Skateboarding is often regarded as "social" and hip or whatever but to be honest with you I don't think I really want a lotta friends. So I'm stoked I ended up having something to do with my time in addition to everything else I be doing but I ended up just not liking a lotta people. Win lose situation.
i'm w/ ya there. you, jim and dan and the dirtnek are good peoples but i don't care too much for other skaters. i'm exaggerating a bit and do enjoy a few other people's company but i'm pretty introverted.
stoked that my pal 'tinkles' came to visit last night. he and i were roommies in SF back in 07 i believe. we usedta run amok, drunken vandalism sprees that ended before 47th Ave cause don't focus windshields where ya live. he saved my life on one of my ODs, rode to UCSF w/ me. reminded me that i do have real friends [asides the few mentioned above] but not stoked that i talked him into going halves w/ me and double not stoked that he's going back to portland, Or and we didn't get a chance to dump my friends bones in the Atlantic. yeah, my friend passed away in Thailand and tinkles purloined some of our friend's bones from the SF funeral. he dropped some in Argentina amongst other exotic places and our deceased friend brought us together in SF so it'd be fitting for us to share a moment and spread his remains.
dude who passed away was very inspirational, helped us be more worldly and stoked for having known him. not stoked i can't trade someone else to be dead for him.
