T park GoonZ

Today , Sunday December  6 , my good friend Dax and I decided to go to Tarzana park. We both arrived at the same time , and headed into the park. Both us were messing around , and having a wonderful time. Dax decided to no comply up a 3 stair, which was totally lit. After he landed his trick, an elderly Russian man told Dax that his father should kill him for being a foul mouth hooligan. We took this as a sign to leave , and soon after headed out into the near by area. We smashed some beer bottles, met a friend at his house , and then got "Happy Meals" from Mcdonalds. After all these festivities, we skated to a near by Goodwill and tried on some very stylish sunglasses. After a few minutes of that we went to near by festival which ended up being lame, so we went to Pozis and got some fries we never ate. After that we skated across the street to Starbucks where we parted ways.

Peanuts Movie

I've decided to blog about something a little different this week, my review of the new Peanuts movie. For those of of you that don't know, "Peanuts" is originally a comic strip , and later turned into several T.V specials, and now a movie. It features Charlie Brown, his dog Snoopy, and several other of Charlie Browns friends. The movie is about Charlie going after a new girl in his school , and it also references several of the T.V. specials. I personally really enjoyed the film , I thought it was very funny, and it also was a good addition to the Peanuts series. It included all of the original characters from the comic strip , and paid homage to the original creators of it. It's a very family friendly film, and it's humorous , but also teaches several valuable lessons along the way. If you're into Peanuts, I highly recommend you watch it.

Story starter

Sorry gang I didn't do anything worthwhile this week , so enjoy my story starter.

It was a cold October evening , just a few days before the sought after Halloween. A young girl sat in tranquility , clutching her teddy bear in one arm. She was getting ready to go to bed , when an uneasy thought crossed her mind. Just earlier that day , her father was watching world champion wrestler Randy Orton on the television. She was thinking to her self about the big bad menacing Randy Orton , when a subtle rustling noise came from under her bed. Alarmed , she quickly turned on the bedside lamp to investigate. She stared , traumatized , at what was coming from underneath her bed. Two large hands appeared , slowly crawling from beneath. She was in disbelief at first , but then reality sank in. She thought it was only a legend , a simple myth to scare children. Rko champion of the world, Randy Orton coming from beneath her bed. This could only mean one thing. He was hungry. Hungry for a Rko. The young girl tried to escape , but it was two late. A huge wrestling rink rose from the ground , trapping her in the elastic bands that stretched from corner to corner. It was dead silent. Randy Horton was no where in sight. Them for a split second , she saw him. The legendary Randy Orton was perched up on the side like a falcon stalking its prey. Randy took a huge leap into the air , flying towards the girl. He locked his hands around her head and slammed her to the ground. She had been Rko'd by the legendary Randy Orton. The girls parents quickly came rushing in, but it was too late , Randy had vanished into the bleak October night in which he came.

Weekend Adventures

Last Friday , my friends and I went out skating after our early day dismissal. It started off by going to a near by two stair , which we often go to warm up. After skating that for about 30 minutes , we went to a ledge spot across the street. We soon realized we were all hungry , so we skated down to McDonald's where we are cheeseburgers and discusses out favorite amines. From McDonald's , we skated a few blocks down to Tarzana park , where we saw a few of our friends from school. After skating Tarzana park for 30 mins , my friend Max ordered an uber to drive us to pedlow skatepark. Unfortunately , after an hour of skating at pedlow , Max fractured his ankle. Max left soon after , and for the rest of the day we decided to take it easy.
The next day , Halloween , all of my friends got together at my house to go trick or treating. We drove to a near by neighborhood , and walked around the streets for hours collecting candy. When we were done trick or treating , everyone got back together at my house to sleepover. We watched a few movies , and did some other foolish things. We ended up sleeping for about 4 hours , and woke up early to watch Naruto and play video games. At about 10 , everybody left feeling extremely tired.

Party Dawg$

Last Saturday , October 24 , I went to my friend Mireille's birthday party. She rented out Skateland , along with a few other families who were also celebrating birthdays on that day. Skateland is an establishment that focuses on roller blading and roller skating. I haven't gone roller skating since I was four years old, but I quickly go used to it after watching my friends skate past me. After skating around in circles for a few minutes , my friend Greg and I went to the dj to request some songs we wanted to hear played over the speaker system. After a few minutes of arguing , we decided lose hope of the dj playing Chief Keef. After a few more minutes of skating I went to a small dining area where dinner was being served. I drank some delectable beverage and munched on some scrumptious pizza. About 30 minutes later , the birthday cake was served and we all sang happy birthday and ate cake. Then , Dax decided to rap battle Mireille's dad , and because of Dax's super hot fire , her dad quickly gave up. The party ended soon after , and I grabbed my party favor of cotton candy , and Dax's lovely mother took me back to her house where I was picked up.

Pedlow

If you know me , you most likely know that I skateboard and one of my favorite places is Pedlow skatepark.  Last Friday , I went to Pedlow with my friends Max , Russell , Greg , Ryan , and Kenny. Max paid for an uber after school that could sit atleast 6 people  , and we waited at Starbucks for our ride to show up. After about 10 minutes , our uber had arrived and we all went on our way to the skatepark. Our goal for the day was to get footage for a YouTube video we were working on, called "sk9r boiz". We arrived at the park and thanked the driver , then quickly skated off into the park grounds. We began warming up by skating a small ledge near the entrance of the park. After a few minutes , Greg decided that he wanted to skate one of the biggest drops in the park. It was almost 6 feet tall , and by far the biggest thing any of us have ever skated. Greg tried it for a few minutes but quickly realized his ankles weren't ready for that kind of impact. We skated all around the park for the next few hours , and everybody had fun. We decided to end the day by eating some pizza and Cheetos  that we got from the ice cream truck outside.

Dax's House

Last Friday , October 9th, I went over to one of my very good pal Dax's house, along with my other good pal Russ.  Dax's mother , Tasha , better known as the notorious Mama Bezner , picked us all up from school in her radiantly colored Chevrolet Volt. We were all sitting comfortably on our cellular devices when Dax suggested we listen to some obscene and inappropriate gangster rap. I took this into consideration for a second , and then I plugged my phone into the AUX and began to blast a new up-and-coming rappers hit single , "Drill Time" by Slim Jesus. It was totally fire , but Dax turned down the beat to express his desire for a Halloween Whopper from Burger King. Mama Bezner , being the totally radical and righteous mom that she is, told us that she would all get us Burger king. We got our food which satisfied us until we got to Dax's house. Once we arrived we immediately started destroying his and his neighbors property , and shredding up his flat bar. After a good few minutes of skating , we all went into the backyard to go swimming.  After our quick dip in the pool , we had a super manly and confidential talk about our love for tea cup poodles. We went back outside and continued skating ,  only to come back inside again to play WWE wrestling on the xbox. After playing video games , Russ and I decided totable it out for real.We had a super intense fist fight , and blood was lost on both sides. We both had some broken ribs and traumatic head injuries , but were both okay now. That pretty much sums up my time at Dax's house , I hope you enjoyed !

Scandalous Street Thugs

My blog this week will be about some of the cool events that happened over the weekend. After school on Friday I went over to my friend Greg's house along with my other friend Dax. Once we arrived at his house we immediately grabbed our skateboards out of the trunk and began skating down the massive hills that built up his neighborhood. We all were very eager to skate an abandoned tennis court that was just a few blocks up. Once we arrived , we snuck into the property by crawling through a tiny whole in the fence that was hidden by bushes. We went in and began to notice that the property was filled with signs saying "No trespassing " and "Security cameras in use"  but since thats never stopped us before , we just presumed skating. We got a good 20 minutes of skating in before stuff started to get interesting. We heard a car pull up in front , and since Greg had been talking about how ADT security was always coming to check up on the property , we started to run. We knew we couldn't run out the front without them seeing us, so we ran to the side of the tennis court and hid behind a large fence and ducked down in a tiny gap between the fence and the surrounding hillside.  Unfortunately , we were too late. The two security guards began walking towards us and we knew we had to accept our fate. To our surprise , the men were actually quite nice , and they seemed to understand all we wanted to do was skate. We left and thanked the guys for being so kind. It's rare to be kicked out of somewhere that smoothly , it usually involves yelling , fighting , the cops , and stuff like that. For example , today my friends Dax, Max, and I just rolled up to a stair set and were greeted with a screaming woman saying that if we didn't leave right away she would call the police. So ya , being a skateboarder isn't always the easiest thing , but it sure is fun.

Venice Beach

Yesterday , September 26 , me along with several other friends went to Venice beach for a friends birthday. The day was going as planned , as my friends and I skated along the bike path parallel to the glistening water that was Venice beach. We proceeded to reach our destination which was the renowned skatepark which lays in the heart of beach. Once we arrived , we immediately attempted to reach the goals we had set earlier , as far as the tricks we wanted to land on certain obstacles around the park. I don't want to bore you with the details , putting into consideration that a majority of the people reading this wont understand the trick names , lingo , and other terms relating to skating . To make a long story short , we skated around the park for several hours and once we were all satisfied with the tricks we had landed  , we decided it was a suitable time to go eat lunch. We exited the park , and skated down the bike path which lead us directly to the lunch spot. All of us began to mellow down after a long day of skateboarding , and enjoyed our meal. In the middle of eating , my friend/classmate Dax and I heard something that was rather upsetting to us...

Across from where we were eating, a small group of men were reciting bible verses and bashing homosexuality. Normally I would respect someones opinion like how I hope they would respect mine. However , these people had the audacity to publicly cry out about how they believed homosexuality was wrong and how being gay was the route to all evil . I decided to confront them , along with Dax. We politely asked them questions regarding their way of thinking and what lead them to the conclusion that being gay was wrong, and we received the usual answer about how it says it all in the bible. I told them that it is an unalienable right that you are entitled to life , liberty , and pursuit of happiness and that if being gay makes you happy neither you or the government can take that away from someone. It was at this point that the group of men began to make up fake statistics surrounding gay people , and saying things that were rude , vulgar  , and began to show several signs of aggression. At this point we decided it was in our best interest to leave , because we weren't looking for any sort of physical altercation.

I definitely wouldn't consider myself humanitarian of any sort , I just believe in the fair and ethical treatment of all human beings. People that are gay , straight , black , white , etc. are still just that , people. To treat someone poorly based on the soul reason that they are gay is disgusting , and although everybody is entitled to their own opinion , I still firmly believe in what I have to say. If I offended you or your religion , I apologize because that was not my intent. Everything I said is merely an opinion , and I am entitled to it just as you are entitled to yours.

About my blog

As you know,  the title of my blog is interesting encounters. You've probably guessed by now what i will be blogging about , thats right , my intersting encounters. I often go out skateboarding in my free time , and in that time  I meet some very interesting people. I've always wondered who these people are , what there stroy is , and whats on there mind. By doing this blog , its given me an oppurtunity to do just that. My blog enterees will be in an "interview" style , and include questions and answers from the people I choose to interview. The purpose of this blog is to learn something new about a stranger , gain their perspective on current and ongoing issues , and other things that I find to be important.  I will interview people of all ages , ethnicities , social classes , etc. I believe everybody has the right to be heard , and I believe the blog will give them the opportunity to do that . My inspiration to make my theme about interviews is that many people aren't heard just because of  their race , financial circumstances , etc. This blog won't be about promoting ideas or beliefs , and everything that is said is just a personal opinion . I hope you enjoy my posts !
