hold on.. is this "funny.."? actually.. i dont know if i should laugh, or giggle confusely.. but truth be told- the Obama sh!t is going overbaord.. getting attention, and getting money are two different things.. only broke muthafukkers like attention.. chuuch!!

*as seen on the cover of this Saturdays Florida Times Union Professional skateboarder Clyde Singleton also works as a magazine columnist, video producer, contest emcee, spokesman and outspoken blogger - under his alter ego, Piff Huxtable. photography by Jon M. Fletcher/Florida Times Union
by Matt Soergel Clyde Singleton says that when he was young he did a lot of stupid stuff, and that doesn’t even count the time he cut his Afro into a flattop and dyed it blond.
He imitates his earlier self, adopting a high squeaky voice: “Run a car over my foot! See if it hurts!”
For the record, running a car over his foot didn’t hurt that much. But then Singleton has a reckless streak and a high tolerance for pain. That helps if you’re going to become a professional skateboarder, as he did when he left the Northside for California at age 17.
That helps if you’re going to be part of what would become MTV’s “Jackass” crew, pulling off stunts of questionable safety and taste.
And that helps if you’re going to run your mouth off making fun of the skateboard industry, making fun of some of its biggest stars, and making fun of yourself.
In the insular, image-conscious world of skateboarding, Singleton is something of a celebrity lightning rod - a magazine columnist, a blogger, a video producer, a contest emcee, a satirist, a spokesman, a personality, all brash and provocative.
So, in deliberately misspelled and slang-heavy articles, he writes about things such as “The Top 10 Worst Tricks in Skateboarding.” “Ten Ways to Ruin Your Skateboard Career.” “Ten Things You’ll Find in White People’s Houses” (cheese is one).
And if you’re, say, a male skateboarder who wears tight jeans - or even women’s jeans, as some stars have been known to do - then prepare to be needled mercilessly.
“Some people are embarrassing jackasses,” he says, giving a laugh. “But I can be one too.”
On the message boards, the offended rail against him: “A hater.” “Washed up.” “Abnoxious [sic].” Others get the joke: “You write articles that are fun, even if your opinions are wrong. Keep it up, man.”
Singleton has spent much of the past 17 years in California, the center of skateboarding culture. But he came home in November for the holidays and has stuck around. His mom runs three day-care centers, and his stepfather and brother have their own churches. He’s been away for half his life, and it’s kind of nice to be back doing the family thing.
Now he’s trying to figure out if he can stay in Jacksonville and still be relevant in the skateboarding world. In the old days, some companies paid him just to wear their clothes or ride their boards. That source of income has dried up. But he can still get free shoes and clothes and skateboards - it’s all part of the business.
His days of competing are over but, for now, he’s still able to cobble together a living simply being Clyde Singleton.
“Sometimes I wonder if it’s ever going to end,” he says. “But hey, enjoy it for the moment. The moment might last forever.”
i gotta run.. got to edit down this weekends GoSkate day festivities, as well as knock out this photo gallery.. make sure to look out for both online over at the Transworld site within the next 48hrs...
"aww nawll, hell nawll boy.. yall done up 'n done it!!"
hoooooooold up.. so, im out here in J'ville, yknow. "swaggin. and im surfin. and im swaggin.."(thas my SH!t!!) anyhow.. so i get a message through the wire, that that embarrassing jackass known as Jereme Rogers has retired from skateboarding via Twitter.. ok. bye. skateboarding could use less b!tchass wanna-be rappers, who tuck they chain in around Black folks... moving forward. so i get this email, and were all poppin our daily jargon of randomness. when Dave Carnie decides to let me know about this book..
Vert skater and industry insider Pete Davidson has released a new book examining the skateboarding industry’s problems and what he feels needs to be done to keep the dream alive.
“No one has stood up and pointed out what’s wrong with the skateboarding industry,” says Davidson in the intro to Reforming a Counter Culture. “They are either too scared to lose their job or too stupid to see what childish things they are promoting.”
Davidson’s solution? “There’s a real need in the industry to show ourselves to the mainstream media…that skateboarders and dirt bags are not synonymous.”
hmm.. where do i start. ok. HOW THE FOKK, is this dude a "industry insider", and i(as well as anyone ive spoken to whos actively involved in the industry, and has been for close to 20yrs) know who the fukk this dude is? i mean.. lets keep it 100 for 2 seconds.. i BEEN at the party. been on the dancefloor. done met & greeted damn near everybody who came in the door. and as my man Riley from Boondocks said, "game recognize game.. and you looking REEAALLL unfamiliar right now.." and furthermore. how the fukk you a "industry insider", but you wearing some dayum mocassins with no socks..?
and did this dude just say "no ones stood up, and pointed out whats wrong with skatebaording.."? is this dude even fa'serious? i dont know if anyones been paying attention.. but there was a guy named Steve Rocco, and.. cal me crazy,. he wasnt "scared' of losing anything. matter of fact- he actually CREATED MORE JOBS.. see.. this is why dudes like this, shouldnt be speaking for us.. and, im being DEAD ASS SERIOUS..
in closing.. this dudes actually trying to convince people, skateboarders "arent dirtbags.." woooord? fa'real? jesus..
look, duke. im sure you had good intentions when writing ya lil book, and i even heard you quote ya boy piFF in there a few times. but, its pretty clear you dont know what the fukk you talm bout.. as skateboarders, we dont OWE anyone- anything. skateboarding is BUILT on rebeliion.. its one of our finest elements, which ALOT of people seem to have forgotten about. fukk their rules. fukk a dress code. fukk a public perception.. we created our own sub-culture, and now we got some clowns inside looking around on some "are we cool" sh!t.. its actually- pathetic. we dont need "them". we dont need their money, or their respect. once we learn to respect our own culture a little more, can we speak.. until then- everyone shut the fukk up. chuuuch!!!!
and while im at it.. why am i the last person to hear about these?: "Legendary skate stomping ground Skate Park of Tampa teamed up with Nike to create this “Moat” Dunk Mid. This interestingly gross colored dunk has deep-rooted water inspiration [even stemming from Clyde Singleton’s chicken fetish]: Skatepark of Tampa’s infamous Moat has earned legendary recognition through the traditional “Moat Race” at the Annual Tampa Am and Tampa Pro. Although stories vary on the origin of the “Race,” it is rumored that Clyde Singleton used to regularly throw chicken bones into the murky waters to feed the The Moat’s original inhabitant, the turtle. Although The Moat has been the receptor of diesel run-off and human blood for the last 15 years, it still threatens to flood Skatepark with every Tampa-style torrential downpour. The colors of The Moat-Inspired Dunk Mid, chosen by Barak Wiser.."
thats odd.. ive never seen these shoes. nor, do i own a pair. somebody bout to end up on Judge Mathis..

and never the one to be outdone, is skateboardings own Mc Bud Bundy- my man, Mr. Jereme Rogers seems as if our friend. MC Bud B has gotten himself in some trouble with the law, via the outgrowth of cowsh!t and whats commonly known as- 'shrooms... dude was mushrooms' and bugged out," preaching naked on his rooftop. jesus.. i cant make this kinda sh!t up.. :
Rogers, a high school dropout who attributes his skateboarding skills to God, was eventually grabbed by police officers and brought down from his precarious perch.
"It obviously was not an everyday experience," the 24-year-old athlete said. "It was a very out-of-body experience. I've never had an experience like that."
Rogers pulled off his boxer shorts about 6:40 a.m. Monday and climbed onto the roof of the two-story house he shares with roommates on Havemeyer Lane and Goodman Avenue.
"It was obviously something I shouldn't have done," Rogers said as he rolled a marijuana joint in his bedroom. "It was just something that happened."
Redondo Beach police Lt. Jim Acquarelli climbed about 20 to 30 feet to the roof, where he found Rogers yelling and screaming. Acquarelli said Rogers' roommates told him that he had ingested the hallucinogenic drug.
Rogers ran back and forth around the roof's perimeter, sitting down at the edge with his back to the street.
"He would have fragmented, interrupted conversations with people that weren't there,"
