dear pals with brains
should i get a job at a skate shop or not?
whats the cool parts of the job?
whats the dumb parts of the job?

it's worth doing, if only for a few months. the perks can be good, sure you have to deal with some asshole kids and dumb parents, but name any job where you don't have to. i'm definately glad i worked at one for a while.

Cool Parts: Getting Paid to watch videos and hang out at a skateshop.
Discount?

Dumb Parts: Dealing with stupid kids and their parents
Gripping boards

gripping boards isn't bad, but it totally sucks when you have to regrip a board
having to deal with allen head hardware sucks too

if you're lucky you can even skate out front of the store while working

i ate shitty mexican food while working upstairs at a community centre in kits and went to look for a bathroom. saw signs and ended up walking in front of a couple hundred people watching some slides or something to find the bathroom. proceeded to have a nasty ass burning shit, i could hear people coughing and fidgeting, so they could hear me quite well i assume. then walked back out in front, made a bunch of eye contact

I just looked at the old ikonboard and apparently it's WC4Life's 22nd birthday today!

i broke my board today in an angry fit. i was by myself though, so it wasn't a session killer or anything, just me getting bummed out on myself.
moral of the story: don't buy the i-path locust. it's a heavier, bigger, less skateable version of the dunk with an annoying strap.

Dude, so did I! Except the moral of my story is never ever buy Ebay boards that promise to make you jump like a black gold natural tiger. It was my first session with it and no matter what trick I tried the board flew away due to it's severe lack of concave. What really sucks is I've got 2 of em left. I'm just gonna skate balls out with them in hopes that they break soon.

some photographer kid from that area, and another who was recently out there

im not saying its like 100 percent legit, we'll have to wait and see

This could almost qualify for the Not Stoked thread, but do you ever feel bad killing bugs? Sometimes I do. They do have brains and purposes after all.

And have you ever thought what it would be like to be blinded in an accident? Would you have the will to go on? Would you even be able to end it all?

Also, I bought a t-shirt at the Gap, XXL, and it almost looks small on me. I'm fucking short and scrawny, how can an XXL fit that well on me?

Do you ever feel an impending sense of doom just as everything's going well? Like this life is too good to be true and something's gotta go wrong?

Fuck.

i try to shoo flies out of the house before they get it... spiders i dont kill whenever i can avoid it. i have a 'relocation' kit (ie: a clear plastic container with a lid) which i use to scoop them up and then put them outside. i figure they eat flies and bugs, and wouldnt want to chomp on me, unlike a mosquito.

Flies perish in my casa. Spiders get a pass for ther same reason you said. I hate when I drive my car into a butterfly.

if i see a spider its dead, fuck those things

I had a long conversation about this with my friends yesterday, when it comes right down to it our lives really don't have any more worth than those of bugs. I've definitely killed a lot of them in my time though.

other than flies and mosquitoes i have no qualms about letting little critters do their thing. they're indeed useful. i never did get how people became afraid of bugs and such. how bad can something hurt if we're a million times larger than it?? but still, the day i do get bitten is the day some serious slaughter goes down.
