love alone is worth the longboard.

if you don't know about my obsession with jon foreman we clearly aren't friends and this is obviously your first time reading my blog because it almost borders on creepy how wonderful i think he is:

  • i have seen him play live tons of times.
  • i got a tattoo of some of  his lyrics. 
  • i read any and every article he writes and interview he does. 
  • i held a viewing party when their (switchfoot) documentary released. 
  • i planned my vacation around his yearly festival on a beach in california. 
  • i stood and watched him sign autographs. (this is where the creepy comes in. i didn't want his signature what else was i supposed to do?)
 
and now i am adding that i purchased a longboard because of jon foreman.

do i know how to longboard? 
no. no, i do not. 

i am an idiot. 

this guy started a custom longboard company and he put up a picture holding a longboard and had a switchfoot quote underneath it (not even on the board, just underneath the picture). so being the giant fangirl that i am, i emailed and asked how much it would be to get a board and literally told the guy that i was emailing because he used a jon lyric. he responded with the price and said that he had a giant man crush on jon. so obviously i ordered a board. 

again, i am an idiot. 

but the board is done and i'm picking it up tomorrow! 
the guy burned the actual quote into the side of the board for me as a surprise which was incredibly thoughtful since that's the reason i bought the board in the first place. 

mine is the love board- second from left

if you need to find me any time in the near future, i'll probably be the girl lying in the middle of the road, bleeding as i try to learn how to ride my new treasure.
