Getting slammed off the bat when you ride the bus for an hour and haven't eaten yet and you are heartbroken and in legal and financial trouble on the anniversary of your friend's death, sucks. Today was a rough one. But you know what? Still skated. No matter how weird life gets skateboarding holds me down, and I would like to say thanks. Still the coolest thing on the planet. The love of my life. Jewel in my crown. Thorn in my side. It's pretty hard to express how I feel about this activity. I am so grateful to still be rolling in 2013. My hip, heart and head hurt and today was the first day I skated without the scram bracelet in about four months and without the sweetleaf in probably a decade with literally a handful of exceptions. I felt wonky and out of it and I'm sure all my tricks looked like garbage, but I still skated. Didn't watch TV, didn't play fantasy football, didn't collect any stamps, didn't do the Harlem Shake, didn't smoke any dope or drink a beer, didn't work or fuck or fight. I rode my skateboard, and because of that nothing will top today. Except for tomorrow.
'Til Infinity
