| I've got nine questions for you. Why nine? Don't ask questions. Okay. When did you get into writing music? Like poems and whatnot. Probably you. I wrote a song a long time ago by myself. But it was gay so I threw it away. But since that time we wrote that song about...ya know...I'm not going to say it. And it was funny I s'pose. Since then, I've been writing stuff just whenever. I write stuff too seriously which, I think, is annoying. I'd rather be funnier. I write lyrics too serious too, but it ends up working out for me. Who would you base your lyrics off of, like singers-wise? Well, Nirvana. And I'd like it to have a strong message. But half the time I'd base it off of Blink 182. Just half of it is based off of shit that's happening and half is talking about molesting dogs in the butt...which is funny because of my shallow sense of humor. Of course...How long have you been skating and what made you do so? You, Luke, basically everyone I hang out with, Andy Code, my neighbor. Everyone's all like, "We're gonna go skate" and I'm like, "Oh okay". I skated a little bit way back in like 3rd or 4th or 5th grade with the Kelley's. But, they got into drugs so that stopped. Then I didn't skate for like 2 year and I kinda did again. I think it's just something I do in my spare time (which is basically, all the time). So I'll be skating until I get a job. That's three questions!! Name some friends of yours and the weird shit you do.Hmm? Adam. We tend to get into trouble, light things on fire, blow stuff up, and throw fecal matter at stuff. The there's Luke, we usually skate and babble on and on about music. Then there's you, we usually skate a lot or find places to skate or talk about skating...or write songs. Then there's Vinje, who likes to film stuff with his camera. We'll usually sit in his house and watch videos until he decides he wants to go harrass Pete or shoot basketball. Then there's Porter. Well, we haven't hung out much since we got in trouble and I think his parents hate me. And my mom doesn't seem too keen of him but, whatever ya can't win 'em all. He's still cool, he's got this funny little humpy dance. Humpy dance, Josh? Yes humpy dance. Anyways, there's Schweim and Pat and Mikey. I don't hang out with Pat and Mikey as much as I do Schweim. We usually talk about music or reminisce on old times that have passed which is fun. Andy Code. We usually just drive around in his car for hours looking for places to skateboard and not much else. I have lady friends, we usually hang out and not do too much. Just hang out and get bored and watch movie or something like that. It's all fun. Are you done now? Sheesh you're quite a babbler. Aren't you s'posed to be asking me questions? Yeah yeah, keep your g-string on. So this whole Nirvana thing. When do you think it will fade out or go away? Never, that's five questions. Four by my count. That babbling remark counts. Alright fine, what is with you and those godforsaken checkers? I don't know I kinda found out about them by myself and I didn't realize it was such a freaking "punk" thing until I went to the Warped Tour which was just Checker Mania and everone loves them. I'm like, "What a cool place". And I've noticed since I've gotten into checkers, a lot of other people have in our school. It's very annoying. I'm not saying I'm like the backbone of them or anything. I just never really knew people liked them because they never showed it until like 9th freakin' grade. Oh well, y'know? Shit happens. No comment on those last few sentences. What's some personal information? My birthday is August 19th. I'm really young, like a year behind everyone- I'm only a month older than you. Exactly a month. Cool. Anyways, I live in Chaska, which is kind of boring. I'm usually in Chanhassen at other people's houses or on the internet doing what-have-you, talking to people, listenin' to music and everything. I don't know, there's not much interesting about me. I'm just kind of lame. But, whatever, that's cool I still have friends. Yeah you think you're lame, live a day in my shoes... Anyways, if you picked one quote to go by, what would it be? Yeah, dude, I rock - Steve-O, or nevermind thats' all I've got. Fascinating. What is the last CD you bought and why? Well the last three CD's I bought (all at one time) were Coheed and Cambria-the Second Stage Turbine Blade, because their music is really really good. The guy's voice is kind o flike Rush and it's just unique. Rancid's Let's go because they're pretty good. But, they gotten really mainstream since I first started listening to them. I think too many morons listen to them and don't quite know what they're about. And The Misfits' Collection 2 because they're the freaking Misfits and they rule. It's good shit, good old-fashioned, old-school punk rock. Can never go wrong with that and they're kind of creepy with all their skulls, raping people's mother's and all that nonesense. Well I thank you for nothing. Goodbye. I don't think that's nine. Oh well, I'm bored. |

| Off of Luke's deck frontflip... |
Blew up the Biffy, he and Shane Lund (an annoying midget) were playing with fireworks at Will Potthoff's get together. Shane decided he wanted to see what would happen if he stuck a lit mortar in a urinal tube of a Biffy. It exploded the Biffy and it was tilting really bad and there was shit alll over the wall and everything. After seeing it, I guess they thought no one would notice and they didn't run at all. Fat chance. The cops showed up and everyone ratted Josh out since they were his fireworks. Great friends. |
| When he.... |
Burned the books, he, Will Potthoff, Alex Vinje, Tony Porter and Adam Preiss were all together and they were filming Adam jump off a flaming ramp on a wagon and they decided to break into Edmund Eichhorn's house and stole his books. Eddy's sister gave them pop and shit. Then they went to the park like right next to his house and set them in one of those little box teeter totter things and poured gas all over it and lit it on fire. This time, they ran and fast. But, Ed's little sister called the Sheriff. |
"Broke into" the school, it was June 29th of 2004 and Tony Porter, Adam Preiss, and he were all walking around and they started looking for a ball on top of a roof. They saw an open door on the top of that roof and it just so happened that the roof they were on was a school. The cops came on a call of it and Josh and the others were pinned to the ground, handcuffed, and taken to the Chanhassen Police Station. The pinning was completely unnecessary but police always abuse their authority and shit so yeah. |
