Orlando wins?... The Magic won at least.


So, tonight the Orlando Magic won the eastern conference play offs and are now going on to play the Lakers to see who the best professional basketball team in north america is. This has brought alot of publicity to our city but has the publicity and hype of our local basketball team finally doing well after over ten years of nobody cares to justify funding a new arena? I have watched a good amount of the playoff games and it seemed as if our current amway arena does the job. The other night i was riding around and wondered by this mess. I have been told that this is our new arena for the magic to play inside of. This does not look bigger than our current arena... it, in fact, looks smaller. If you travel 1/4 of a mile in one direction of this site you hit the booming downtown orlando area with bars and small venues as far as the eye can see. but, if you travel 1/4 mile in the opposite direction you hit a neighborhood that looks like it could use orlandos money in a more useful way. I strongly agree with anyone who feels that a new place for the Orlando Magic to play is an extreme waste of Orlando's money.

you gotta get them before they get you...


So, the other day the "casselberry crew" rolled over to an undisclosed location in sanford to party. This dude named Curtis invited Gut Ruckus to come over and play a show in his living room. He failed to mention that it was his moms house and she was out of town.... When we arrived spencer was jammin on the one and showing up all of the other djs and mcs in the house. Meanwhile Dan Perez was shredding the dance floor. Aaron and Jon played a solo set and raged. As soon as the music started all hell broke loose and the party went something like T H I S.

Tampa ditches are going off...

My boss, Chad DeGroot drove my co-workers Dave McDermott, Greg Smee, and myself to Tampa last week Where we met up with Matt Coplon.... Matt is a good friend of mine who happens to lead a double life between singing for one of my favorite bands called Light Yourself on Fire(look them up on myspace) and working as the top dog keeping things together at Profile Racing. I brought the camera and took a couple of photos and these were some of my favorites.

In the past year things in my life have changed drastically. My fathers health has rendered him unable to work where he has been working for the past 17 years. After being a retail store manager for over 35 years he is retired and is able to enjoy life a little more. With me taking a break from school and moving out last year i have had little time between riding bikes and working over 40 hours each week. Two weeks ago my father and i took a trip to cordel Georgia for an electric r/c show and fly. We stayed with his friend Charlie(the guy who sold me his boss old ss suburban). I stayed in Atlanta for two days and hung out with my dad. It was good to spend some time with him. Funny, i had to talk him out of buying a nitrous kit for his corvette when we stopped in summit racing just outside of Atlanta.... The guy is my hero and thought i would post some pics from the weekend.

still something wrong.....



sooo, my newer computer is having problems with the internet browser. last night was really wild. the zeal distro team to party and take all of floridas women. downtown orlando got wrecked my GL and myself, i am pretty sure GL is still 21 years old and he could still whip Gary Ellis' ass on and off of the track. Holy shit, he told me last night that he named the S&M Holmes. I believe it.
Tonight is sure to be wild, when i left for work this morning the front porch had already been wrecked in preparation for the party/show tonight. Gut Ruckus has been in full effect lately weather it was a regular band practice or at 5:00a.m. Do me a favor for real though, if you get there before me....... save me a spot.
