2012 Friendly Friends

A good portion of the contributors to this blog are in this video (myself included, surprisingly). We're all Michigan people from the Holland area, more or less. Though, some of us have strayed a little far.

We're different ages, come from different backgrounds, and enjoy and experience different things in life. We're friends.

No matter where we end up.

We share heart, and honesty, and integrity, and confusion about life, and problems, and joys, and travels, and stories, and shared history. We'll always share these things with each other. No matter what.

These are my friends. These are my brothers.

A Spattering (4 for 4th)

Stems. And Tourists. And Junk.

 I don't usually wander around during Tulip Time (or, like this year, "Stem Fest"). As someone that grew up in Holland, was part of the parade through St. Francis de Sales for years, and as someone that generally doesn't go for things with large groups of people--I've been pretty burned out on the whole idea since, probably, the end of middle school.

I love junk food, however. I'm Midwesterner through and through.

Handyman

When I was still little, my father would carry me around on his shoulders every time we went to the grocery store. I was always happy, sitting above everyone else--up high, chewing gum, and happy.

He would ask me, "Are you still chewing your gum?"
"Yes," I would say. If I wasn't, I had swallowed it.

I was that kind of little.

One day at the grocery store, he asked me "Are you still chewing your gum?"

"No," I replied.

Saturday! Be There!

Random March

Somehow, even though I've spent most of my life in Michigan, I had never shot a gun until I was 28 years old.

Even though I was offered women, drugs, and the chance to shoot guns last time I was in Manila. (I'm not sure where you'd actually go for something like that in a city so densely populated. I can only imagine what it would be like to get stoned and shoot hookers.)*

Random Squares (I do not feel like smiling.)

This is the town I grew up in. *

Super Crop (Not Starring Jackie Chan)

I've really been into square crops, lately. I'm not really sure what brought it on, but I just feel like it works so well for a lot of things that I might not be one hundred percent on board with.

For example...

Mid-winter (?) Updates

It's been around 40F during the day for most of February, so I'm convinced that this either isn't really winter, or the matrix is broken and this isn't really Michigan. I'm unemployed like I'm in Michigan, so I'm guessing it's the former.

Lately, I've been taking pictures of things that I don't typically take pictures of outside of bmx: people.

(More after the jump.)

January Webby

A quick vid of an evening I spent hanging out with Pat & Matt at the shop, in Holland (Michigan, for you non-Michiganders [lucky bastards]), after hours.

The winter will probably consist of lots of this. Then, once winter breaks, we'll actually start filming for something full length this year (if you know what I mean).
