I've used chegg.com for quite some time now. It's basically the only store i go to rent or buy books. Not the overpriced, bad customer service book store that they have near the universities/college.
As a low income kid struggling getting by with student loans, chegg really helps out me get my books.
Well this is basically how you use chegg
You enter your ISBN(book code) number for the book that you need. Then it will show you if they have that book in stock for you to rent. They have a nice book selection but once in a while, they don't have the book your looking for. However i have yet to encounter that problem. Now you have a choice to rent the book for the semester or the quarter or summer session.Basically you can when and how long you can rent it for. Btw you have to have a credit card for rent the books. You will get the books within around 7 to ten days. And the returning the book is free shipping via ups.
Overall, don't buy textbooks, rent them.

Dolphing slaugher begins again. (sick fucks)
Posted by Dilly Skates at 7:56 PM 45 comments''It's clear to see that Taiji is starting to fall to pieces, the town is not prospering and it's time to try something new,'' Mr Dalton saidVia www.theage.com
So basically, a little town in Japan, Taiji. Has began their annual dolphin/whale killing spree on September first. Based on last year incident with the dolphins, the hunters would drive the dolphins/whales into a cove and begin to slaughter them According to a small sea Shepard in Japan, they have killed 15 pilot whales and were processed behind screens of a small town in Tokyo.
I really hate theses guys I mean they're hurting theses dolphins because they're eating "too much fish". Yeah that's right, they are killing dolphins, not for them to eat dolphin meat, they're killing them because they think dolphins are pests, like dolphin are like rats or cockroaches. We need to make them stop injuring / killing theses dolphins. Theses animals are harmless, not a threat to society, and most important of all, they're fucking awesome.
Are you with me with this protest against the killing spree of dolphins?!
GENERAL DOLPHIN WANTS YOU TO.

How to minimize physical injuries from sk8boarding. DON'T BREAK YOUR SPINE BRO
Posted by Dilly Skates at 7:44 PM 48 commentsSk8boarding is a fun activity, but it can also be dangerous. I don't want you guys to get seriously injured and stop sk8ing forever. Here are some beginners tips to prevent serious harm to your body.
- 1. First make certain you have all the proper protective gear. Your skateboarding gear must include: a) Skate shoes; b) A helmet; c) Kneepads; d) Elbow pads; and e) Wristbands. Proctect that spine.
- 2. Familiarize yourself with your sk8board. In order to do so, find a grassy area or rest the board on the carpet in your house. Become comfortable with the sk8board underneath your feet. Place your feet in different positions on the sk8board. This includes placing the majority of your weight on the tail or end of the board.
- 3. Next determine if you feel more comfortable heading off with your left foot or right foot. Stand on the board and conclude what feels most natural. The foot that is your strongest or most dominant is your back foot.
- 4. Learn to push. Always push off using your back foot. This is a basic technique. There are a number of ways you may push off after this basic technique has been fully mastered.
- 5. Learn how to turn. Bend your knees to get in a low position then turn the board using your feet.
- 6. Practice braking by foot. Start slow and do not perform initially at a high rate of speed.
- a) Turn your toes to face the nose or the front of the sk8board.
- b) You are also facing toward the front. Place all your weight onto your front foot. Keep your back leg straight and slowly lower your back foot to the ground. c) The weight of your body is on the front leg. The body is centered properly as you drag your back foot in order to decrease speed.
- c) Apply light pressure in order to slow down gradually.
- d) Using heavy pressure will slow you down quickly.
Hope this shit helps you guys. STAY IN SCHOOL AND PROTECT YOUR SPINE FROM INJURIES.

Dealing with ankle injuries
Posted by Dilly Skates at 9:29 PM 35 commentsBeing in college and sk8ing everyday may cause some unexpected injuries. Like for instance, lets say you're listening to your ipod and sk8ing and suddenly a tiny pebble comes out of nowhere and you stumble and you cry to catch yourself but instead you roll your ankle. Yeah worst injury ever. This is what i do to remedy my pain.
- I get an icepack and i put it on top of my foot. The physical touch of the ice might hurt but it's okay. If my feet gets numb i like to think it's working.
- Then I elevate my ankle so it's above my head. I use a shit loads of pillows and i put it on top of my desk. I heard this like stops swelling by getting the blood down to body.
- Then when my feet get's all cold and numb, i put it in hot water. i heard this breaks up the blood inside my foot.
Then i pressurize it for the swelling to go down.
- Then i wrap my foot in a t shirt just for funnies. mental therapy
After like a couple of hours or a day my feet would be fine.
I hope this helps you!
Also if your ankle is hurting and causing major physical pain, then you should contact your physician or doctor and go to hospital. They be something wrong with you.
Hopes this helps guys!

New species of dolphins. THEY SPIT INTO EACH OTHER'S MOUTH?
Posted by Dilly Skates at 8:24 PM 20 commentsVia SourceNewly Discovered Dolphin Spits at Prey
A new species of dolphin dubbed the snubfin has been witnessed displaying some very unusual feeding behavior off the northern coast of Australia. Apparently the dolphins were witnessed chasing fish to the surface of the water and then streaming jets of water out of their mouths to round the fish up before eating them.
I'm more of a Copenhagen mammel, myself.
"This incredibly unusual behavior, first seen in Australia off the Kimberley Coast, has only been noted before in Irrawaddy dolphins, which are closely related to this species," Lydia Gibson of WWF Australia told the Northern Territory News.
The snubfin was discovered officially in 2005.

My trip to the SIX FLAGS. WITH BOOBS.
Posted by Dilly Skates at 8:16 PM 24 commentsShit was so cash.
I got to see all my favorite aquatic wild life. LIKE THE MOTHER FUCKING DOLPHINS. They were doing jimmy flips and backflips like they didn't even give a shit. In their mind they're probably thinking "Fuck bitches, do flips". Learned a new fact about dolphins, they can sleep and swim. How cool is that? Imagine if we can do, just sleep and run. There would be less fat people i can tell you that. Except some people might get hit by cars.
Only lame part about the whole thing was i had bad seats. I knew i shouldn't have gotten nachos.

My Favorite Spots to Skateboard
Posted by Dilly Skates at 7:07 PM 16 commentsIf you love skateboarding, then you gotta know the right spots to skate. I mean whats the point of skating if you skate in your garage 24/7
1.The skate park
I know, i know, the "skate park" is the obvious one, but i genuinely love to skate at the skate park. The skate park offers things that regular spots doesn't have. Like the bowls. When you're dropping into that bowl and riding the walls, i feels like your riding the waves of the ocean. My only beef with the skate parks is that there is always that one non-skateboarding dickhead, who is just hanging out with his bros and talking shit when someone bails on a trick. Seriously man go fuck yourself.
2. Outdoor elementary schools
Sorry kiddies, i was probably the one that fucked up your benches, handrails and your tables. The thing i love about the school is the lack of security for their playgrounds. Sure you may encounter some rowdy neighbors once in a while but other than that it's peachy keen. Downside is that everything is so tiny. I swear the benches are like 2 inch high.
3. Company buildings
You know, the one with the big ass stairs/ rails. Theses places are really enjoyable but you gotta be careful for the security popos. They are quite nasty sometimes.
