A Gentle Reminder That I am Almost 40… January 21, 2012
This video reminds me of my age but in a good way for sure.
Yeah, he’s a scientologolist or whatever but fuck it…
The greatest thing about turning 40 for me is that in just a few weeks I’ll be fishing the Little Red in AR with Jamie Rouse (not sure what’s up with his main site but check here if the first link is a dud) who was recently featured in the latest of Southern Culture on the Fly. I found Jamie via the lodge that we are staying at and it would seem that my instincts led me in the right direction. After a short talk with Jamie I was sold on the fact that he is afflicted. I’m heading that way with my best friend who lives in Dallas now. Another guy that refuses to indi fish even if he is being outfished by the nympher next door. He turns 40 this year too so we have to at least hit double 20″ browns or the trip has to be done over. Part of me hopes that the do over happens so the rest of the Hatchless dudes can join us next time.
We have one day with with Jamie and one with one of his other guides that is also a streamer junkie. Should be a killer trip. It was nice to get an endorsement on Jamie from a fellow Au Sable streamer guy, Kelly Neuman, and then yet another endorsement a week after we booked with Jamie via SCOTF.
Kelly is guiding on the White for the first few weeks in Feb and is well worth looking up because he has a killer deal going down there. Also on the White this time of year from MI are the guys from OAS in Grayling, MI doing time down there chasing hogs. Find them at Daily’s Ozark Fly Fisher. The Michigan guys know the deal when it comes to tuggin’ streamers!
40 is the new 30. Or so they tell me.
Fuck that! 40 is the new 25! Screw what people “tell” you. As long as we’re dreaming we should at least get to make the shit up ourselves!
I wore that video out watching it so much when I was young. New Years eve 99/2000 I went to some seedy Hollywood party that actually had tons of celebrities there. Jason was there and if I remember right, starting to really get more into acting. He had a full entourage of hot girls surrounding him but still took the time to shoot the shit with me about skateboarding. By the end of the night the open bar wrecked me, but did end up with Nikki Cox from the tv show Unhappily Ever After, in some back room for a few hours. Oh to be 21 again…..
Yep. Totally wore that tape out too. I also wore out that Nikki girl in the back of a school bus a few months before that party you mentioned . Sorry about the sloppy seconds. Had I known of you back then I totally wouldn’t have done that to you. My bad.
