Pray For Me (Jason Jessee) and HOSOI

Joel got me both movies and checked it out last night. It is hands down one of the best, and my new favorite skateboard doc. movie. It really is crazy how gator's life was wrecked, jessee almost lost it all, and hosoi got into meth for almost a decade. It is amazing to watch great talents and anti-heroes like this walk the line of greatness, which is a thin line between genius and insanity. Hosoi and Gator were the flashy, celebrity status guys that had so much flair and confidence. Jessee was just a natural born trainwreck that was fearless and made it look more grimey and honest. The jason jessee movie is hands down my favorite. He is by far the most interesting person outside of skateboarding. His character celebrates all the outrageous imperfections of human nature rather then hide them, and makes you just want to destroy every single day. Thanks Joel
