Tonight I was almost jumped by nine guys. My board was taken from behind my back and stomped. The kid that was stomping it has to weigh a good 215, he was always vocal about how bad our wood sucked, yet it took him over 5 stomps to even crack it. The good thing about this is I now figured out the perfect way to lay wood grain in a board to support a 215 pound guy trying to focus it. I didn't lose anything. I got a whole complete sitting beside me that I am about to put together.

The point is, I got to test something out that was new and he doesn't even know it. On the bad side, he broke a good board. I was just breaking that one in good. One was there, an ex-eam rider. He was just this kid that skated at a local park we saw potential in and gave his first shot at everything to. He was one of the guys there to jump me too. Before that, he had our entire site and webmail erased. I cannot understand these people. They are filled with so much hate, ignorance and ugliness. Their souls are filled in darkness.

Yet, it is three in the morning and I have called all team riders and told them that the new site is going to be up really soon, making sure they are taken care of. Compiling lists of companies helping America out economically and at the same time my head feels collapsed still trying to comprehend why such hate is inside people. These are going to be the guys leading America someday, that scares the HELL out of me. You know one of them honestly said "I don't give a shit if America collapses, people line up for these jobs overseas! IfAmerica goes down, I'll move there and make the skateboards and skate."

They almost scare me as bad as the really homo-erotic emails _____ from ______ of _______ replies back to me with. Anyway, I never backed down though, nine against one. I knew I wasn't going to win. But, I wasn't going to let them scare me, try to take me down, try to hurt Unity. My integrity wouldn't allow it. They would have got me, but I would have gotten at least three, maybe four! During our cussing matches I said God forgive you for what you are to this human race. It wasn't until later that I realized, even in a blacked out rage, I still asked for them to be forgiven. A beautiful man from Galile said once: "A man will be defined by himself, his actions, his beliefs...and what I truly see" I escape in those words. That one day, not just myself, but no one has to feel and go through what I had to tonight. What a beautiful day it will be, when all brothers and sisters are living together in Unity."
