New ways of thinking and being.

Good morning world!
I am currently starting to read a book called QBQ it's all about asking the right questions and taking initiative in my own life and my work life. Business is key to success. You don't know how to run things you will forever be walking in someone else's shadow doing work that is always just satisfactory never above and beyond. Idk what this book will bring me but knowledge of new views on how to talk and possibly think. But I hope for the best. Change is always something that creates new opportunity and new ways of thinking. Can't complain about that. Progressing in life is all I thrive for. To take one step forward n no steps back is what I wish my life would be like but come on now let's be realistic life always has its up and downs. Anyways, hope some of you check out the great book of QBQ and the knowledge it brings to be a better person and a better worker. Btw have a great fucking Friday, and an amazing weekend!

Yours Truly,

PS:
Try to ask the right questions, such as what can I do? And what is it I put on the table for others? It's about taking responsibility and offering a hand even when you don't want to or have to do so.

Pre winter rant!

What a long day been up since 5:30am n working till now no breaks, no relaxing, no food or coffee! Fml. K well I survived! Guess I can't bitch that much. Does anyone else wanna sacrifice a left nut or a first born child for it to be Friday right now!? I do. Sorry I'm so out there but fuck has it been a long day of bullshit. Some people need to know to shut the fuck up and just work. We dont give a fuck about your weekend, we don't care about your religious fuckin views we just want to get the day done and get paid! Now that I have said all that. Sorry.

So today I woke up in a wonderful mood thinking of how I will entertain myself this winter. Last year I literally just caused shit not even on purpose but I think it was cause I was so annoyed n dead without skateboarding. I call it snow blind insanity. Just makes me become a
Mental terrorist if you will let me
Call it that lol. I piss people off until the snow melts and the sidewalks are finally dry enough to ride on. Then back to the life I love and enjoy. It's funny though cause alot of people are like fuck just go snowboarding. Yeah well it's not that easy, yes snowboarding helps. But fuck no I can't just go through my board down outside n shred pow lol. It's nothing like skateboarding. It last the time I'm rippin and that's it. Skateboarding anytime of the day anywhere except fucking winter!!!! I hope to god I'm not stuck here next winter.

Halloween is coming!

Good morning world!
I'm feeling a bit better today after yesterday's misfortune. Hope your all having a good week. Hmmm... What to talk about today?... Got it!

So this Halloween I actually decided to pre plan costumes with some friends! You will never guess what awesome idea we all had. We have ordered some pretty epic morph suits! For this of you who don't know what they are, google or YouTube that shit. Straight up the coolest things ever. But ours are even more awesome than the plain regular version. We ordered some old school original power rangers morph suits! Heck yes! I may have just dated myself. But fuck it I'm not that old! I chose the black one! Just seemed ninja like lol. Anywho they should be here in the mail soon. Can't wait to make a skate video in mine!

Anyways, happy hump day! I mean Wednesday! If you got a cool costume don't be afraid to share it through tweet or comment post! Thanks for listening and being apart of my random morning blabber. Hopefully tomorrow I got more to say.

Yours Truly,
Corey Smith

Fuck this sucks!

Good afternoon world!
Well I atleast hope yours is better than mine. Woke up sick as can be then went to the bathroom to piss fucking blood. All because I sacked myself trying a 270 nose blunt last night in the garage. Bloody hell I just hope it goes away n I start feeling less like garbage. Anyways, got not much to say today. But I'm gonna go lay down n ponder the thoughts of the woman in my life...

Enjoy the rest of your day and remember don't hurt yourself so bad you pee blood.

Missing the road.

I woke up today missing tour, I just know that's the life that makes me happy. Waking up every morning first thing is skating. Like your not just a person strolling through a life you don't know how you ended up in. You wake up feeling so chill and happy. Somedays stoked, somedays just in a haze of awesome. The peace and the insanity are two things that make me love the life that comes with being a skater. The family you build in a team is something more powerful than any sports team or roomate relationship. Those are the people that push you to move up and hold you from falling back. Miss my bros and the days we spent on the road. I wish for one week I could share the feeling, the passion that comes with the travels and experiences we live through. One day I will make this my life day by day. Never leave my board behind. But today I just go and ride to remember the time and enjoy what I love most. I have to say the two company's I skate for have changed my life and I will never go back to just the ordinary. Thanks, RIOT & Rockstar!

Be there, don't walk away!

Good morning world!
So this weekend I really learned what it is to be there for someone. And I'm not talking about late night booty call type thing. My friend had her bf break up with her. I know what your all thinking, go for the goal!!! No sorry that's not what's on the agenda for this blog post today. I learned that no matter what if you stand up for your friends and be that shoulder you win. The key is to know that the satisfaction of all that you do is happiness and helpfulness.

I spent my weekend drinking with her and going out dancing, which surprisingly I had fun dancing with her.. Anyways, although It was tuff not being dragged into the emotional hole such things bring, after all that we did I realize now I have one of the most amazingly beautiful and awesome friends. That's new to me these days. I grew up having women raise me. Then I spent my whole life chasing and hunting them for fun times, as well as relationships. That was my fuel of my youth. But then again what guy isn't like that. Fucking horn dogs we can be.

Anyways, all I can hope is that through this I helped her cheer up and see the bright side to things. Positivity is key to keeping someone from falling in that ruff whole of darkness. But as I did this I couldn't help think who's gonna be there when and if I ever fall into brokenness. But then I had the realization that it's those who we stand and walk with through the ruff times, that will stand beside us during our hardest moments.

I hope after reading this you stand up for your friends and walk with them even when it's hard to be around there depression. Don't forget they will return the favor to you. So do to others as you wish to be done to/for you.

Have a great Monday! And don't punch your boss in the face, that's my job!

Dreams are made to motivate.

Wow it's Friday! Hope you all had a good week, I'm just on my way to work this mornin thinking about the dreams we have in our sleep. I've been waking up remembering mine for the first time in forever and to be honest it's been really awesome! Yesterday I woke up from a dream of a magazine photo shoot for skateboarding. I can only hope in that dream it was for transworld or concrete powder. Two of my of course favorites! But I realized that those are the dreams we awake from thriving to create a reality of. I will spend the next season battling for this one to come true. This seasons injuries may have slowed my advancement. But yet I experienced the dream n life of touring, not only that but I got to shoot my first tv spot in the upcoming ctv commercial. Small steps to some are large steps to me. Can't believe how never backing down and getting back up gives you the opportunity to wear that crown we fight for. But today is just another day in this crazy thing we call life. Hope something great an amazing happens for all of us this Friday. Cheers everyone have a great fall day and don't forget to enjoy the weekend as if it's the last. Because you never know what's gonna happen next.

Yours truly,
Corey Smith

Great season!

Hey, I woke up this morning and there was snow on the ground but yet I still was thinking of new tricks to land b4 I'm done this season. Wow time flies, it feels like just the other day we were all on tour having the time of our lives! Definitely gotta say it's been an honor and a pleasure to ride with those who I did this season! You all are amazingly talented mother fuckers. I'm gonna miss the times we shared this year on the pavement during those hot dry and wet days throwing down some of the most insane riding I've seen in my life. Well with that all said, wish you all the best winter and can't wait for next year! To more insane memories and wild trips of riding! See you all then, it's hibernation time!

Yours truly,

What will it bring? What does this mean?

Waking up to the aftermath of a Friday, I Woke up after going to bed early. Does this mean I'm getting old? Or just growing up? I woke up this morning not missing a Friday night of insanity. But I remember the days of only living that looking for fun on a Friday to wake up to aftermath Saturday. Some were brutal some were glorious. When did the string get drawn? Flawless or flying I say tonight will bring back everyone of those days to a limitless infinite insanity. Too bad things end when we wake up, having life to bring us back.

Anyways, just felt like I need to have fun cause it's been to long. So well see how tonight goes? Is it hookers and blow. Or hail and snow? Well see when the morning foresees the story that will lay. Down them till the end!

One foot in!

Good morning world!
TGIF! I can't believe how much the world looks forward to Fridays! I wish we could all say we look forward to Monday's but sadly we don't all live in some dream world with the perfect life. I remember the Monday I woke up on Tour it was a beautiful day! Waking up knowing that I was more stoked than any Monday of my life! But after the glory of life and skatin ends for my season I wake up to the Monday's I hate most. Early morning of a job I don't enjoy and a life I wonder how I ended up back in. Isn't living supposed to be about fun and enjoying yourself!? Then how do we get stuck here so unhappy 5 days a week. I say fuck it let's quit this life we don't enjoy and step up to taking one more step forward to the life we wanna live/love. I challenge you this weekend to live it up and next week to put a foot in the door of happiness! Have a good thanks giving and don't forget to do something for you n those around you!

Days in life

Hello, world.
I've been waking up all week a little lost, feeling played and used. I spent the last year of my life chasing my dreams and working my ass off at my daytime job. But the second one thing went wrong from chasing my dreams. My daytime got punished for taking the chance in living a life few to none ever do. But yet I still keep my fire burning and my dreams alive. From here on in my question to the apparent higher power I hear people speak of is.. "is this worth it? Or do I give up and move on?" but fuck idk if I can move on. My heart steers me straight into this dream, this life. I don't think I can give up the dream. But will it ever be a full filled reality?
