A recent report conducted the well-renowned Dr. Dip has shown that video games and excessive amounts of time spent playing XBOX Live can lead to a) lack of vision from bright artificial lights, b) obesity from lack of exercise and too many flaming hot cheetos and c) inability to interact with the opposite sex. The Doctor recommends children in such a position attempt to both "shred the gnar" and "skate the gate" in order to avoid falling victim to video game addiction.
In other news, thanks to EVERYONE that helped out for the Hot Dog and Pizza Bagel lunches! Thanks to the parents that donated food, too - kids, give them a big hug. Shoutout to Ms. Trudy for running the operation so smoothly. We managed to successfully raise over $800!!!!!
Yes kids, you know what that means. It means Mr. Diptesh can finally pay rent and buy that pair of Nikes he's been eyeing for the last month. WOOT!
It also means we'll all have pads and helmets taken care of AND some money for ramps/rails or more legit skateboarding gear such as trucks, wheels etc. BIG DEAL!
Pictures of the last Shred Francisco painting session are up on the fb page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Shred-Francisco/101203619950441. We'll be having a meeting this week - same time, same place - and we should be starting to wrap up the board painting.
In the meantime, I leave you with one of the COOLEST little videos I have seen in a long time: Lakairomania. And no, we can't try this at the school.
Skate the Gate!
Mr. Diptesh
