The Friday video: The Death Wish Child at the skatepark

De Brevren made this video together. #2 did the skating and the editing (with help from his big bro), #1 did the filming and because he’s The Mad Professor, somehow knows tricks to get over the YouTube audio copyright restrictions too (shhh).  I might be biased but I think it’s quite good.  Although mothers of small boys everywhere will be buttock clenchingly aware that the child is moments away...

SeaWorld and NCOD’s Kitty Yoga

So I’m off to SeaWorld today (yeeee-ha!).  While I and my five amigos are there, we will be meeting rescued manatee, screaming on roller coasters and getting drenched  by Shamu at SeaWorld, swimming with dolphins at Discovery Cove, trying out our skills as elephant keepers at Busch Gardens and whizzing down water slides at Aquatica!  But just so you don’t feel left out, I thought while I’m...

This week’s theme is Friendship. You all know I’m not a photographer.  But I am a friend.   I just couldn’t let this one go without...
