Being happy, warm places, good music, sweaters, the freedom of my skateboard, learning more about god, sometimes i like to take photos but most of the time i'm too lazy to get my camera out, zachs miniramp, btb and the old bridge, making stuff out of wood, hats, getting stuff in the mail, i've got a ferret named roscoe - he's pretty interesting.
Music
post a song that you want me to hear or think i'd like
i love me some SHINS, iron and wine, the rolling stones, matt pond pa, kings of leon, the western states motel, old canes! the arcade fire! ben folds, bloc party, modest mouse, death cab for cutie, desaparecidos, broken social scene, stars, built to spill, lucero, cursive, smashing pumpkins, sufjan stevens, the dandy worhols, dismemberment plan, the go! team, ima robot, the killers, le tigre, michael jackson, neutral milk hotel, pedro the lion, pinback, the postal service, radiohead, rainer maria, rilo kiley, slow runner, spoon, belle and sabastian, and some other stuff. i like all sorts of music, mostly stuff that i can connect with, or songs that get me pumped to skate.
Movies
i am legend, the departed, aqua teen hunger force movie, eternal sunshine for the spotless mind, garden state, taladega nights, office space, shawshank redemption, and a lot of others. i have trouble remembering what movies i have and have not seen, i think it might be a serious problem.
Television
I wanna remember to remember to forget you forgot me, I'm gonna look out the window of my color tv. ------
I don't watch tv too much but I think of those lyrics when I think of tv. Old modest mouse is good. But if I do watch tv, I like stuff like family guy, futurama, scrubs, the office, its always sunny in philidelphia, and some other shows. Occasionally ill get sucked into a series, but not that often because I don't turn my tv on at home.
About me: ..
hmmm, about me. well, my name is shawn and i think i'm pretty easy to get along with. i'm laid back and light hearted, i like to joke around a lot whether its funny or just plain dumb. i do have a serious side to me though. i believe in jesus christ came to this world to save us, he died on the cross and rose again. i don't know where i'd be without having jesus in my life. i do not deserve what i've been blessed with, because the truth is that i don't deserve anything. i deserve hell, but because jesus died for us and covered our mistakes with his blood, i am eternally grateful and i will live my life to glorify his name. i love skateboarding. it is a great freedom to go out and skate how you want, there are no rules or expectations, its all about having fun and expressing yourself. UNTITLED Skateboards, Ergophobia Clothing, Ogio,Independent Trucks, and Autumn Ramp Park, These companies are awesome and are a reason that i am able to skate everyday, they support me so please support them. i have amazing friends. I love them all, they are apart of who i am and who ive become. i love music, if you know of some good indie bands, you better hand over your ipod. i love art, all sorts. i like making stuff with my hands, although i hardly get a chance to. but i think almost anything can be art, to me skateboarding is art. the way people choose to do their tricks, personal style, i enjoy seeing it. i'm a dork.
"So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples." John 13:34
back smith in springfield. i like brown sweaters and i like spray painting my shoes, if you have a problem with that then i'll change just for you.
Who I'd like to meet: i have met a lot of people, but there is a short list of who i actually remember. not because i didn't like who i've met, but because i have a bad memory. haha, but i'm working on it. i'd like to meet anyone who i can trade laughs back and forth with, someone who i can give my time to, people who need light in their lives, skateboarders who need to know that skateboarding isn't everything, and friends to stay up all night with running from security guards. a>you should meet these guys, they rule! click this and check the team section!
Cory Branan w/ By Hook or Crook/keatonCROOK's Bday Blackthorn Pub / Joplin, MO Sat., Sept. 6th 2008 9pm / $4 / 21+ Cory Branan is a hell of a guy, he knows more about Ghostbusters than you and writes songs that could make Chuck Lidell weep. Comparisons aside I've personally seen Cory twice now and both times he shattered expectations. This will be Cory's second trip to Joplin, the first one in mid January kind of blew his mind (from what I hear). The Blackthorn was damn near capacity and everyone was psyched. Cory's been on tour with the likes of Lucero, Drag the River(ex members of ALLand Armchair Martian) and The Whipsaws(AK). Cory has two full length albums and a seven inch under his belt that have all recieved critical acclaim and landed himspots on the Late Show and on countless podcasts and radio interviews. What people have been saying about Cory: “There’s a new breed of singer-songwriter—Ryan Adams, Bright Eyes’ Conor Oberst and now Cory Branan. ” – Rolling Stone "Intense dynamics, deep humor, brave production and heavy songwriting: A new voice emerges to run with the greats. " - Playboy "Songwriting prodigy gives John Prine a run for the money. " – Billboard "...this isn't your typical strummer. " - American Songwriter cory on youtube
