I know you like my style!!

Welcome to the inaugural edition of my blog. I have been meaning to do this for quite some time now but I have been just a bit too complacent with the progression of things in my life. Don't get it twisted, I am definitely on my hustle but haven't been thinking big enough and fear of failure has had me immobilized for some time now. Time to break the chains and this is as good a point as any to start. I am going to skip the "let's get to know me" introduction and go straight to letting you get to know me. I'll say right now my thoughts and viewpoints here are my thoughts and should not be taken as coming from Bustin Boards. If you don't like what I say and feel the need to bash someone feel free to bash me. I just had titanium skin implants so it won't bother me much. I would compare it to be tickled, it's amusing and sometimes annoying but always harmless.

Now to what I've been up to lately. I have always been fascinated and drawn to the craft of acting. When I look at movies and shows I am more wondering what the actor is thinking or why that scene was included rather than what is actually going on in the film. I usually have the movie or show figured out well before the end anyway. So with my work schedule allowing me lots of free time while living this dream I figure I would use this time to follow my dreams. Following this path I was cast on two HBO shows this past week as an extra, "How to make it in America" and a new series called "Girls". Both gigs happened to be party scenes and I have enjoyed every minute of it! On the first show I ran into Adam Crigler's old roommate Will Tully and it was no surprise he had a board with him, Bustin of course. Connecting with Tully was the best thing that could have happened for us, we both kept ourselves and others entertained. The highlight of the first show for me was is between a scene joking with Kid Cudi and having him pass us his joint...which turned out to be fake. I left that show around 7 in the morning and skated the Williamsburg Bridge home for literally a couple hours of sleep. I woke tired but excited for the Central Park Race and somehow managed to place fourth before being burned out for the rest of the weekend. Good times.

On Tuesday I started shooting this other show which involved a Brooklyn hipster party scene. Wow! Take all the "crazy" types that you see on the streets of NYC and put them in a concentrated area and you have one hell of a party. The party scene was fake but the fun was real, especially off set. What was made even more clearly apparent was that all the people we generally call crazy, weird, flashy or even cocky are the "real" people. I met so many people that were awesomely talented and different  but above all that they were super comfortable with being themselves. It has been inspiring. And then there's the whole sex crazed young and having fun aspect...that has been a lot of fun to watch. Beautiful women with minimal clothing and a surplus of guys more than willing to chase after them. Of course I enjoy the scenery but I like to think if she wants it she'll let me know. And if she doesn't have the balls to be real about that then she definitely isn't getting mine. Ha! Seriously though I'm having lots of fun. I spend most of my time skating and giving lessons and I'm getting payed for it. I was cast as a skater and spend my time on and off camera exactly how I do every other day, sweaty and topless. What a life! Now many of these "hipsters" are excited about skating! And based on me asking the same questions of quite a few of these guys I have decided to take a few classes, mostly on acting technique. I've gotten some good reviews of HB Studios, let's see how this turns out. Stoked!

Enough talking! Here are a few pictures I've snapped from my phone. My life. Your entertainment.

Oh!!! I almost forgot to add this last video. The lady in this video was one of my favorite talents and all the hooping she has done has given her an amazing body(come on, it's me here, you know I had to throw that in). She and other hoopers on set made the sport look effortless. Many sat around and was mesmerized by their grace and flow. I have already watched this multiple times myself and am hoping she will trade hula lessons for skate lessons from me. Jami you are awesome!

Stay Skatin'!
