Suicide: A Crappy Troma Movie

Kickflip for Jesus? Separation of Church and Skate, Please.
Christianity seems to infiltrate youth culture in the strangest ways. As soon as the Born Agains get a whiff of what the kids are doin’, Jesus is doing it too. … read more

Mike Brown’s Tattoo Talk
So there was this Tattoo Convention thing a couple weeks ago. I was totally going to go, seeing how I have tattoos and all. I thought it would be cool to see other artists from different parts of the world with their different styles and accents and shit like that. … read more
