the continuity

prior to entering college, i was having a hard time with the school's housing. they first told me my roommate's name was milton. then i got concerned. from my experience with miltons, ahem, i was hesitant, of course. then it so happened that this milton was supposed to be roommates with 8 other students. and so i got shafted out of my to-be fantastical remake of office space.

housing, 2 days before school started, told me my roommate's name was zach. after some quick facebook stalking, i found that this man was actually a full-fledged man. that is, he is a senior. now, there's really only one reason a senior would dorm with a freshman: it's because he's a loser. like, really. why would anyone want to dorm with clueless, insecure freshmen. freshmen suck. also, his default picture on facebook showed him in front of some chinese monument. great. one of those "world traveler" bullshit types. so, i was not too stoked, to say the least.

for some reason, he didn't come to the dorms until a week or so after school started. during this anticipatory time, i casually referred to him as my "missing bitch." yes. i referred to him as my bitch. zach, if you're reading this, well, if you ever confront me, i'll deny it all. 

finally, i met this man, and, to say the least, i now really respect him. he is fun to be around and he's quite ridiculously smart. he has some questionable antics. like walks on tightropes. and doesn't shave. but i digress.

zach is exceptionally talented at longboarding. and so, me being the filmmaker and all, i decided to make an artistic skate video. it turned out swell after 2 days of shooting (1 day where i was completely soaked) and about of a week's worth of free time editing. i then threw it onto youtube.

this man named adam colton, who happens to be one of the leading figures in longboarding, contacted me. he wanted to use it for the loaded longboarding newsletter. of course i said yes. what you see before you is the first skate video of many to come. congratulations. you are a winner.
