Skatepark Wildlife!

Wallet for scaling purposes only

As usual, was skating at the Lake Forest Skatepark the other night. Boy are there some total douchebags that work there. This one new dude used to be a marine and he's a total raw jock, yellin' at kids and shit, skating around with no pads and completely ignoring the weak-ass "no photos or filming" rule, even though us etnies employees try to show up and do our job and get some coverage for the park at demos and contests, but get denied. The dude will likely be shitcanned soon if he keeps it up. Rad.

Whatever though, that's not the point of this. My main purpose was to highlight the large moths, that come dive-bombing into the park while I am trying to skate. Running over one of these things is like hitting a speedbump or a rock. Not to mention the fact that afterwards there is roadkill in your way. Blood and guts and wings and shit. And if they aren't totally crushed, then you feel all bad 'cuz they are on the ground floppin' around all helpless and dying. It sucks. Usually, if one is on the ground and stll alive, you see kids trying to shovel them out of the park with the nose of their boards. Anyway, that's all. Pretty pointless, huh? But isn't that what "blogging" is? What can I say, I like nature. Especially when it makes an appearance at my local skatepark. My initial goal in life, when I started college, was to be a forest ranger. Somehow, that didn't work out so now I'm hating on skatepark employees and writing about fuckin' moths. Wonderful.

    that park is built on top of the gateway to hell or something. remember that one day we were there and then all of the sudden there is this colorfull streak across the sky, kind of like a sunset way after the sun went down, and then all those crickets and moths were falling from the sky. it sounded like it was hailing. you could hear them spiking the ground. and when i say crickets, i really mean mutant grasshoppers. like 5 inch jobs. they land in the bowl and then cant get out. its really like some biblical shit. i think if they keep babysitting and pad checking the ground is going to open up and suck it all down to hell. good job bringing around the apocolypse. the signs are evident.

    Lake Forest is mentioned in the bible at least 3 times.
