I'm having issues getting the right colors on the sky's i shoot. They look great when i shoot them, but when i edit (using ufraw) i can never get the tones to come out nicely, and if i can, the rest of the photo is ####ed up. any advice?

If ufraw has the adjustable color levels you can use that. You can bring out the blue, or make the shadows have a red tint etc.
it's weird, i think i suck at ufraw. I can never get really bright colors to come out. On the photo i posted a page before, i had to convert into a jpg then edit, because i couldn't get ANY bright colors to come out. ugh. I've been playing with the settings for hours, and when one part comes out nice, the other looks like crap.
My friend just got a Nikon D60, stock lens, and its sweet. I couldnt believe it. this is a UNEDITED picture he took of me calling up some homies to go skate haha. i like the focus on the grass.

Graduated density filters are perfect for that: How To Use Graduated Filters
They are designed to underexpose your sky while keeping the land parts light enough to be seen.
Also, in post-processing, you could work on specific parts of the photo at a time. You could intentionally shoot your photo to properly expose the sky. This will leave the rest of the photo really dark. Then use the smart scissors selection tool to lighten up your land portion while keeping the sky the way it is, untouched.
Ughghhg yeah... so this was from my first roll of film, from my first ever attempt of photography for the sake of photography. I'm a little embarrassed to post them.. Any tips or critiques on my composition would be helpful.

I'm feeling pretty uninspired lately. I forced myself outside to test a $15 camera and came away with a few neat shots, but to me they seem really boring. I guess I had better get crackin' on film development again, that really got me going.

Nice, I like the dock one.
For the roads you generally shouldnt take pictures of them straight down the middle, it's kinda boring. Try different times of the day (or even different weather) to get different light that you want. Go for the smaller details in the road pictures, not just the whole road.
