You’re looking at the faces of the Phoenix Rattleskates, the only men’s roller derby team in the Phoenix Metro area. We are always looking for new members to educate in the ways of derby and to bring into our group of awesome guys. As we grow we will create more teams in the same fashion of the women’s leagues across the country. Contact us at any time to get more info!
Yes, in fact it does exist! Roller derby has been in Phoenix for 5+ years now for those that don’t know (yes somehow there are tons of people that don’t know). The current womens leagues are:
All very awesome and competitive leagues with tons of ladies ready to kick everyones asses =)
That being said, we aren’t here to talk about womens derby, we’re here to talk about Mens derby!
The Dry Heat Derby League which started in Tucson, AZ has spread its influence into Phoenix over the past couple years to get a 2nd mens team to compete with. Recently this endeavor has exploded and the local men’s team Phoenix Rattleskates has tripled in size in 1 month and doesn’t currently show signs of slowing down. The team led by Capt. Booyah and Cappie is gearing up for some serious derby action and always have an open door policy in regards to practicing. The Rattleskates encourage any and every man to skate in and give it shot, maybe even stick around!
Masturbation may be healthy, but it also an excess not needed in your day to day life. Excess I have learned is a sure fire way to lose it all. Right now I’m listening to music an overpriced mp3 player with overpriced headphones while smoking and overpriced cigar, cut using an overpriced cigar cutter. What have these things done for me other than move me further into the American life that is debt? They were totally not needed and I could have lived my life just fine without them. Excessive purchases indeed. Another nasty excess I am realizing in my life is drinking. Sure it tastes good and can lead to a state of euphoria, but it also leads to stupid decisions that many times you have no control over due to the excess. This excess has led me to the closest I’ve ever been to rock bottom. How is that you ask? I excessed Wednesday night and found myself ruining the last shreds of respect the woman I love had for me. I left the bar and went to her house and was a complete drunk in the worst sense. I drunkenly professed myself to her to the point of being the most pathetic individual I have ever fathomed. Now I have essentially no basis to improve with her I’m sure but this does present a chance to fix myself. Is this a stab at telling you all drinking is bad? No. Is this a stab at evaluation the potential cost of excessive drinking? Absolutely. Is this a challenge to myself and potentially you, the reader, to evaluate the excess in life? Absolutely. I am not writing this as a mean for forgiveness, just as a portal into my life and maybe a path to understanding. My life is nearly in shambles and is only held together by the people who never realize it because I am so closeted.
So what does this all mean for Mike Rose? It means that this admission of retardation will be the hopeful start of real self improvement. I’m sure even my fallen comrade and brother in arms would not even recognize me anymore. From here forward I need to be a better man. Does this mean I’ll stop drinking? No, because I have nothing against it. It does mean that irresponsible and reckless excessive drinking will come to a screeching halt. This means that I owe you all a reason to truly respect the man that I am instead of pissing it away. What it will all entail, it being improvement, I could not tell you as this thinking is new and raw for me. It will definitely start with an apology that’s for sure as that is all I can offer. This year started with so much and is ending with only a chance, which I guess is all we can ask for sometimes.
This was and is not a request for pity or comforting but an admission that I need to change. There may come a time when I reach to any one of you to help this, but I understand if it is not possible.
Chillin at Sanctum again. Nice bar tenders, chill atmosphere and best of all no cover! It’s off of 7th avenue and indian school nice and close to work and home! Place is definitely not for the shy as the bathrooms are communal as well. If you like goth/ebm dance nights, this is a great place. Drink specials on wednesday and thursday (tonight is 2 for 1 anything). Ill definitely continue to frequent here, especially if they start bringing in djs.
New bar on university, replacing maloneys. Amazing. Flat amazing. Great atmosphere and even better food. Bartenders take care of you and are crazy personable. You need to make this place a destination every weekend.
