will answer this as practically as possible;
skateboarding takes a lot of shit to line up for it to work out:
-weather has to be on point
-your setup has to be working (gotta have shoes that arnet completley blown out too)
-have to not be hurt
-get kicked out
-homey cant make it
-gotta be feeling like it
-cant be too tired
-cant be at school / work
so what can you do? play video games, tech deck, snowskate, watch skate videos - can get kinda boring after awhile if that is the only thing you are interested in. playing music is like playing video games to me except in a different universe if that makes any sense. it is also like skateboarding - there is a lot of execution involved (for those who dont know, i was one of the top Street Fighter players in my country for a long time)
i personally have never been drawn much to super artsy stuff, like i dont really fuck with museums too much, but i would definintely check it out if someone asked me. or an art gallery or w/e.
i never was into drawing / painting much, but now i have 2 kids, i am doing it a lot with them. I actually have this boombox graphic that i have been drawing for like years just when bored randomly and its pretty mcuh the only thing i ever draw. but now i really want to put this graphic onto a shirt, so that has my mind going like what else could i do. i want to give some away to my friends / skaters in the area that i am hyped on. woudnt cost me too much to print a bunch of shirts and give a couple away, i think it might stoke someone to get something even though its small i would like that feeling
the other thing i have been doing lately is rub bricking the fuck + spray lacquering crusty ledges.. it is my new favorite thing. i dont really have the means to start doing concrete stuff (yet) but its something i always wanted to do and now im finding out of necessity DIY is where its at and super fun. landing a trick you envisoned on a crust ass spot that YOU BUILT yourself is such an insane feeling.
