"im sure one of you 'internet scientists' with your degree in Googlery, have some kinda answer for this.."

i had a really odd dream last night.. first, i was skating in some mountain'ess area of.. actually. i have no idea where the fokk i was! i just know it was mountain'ess, and it had alot of spots.. then, after making it to the apex of one area of this random ass spot- i realized I'd grabbed the wrong camera. what?! i was hyped on where i was, and a n!kka needed a flick. the sh!t look'ted like suhn'tin outta the movie "Dune", but had skate-spots.. trust me. it was dope.. anyways. so in a panicked state, i dropped into this one area that was forbidden to venture in unless you had a golf cart. yeah. a fukkin, golf cart.. needless to say, i dropped in. and woke up, before i cracked my skull. end of that one.. so, i proceed to my 2nd stage of dormacy, and this time- i found myself in a And1 b-ball type tournament. i really didnt feel like playing, or practicing. so, i just grabbed the ball, and performed a few dunks. after i did my thizzle, i left the courts only to be found in some huge skateable mall-type complex.. i grabbed some kids board, and just skated around. forgetting i was entered in a b-ball contest.. someone walks up and goes, "hey.. theyre calling your name/team right now...". i dropped my board, and took off running only to find myself awakening to the voice of Robin Meade.. damn. Robin Meade is fine.. but, real slobber. isnt that a weird ass dream? sh!t was like the ghetto version of Science of Sleep..

if you think my dream was weird.. look at this "plant"..

i dont even know how to say the name of this thing, but what i DO know is- that damn sho'll aint no cornucopia. and, that thing eats rats.. so, yeah. its a carnivore. its ugly. and, it somehow has a mouth.. i got a good question.. is that the "tongue" protruding above it? and, whas wit' me,and all these big ass words today..? did i read a dictionary in my sleep too, or suhn'tin?

for those of you who might not be familair.. i introduce you, to Mr. Kellen James..

good Jesus, is that dude good.. whats funny, is when i dropped Minority Report over 2yrs ago- NO ONE was trying to hear me 'bout dude.. i mean, NO ONE.. now. the same cats who shooting flicks with him, giving him props, etc.. act like they just dicovered him. and, dont even have the decency to mention Minority Report.. yall make me laugh, sometimes.. actually. yall make me laugh, ALL the time. anyways.. check out Kellen in Transworlds new video, "Right Foot Forward".. im sure he has the best part.. actually. im POSITIVE, he has the best part..

really quick.. theres been ALOT of good music droppin in the last few days.. new Jigger Man. new Raekwon album(FUEGO!!!). some leaks from the new M.O.P. album thats droppin.. chronic, re-mastered w/unreleased material.. i suggest yall get on over to hustlemania.com, and do the damn thing...

before i go.. no 'cism, but can someone tell me how the fukk this woman.. gave birth, to them lil white kids?

*click here for the entire story
before anyone gets their panties in a bunch.. im familiar with what an albino looks like.. what im NOT familiar with, is how 2 Brazilians with my skin tone.. humped. and one.. actually, 3 of those kids popped out.. im sure one of you 'internet scientists' with your degree in Googlery, have some kinda answer for this..

well. i gotta run. got some guests coming over for dinner, then ill more than likely be downtown at the Artwalk.. followed by Autrelles "MJVSJT" Party @ Eclipse.. until then.. yall be safe, and if you wanna catch up w/me in the meantime- dont be scurred to follow me on twitter.. peace!!

Livingroom hit me up last week, and let me know he was diggin the blog, and particularly my "When Did You Realize Eminem was an Embarrassing jackass" piece.. well, Livingroom- as promised.. i got another on for you..

When did You Realize 50Cent was an Embarrassing Jackass?

- after he made, "How to Rob" and got thrown down some steps and beat down by Ghostface and his fellow Wu members

- after he put out a Order of Protection against member of Murder Inc

- after the BET interview where he said "I got first-hand knowledge of Murder Inc being started with drug money..", and 2 weeks later- Murder Inc was raided and under Federal investigation

- when he dropped those G-Unit lesbian sports tops

- after he claimed to get shot 9 times, but when the police and hospital reports dropped claiming he was actually only hit 3 times

- when he made a song called "In da Club", and you found the only person that really be in the club- is the dude who clapped him up in front of his Grandma's

- when he popped all that sh!t on the radio, and when the Game & Blackwallstreet showed up.. he high-tailed it out the back door..

- when Game single-handidly embarrassed him, and G-Unit

- when Game said he'll put 50 in the ground like his mother, and 50 did nuffin

- when the L.O.X. embarrassed him on every diss track, and then years later- he was smiling on camera with Jada

- when Jada did "Sorry Mrs. Jackson", and he did nothing..

- when you found out he lives in a mansion with 3 other grown men, but no women

- when 50 made fun of Ja Rule singing, and turned around and made songs singing himself

- when 50 was talking tough to the CEO of Koch, and told him to "put Cam on the phone.." and when Cam got on the phone, 50 changed his whoooooooooole demeanor

- after Cam'ron single-handidly embarrassed him, had made him shaving his teeth down and changing the name of his album

- when he made "Candy Shop"

- when he lost to Kanye, and tried to twist the rules and say he "meant worldwide numbers.."

- when Jay told him he couldnt release the "I Get Money" remix, until AFTER Kanye dropped his album

- when that African cat ran up on stage, and yanked his chain off his neck(1:36 mark)

*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.

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.”

- id like to take this time to thank Matt Soergel, Jon Fletcher, Martin Ramos @ Kona
skatepark for letting me not only skate padlees. but also, setting his pool on fire. and last but not least- my girlfriend for all your support in getting this article done.. if you know of the recent events going on in Jacksonville, and the medias attempt to potray us in a certain light, over a certain incident that was obviously MADE UP.. you'd know this front page feature, was HUGE for skateboarding.. so once again, props to everyone involved..

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...

and until, you can check out Jon M. Fletchers photo gallery of this years GoSkate Day(courtesy of /Florida Times Union).. then- get on over to hustlemania for all your music, news, and other goodies.. oh yeah- you can usually find me on twitter. yall be easy..

"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.."
