Any skaters use themselves preforming a trick for an actual board graphic? Only one I can think of is Chief's smith grind. Why is that? Is it gauche, tacky, uninspired. Wonder if he got shit for it.

Not knocking Chief, I think that board is pretty iconic. I'm just wondering why its not done more often.

That's a great question, didn't even think of that before. Actually reminds me of what Jon Allie said once, where he didn't want to ride anything with his name on it. It's widely considered tacky for a pro to ride his or her own pro model, so creating a board with you skating on it is probably a huge breach of tact. Yeah, maybe that's contributed to criticisms toward him.

Am I remembering correctly or was there a Blabac photo of Kalis at LOVE used for a graphic at some point? Could be wrong but I feel like I'd seen it before. If so, that in itself wouldn't be tacky either considering anything shot of Kalis at LOVE was gold.

Tacky is getting a silhouette of yourself kickflip backlipping a handrail dead center on your forearm.

Speaking in numbers. There is what? 7 billion people in the world? Studies are shown that 1 out of 4 people are gay. 25 percent of 7 billion is 1.75 billion. I'm sure if you had alcohol in the mix, two people of the opposite sex of that 1.75 billion fucked.

My hollywood conspiracy theory website says that Will/Jada Pinkett Smith are both closeted and their marriage has always been a sham. So yes (unless you believe that other hollywood conspiracy theory website that claims that Jaden and Willow Smith were conceived using surrogates in vitro and then Jada had the surrogates killed)

Who out of the bones brigade will be the first to not be able to skate anymore?
It honestly blows my mind that all of them (well bar maybe McGill) are still skating to this day, I've skated for basically 30+ years and there hasn't been a time when Cab, Lance, Hawk, Tommy (and Rodney) haven't skated/ haven't had a pro board out. Literally Skate or Die! Will there be another generation of skaters that have that longevity?

Impish sausage is definitely gonna blow up as a euphemism this year

i read this book called 'slackjaw'. the author had macular degeneration and was slowly going blind. it was a funny memoir, dude was into some silly shit like starting the 'nihilist worker party' and getting investigated by the feds and next chapter he's attempting suicide. like between all the suicide attempts was a lighthearted romp.
so anyways, slackjaw was loosing his sight, loosing his mind like papa roach.
everything didn't just go black, it dims slowly. legally blind doesn't mean much other than you can't drive. [pimp squad for life]
kid is prolly really blind but can see shapes or differentiate dark from light.

This week I was early for a meeting and the neighborhood I was in had a Barnes and Noble.  I went in to get out of the cold and browse some magazines.  I hadn't been in one in awhile and I was amazed at how many magazines they had and on such random/specific subjects.  Like ten on guns, ten on sailing, etc.  I know people don't buy mags like they used to, so what happens to all those unsold mags?

What's the best product to buy from Walmart, sell on eBay, put fake in box, seal, and return to Walmart?

As long as companies buy the ad space they'll keep printing them and burning the ones nobody reads (all of them)

Yeah usually they are pretty chill. Last time I had one it was me and couple of my love ones and we watched a big bright fire ball swallow the earth. It was quite peaceful I'd say.

Yea, it was gnarly. I remember we were all just waiting around for a big bomb to drop and I remember how I just kept hoping it wouldn't hurt and just be over fast. Woke up bummed/stoked.

are eating disorders a way to control soemthing in this chaotic world or is that a feminist revision to trying to be skinny for male attention?
is overeating another form of it and a fat girl who is loved will develop better habits?

I'm trying to look into my soul in the mirror and notice I can't look directectly into both eyes with both my eyes. I can only focus both my real eyes onto one eye in the mirror. Is this a real thing? Can you focus both eyes onto both eyes of another person? I don't have another person with me right now. It feels like your two eyes really make one eye though.

But if you feel tense turn off artificial yellow light, you can feel the rays and its assaultive to your body and head. Blue light is not effecting my body but has a calming effect on my mind.

Its weird but I'm on drugs.
