A place that is not loved by us that enjoy the lazy days summer. We all see it as a necessary step of life but never really take the time to question why. We see it as a benefit to our lives, but never step back to see the positive effects it has on us. I speak from the deepest levels of my personal feeling when I say this, I believe the academic part of my school life to have been completely worthless.</p> <p> </p> <p>I graduated from my high school in 2004, and every year that has passed I see more and more how the experiences I had with my friends in those years have molded me into a person I am proud to be today. I wasn't a bad student, but the restrictive nature of a public education just isn't something I can look back on and feel proud of. What I can feel proud of is the adversity I have overcome by constantly challenging convention. Learning to convince teachers it wasn't I who had swore, or cops it wasn't me who was drunk may have not been the best thing for my life at the time. But in all honesty, if I wasn't forced into those situations in my teenage years I would not be able to manage the adversity life throws at me on a daily basis nearly as well today.</p> <p> </p> <p>The purpose of this short article is two fold. The first is to let my readers know that I'm not some machine finding cool products and writing about them. I'm a person just like you. I've had run ins with the cops, I've gotten hammer drunk, and I've woken up not knowing where I was more times than you could believe.</p> <p> </p> <p>The second, and most important reason, is that if you live your life honestly with yourself you'll do ok in the end. Doing well in school is just one of many routes to success. Live life within your limits, but constantly push those limits to expand your horizons. You don't need to answer to your parents in the end, you don't need to answer to your teachers, you don't need to answer to god, you need to answer to yourself. If you live your life truly believing this, you will live a very, very full life.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Be true. Be Good. Be Happy.</strong></p> <p> </p> <p>-Andrew</p> Andrew Flynnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00369293333688504008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012995507548283303.post-7927418270726493982008-07-25T12:04:00.001-04:002008-07-25T12:04:05.843-04:008 Best Skateboard Wheel Companies<p>Not only is creativity shown through skateboard deck designs, but its also displayed through other parts as well, like the wheel. </p> <p> </p> <p>Skateboard wheels are commonly made from polyurethane and come in many different shapes and sizes due to the different types of skating. Smaller wheels (48-54 mm) keep the board closer to the ground and allow street skaters to pull off tricks easier. Larger wheels (65-90 mm) roll faster which is perfect for vert skaters. Design is also important because it adds a sense of individuality to a skater. </p> <p> </p> <p>The following is a list of 8 companies that have taken skateboard wheel designs to a whole new level.</p> <p> </p> <h4>Almost Skateboard Wheels</h4> <p><img height="125" alt="Almost Skateboard Wheels" src="http://inventorspot.com/files/images/July 24th - Almost Wheels.img_assist_custom.JPG" width="400" /> </p> <h4>Chocolate Skateboard Wheels</h4> <p><img height="125" alt="Chocolate Skateboard Wheels" src="http://inventorspot.com/files/images/July 24th - Chocolate Wheels.img_assist_custom.JPG" width="400" /> </p> <h4>Darkstar Skateboard Wheels</h4> <p><img height="125" alt="Darkstar Skateboard Wheels" src="http://inventorspot.com/files/images/July 24th - Darkstar Wheels.img_assist_custom.JPG" width="400" /> </p> <h4>Enjoi Skateboard Wheels</h4> <p><img height="125" alt="Enjoi Skateboard Wheels" src="http://inventorspot.com/files/images/July 24th - Enjoi Wheels.img_assist_custom.JPG" width="400" /> </p> <h4>Filmore Skateboard Wheels</h4> <p><img height="125" alt="Filmore Skateboard Wheels" src="http://inventorspot.com/files/images/July 24th - Fillmore Wheels.img_assist_custom.JPG" width="400" /> </p> <h4>Gold Skateboard Wheels</h4> <p><img height="125" alt="Gold Skateboard Wheels" src="http://inventorspot.com/files/images/July 24th - Gold Wheels.img_assist_custom.JPG" width="400" /> </p> <h4>Mystery Skateboard Wheels</h4> <p><img height="125" alt="Mystery Skateboard Wheels" src="http://inventorspot.com/files/images/July 24th - Mystery Wheels.img_assist_custom.JPG" width="400" /> </p> <h4>Spitfire Skateboard Wheels</h4> <p><img height="125" alt="Spitfire Skateboard Wheels" src="http://inventorspot.com/files/images/July 24th - Spitfire Wheels.img_assist_custom.JPG" width="400" /> </p> <p> </p> <p>Which company do you think makes the best <strong>skateboard wheel designs</strong>?

But what does it mean, and how important is it when you’re choosing what to eat or wear?</p> <p>Organic means products that have been grown without pesticides, herbicides or artificial fertilizers, and have been processed without additives (if they need any processing at all). If the word is applied to meat or dairy products, it means that the animals involved have been fed organic food, and have not been given antibiotics or growth hormones. The Wikipedia entry on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_food">organic food</a> is quite good.</p> <p>There are many environmental benefits to growing crops and raising animals this way:</p> <ul> <li>it reduces pollution: organic farms don’t release pesticides and herbicides into our soil and waterways, where they can harm animals (including us!) or accumulate over the years. </li> <li>it creates healthier eco-systems, as organic farming methods allow a more diverse population of insects, small animals, and non-crop plants, when compared to the monoculture you get when you spray chemicals intended to kill any plants and animals except the crop. </li> <li>it’s a less energy-intensive method, with less need for processing and packaging for chemicals. </li> <li>it reduces our reliance on fossil-fuels by using natural fertilizers, since artificial fertilizers are petroleum-based. </li> </ul> <p>The jury still seems to be out on whether there are any health benefits to eating organic food. It’s the kind of research that will take decades, as we wait to see long-term effects on people, but so far the results look good. A <a href="http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/86972.php">large study by the European Union</a> showed that organic foods had larger quantities of anti-oxidants and other micro-nutrients. Personally, I prefer to reduce the amount of pesticides going into and onto my body wherever possible. With clothes the cotton is actually a higher quality softer fiber, that's just a fact. My philosophy is <strong>if you can do better, then why not?</strong></p> Andrew Flynnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00369293333688504008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012995507548283303.post-16259602994730605162008-07-23T10:45:00.001-04:002008-07-23T10:45:17.833-04:00Rubber Duck- Julia Shoe<p><a title="Rubber Duck- Julia Shoe" href="http://tinyurl.com/rubber-duck-julia-shoe" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img height="310" alt="Rubber Duck- Julia Shoe" src="http://www.karmaloop.com/Vendor/RUB/zoom/JULIA-SCRF-RDzoom1.jpg" width="200" align="left" /></a>These kind of remind me of the <a title="Toms Shoes" href="http://youringredient.blogspot.com/2008/02/toms-shoes-cool-shoes.html">Toms Shoes</a> that I introduced to you a few weeks ago.

While this may not mean much quality wise in the end product, it does say a lot about the quality of the company and the people who run. Who would you rather support, the company slaving little Malaysian children away, or the company going the extra mile to make sure their products are made with respect and love? I'd much rather support the latter. Which is why everyone should go buy these new limited edition New Balance M576's, available now for $99.</p> <p><a title="New Balance M576" href="http://tinyurl.com/new-balance-m576" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">New Balance M576</a></p> Andrew Flynnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00369293333688504008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012995507548283303.post-53781045359497304352008-07-23T09:35:00.001-04:002008-07-23T09:35:54.594-04:00Nixon Capital Automatic Watch<p><a title="Nixon Capital Automatic Watch" href="http://tinyurl.com/nixon-capital" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img height="256" alt="Nixon Capital Automatic Watch" src="http://www.karmaloop.com/vendor/NIX/A089000-BLKmd.jpg" width="200" align="left" /></a> </p> <p>Just a small step down from the <a title="Nixon Zillamatic" href="http://youringredient.blogspot.com/2008/07/nixon-zillamatic-watch.html">Zillamatic</a> the Nixon Capital is a bargain for the quality of its construction.
