Escapism is mental diversion by means of entertainment or recreation, as an "escape" from the perceived unpleasant aspects of daily stress. It can also be used as a term to define the actions people take to try to help relieve feelings of depression or general sadness.

I just watched Alter Egos since I bought the BSB Filmworks Greatest Hits.

Here is was Jere self says about that video:

jerkki wrote:About Alter Egos, it's a full-length (45minutes) freestyle video featuring many players from all the biggest freestyle countries. Young Vasek Klouda has his own section and there is also a chapter of the notorious Worlds 2000 Night Jam at Vancouver. This chapter shows Ahren Gehrman, Chad Devlahovich, Peter Irish and Ryan Mulroney busting huge combos on the carpet of the host hotel.

It's a pretty sick video actually. Juho's part is cool because he is so young.
Felix part and Vasek part is cool because they where already so hardcore.
It's funny how much better the players in this sport has gotten. People freak out about the new Blurry Whirl record (7) and today it's like 35?
But there is still some very cool stuff - like Whirr > Blurrage from Chad.

You should buy the entire the DVD - it's only 5 euros!

Now I wanna shred.

Also I was out filming for the skate/shred/graffiti/party video project yesterday.
And we are going out to film again today. If we can get enough footage before winter comes. I think it gonna be siiick.

Today: Filming > Hanging out > Barbeque > Hiphop Jam

Should be a good weekend.

Hello my friends.

Friday was alot of fun.
First I was out filming with my buddy Tejs. We got some good skating on film so that was awesome.
But the really cool thing was to walk around and check out places of my childhood city that I had never seen before.
After that I met up with my man Gordi. Ate some food and talked about old times.
Alot of beers later we went to this hiphop jam which sucked.
My wallet got stolen but next day it had been thrown in through my letter box.
I think my credit card is closed and 40 dollars was missing though.
Have to talk with my bank tomorrow. Bummer.

Next day I went to Copenhagen with my girlfriend.
And she bought me this book: http://shop.juxtapoz.com/detail.php?id=244

And a new pair of pants as a delayed birthday gift.
After that we went to a great indian restuarant.
At night we went with her older brother to some apartment and saw soccer and drank Daiquiris (sp?). Shitty match but it was pretty cool.

Today my girlfriend went to Prague for a 4 day trip.
Her dad is down there doing some business stuff.
Vasek has promised her to show her Prague. That's pretty cool.

So that's my weekend. Pretty boring for you all to read about.

I convinced my mom that I should get a macbook. I self have to pay it but over time. So that's really cool.
I will first start editing all the cool video projects I have planned when I get this.

My littlebrother build a graffiti wall in our garden so I gonna start practicing that a little.

Andrew Jeffrey Wright is an awesome artist: www.andrewjeffreywright.com

I MISS YOU ALL! ALSO YOU WHO I HAVE NOT MET!

KiIIIiizZZZZZeeeZZzzzz!!!!!

Just before worlds ( on the 08/08/08 ) there was the first ever footbag jam in my town.
The event was cordinated with the youth day of the "Svendborg Celebration Week".
Other than a footbag show there will be a skate contest, graffiti, concerts and much more.
Alot of people showed up and great times where had. Lot of fun footbag action during the day and great afterparty at night that continued till the sun got up.
I got some photos that I wanna share with you:

I saw a great movie yesterday!

It's called 2046 and is chinese.
The story line is as follows:
He was a writer. He thought he wrote about the future but it really was the
past. In his novel, a mysterious train left for 2046 every once in a while.
Everyone who went there had the same intention.....to recapture their lost
memories. It was said that in 2046, nothing ever changed. Nobody knew for
sure if it was true, because nobody who went there had ever come back-
except for one. He was there. He chose to leave. He wanted to change.
I am sucker for asian post modern romance at the moment (Like the books of Haruki Murakami).

What really made this movie awesome was the beautiful pictures.
Like every shot was just mesmerizing.

Trailer:

I gonna stop posting shred highlights in here unless it's a big milestone.
I will try do more blog videos instead.

I've been bumping into him once in a while.
He is mentioned in this great book I have on modern comics and I watched Art School Confidential and kinda liked it.
So I got Ghost World at the library today and so far I have read 16 pages.
And I like it!
Thanks for the recommendation.

You're blog really makes me want to draw a lot more! I neeed to! But I have to set aside like 3 hours if I'm actually gonna do something good and enjoy it and I can't find that time right now but I'm gonna do my best.

Your blog also makes me want to get my shit together in other areas of life too for some reason.

Regardless, keep posting and keep posting pics too. I liked that one in your flickr of your wall with all your drawings.

Thanks man!

You know you could by any of these for 5 to 10 dollars + shipping. Interested?

I found some very sick shred shorts the other day.
They are tight but super stretchy and are just aswesome to kick in.
Best thing is: I found them in my own closet.

If I were rich I would totally buy this amazing limited edition screen print:

Buy it and watch process images here: http://www.thedecoderring.com/shop/prints/?id=32650&p=1
I'm so in love with it.

I hit Pixie Kneebump Mouth Catch with a grape yesterday.

Hey Marco and Mosh!
And thanks for the kind words about my blog both of you.

Marco: It was so funny when the polish guys where playing at the hostel, doing big tricks and we came and did stupid tricks. They didn't think it was funny but we sure did!

This week I am writing a paper on what miliblogs means for the news coverage of the Iraq War and what it means for the soldies themselves.
Interesting stuff. Only problem is that it can only be 2 pages long. I could write 20 if I had to.

I played footbag at our school with Tommy the other day.
We only played for 40 minutes and then switched over to play some soccer.
I played decent in both disciplines and hope to start playing more soccer before the winther really comes.

I am pretty sure I gonna take a two week break from modified from next monday. Gonna be interesting.

I have so many ideas for paintings. I hope I got time to do a bunch next week.

I need to practice my drawing and my ability to talk about art (my own art and others).

FOOTBAG!

Lise is on the danish version of "USA/Australia/Whatever Got Talent" in Denmark it's just called Talent 2008.

Here is her first performance:
