"You turn around and life's passed you by"

Its passed me by again...30 years of my life have passed by, I can't remember every last one of them but know that I've missed a couple of chances due to fear. We all have fears and all deal with them in different ways. I have a lot of things I regret doing and a lot more I regret not doing but, the past is exactly what it is...the past, I'll take the memories and make the best of them chapter by chapter in this book I call my life.
Could've, should've, and would've have been beating the shit out of me for sometime now, I'm kinda over hanging out with them. "Killing it while blowing it", and "Always winning, while constantly losing" are two characterizations that portray this Captains journey pretty well thus far.
This song/video hit the nail on the head...


"it's a mournful cry about growing old and life passing by in a flash, but at the same time it’s also about embracing change and letting go of a youth that is no longer yours. Yup, treasure the memories with all your heart but don’t hold on to them too tightly or they'll consume you. Accept the inevitable and grow old graciously." I'm just tryin' to breath fam, sometimes it's easier than others...

"Ice Ice Baby"

Whoot Whoot, whatchya'll know about "adult snow days?" That's right nothin', cause we made these a reality! Ice storm 08' in and around Albany had 170,000 homes and business' without power. The shop being one of em. Well an ill bunch decided to start fading at 10 a.m. which I'm definately about...The bar opened at 11 and dudes couldn't see straight by 1 p.m. So all in all I'd say it was a success. Burdface award goes to "Devon the dude" 10 hours straight with no food or break...I love watching people get cut off, Mosca came out at 7 and came in a close second with the 3 hour fade to retard status under the belt once again. Who's challenging the belt tonight?!!!!!


Dave got so drunk he thought he worked at bombers, dude was washing his own shot glasses...

"Oh won't you come out tonight"

I won't let it get me down...

30 is the new 21. Come celebrate Dave and I officially joining the AARP. Dave doesn't leave the house on his birthday so we're sharing the night.
Saturday 12/13 9p.m.
$1 cans
Madison Grille

All are invited. I think those who aren't know who they are.
Ya'll bitches ready to fade!

"Some will win, some will lose"

This all-star cast doesn't lose. From the first cinnamon roll to start the weekend out, to the last one Sunday evening upon leaving each other, we didn't lose. We won so hard that a house full of dudes had to challenge the title in the middle of the street and bottles were smashed, fist were thrown, and shit was talked, and of course we came out on top.




Thanks to everyone for drinking beers from the time we woke up til the time we passed out. Demal for the non-stop comedy, Armin for putting me up and the entire Boston crew for an epic weekend, winning is too graceful for all of us.

"I still can travel but my speed is changed"

Going to "title town" aka Boston for the weekend, only thing on my agenda is visiting

during the day on Staurday, and then everyone should also come out Saturday night for this

Don't be like Matt and blow it...

"The apple of my eye had a Snapple and some fries"

Yo fam on this day 29 years ago one of the most precious creatures was delivered by the sun, the moon, and the Earf. Happy Birthday to the beautiful creature known as Jeremy Smith! Also known as Gyro, Angel Hands, fam, babe, Pah, and that dude with all the shine. It's your day fam.

These 2 want in on the BFF festivities, and could use some of your shine pah...

"What would you think if I sang out of tune?"

The last 5 days have been nothing short of mythical. So good to see everyone home, and to have most of the BFF in one city for a weekend, talk about triptifam. JC thank you for the photos, Suz thank you for the homemade granola and congrats on the promotion! Damon we're going to win, Lynch fucking kills it! My beard looks like someone's pubic region from the 80's...

Boatwright, do you think I'm pretty?

"Visualizing the realism of life and actuality"

"What you need to do is be thankful for the life that you got. Stop lookin' at what you ain't got, and start bein' thankful for what you do got."


Trev, Mitch, and I woke up this morning and went down to the Plaza, stood in line for an hour an a half and got 19 meals from equinox and dropped them off to people who might not have a Thanksgiving otherwise. It feels good knowing your small contribution of time and effort can go so far for your local community and those less fortunate living within it. I look forward to volunteering or helping those who may not be able to help themselves during the holiday season, and whenever else possible during the regular year.
I'd like to thank Trev and Mitch for killing it, it was fun as much as it was helpful. Everyone else who volunteered today, book kid, and everyone at Equinox for making shit happen.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

"Sunday Bloody Sunday"

Had an epicly "lazy Sunday" yesterday...slept until 1pm, met some babefamfaders for "suicide Sunday" on ye ol stool, bacon cheeseburgers, beers, cheese fries, Preston dancing, beers, ranch, painkillers, and more beers. Special thanks to J.C. for coming out, I love it when a lady eats a cheeseburger gets me so hyped, I don't know why.

I want it as bloody as you can make it.

Hickey...ya blew it!

"Brighter than sunshine"

This one goes out to my Lil man, Preston Noble Lucas. This beautiful lil creature has taken a better piece of this cynical heart. He is my nephew/godson of sorts not by blood, but all heart. I've seen more of Preston in his year and a half on Earth than I have my
nephew who's going on 4. Lil sweet comes in the shop and kicks it like no other, he's my favorite guest. This kid has smiles for miles and is the raddest lil human I've met he's killing it harder than most. Him and Mabel will make the cutest couple ever, I'll make it happen in a couple years.


Enjoi the snow fam, there's plenty more where that came from...

"I've got some things on my mind"

This song describes the mind state I've been in lately to a tee. These dudes are sick, and I can't wait to see them live. I guess one of the members is from Albany which is semi-rad. I don't look like the lead singer do I? Someone's said that and I ain't hearin' it. My old room mate also said I look like "the white Tyrese", that shit sucked. I'm workin the shop the next 3 days open to close, beers in the fridge...let's do this!

"No digity"

The pic is a silent conversation upon arriving to my bar stool partner before telling each other how pretty we are.

"Same time, same place"...There's nothing like getting the same txt everyday from the same amazing person who knows what you go through in your everyday of trying to forget about the past, live in the present, and not think too hard about the future. There are only a phew that know the struggle I live, I'm glad there babefamfaders.

xo Fam xo

"I found out long ago"

"It's a long way down the holiday road"...but a short ride to Brooklyn never hurt the soul. Good weekend with the babefam and the crew. This shit needs to happen more often than not.

Uhh...this is Nick, from your crew.

Ya'll skate? Massimo and C.Rapp tryin to get the Spitfire incentive.

Babetron?

Clickity clack 4,5,who!?!

Matt Damon

Deertick was sick! Hyped Bova came down, glad Suz came out, and big thanks to Nick Ace and Allie for traveling all the way out to BK to see the fam. Massimo, Bova, and Nick ya'll fade right! 712 Brooklyn!
babefam xo

"Today was a good day"

This kid fucking kills it.

Shit was rad 125,000 at Grand park showin' love for Obama, and in Arizona there were 34 people booing when his name was mentioned by second best and his sidekick, that type of ignorance is priceless. I'm welcoming Obama to the Babefamfade family...get burded fam!

"It was always burning"

"Since the worlds been turning"...

Holy fuck, could you imagine!?! Drink wine and take pain pills and you'll dream like this too!
