35 & Still Alive...Who Would Have Thought...

I decided to get spread a little Canadian love around the office on the first and got the crew out for a surf... Unfortunately I still can't get in the water so I had to do a little improvising...

For 'Merica's big day I decided to dress the part...It's not hard to do when you live beside a swap meet..Ok..Actually This is how I dress most days...you cant beat $25.00 dickies and $1.00 Wife Beaters..

Had a great weekend with Andy at the LIVESTRONG Ride in Davis California last weekend! I have never been up to NorCal..It was a beautiful drive, And Andy was an amazing tour guide, I know he made up most of the answers to my questions..And now I will likely go around spreading miss information about...but the effort was appreciated. We popped by the Shark Tank in San Jose to rock some Hi-5's and Say thanks for their participation in last years campaign.

Andy rocked out a solid 70mile bike ride sunday morning in memory of his grandfather, It was pretty amazing. One of the things I love about the LIVESTRONG Challenges is the visual of the riders coming over the finish line.

The Embassy Suites Booth at These events are typically my favorite.

Nicole was re-enacting her version of what happened to the neck.

I remember being in Philly for the ride last year and meeting some of the most amazing people, so engaged in the survivorship space, It was amazing. Allow me to set the stage that will stick in my head forever...."The snapshot"...As I like to call it. I Was watching survivors coming across the finish line, Covered in dirt, sweat, and Rain, after riding a 100km course with big hills. Suddenly people started throwing Yellow rose petals up in the air as these Cancer survivors rode across the finish line, Hands in the air, Rose petals swirling around their heads, tears streaming down their faces...They did it. I find a lot of strength in this imagery, It makes me tear up every time I go there in my mind. Most importantly when Im having a bad day, or feeling sorry for myself, I go back to this moment...And it propels me over what ever obstacle may be preventing me from moving forward. They were so happy to be alive...They were afforded a second chance...And so was I essentially...I need to always respect that.

We have been reppin the Brown and Yellow at Movember events since way back..









The Wil-I-Am video they shot in our backyard a month back just got released...I hope you enjoy it....In the video you will see our back yard, front yard and Andy's porno bedroom....And this video is the reason we have a kiddie pool and swing set in the back yard for all y'all that were wondering. We are not creepy...In that way.

I couldn't have asked for a better 35th Birthday, Thanks to all of you who reached out...It was overwhelming. We had an epic sunset skate to the pier in Santa Monica for an Ice Cold PBR, Then back to Venice to Hinano for one of the best burgers in LA and off to Sports Harbor where I unleashed my Whitney Houston upon the unsuspecting audience...Im graceful for a big man..

Everything seems to be healing well, Im hoping to get back in to the water soon...Maybe another 3weeks or so...At least I'm going to have a killer tan line to take away from the gnarly scar. If you notice, It has scarred over almost all of the wound finally, except for the middle...Im jazzed!

The most irritation and pain is coming from the adhesive it gets sore during the day and still occasionally bleeds through...But the wound it's self is looking hot! (And by hot I mean almost healed). Thanks for reading...
