Jesus, I had no idea all that occurred. I stay as far away from celebrity news as I possibly can. That girl definitely needed more support.

I don't know, all the movie stars I grew up with are disappearing and new actors that I don't care about are becoming bigger. Cars, actors, all these things I grew up with are becoming more and more rare as I grow older and it's just surreal, this growing shift my cultural landscape.

i have the hardest time watching new movies and feeling any of these actors are any good . no one can compare to the actors i grew up with an prior . i don’t see someone coming close to the pacino , deniro, , steve Mcqueen . anyway well said .

i've noticed that skaters who obsess over having the the "right" gear usually suck at skating while the guys who ride whatever they can afford/find don't suck.

what's up with that?
2 reasons. Skaters who are crazy about the right gear have the mindset saying that they can only perform good on ___. The second reason is they spend more time talking, discussing, buying, and adjusting the gear to the perfect rather than actually skating.

I have a friend who didn't realize you could swap bushings/tune trucks until he was like 22 years old. He would just get new indys. he's pretty good

People who don't understand the loss of Notre Dame burning but will pay attention to which hairdresser kim kardashian goes.

Honestly these confidently ignorant people make me depressed.

If you think friendship is overrated, then you’re not actually talking about true friendship. Skate homies, Drinking buddies are overrated. Work buddies are overrated. People who call you to hang out, but won’t show up when you need someone to move a fridge are overrated. People who you don’t feel comfortable talking about your marital troubles or the anxiety you feel from aging are overrated.

A true friend is someone who you can trust and depend on. Someone who would go out of their way to help you and expect nothing in return.

Those true friends are very few and far between, but if you find one and nurture the relationship, it can be a pillar in your life. I’m lucky to have a wife/friend like this.

It has been over 10+ years since having a close homie I guess life just gets in the way, ah who needs them anyways...

  Over rated.  Not saying its bad tho.  I have friends for 30 years now and they re pains in the ass.  One and a half of them are worth it.  I have better friends here in europe ive known for a year.  Can be different for different personalities tho.  Im a loner with lots of friends (or 'friends' if ur feelin cynical)

Having at least low level impostor syndrome all the time is just part of pretending to be an adult too, right?

I’ve never snuck 800mg ibuprofen through my anus at border checkpoints so maybe something a little stronger.

Don't worry about your stomach, it's your liver that's fucked. I do it too though, and I'm a medical professional that knows better.

A random angry citizen has the ability to kick someone out of a spot and alter a potential historic trick in skateboarding. I don't think there's many other sports or groups that can have their history books be affected by some obscure individual.
