Things You Are Stoked On But Not Stoked On

[Green Bastard]

Finally gonna see a doctor about my mental issues, possibly might have adhd so i'm stoked on getting a huge issue in my life sorted out. Also stoked on getting a shitty job so I can pay for boards and shoes without having to re-use old gear

Not stoked on not getting an internship this year. It's my junior year and I haven't done one yet. So it sucks not being able to have real work experience in my field, but for the summer I'm just gonna make art for myself and hopefully someone will like it and throw money at me.

just bought a nice ass leaf blower off this bawtawd looking fellow for $30..had it strapped to his back riding his bmx so it's obviously stolen..chased him down n he wanted $50 but i knew this guy needed some dog drugs..feel kinda shitty about the whole deal but at least i got this fucking blower

I work in like a trendy office on a campus like setting with a bunch of trendy fucking companies (which is weird because we're like a financial institution, but it's also cool because I don't have to wear BS business casual clothes). Anyways there's a pool on the site and I know my fob has access to the fitness center, but apparently I'm not allowed in the pool. It's probably just for residents or whatever.

Anyways, right next to the pool is this weird little ditch thing that looks fun for skating so I'll have to check that out at some point.

Good to hear you're getting help with it, I've got ADHD as well and it's pretty much fucked up all of high school for me, I've been getting help on and off, but I need to be consistent about it.

Had an exam today and I didn't know one of the questions since it was never brought up/taught to us so I just wrote an album review instead

One of the other dishwasher got injured (not sure if he's lying or not) and the other is an asshole that just slowed up for 20 minutes and left. This means I had to take on double shifts 2 days on a row, my hands are all cut up and feel specially raw and dry. At least my pay check should be nice

i got my adhd diagnosis the summer before college and started taking meds a few months ago. it's so relieving to just know shit wasn't all your fault, like i carry so much shame about losing track of time and procrastination and i always figured i just got that from my dad.

my deal now is i'm trying to work with my psych on maybe an adult autism diagnosis? which is its own bag of worms. i've always dealt with stuff straight off the DSM like echolalia, trouble with nonverbal communication, and 'specialized interests. its hard trying to talk to my parents about my childhood in that context bc it gets them so down on it, like they did something wrong for me, or maybe they just dont want a 'fucked up' son? but i just wanna know!

I'm not sure how to deal with an autism diagnosis. I know how you feel though cause when I was a kid I was diagnosed with a learning disorder (which is why i suspect I had add for most of my life) but working with your psych is the probably the best route. But I relate a lot to talking to your parents. You kinda have to keep telling them it isn't their fault and reassuring that you have a handle on this, this was kinda the way I was able to see a doctor about this.

Also do you think ADD/ADHD has an affect on skateboarding, I noticed the issues and symptoms of add when I kept trying tricks and not progressing and just getting frustrated. Like I can't turn my mind off and focus when I'm skating flatground.

that's weird, i almost feel like this is turning in a support group but i'm being tested for adhd next week after struggling to get anything done in university for four years straight. i thought i was just a bitch but now it turns out it might be adhd but now i still feel like a bitch for blaming my failure on some dumb disease thing. i feel like this view is terribly wrong but i can't help it

I think you're right on both. It isn't your fault, but it is your responsibility.

Thats one of the things that fucks me up about learning about add. Looking back on my past I realized that most of my mistakes especially at school weren't entirely my fault, but I still could have sat down and actually studied instead of dicking around playing video games and skating. I mean I still love skating 24/7, but playing battlefield doesn't help my future.

hm, reading that sent me into a pretty nice train of thoughts. in the end i figured i shouldn't dwell on the past too much but i definitely wanna make up for lost time now that i'm onto it. thanks, dude. that really helped for some reason. i'd give you one of the + 1 things if i could

shotgun league started last night and the only person who shot better than me out of 30 something other guys was my dad. pretty stoked on that. not stoked that i totally fucked up my average for next week though.

Wow. It sounds like hell. Literally. I would rather shovel snow that getting rapped by the sun. I was born in Cooma tho.

"damn. old fart is doing that wallride switch. guess i'd better learn it regular."
Not stoked on being called old fart today at the skatepark by a 20 something year old whippersnapper.
Stoked on switch wallrides.

[mynameisnotjeff]

Stoked: Picked up the Lance Mountain Spitfire tee, some new Supras and a Bacon deck
Not Stoked on: My friend picked up the Gabriel Rodrigues reissue deck and I'm tempted to pick up new trucks and the deck

[Dwyck]

Stoke: class ends today
Stoops: girl i'm seeing is upstate all summer

Buzzfeed is really taking this quiz seriously aren't they?

Just found out that the girl that rejected me some months ago is actually lesbian, so I mean, that is AT LEAST a tie right?

I had sex with one of those lesbians that is so deep in it she wears zoo york gear. It was on a very very modern couch that I didn't think we were allowed to even sit on. What I'm saying here is that it doesn't matter, I still had sex and you still got rejected.

How'd you get to that? I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, just saying. I had sex with a lesbian and you got rejected by one. I've been rejected too, just not by a lesbian so it wasn't a relevant story. That's life man keep your head up.

Not to toot my own horn, but I totally had sex (and a loving, caring, if only a little off, personal relationship) too. Sexuality isn't a binary. If you appealed to her somehow, she could have made an "exception", in the same way that you could have made an "exception" for a guy who somehow caught your fancy. I know I have...

About crushing on lesbian girls: Hear the dulcet tones of Rivers Cuomo and rejoice in the fact that he, like, knows how that feels, man.



My current crush is super gay, too. I know she'll never see me as I see her, but I'm secretly happy for her making my saturday classes magical. The coolest thing about lesbians is that they look and act like they don't give a fuck about what people think, and that's one great quality for somebody to have.

[fulltechnicalskizzy]

The coolest thing about lesbians is having casual platonic conversations while imagining them doing lesbian things
