VIA AND ME….

POSTED November 21, 2009 BY Jef Choy

I remember when I first started posting on this site, there were moments when it wasn’t that easy.  Bob would do his best to explain the program to me but I had a tough time getting my mind wrapped around what he was saying…

‘You  mean I can’t post: “Who even LIKES Patchouli?”  or “Why this store is the anti-christ?”  ”What do you mean I have to say something nice about a place or I can’t post it? FFF.. Whatever dude..I’ll find something else to post about.”

Well, after over a year of posting I’m getting the hang of it, as a person, I think my negativity has been replaced with just being tortured.  It’s been a journey.

I’ve found really AWESOME things in some pretty unlikely places, which leads me back to Beckwoman’s.

While I was getting my outfit together for SKATE OR DIE, one of the key pieces was a Spicoli poncho.  Though I was really mixed up inside, I knew where I had to go, and I gotta come correct.  The lady who worked there was really cool…she cut me a deal and the place actually smelled kinda nice….as I was looking in the mirror trying on my poncho I realized…people need ponchos….people need Beckwoman’s… I need Beckwoman’s…..

So here’s to silver linings, sometimes you find ‘em…sometimes they find you……and if I can buy something from somewhere as far fetched as this place…..maybe you can spare a few sheckles…..

Please give…..
