P1020879, order originally uploaded by djneilarmstrong.
I’ve been around the world in the last 15 days… Beauty is Everywhere.
There are enough commonalities in all of us, that I do believe we’re essentially all the same.
I’d like to buy the world a coke, and keep it company.
As you see. I go crazy when I’m on the road for so long.
And thankfully… I’m FINALLY coming home y’all ;)
Adidas, all the promoters, all the venues – my team – Sky, Jerald and Shaun from 112 agency. Good Job y’all.
I’ll be posting up recaps all thru the week…

7/10 – Sat – Mr Armstrong at Highpoint Shoes in Arizona for GKY
sales on Flickr”>
Dearly Departed & 5th Column Present
GKY
Saturday July 10th
8 – 10:30 PM
@ HighPoint Shoes
7135 E. Camelback Road Suite 175 Scottsdale, AZ
Despite its aggressive, literal definition, “Go Kill Yourself”, in the eyes of 5th Column and Dearly Departed, is an iconoclastic call to action of sorts. According to the brands, the metaphoric “instructions” translate to a facetious nod toward the arrogantly ignorant. With both teams building their empires upon satirical symbolisms, Go Kill Yourself or GKY simply stands for the ultimate death of the ego and the thrill of the KILL. With music spun by the legendary DJ Neil Armstrong, please join High Point Shoes, 5th Column, and Dearly Departed for the celebratory coming out of this summer’s most anticipated project.
Aloha Kauai…. Surfing, Kayaking, Ziplining, and lake jumping with wifey…
This last time around in Hawaii was different because I headed out to one of the other islands Kauai, buy viagra courtesy of one of my island friends Jon Mac –
and on Flickr”>
Kauai, is beautiful X 10 .
A much more chilled out version of where most people go aka Honolulu Hawaii.
With the beautiful Beaches, Sunsets and Lazy laidback atmosphere…
I however, do not like to spend all my time doing nothing laying on the beach, so this was adventure time city with my partner in crime Emily.
From Surfing, Ziplining and cliff jumpin, we did it all :)
One thing I’ve learned throughout my travels, is that its always SO much funner when you have someone special to share the experience with…
It was a great time… but we haven’t even got to the FOOD yet. Next blog is for your stomachs and mines.
Without a doubt, you need to add Kauai to your list of travel todos…
Much love Aerial 7… and they return it back with a chance to win some free tank headphones…
Currently on the aerial 7 website they’ve been using my dashing good looks to help promote their headphones.

Pictured above is myself, Seth and Phil of Aerial 7 out in Vegas. At the end of last year I had the opportunity to check out their facilities out in Australia, located in byron bay right near the beach where i learned how to surf . Phil – a native of Southern California helped me catch my first wave…
Peep how beautiful it is out there –
A lot of the design and product testing goes on in this lab, and they of course gave me a sneakpeak pair of their luxury line of headphones the absolutes –
As well as some up and coming projects…
This is some good stuff. Everyone is gonna have a different experience, but My aerial 7 tanks have lasted me about 6 months of RIGOROUS touring!
Something to be said about that, Reliability and Style….

ZURICH is beautiful right now, unhealthy

My mind though is still 2 oceans away in Hawaii, where I got to chill out with its wildlife up colse and personal when Emily and I swam with some Turtles.
It was pretty trippy. I said to emily – Hey, take a pick of me standing on this rock… I think its a rock. BUT THEN. It moved.
Turns out there was a whole school of turtles just chillin on the north shore with us. One of them kept following emily. She calls him joey.
With Our Trusty CANON S90 we caught the whole thing… Peep it below…
