Hit by a motorcycle.

Today i got hit. By a motorcycle.
I was bombing (cruisin) with my longboard down the hill from where i live to the trainstation. I was in the buslane where there is no traffic and had pretty high speed. Then a bus came up and i was going to turn for it so i turned into the other lane. What i didnt saw was that a motorcycle came (also in high speed) towards me, last thing i remember whas that he honked the horn and then BANG. He hit me right from behind so i actually sat on the front of the motorcycle for some meters before we both fell down on the ground. He hit me right on the backpack which i had my computer in so it got pretty bad damaged. Lucky i had the backpack though, or i would have pretty bad backinjuries. Although now some hours after the crash it starts to feel kinda bad in my upperright in my back and my heel is kinda bad too, hard to walk on. Anyway i am pretty ok, a bit shooken and some easy injuries that hopefully will get better.

I was sad so after work i head to the applestore and bought me a new iPod. Wanted one for long though and they released a new one yesterday so i bought one today. Also got my wacom at work so thats kinda stoked. And a new guy is starting at work on monday so thats fun. Here is a picture of my workplace, if you guys wanted to see...
Nighty.

Smile.

Sometimes you just need to put some eyes on a chair. Sometimes you might just hate every pixel on your computer because the program you use just die. Sometimes you need to make a ugly illustration of a moose mixed with a unicorn and call it Unimoose and suddenly it becomes a unisex homosexual moose instead. Sometimes you just need to quit writing the same thing over and over and actually go to sleep. My new co-worker Charlie the Chair that came in today as a Junior Directos says hi. And he smiles.

Monday, again.

Cant really say i have been up to much today. Overslept and came 20 minutes late to work though, not good... Anyway we had our morningmeeting and set the goals for this week. Then i got what i should do today. Work in Flash.
Well, it went well, supereasy work that just had to be done. Kinda like, copy from illustrator, make it into a movieclip, name the clip to something good and then make i ready for AS3 code. Basiv stuff really it just took time. Then i acted tech support and called up support for a scanner. I hated that guy that answered, he though my knowledgelevel on computers were 2 out of 10 and bassicly told me where i should find the "w" when i was gonna type in a webadress... Also went to the gym today, pretty nice. Heard it starting to see some result and thats always un to hear. Time to sleep now, nighty.

Good Morning.

I just love to wake up to this! The panoramawindow in my room just shows a blue sky and alot of nice buildings. Then skate down to work with my cruiseboard for about 10 minutes and then the day starts, today has been so hot so ive sweated just sitting in the chair at the office. Got some more stuff done for Tracy Chapman, other then that nothing else happened. Payed the first rent today aswell, that sucked... Tomorrow is going to be a nice day at work, i can feel it! Yeah, also made some random graphics today while i was watching some series. Kinda fun to do something outside work. To be alittle creative on your own. Dont think this is so creative though, probably seen this like 1000 times before, i kinda like it though. Night.

Hippies.

Today felt like a really productive day. First of all its labour day here today so i was free from work, pretty nice with a 3-day weekend. Woke up at like 10am with the sun shining in my eye. Then went down to Embarcadero center to buy some stuff ive been looking for the whole week, then we were suppose to go to American Appearel so we took the train to the heights. Love that place, its like walking into the 60's. Hippies and smokeshops everywhere, vintagestores, nice artexhibitions and all that. Im tired now so thats about it, love it though, gonna go there some more to just chill. Then got home, ate some, gymed some, ran some, washed some of my dirty clothes, took a a shower, watched a episode of generation kill and now sleep. Tomorrow is a new day as we se to say here...

Hella sick.

So this whole weekend has been pretty nice. First on friday me and Emelie went to this really random party at the guy that sold us the sofas. Only like fashiondesign students though but it was nice, fun meeting some new people beside Emelie and the guys at work. Anyway it was fun, we ended up eating at this gnarly hamburgerbar called jack in a box, fries were good though but it looked hella ghetto, haha. Anyways on saturday morning i woke up kinda late, the event (bust or bail) started at 12 so i had to be there like 11:45 to not miss so much and get a good place to shoot from. I woke up at 11 so i just had some breakfast, woke emelie up and we took a cab there just because it was so off. At this big ass stair located at some elementary school right in some spanish area. We got there and it was tons of people. The Pros were throwing themself down the stair and everyone screamed when someone did something. It was like a streetcompetition with hard cash as pricemoney. You would also get money if you landed some special trick that the judges decided and it was like from 500 to 3000 bucks, thats pretty much money for just one trick down a big stair. So people were really killing it. Reynolds f/s fliped it on hes like 10th try and Sheckler were doing all sick stuff down it. Even if you hate him, you gotta admit hes one fucking good skater. For a video of the whole event, klick here.

After that we got home and just took a shower, then it was of to next party. At Emelies boss house. Like a BBQ party! That shit was so far away, took us like 2 hours to actually find the place. Out in the suburbs really. So he got this really nice house and the best thing, he had a miniramp. Was ages ago i skated miniramp so i was so stoked as hell when i did my f/s slashs! Anyway, the night went outa hand and we had gin, some beer, some salad, nachos and chicken. Then we started to shoot on cans and glasses, it was like dirty south. Texas style! Well thats about it. Tomorrow is labourday so ima go to the beach probably. Heres a bunch of pictures from the event, super quick edited.
