When doves cry

I sang Karaoke.

Prince - When Doves Cry

I love Prince.
Sometimes girls tell me I look like him, I don't see it. But goddamn is it flattering.

Texts from last weekend

I'm stealing the text message idea from Bsmitty. And it just so happens I am posting it on tuesday. Like he does. But this is more of a rip off of textsfromlastnight.com, rather thana collection of texts from the previous week. It's kinda like both.

These are from my weekend of drunk. Enjoy.

SATURDAY MAY 30
"I really wanted to see you last night. your party schedule just interferes with my work schedule"

"You got really upset with some guy on the phone. And you were trying to get his number from this girl that looked 13. When she wouldnt give it to you you hit her beer out of her hands"
"Yeah I had to calm you down. You lost almost every button on your shirt. I found one, and gave it to you. You thought I was giving ou drugs. lol"

"You made out with me"

SUNDAY MAY 31
"Oh god, text me back when your really drunk"

"Oh hey, you're a legit kisser"

"Don't take me seriously if I call you after 2am"

I don't know how often I'm gonna update this text thing again. when I looked thru my phone these ruled.

Dong Bong

Jeff P had a BBQ at his place in Kent Monday night. Wreak Havok! showed up with this band from NorCal All Teeth. They brought the dong bong, witch they stole from a frat. We stayed up til almost Beer Oclock. It was a good time. Check those bands out if ya aint got nothin to do!

Rocket Power

Saturday!

Happy Birthday Doost

Last night Doost made it to 22. He suffered mega liver damage. And I don't know what happened after we left the bar. Hopefully something better than FUCK on his forehead!

Smoke Break No Complys

Totally Sketchy!!!

I left my BK in bsmittys car

some things

Here is 2 things that should never be purchased together.


Condoms.
& Liquid Wart Remover.




I Purchased them both due to my overwhelming love for sexual intercourse.
And my overwhelming hatred for the wart on the bottom of my foot.



Then this decent looking babe comes up behind me, and proceeds to whisper to the man she was with I'm assuming about my purchase. . I winked at her. She loved it.

Megan got a sweet bike off craigslist. And we took a trek on the bike trail from Oberlin to Elyria. Then in typical girl style, she started her period so we couldn't go all the way. But we went elsewhere. And it was alot of fun. I'm setting the post time of this post to 12pm on 5/6/09 at this time I am supposed to go on another bike ride from Kipton to Elyria. Well as of right now, it's 10:41pm on cinco de mustache, and I'm kinda drunk, and I'm waiting on this chick. So I'm kinda doubting this whole bike ride thing. I havent had a sober's night sleep since.... I wanna say last thursday. And I'm lacking lotsa motivation. Except for the whole blog thing. Cuz I just came up on a new digicam. So I don't have to take annoying phone pics. Oh well. I'm gonna shit shower n shave. Have fun reading this tomorrow.

Vanilla

When I wear white socks.
I feel like Micheal Jackson.

Just beat it!

pay to play

I've lived in LaGrange on the regular for pretty much almost 8 years. Well in the same apartment atleast. And I frequent Conveinent daily. Sometimes on a multiple level. And I have never ever, ever! Seen anyone use this pay phone. I wish he woulda been having an argument.
But instead I'm going to make up what I think the conversation was about.

He's kinda got a bummed look on his face. I think he was talking to his wife, whom witch either left him for another man. Or caught him with his mistress and/or hooker from Bugsy's. Then turned his cellphone from 1999 off. Forcing him to call n pleade for her to take her back.

Another day another dollar.

I've been real bummed latley. Between moving, having no job, no money, a car that I can't go the places I wanna go in. Missing my mother, and various other things. Jessica & I broke up last night. I really liked her, and I care about her. But I guess it's for the better. Hey Jessica, thanks for putting up with my shit for 4 months. I'll miss you!

I'm moving sunday, for those of my homies that wanna help out. I'll buy a case of booze n we can drink em n move shit. Or a case of pepsi for my booze free homies. Or those of you afraid to get drunk in the day time.
Get at me! I'm only moving across the street. My dad might even buy me a new bed. Fuckin yeah!

I have a present, it is the present

This weekend was full of some decent events. Jessy May was in town for the weekend. So saturday we got drunk n had awesome bff conversation.

Tony Tartamella rules. He sent this picture to my phone, from some one else's phone. Cause he's a gypsy that dosent have a high tech cellphone.
I don't know who the little boy he's fagging out with is. But I do know he grows the most epic facial hair.

I aquired a few new parts for my bike. I found a huffy in the trash, and took the riser bars off it. My freind Justin had just bought a new MTB and gave me the grips n bent seat off it. Now if I could only update the wheels and cranks, it'll rip sooo much harder. If ya ever wanna go booze cruise, hit me up.

Bsmitty has been killin it with blog posts. Here is me being akward. I have the worlds worst foot wart. And bsmitty came to pick me up on sunday for a mansfeild sesh, it took me 15 minutes to see where I misplaced my wart killer stuff. Then I had to wash my foot. Ever sit on the sink n wash your foot?

But we went to skate the Elyria park, n do a fun trick tip thing for his blog on saturday. Well check it out, its funny.

battle @ the berrics2

this is who i voted for.

Columbogus & Dayton

So, the pictures I took on the HiJacked camera of bsmitty.com turned up.Not in my email. But on bsmitty's new blog. This blog is currently only filled with random photo's from our trip. But from what I understand in the future, it will be full of random stuff. Unlike his main blog, thats not really a blog. It's well, whatever it is. It rips and I know you visit it daily. Or atleast when he post's a bulletin on myspace.
So I'm uploading the same photo's as bsmitty, from his last 3 blog posts. Putting in my own commentaryAnd i'll steal the rest when he uploads them.

This is the car on the way to ColumBOGUS. I always make awesome faces.

So we get into Downtown Columbus, and find a Hyatt. Find a garage to park in. And were going thru this maze of tunnels. Witch took us to the hotel with the double set inside. But it was the wrong Hyatt. Who the fuck puts 2 Hyatts in a 6block radius.

Bsmitty n Jeff were trying to win some lotto cash, to pay for the parking garage we just wasted. They wasted even more on the lotto. They wouldn't call it gamblin' if they called it winnin'. There was a picture to show that. But it fucked up my blog format, check bsmitty's blog for it

So we finally get to the right hotel, start skating with the rest of the dudes we went to meet up with. Get 6 blocks away, and it rains. So dotcom jeff n I walked back to the hotel. Bummed.
















Since we were just sitting in the lobby, we decided to not break the rules while we were waiting for the homies to get back. I like to smoke where I wanna smoke!

When I asked brad if there was a pool, I didn't mean table. I'm on a strict budget. And it was only 20 bux after I gave dot com 10 for gas n parking.

So when we figured out there was no pool, no free internet, no free breakfast, and not an open booze store in sight. We had to go on a mission.

Down the elevator, to find a place to buy booze. Bsmitty dosent drink, but he was along for the rain walk.

Bsmitty found the meaning of his existance, or rather his demise. Peanuts kill. And thats exactly what he wanted to eat at that point. Again, there was a phot for this, but it fucked me. So peep on bsmittys shit for what it is.








After about another 6 block walk in the rain. I asked some randoms, and kkinds scared them. But I asked them for a bar for carry out booze. They sent us the the tip top. Thank goodness.

After 15 bux, and 6 tall boys in hands, the walk back to the hotel wasnt so bad. You n I know there's more to this story....

Lakewood park

Saw this one myspace. Last trick is fucking insane!

Took a trip with the homies to Columbus. I hijacked bsmitty's handy dandy digital camera. And shot tons of crappy point n shoot photos.

When he emails me them, Ill make a post about it. But until then, I'm drinking my coffee.

SPRING BREAK!

Well I realized. I'm on permanent weekend.
Well I decided. Why not be on permanent spring break?!

And this was my inspiration

Strictly Business

For years now, I've been way into business professionals. And have developed the title with bsmitty.com to be stricly business. The business I'm talking about isn't 9 to 5 funless bullshit. It's more so just making a name for yourself in any witch way possible.
But one thing about strictly business, is business cardsI've always wanted one, just to hand out to whomever I may meet along the road. Iwas going to have them made when I had yougotsomechange.com up n running. And I'm concidering it still with gnarboot. Well after I buy the URL and it's not just a blogspot. But there's this video on youtube about Business cards. And the dude in the video is fucking awesome.

I feel that everything in this video is 100% true. What this man says about business cards is 100% accurate.
I mean I can't and wont follow every step in this. But I have good ideas for it.



Anyways. This is bsmitty.com he is strictly business

Part 2 of my recap

So this entry is about Saturday March 28th.

I woke up on the uncomfortable couch at the Wolf den. At about 10am. I got off the couch, and fell. I was still drunk. Way drunk. I spent the whole ride back to my house wishing I was dead.

I called bsmitty.com back, cuz I missed his phonecall. I told him I'd be over his house at 1. I wanted to go back to bed.

Well I went back to bed, and I didn't wake up until around 4pm.

With the worst hangover ever, I met up with bsmitty and we drove to meet up with the Chicago homies to take them to Slayer.

Slayer got slayed. And there's some photo's of Jeremiah shredding it, as well as him and some crack heads. I'd go to bsmitty.com and snake them. But I'm too lazy. So just click the link and lurk them out.

After slayer, we went downtown. I broke my board at the first spot. And we continued to go here n there.

Then at 12am we called it a night, and I let the chicago homies sleep on my floor. 5 dudes, myself n bsmitty kickin it in my room. drinkin beers n smokin cigarettes. Well except bsmitty, he dont drink.

That was saturday. That was a really, really fun day.

There might be a part 3 to this. Depends how lazy I am tomorrow.

1week recap part 1

Tim Worthen = Slacker. Amongst other things.

Lemme start back with Friday. Mar 27, 2009

There was a party @ the wolf den. In parma. I attended with Tijuana & the always charming Miss Megan. Shit was poppin off. Everyone was getting drunk. And staying in line. Except I hear someone stole Mama Wolfs phone. And whomever you are, your a piece of shit for that. But anyways. Doost & CJ were in attendence. As was Jeffy P whom witch I had to keep in line, for the majority of the night. I saw him make out with this chick. And then freak out n run down the street. But the best part of this story is, he was wearing daisy dukes. But I eventually convinced him driving while blacked out was a bad idea. And we returned to the party. To find Tijuana snaking the girl Jeffy was making out with, and then more freaking out happened. After that happened everything gets hazy. The party died down. Jeffy & I found several sparks, witch we enjoyed in the bathroom while he was shitting. Then passed out in the most uncomfortable position ever on the most uncomfortable couch ever. Tijuana got laid. Go Tijuana!

Here'sa picture I found on my phone the next day. It's doost. And I have no Idea if he took the picture or I did. But fuck trying to figure it out. He looks like he's balding.

to be continued in a little bit, gnar boot time.

Put the Dot in tha Dot Com

I've been quoted on the bsmitty.com twitter.

"all i have to do is show my girl bsmitty.com and shes ripping her clothes off!" (it's true, I don't think it was the photo's of me. I think it was the photo's of Eric V ripping waaaaaaaaay hard. But I won't tell her that.)

But if you don't know who bsmitty is. I'll give you the low down.

First off, he's my BFF & lifepartner (no homo). He's the raddest photographer in the midwest. Maybe the world. I don't know, you don't know. He's commin up hot, with photo's in magazines left n right. An interveiw even!

But if you wanna see him come up even harder. Check out his site. BSMITTY DOT COM he's on this merch kick. So stop by his store. He's got everything! Stickers, buttons, Shirts, & even prints. I mean he dosent have all that in his store, but if you lurk his site hard enough you can find his email, and be like "duuuuuuuuuuude, hook me up with a print" or "duuuuuuuuuude, lemme getta sticker!"

Go there!

OH! Did I mention there is a free gift in every bsmitty dot com tee...

A subliminal message!

Peep the tee!

For Tijuana

HAHA!

I don't really think she smoked meth.

But just cuz Tijuana said to post this in my blog I am.

FTW!

And if black block from black block reads this. HA you gotta love Tijuana!

Pipe smoker

So here's a photo of myself doin a trick that is only half a trick. I dont know what to call it but Dog Piss. Not to be confused with the dog pisser air. Witch is way radder.

I think I might actually be up on 3 o'clock in the fullpipe. Witch I'm kinda actually pretty stoked on.

What I am not stoked on, is the fact that last night was Sunday night. And I went out to bside like usual. And I stayed sober. I had on drink. I am so over this being broke shit. I have an interveiw thing today at some upscale bar in downtown Cleveland. Maybe they want a scumbag bartender. Who knows. We'll find out. I'll keep you posted just like bsmitty.com does. He posts. So check him out every the fuck day!

Put that in your pipe n smoke it.

So, I'm stoked. Not because I got to start my day off skating this rusty ass full pipe. But I'm actually updating my blog about skateboarding with these assholes.
Full pipes are fun, for about 10 minutes. Then after riding back n forth getting dizzy. The funs kinda over. I mean unless your Bob Burnquist and you do loops. thats gnarly as fuck.
But today was my first real outdoor sesh of the year. And I'm stoked it was warm and alotta fun. We skated some other spots. But I didn't take photos of them, cuz they wernt worth mentioning.... yet.

Enjoy. And leave thoughts n opions n shit fuckers.

Runnin' Wild

Last night ripped!

The Poison Arrows played with the Queers at the Grog Shop. Theyre so fuckin' good live. I had been looking forward to that show for a few months now. And definatley was not disapointed. So check theyre myspace. Find out when n where their playing!

After the Poison Arrows set, Megan & I boogied over to the Beachland Ballroom to see the Black Lips. We didnt wanna pay for any shows tonight, so we didnt. We walked past security. And as we're walking in I hear "hey, hey! stop!" We made it into the ballroom and dipped into the pit. The Black Lips suck live by the way. But the bartenders at the Beachland ruled. The shots the poured were gnarly. And when they asked to see my stamp, i showed them my stamp from the grog. And that is apparently good enough.

But that's all I have to say about last night. It was fun.

Leo put his on

I'd like to update my blog with more posts about skateboarding.
More so with a buncha no name punks I like to call my homies.
But this is just bonkers.



We've all seen bikes n rollerbladers go up rails for a while now. And we've seen random dudes go up little bitty rails.

GNAR BOOTS TO LEO

Retox

Here is the recipe to make me blackout.

Before the bar:

2 cans of joose

2 hours at the bar:

3 shots of yukon jack

3+ cans of sparks

I don't remember much of hour 2 and after. But I guess I'm a huge fan of pulling my pants down in the bar and in public. I'll scream and talk shit about whatever I want. I will drunk dial.

I told my girlfreind she was a one night stand. Repeatedly. I spent a good 10 minutes telling her how much I hated Tijuanas car. Then the car she was driving. While driving down the highway. I pulled it from drive into second gear.

While at home I tried to rip, literally rip all my clothes off. And I woke up naked next to my lady. Real confused.

All n all, it was a good night.

I hope theres more stories no one has told me yet.

Sink. Florida. Sink.

I'm home from Florida.

It was boring as fuck. But it was warm. The drinks were cold. The free outdoor skateparks were wack. Well around the Orlando area. Joose is sold at every gas station. Umm. Fuck. Thats about it.

Here's a picture that was emailed to me on my trip.

It's an ass. I got it from Pat he got it from Purple. It's her butt.

Enjoy. It aint nothin special. But I know my loyal readers, like tits ass n raging. This will have to suffice.

Bring on the spring, bring on the SHRED!

I just want to start this off with an apology.

Jarrett Ward. Sorry for slacking, sorry for my lack of nakedness and other acts of awesome. Please accept my apology and keep me bookmarked.

So last night, at Evolution Skatepark. I saw the one and only Patrick Odell from your favorite internet TV show Epicly Later'd. The skatopia dudes were there. And I think it had something to do with as to why Mr. Odell was there. I was star struck. I wish I snapped a lurker photo of him. But I didnt. Bummed.

Speaking of pictures. Here's some babe cleavage. I took this while she was looking. Thanks Sandi!

OH! So I'm readin this interveiw over at shake junt. Here's a little something I relate to....

"RENO: I'VE NOTICED THAT YOU'VE TAKEN A LIKING TO THIS DELICIOUS MALT BEVERAGE CALLED "JOOSE". HOWS IT BEEN TREATIN YA?
BEAGLEoneISM: HOLY SHIT! JOOSE IS THE BUCKEST DRINK I'VE COME ACROSS! I HAVE A HABIT OF DRINKIN IT WHILE IM DRIVING, CUZ ITS AN ENERGY DRINK AND I LOVE THAT NEXT LEVEL OF BUCKNESS! RECENTLY I HAVE DISCOVERED I ONLY BLACKOUT WHEN I DRINK "JOOSE" WHICH CAUSES ME TO BREAK SHIT AND FIGHT WITH MY GIRL... IM CUTTIN BACK ON IT A LIL, BUT "JOOSE" IS THE FUCKIN SHIT!!!" ""

I relate to the blackout-ness

And I think thats about it. I'm leaving for FL in the morning. Gypsy style. I gotta hundred bux, and a weeks worth of livin to do. If I get broke send me money!

Advertising

So I'm watchin this video from the berrics, and Buttery Ass Donavian is talkin about advertising. Well hell. I'll just link up the vid.

So I pulled out all the money I had in my pocket. And got my advertising on. So, this is what you should do. Pull out all your money and a marker. Write gnarboot.blogspot.com and go spend that shit somewhere. Spend it at your local skateshop your local skatepark or your favorite bar. And repeat.

I'm spending mine @ MONSTER JAM tomorrow! With my first valentines date in years. Isn't that romantic?

Last sunday, sunday, sunday

Last sunday. The goal for my night was to do something I regret.

Well I can't remember a thing that I did.

Here's the comments on myspace I recieved on monday. Tijuana explains alot about my night. And then we havea AIM conversation between Jeff P. and myself.

I heard alot about my night from Jessica. But Tijuana summed it up, and I'm too lazy to go into more detail.

fashion

You know whats the latest trend?

Milfs. Yeah Milfs. We all love them.

Ya know what else is cool. Deep V tees. Mullets. Vests. Pinstripe hoodies.

Highlighted hair. Surfer sign language.

And many more things that you can't play i spy with in this picture. This is from last Saturday, from the fashion show Sadie G was in. I look incredibly sober in this picture. But I had already spilled 2 drinks.

It's 8pm, Im drinking Joose. And getting loose. Tonights bside. I love tonight. It seems like every weeks some sort of bad decision is made there. Well I'm making it before I go. Im doin it big this week. 3 cans of Joose before I go. I hope I dont remember who I make out with tonight.

The goal for everyone that reads this, is to do something you'll regret. Then tell me about it. Comment this, email it to me timworthen@gmail.com or hit me up on myspace. The best story will go with mine. Deal? You fuckin won't. I mean I know only like 3 people are loyal readers. So you 3 do something!

somethin else

Ya know, I've always hated on scooter kids. But I was lurking the Focus Mag. And they posted this video.


REviseddd TPC part from matt mckeen on Vimeo.

This is one of the more insane things I have ever saw. If all scooterers shredded like this, I'd have no problem.

Doooooooooooooooooooooost

Not even a half hour in the car n Doost has to make a piss stop.

Sorry you can't see the pee stream, I was alittle excited to take this.
Okay, actually I was freezing.

Field Minding

Mind Field. Amazing skateboard video. I won't ruin it for anyone that wasnt there. But goddamn, I want to. I will ruin this tho. Heath Kirchart. In the credits. In the thank you section. Heath Kirchart thanks. "Nobody." Heath is gnarly as fuck.

So I woke up today in a bit of a scamper. It was 11am, and I had stayed up til 5 am "hangin out". 11am rolls around. Jeff Smeff calls me to inform me he's not going. So I have to rush to get ready, to pick up Doost in Avon Lake and go meet up with Chad & Mark in Strongsville to roll out to Dayton. After driving half way to Doost's and realizing I brought no money, turning around and all the other time that was spent in a car today. I don't wanna be in one again for a long while. I hate cars. Hate em.

But in my scamper to get ready, I still managed to check out my myspace. Low n behold there was this glorious comment on my page. that won't resize right so you can read it without clicking it. But click it.

But if Nick tell's me more sweet somethings I wanna hear, I'm bailing. I'm over Ohio right now. I needs to see the west coast. BTW check out the Band. ICARUS LANDING. Rock n f'n Roll!

ONE DAY AWAY!

WHO'S READY FOR SOME KIRCHART CURTAINS!?

If your goin, lemme know we'll sneak beers in together!

friday pix

Since I'm conceited and narcissistic I'm only posting pictures of myself. You can go to http://fuckbmx.com/ for the rest of these.
