I haven't posted pictures here in ages. I'm trying something new. I think I like the way it works better. I'm posting photos at jessekees.tumblr.com instead of here.

i wouldn't worry about it

2009-09-14T20:09:00.000-07:00

fletcher and i just started a blog together. iwouldntworryaboutit.tumblr.com

i got that thing for a dollar. i've been taking more pictures with it, but haven't developed too much film yet, which explains why there have been fewer posts. also, the bummedstoked camera is blowing it. it won't focus right. hence the busted quality of photos.

that dude lunged at me right when i snapped this.

matt cronin threw a banana peel at tyler's car, who was following close behind us. soon after, tyler got a star and passed us up.

i wrote that song going real fast. smart.

here are the first sxsw pictures. they are all from jasper's house, which is where we slept with ten other people every night we were there. jasper is the illest dude. i came back from austin feeling a resparked flame of wanting to live there. when i ponder why that flame got resparked, i mostly just think it's because jasper is rad. thanks jasper. once i fuck with tyler's negative scanner there will be photos from places other than this living room.

and back home, michael displays my fine art forever.

these things, they happen so fast (it takes a long time).

2009-02-25T12:37:00.000-08:00

Just jump into the picture.

Maybe the reflection

from the glass

is preventing me from

splashing in the tiny ocean.

If I turn out the lights,

there will be less reflection.

However, swimming at night is scary

way out there.

I'll wait until I'm older.

i'm not usually that stoked when i go skate lafayette, but nunez came through as the ill tour guide.

here's a little edit from the baton rouge bmx heads on the first day of
their annual expedition. the bmx crew around here holds it down a
lot harder than the skateboard crew, but we're all homies, so that's
rad. anyways...here's some bmx dudes from here and some bmx
dudes from out of town. there's a little clippy of me skating their
ramp somewhere in there too. peep TBCparty.com on the frequent
to be up on their missions and whatnot.

Bromance

2009-01-07T09:57:00.000-08:00

Ryan, Coach Moore, Nunez, and I went on a mission to Florida. I never broed down too much with Nunez before this trip, so it was good having him along. I kind of forgot how being a weird dude and a skateboarder makes it really easy to get along with other weird dude skateboarders. Some of these are Ben Moore photos. Most of them are me using Ben's camera because my battery died. Hence the better looking photos.

ryan and nunez not getting in wrecks

chris coogan rips. he also kind of got my ID taken one time, which led to me spitting on a door guy, which led to me not going to this bar anymore, which led to me not drinking as much. thanks chris. obviously a ben moore photo.

alex pulled this pick and it sounded like fucking tampa am bangers and shit. mad yelling from the floridians at the plus TF that rolled like 25 deep. also ben moore photo.

then we crashed at keith's pad. ultimate skate nerd wonderpad.

P-cola sucks way harder than BR, but they still got the ill slab spots.

before we rolled out, ryan and I got 5-year old lefthanded retard tats.

bumming and stoking in no particular order

2009-01-03T09:23:00.000-08:00

i can't find the battery for my digital camera. i just found a red v-5 in the couch. i love bali shag again. my car was searched the other day because i'm a scruffy-looking young lad. it's raining. frontside airs at the bike ramp. skate homies are perma-homies. tusk. I just took my third poo of the day at 11:35 a.m., which isn't too weird for me. on new years eve, a peripheral homie and a good homie's dad both died. at the show that followed, panthalassa and you and me got faces were amazing. billy johnson is still the most perfect living thing in the known universe. barry manilow's "the greatest songs of the eighties" is sitting on the coffee table. i don't think i'm going to work at all in january. i will see fletcher in a few days.

apparently, thirty to forty people per year are killed in japan by these things. just one of them could fuck you up with it's skin-melting spit, which usually winds up in the eyes, but they spray a pheromone that calls up all their boys to come fuck you up too. usually, they just fuck up some bees though.

my friends and i like to go to art events that the city has to offer. when we show up, we find the wine and chill until it's gone or someone pulls the old matt barry maneuver: drink so much that you aren't embarrassed when you embarrass yourself because you're so drunk

blur status was in full effect. maybe that's just my steeze.

this was originally posted on the old bummed, stoked (www.jesseplusbuilding.blogspot.com), but i wanted to change the url to bummedstoked.blogspot.com. make sense? word. there was also a video in there somewhere. i'll put it on later. i forgot to bring my camera usb connector cable thingy to work. that last sentence just reminded me that i work with computers all day and do fairly complicated things with them, but i still call technological accessories the dumbest names because i don't know what any of the shit is called...except the dongle. fucking right, i know what a dongle is.

the other day, my friend miles got married in portland. i went there and it was fun.

ben came and picked me up from the max. i never broed down with this fool that much when he lived in baton rouge, but now he's one of my favorite people to hang out with.

jordan works at the ill vegan deli spot.

these folks made me feel like a family member...except that i would probably do it with each one of them. whatevs.

i'm fairly certain i punched matt barry in the face that night after he climed on top of a traffic light. no bigs.
