Things You Pondered Today

Are neck pillows worth it

[Hmmmm Nice Bike]

Electronic drumsets seem a bit more affordable now than they were a few years back. Drums were the only instrument I truly enjoyed despite only having a set available to me for half a year, but within that short time span I managed to learn a handful of songs which I failed to do when I attempted learning the guitar. I'm tempted to finally buy myself a set and get back into it.

dew it !! i bought an electronic kit off some
kid years ago and they sounded really good . the thing was is when i played them through garage band the snare was the bass drum & the high hat was the floor tom and i couldn’t figure out how to reprogram the kit .

It’s hilariously dumb how emotionally invested I am in skateboarding.  Like a few weeks ago I got a clip I really liked on my birthday (3 trick line, and one of those lines where you last minute deviate from the plan, go for glory and throw a harder trick instead and land it), and my mood can float off that for like 2 weeks.

Yesterday I’m skating knowing full well this spot doesn’t usually work out for long and that I’m probably due for an L anyway. No surprise I didn’t get my trick the way I wanted but still let it put me in a bad mood for the day

Has there ever been a mattress salesman that doesn’t appear to be some kind of sexual deviant?

Lmao. No.

remember that Andy Milinokas looking ass kid who hung around Quartersnacks? i think his name was Brengar. who was he, what did he do and where is he now?
does he skate or is he the Rick Kosick of NYC? he held that tree for AO one time and for that we salute you.

first of all i had no idea andy milinokas was 43

brengar was/is a filmer, who filmed most of pappalardo's fully flared part. someone told me recently he started filming again.

his brother is paul gar who is also a filmer/photographer. he recently filmed eli reed's part.

If you're familiar with Twitch, he streams all the time. Sometimes he plays video games, but a lot of the times he's just filming himself walk around LA or while he's traveling. He's been filming a lot in Japan recently. Sometimes he can be pretty funny and gets into some random situations.

[chris gentryfied]

nah, idk about twitch but that's cool. i've heard the name Paul Gar, prolly on QS. that's neat the kid is a globetrotter. he doesn't skate then? he had a video dressed as a sad robot once. it wasn't great but it was unique.
i'm interested in characters but i kind of want him to skate.

[honey island]

rcb3 is talking about andy, not brengar

i'm sure he skates, grew up skating.

[givecigstosurfgroms]

I wonder if theres a clip or photo of someone doing a big bs air on a really big vert wall. So's that there airing beside the wall. Ive seen frontside ollies like that.  Maybe put a little strip of 1/4 coping to bonk theyre wheels off of.

If an actor portrays someone that is pretending to be someone else, shouldn’t they get paid double?

If they are wearing a disguise in order to rob a bank, in order to research a part, then yes.

[Bagelskate]

Should I have some honey bees? Would it piss off the neighbors, who suck anyway.

[ChuckRamone]

this week I considered signing up for it for the first time, so I'd say it's pretty much done.

Right now in Canada, they're experimenting with not showing the number of likes on posts. Do you think it'll help ?

Is volcom supposed to be a combination of "volume" and "company", like a music-oriented brand?

[Dustwardprez]

Thinking about selling my art collection. I don’t want to but it become a storage issue

[Dustwardprez]

There was a mix tape I received around 1996? It had h street lick and a Powell tour video to France?

There was a clip of a homeless blonde guy who took someone’s board and placed it right on the very end of a tall drop. I’m seeing a pink or red polished marble. Get a running start and jump both feet in the ctr of the board right to neck piece off the ledge.
He was hauled away in an ambulance.

If you can name this video it would make me happy to see it

caffeine doesn’t increase your energy or alertness it just redistributes it. most people consume it so their most productive hours of the day are during work and then they crash and burn just in time for their life outside of work, unless you consume it all day, every day, in which case you’re slowly destroying yourself like a meth user on a very long-term scale. caffeine increases anxiety because it causes releases of adrenaline and cortisol. you’re putting yourself in a state of stress and hypervigilance so you can be a good little worker bee or office monkey. I’ve been reducing my morning coffee quantity and getting headaches from it. I’m gonna eventually only drink one small cup of weak coffee a day and maybe even quit but it does have some health benefits so I’m thinking about it. I wanna use my energy more consistently and save some of it for more important shit like skating and reading at home. this may sound crazy but I think caffeine exacerbates a lot of conditions like teeth grinding and even contributes to road rage. think about people driving around all amped up on caffeine with adrenaline and cortisol pumping through their bodies. ridiculous how it’s been marketed to us. people gotta have their comfy cup of joe or their refreshing “energy” drink. fuck caffeine.
