You have reached the end of our guide. If this has been of absolutely NO help to you whatsoever in finding a niche for your heels, then stay tuned next week for a free session entitled "Clicking to Cool: Methods of self-hypnosis guaranteed to have you on the other side of the fence." Coming soon.

Physics my dear Watson.

The tender balance

A halcyon midday nap was but of the contrary. This was my first glimpse at a genius working on the mathematical physics equation of WORK=PLAY.

We missed Pista because of this THRILLER IN MANILA!!!

Tita Ganda is a star.

This is Filipino culture. Any questions?

Taming a wild bunch

We recently received a couple pictures of some real folks kicking back in their World Series: Africa threads while on vay-kay down in Sandestin, FL. Showing how they do with a little JL swagger. These pics must've come before dad got viciously whip creamed and chicken feathered. What? You don't do that in your family?!

 

Just Living without a target market. Thought you knew.

 

If I was Olympic...

I'd be gawked at by women in pastel flower print threads.

 

Save the art.

 

Står til? Hva skjer a?

All good things come in threes. Or, for the less superstitious bugs out there, four. Which is where we stand with our eyes overlooking yet another thread from the provincial World Series. Norway # 3 of 5. Available today. Stay tuned cuz we're only halfway there. I mean 60%, sorry.

 

Shoot over to Threads to get yours tonight.

 

This goes out to everybody who "forgot"

We thought we were scandalous enough about reminding people but I guess sending out naked women into the streets with the night's info painted onto their bodies wasn't enough. Maybe we should've used guys also.

The evening's experience up soon.

 

Two minute hot seat with Ryan of the Bomb Shelter

Infinitasking is about adapting. During napkin-folding duties at work, I find myself doing just that as calls unanswered by cohorts ended with a call to one of the original founders and partial owner of the Bomb Shelter in Ballard, a man known to most strictly as Ryan.

Adaptation brought forth the chance at an interview. But as I would quickly find out, the questions were to be responded to by a man with a minute to share and not much more. Here's how the beans were spilled:

Who started the Bomb Shelter?

Myself, Jammer, and Leo.

Why did you decide to open a skate shop? And in Ballard of all places?

The Ballard Bowl had just opened up and there was no shop catering to the pool skating genre. So we chose a spot real close for the skaters to come hang out at whenever.

So how long have you been around?

Coming up to two years now.

What makes you stand out from the other skate shops that haven't quite put a post in the ground?

Well, we're a community core skate shop that respects our customers. If it weren't for them, where would we be? We also got a really cool spot that keeps it real.

Underground is real on the real. So are you sponsoring any skaters at the moment?

We've got a ton. Here's a few: Jesse, Max, Osterbeck, Discus, Couch*(He briefly pulls the phone away to ask a friend for any others that he might've missed from the top). Yeah.

So what is your second-half-of-the-year resolution?

Concentrating on pushing the benefit for the Marginal Way Skate Park.

Could I get a date?

Still working on it.

Come onnn..

Sometime in August.

Easy enough. So what do you think about skateboarder reality shows?

I guess it adds to the popularity of the sport, makes it more universal. But I'm no big fan of any reality show so I hate them.

That's a captain speaking for his team! Anything else you would like the world to know?

We're Washington's COREST F*CKING skate shop, hands down; A ForSkaterBySkater shop. Check us out.

Well, that's all I have for you Ryan. Thanks for taking time out for Just Living.

*Names are not accurate as this interview was conducted in less than two minutes.

Seeing and envisioning. Like ketchup and relish.

We'd all like to do more than is financially possible. Man, if I had money coming out my nostrils, I'd fund the research for a sustainable, soft-as-silk, metal-skin fabric (a la LOTR dragonscale) and create thousands of Madras-print summer shorts. If there was money left over, I'd either buy out ownership for the Seattle Sonics or a pho noodle shop. I'm leanin towards the latter because you just can't eat basketball players when you're hungry.

Cheers

Thank God It's Not Like This In Seattle.

 

Hey, let's get away!

I walked to the park to meet my friend Gary and his girl.

There we sat in requiescence when out of nowhere creeped some fellow criminales.

I couldn't hold back. I went in to exchange some stories of the inside. Safe to say, we all learned something new that day.

Keep it in the fam. Just Living all over the world.

 

Hey Kevin, nice of you to stop by.

We wrote to Kevin before the draft to ask if he had any idea where he was going. Sadly, he never wrote back. But we didn't give up. We came up with this letter of endearment from the savior himself.

 

Here's praying.

 

The fun starts with conservation

If I had driven a vehicle, would I have seen this?

 

But if I had driven a vehicle, would I have been late for work? Fuck it, live life slow. This is my shout to stop global warming... part 1.

Just Living in the Bomb Shelter - July 14th

On that night, from 6 - 9PM, JST LVG will be presenting it's grand harvested threads... to date

Keep a place for us on your calendars (and in your hearts you cuddly, wuddly bears), plan the itinerary, bring some earplugs, and join us for a not so intimate evening in Ballard's lone skate shop. Have more than your share of awesome canned food, highly-influential drinks, and digital disc entertainment within the underground walls of this cozy shelter. We will also sign autographs upon request. Don't worry, it's all free. The autographs too.

This is all I know for now. I've never had to pack for a bomb shelter getaway. I'm feeling the butterflies in my ass. More info coming soon.

 

Stay posted like a boh-de-gah,

Winin about stomach problems

We just got back from Napa Valley and I can't say much about it because heaven just seemed too real to describe. While down there, I tasted much more than just wine. I tasted blackberries, cassis flowers, lychee, and buttered lobster all within the standard international ISO, and German DIN tasting glasses. Oh, and definitely the tannins. You're missing out if ya don't taste those tannins. Mm mm.

Contrary to most beliefs, the winos showing us through their vineyards were beamingly bright and convivial people, down-to-earth on that get low status, and really just a bunch of drunks like you and me. The only real difference was their 3ct. t.w. diamond rings and Francophilian fashion sense.

If I had the absolute and ordained powers of a god, I'd go and dig up the city of San Francisco and rest it down right outside heaven's gates so that the heathens would be allowed to party like rockstars.

Ever tried to run backwards butt naked through grape fields?

Cribs: Napa Valley

Gremlins vs. Sharks: The Ultimate Aqua Battle Royale

Art historical reference says that these items are Italian furniture from the 16th Century given as gifts to the Mondavi Family by the Medici Family. Reminds me of the sidewalk furniture I used to retrieve and arrange in my apartment. From one broke ass college student to the next. That's true communal giving from the heart.

Competitive BBQ'ers don't joke. Winos should always have one on hand.

Mogwais turned gremlins. Just add water.

Pick a seat.

Please hold your bowels. I tried my best. Jaguar E-Type. Cribs got me stuck into car collections I'll never have. I'm just trying to stay humble.

The members of a Disney's musical targeted towards overworked adults.

Barrels of cab in the Opus Cellars

As seen through my eyes.

Wine stays cultured. Notice the colors of the '03 Chardonnay on the left and the '79 in the middle. The one on the right must've been from Jesus' birth. That's my guess

I swear, it was the roads.

Bringing you the experience as we see best. Just Living.

 

 

Payment Problems? No mas.

JST LVG conquered PayPal's highly confusing payment interface. There was never a doubt. We just had to stick with the nightly dose of finger-twitching hysteria. But to avail, we are now accepting your payments with plastic. Get 'er done.

New website! Just Living v.2

The countdown is over. Welcome to our new and always-improving site. Ready to serve like a middle school lunch lady. Thanks to all those who brought us back down to a bit of realness. If it weren't for you, we'd probably still be on a madhectic, outerspace starship adventure and our online presence would still be a sleeping bear. Give your eyes some candy and explore this site like a kid in a creekbed. Enjoy.

What else is new?

A big "Yo, what up R?" goes out to King Cutlass McCarlo III, the newest member of the Just Living Squadron.

To help document the hyperactive, rabid rabbit-hopping estilo de vida of JST LVG, we went in search of a proper tamed eccentric. Within seconds of lifting our Mickey's long necks, King Cutlass poked his head around the corner, smelling of pungent spoiled milk and protein shakes, and raised his crown in voluntary gesture. We knew at once that he'd be the best team addition since Sting banned with the NWO.

King Cutlass is known around the community as the unsung leader of a rebellious group of analytical philosophers and sociologists of life(group affiliation withdrawn to protect privacy). He will be sharing his outerwater experiences in, on, and concerning other focused subjects of life and living on "Words." Check it. It would be a shame to miss out on how he sees the world doing a gymnastic backflip by 2020.

Just Living can headspin, too.
