No Shoes Or Shirts Required

Alright, so here's the deal. My friend Kyle Schmidt and his partner Mike McLin just kicked off their new website. It's a Wake only instructional website that gives members access to videos, text, pictures, bulletins, chat rooms and other instructional tools to help riders learn as quickly as possibly. These are same guys who put out "The Book Instructional" DVD's a year or two back. They have been on the scene for minute now and really know their stuff. They are very passionate about what they do and comes through in the quality of work they produce. If you're at all interested wakeboarding this is not only a good place to start but an excellent reference point to help hone your skills no matter the level. Checkout the site while it's still free. You got until April 1st before they activate the monthly premium. There is nothing out there on the web that's anywhere close to this site. Enjoy!

Everyone Who's Not Dancing Is A Rapist!

Maskinen is the new party phonomenon in Sweden who everyone's talking about. To the Swedes, they are totally provocative (the chorus translates to "everyone who's not dancing is a rapist"). Seriously, this is my summer party anthem! Get down with the get down!

Oh, by the way "The Summer Of Russell" party series is official. First jump off is May 31st. at the Matador downtown Orlando. I know it's kinda far off and your short term memory isn't that good (puff, puff, pass and all). There will be reminders in the future. Just clear your calenders now. Fo' real, sun.

Speaking of Rap....

So here's the map showing all the area codes used by Ludacris in his song "Area Codes".

Teriyaki Boyz - Zock On!

I wasn't sure about this video at first. Mostly because of the BAPE connection. It's not like I'm against Nigo or anything but it's more to do with the origins of the company and what it has become. But when you got a Neptune's beat, Busta Rhymes doing a verse, Pharrell dropping the hook in Japanese, and the Teriyaki Boyz with this sort of "Janpaglish" (I think I just made up a new word) rap... well all that and the conversation at the bar last night. It's time put aside my personal feelings about BAPE and put up the video. Good music is good music.

Stuff Asian People Like

I guess since I posted the link to Stuff White People Like, I suppose it was only natural that the creators covers the rest of the key races. So I present to you Stuff Asian People Like. My favorites include #32 'Speaking Loudly' & #29 'Slurping', haha.

What, I have to read it?!

I never got into gaming so I don't really relate. I have been pissed enough to swing on some electronics, though (car stereo, quit teasing me and just die already. I'm over this work for 20 minutes and then decide you want a 10 minute break and then maybe, just maybe you'll work for a bit longer shit. Edit. Note, All things Brighthouse.). Either way it makes me wanna go outside and enjoy life without the ever glow of the computer screen. Turn down the volume 'cause he's a screamer. And besides, it got subtitles.

Oh Beta... Theyre like a skateshop, but more expensive!
