sonic youth rules! i hope when im old i still like to get dirty and make noise and hav a freakin good time.

santiago

hey yall,
im in santiago right now getting prepared to see sonic youth at a chilean soccer dome tomorrow night. last night we saw lee ranaldo live soundtrack a crazy documentary about a prison in valparaiso, the location for this show? in said prison.. it was wild. something i nor anybody else that was there will ever see or hear again. howz that fer special.....
its super hot here in santiago and we went to an awesome skatepark today but i cant skate so it was kinda like torture, but still it was cool.
ok
see you all very soon
bye

the way i feel

seww

we were gonna go down south to pucon to see the volcano, lakes, hotsprings, etc, but we cant get a bus for 2 days and the bus leaves at 930 at night and gets there at 930 in the morning and we already have tickets to sonic youth in santiago on sunday so i guess well probably just end up going to santiago for a couple days. on friday lee ranaldo from sonic youth is doing a live soundtracking for some documentary on a jail in valparaiso, sounds weird, probably will be weird, ill let you know. yknow those dreams you have when youre getting sick, like fever delusions? i hate those.

everyday is sunday

i suck

ugh

yesterday i rolled my ankle. the fun machine definitely just died.

valparaiso is a really purdy place. kinda. yesterday i ran into this guy from seattle that i met in buenos aires. he skates, and hehad a friend named carlos who does designs for a chilean skateboard company called stranger. super cool people. we went and skated a bunch of stuff today it was all good. anybody up for going to orcas island and camping for a couple days? is orcas in washington or oregon? i think that next week me and frederik are going to try to see the lakes district in chile, should be interesting.
chow bras!

news

so im coming home in a few weeks. im looking forward to being back. im going to continue writing in this blog until may 25th the actual time i was supposed to return because i think some noteworthy things will happen, happy, sad, interesting... life and its mysterious cycle will happen. viva la vida.

sup life and times of stinky mr grimes

see the peak that looks like a parrot head? we slept on that thing

the dg´s

so i had all these delusions of grandeur that i was going to try to take the pan american highway from valparaiso to the states but theres some crazy drug war going on in mexico apparently and i dont have enough money to pull it off, also i was maybe considering coming home early next month, but then again the price of a one way ticket home is more expensive than the two way ticket i bought already so the realization that ive come to is that im here im here to stay until may 25th and im going to have to live even more frugal than i have been. i dont think with logic sometimes or probably most of the time and i thought it was a better idea to fly home than to just spend the money here, its all the same in the end... that doesnt make much sense so i will go back to brazil in the beginning of april and try to move north for sunnier warmer weather and hopefully i will have enough to make it home from new york in may.
signing off
im a big dummy

official start of cat of the week

this is my friend, we took this picture and then later we found ourselves at a wedding party for these people and this was their cat. needless to say we freakin chilled with him so hard!!!!

HI

hi, i live in valparaiso now. i rented an apartment room for a scandalously cheap price. its in the same building as my swedish friend. its on the top of a hill. the landlords name is duck, hes silly. were goin to see sonic youth in santiago at the end of the month and ill be here til the 5th of april and then i think i might try to take the panamerican highway through central america all the way home. my friend and i are making a skate video based on the movie step brothers. get excited for that.
love you all
miss my dads and momz and real dads and moms too
ciao

oh man

i ate the worst sea food everrrrrrrr yesterday, it was like clam spectacular, and dude wouldnt take no for an answer he was like "youre gonna get the clam spectacular and im gonna give you white wine at 12 in the afternoon for free whether you want something else or not" best part of the meal was this cat staring at me with his tongue hanging out the whole time.

valpo

so its pretty awesome here in valparaiso , hate to say it but its pretty similar to san francisco but its like the mission everywhere. its been sunny and there are so many things to skate. the food is good, lots of seafood. i ate a crepe with chicken corn garlic and some sauce last night it was called a panqueque it was good. and another thing was french fries covered in eggs cheese and meat, yea no big deal. ive met up with my friend fredrik from sweden and im thinkin about stayin here for a month maybe, learning some spanish, kickin it on the beach, i think the waters pretty cold though. who knows? maybe ill end up taking the pan american highway back home, wonder how long that would take.
aight love you all
