em' " 'em " would be the proper punctuation, the apostrophe holding the place of the "th" in this case. Could be fixed by turning it into a quotation on both ends... Just saying... I have no real business in this thread, but do enjoy browsing it from time to time. Been stoked on Aron Dubois' art in the past. Never noticed it in this thread. Maybe i'm way out of line posting it in here... i don't have too much of an eye for this shit. As much as anything, i'm a fan of surrealism. Not sure if everyone agrees that is belongs in tattoo form, but whatever.

I already did. Dude's rad. Would have probably been okay if he had just stuck with his tall tags, but i'm not hating on that old motherfucker.

HELLO

Portland shit...

that's a decent pile of money right there... glad that situation isn't in my potential cards anymore.

Sharing shop space with Ascari Bicycles. I've kinda fallen off the bike tip since skateboarding took over, but seeing these guys' work kinda makes it hard not to be hyped. They make a good chunk of the components in-house, too... not just frames. Both Gary and Helio are rad, solid people, too. I know some of you guys are PNWers, so maybe you're familiar. for those of you who aren't: anyway, just thought i'd share that. i will wander back to my usual threads now.

i miss hawaii for sure. this isn't helping. where you at Dow?

i guess you could look at the fact that you didn't get wasted throughout your injury downtime as a good sign... haha. I would have sat on my ass getting wasted every day if i had been in your shoes and not on the sober tip. either way, do what works for you. good luck.

Yeah Sleaze! That little situation sounds gnarly. Sucks having substances still manage to almost fuck your shit up even when you're doing your part to stay away from them. I've dealt with some of this. I'm super hyped to have been a catalyst in the skateboard/job deal. Telling myself to get up and go fucking skate has gotten my through some otherwise shitty moments. Hope you're still at it. Sorry i haven't really hollered recently. Just busy and forgetting to respond at times, but i'm by no means ignoring anything from you. Congrats to the new year marker... whoever that may be. Hope you're all doing well.
