going to college long enough to be a professior does not make you smart.

he is, what, an urban architecture major of some sort. As far as skateboarding is concerned, he is in my top five of all time.
his I-Path 'promo' part was nothing short of mind blowing, mad unique innovation.

I read one of his essays. I think he came across as fairly intelligent.

i've always been super psyched on ocean. even his cameos in 6 newell and first and hope were totally awesome.

Was room mates with him for a summer in the late 90's. Super nice guy, very smart. I liked to ask him about the "old days" and what happened to certain skaters. He is still a rad skater and one of the all time best "tech" skaters.

Ocean is a very smart man and one hell of a sick skater.

Not to say he's not smart but in my opinion you don't measure a mans smartness by how educated he is. There's a word for it and its...I just said it... educated. Other than that he's a great dude and a wizard on the skateboard.
Maybe he is smart but I'm not gonna guess that.

sheffledge · « **Reply #20 on:** March 06, 2007, 09:35:21 AM »

hes prolly nowhere near as street smart as you and kelchmonster when it comes to pros

they mean smart as in knowing alot about alot of things

that most would either have to experience themselves

or study (books) to ever have a clue about

its funny that kids say they are stoked on ocean

when he hasnt had a part in dumblong (not including the i path promo)

but these fukkkers have no clue

i just think the kids like his name

He and fellow Ph.D. Andie Henrie looked like they were having fun in 1st and Hope.

Reason I said that is cause a good education most likely comes from having the right guidance. I know people with fancy schmancy degrees but they're dumb as fuck. If you have the right guidance behind you it's pretty easy. I saw it plenty of times so I know first hand. Lots of kids don't like school and don't have parents that care enough to make sure that kid goes. I dropped out of the tenth grade and had to go back later and get my ged. Shit was fucking simple. Now when I go to school, I apply myself 100% and can see that just by reading and trying I'm waaaaaaaay ahead of every student I'm in a class with. Am I smarter, no! I just got wiser and know where my focus should be. When you're young and have this instilled in you at a young age it does a WHOLE lot for that person. Just my 2 pennies. I think there are many ways to gauge a persons smartness. One of the most important in my opinion is how fast you grasp and understand new things and new concepts.

sheffledge · « **Reply #24 on:** March 06, 2007, 04:05:23 PM »

i feel you

there is this nigga that i worked with a while ago

and niggas used to call him stupid

like slow

cuz they would joke him and he would never say anything back

or never started up a convo with anyone

but he is the very nigga they ran too whenever they had a technical problem

playstations, cell phones, laptops, cars whatever

he could do it all

and didnt even get half way through the ninth grade

but he is the stupid one

i said to him one day

"you be hustlin the shit outta these niggas, huh"

he took a drag from his cig and said

"if you dont know, now you know, nigga"

i was laughing like a muvafukkka everytime i saw them niggas pay him (the dumb nigga) money to fix thier shit

they damn near pay that "dumb" niggas rent every month

he is a sneaky stellar muvafukkka

i dont underestimate people

Ocean Howell, Architecture
Ocean Howell is a Ph.D. candidate in UC Berkeley’s Department of Architecture. He holds an M.S. in Architecture from Berkeley, and a B.A. in Modern Literature from UC Santa Cruz. Ocean has worked as an editor for Jossey-Bass, a Wiley Company, where he created a series of books on Community Building. His dissertation research examines how various conceptions of “publicness”—and their spatial expressions—have factored into the uneven development of San Francisco. Using San Francisco's Mission District during the twentieth century as a case study, the project asks why this predominantly Irish, and now Latino, working class residential neighborhood has flourished with public spaces and institutions—an armory, a Carnegie library, Progressive Era playgrounds, baseball stadiums, a theater district, among others—while during the same period the city’s elite residential neighborhoods have contained virtually no public geography.

some people are good at making thier bodies move to manipulate thier boards into stellar feats

some people can rap (have you ever heard jadakiss or nas talk in an interview? the nigga sounds like he just escaped to the north and not so as so much as seen a fukkkin school ever

the pressure of the pull of the street cred vacuum sukkks these very articulate, intelligent, brilliant negro kings into a niggery abyss of 'real world' thug life and homage to the ignorant

thing is

these niggas aint ignorant anymore

they are ignorant on purpose

but they make alotta money

yet listen to how they talks over a beat

that shit aint easy

thats work

some people can flip the shit outta a burger

some people can convince you to buy shit you never thought of

some people use people

some people can shoot a basketball

some people can keep track of shit real good

some people lie for a living

some people can drink alot of beer

everyone is good at something that someone else is not

intellingence cannot be measured

even when dealin with mental retardation

we have no idea what is going on in thier heads

if they had the resources to accomodate thier conditions in a society of just them

would they still be regular

to me its more like you know what you know

and your good at what your good at

however

everyone doesnt speak on shit and let you know how they feel

there are more silent geniuses than those that are recognized for whatever knowledge they shared with the world

most people are never heard

some people share some truly stellar thoughts

HONESTLY FUCK THAT DUDE THEN IF HE'S REALLY TRIPPING ON THAT! I was born in that neighborhood and had to move because it's just too expensive. So some fucking artsy rich dude( who doesn't have any roots there) is mad cause his son don't have delores park to play at? Let's just roll out the red carpet even more for the rich. As if frisco doesn't throw enough rose pedals under their feet.
