I’ve been skating forever, but about two years ago I got a new studio space that is pretty far from the nearest..anything. Around that time, a guy got really drunk at my local bodega and left his skateboard there. They held it for me the next day and gave it to me as a gift for not being a rude customer, and I began living life as a boy with two boards. Since I was moving into a new studio, I thought I’d leave the board @ the studio for any coffee runs. It’s a lifesaver. I threw risers underneath the trucks and big longboard wheels on it, and now I can cruise to the coffee shop really fast. I can’t go back and ride those loud little wheels anymore. Once you try this, that shit just isn’t fun.
This is how I gained the cool older boys’s trust my freshman year of high school… one of those cool older boys was @YABOYBAGS, my best friend of 12ish years. We used to skate golf courses after school and now we golf every weekend :)
I started going to the gym this semester and i recently started skateboarding and its been so awesome. it can be difficult to start learning a new thing but dude… don‘t limit yourself.
taught my 6th grade students about Haikus today and we attempted to write our own. One girl‘s work was particularly good. So good I read it to the class and praised her work. Shockingly good. Too good. Learned later it was ChatGPT. This is a new kind of heartbreak.
I’m taking music seriously in 2025 and trying to learn how to write songs. I feel like I’m behind the crowd as I’m starting in my 20s and know very little actual music theory. But I just WANT TO. So I guess im gonna. Wish me LUCK xoxo
