Rod Stewart. Ocean air. Feeling good. 🤙

First time back on the board in two months. Took a part-time job that ate up my Sundays, so no more Sundays with the bois for a while. And now, for some God forsaken reason, I'm back in school three days a week. Finally settled in enough to start cutting out a slice of "me" time, and it felt GOOD.

Every fucking time, dude. Every single time.

Tweet: Every heartwarming human interest story in america is like "he raised $20,000 to keep 200 orphans from being crushed in the orphan-crushing machine" and then never asks why an orphan-crushing machine exists or why you'd need to pay to prevent it from being used.

Decided my next JRPG adventure will be these two, back to back. I played a good chunk of Wild Arms 1 when I was 13, but never finished it. I've only ever watched my brother play 2. Started 1 tonight, and it's insane how well I remember this game. It really stuck with me, and I can't wait to beat it.

I don't know any scales, I just make a lot of fuzzed out, reverbed to Hell noise.

The Google Maps reviews of this prefab piece of shit park is filled with pictures of dudes demonstrating how uneven and jank the obstacles are, and it's probably the funniest skateboard-related thing I've ever seen. 😂

Skaters pretending to slam to demonstrate how bad and uneven the obstacles are in a poorly made early 2000's skatepark in Hooksett, New Hampshire.

Rearranged my comic collection so I can actually flip through for what I want, instead of lifting through the whole stack. Mostly so I can reread this little gem. This is probably one of my all time favorite covers.

I was going to cut this down to like a 10 second hit, but Dioxyde is such a vibe.

Laconia, NH. Hands down, the weirdest park I've ever been to. Every bit of transition was like skating a Jersey barrier. Tight turns. Every inch of the park is utilized to have SOMETHING to skate. But a good time with the homies is a good time with the homies. And the location was beautiful.

Fun, but windy day yesterday in the Portsmouth skatepark.

I still have The Ringed City to beat, but at least the base game is done with. And I hope the same people who had comments about Elden Beast being a joke boss had that same energy for Soul of Cinder, who was arguably way more of a throw away boss. Bro didn't even get cutscenes.

THAT'S RIGHT. SIT DOWN, SHIT HEAD.

Just reached this place last night. I'm told that there's some nerd here called the "Nameless King" that needs a beating.

Quick one before the rain came down. I've been feeling very loose and floaty on the board lately. Feels good. Also love when the music accidentally syncs up to my skating. Happy little accidents. 🎨🖼️

Stopped by the Portsmouth skatepark for a quick session. Blue Angels practicing for the air show this weekend. Didn't realize I was recording Slayer over the video, but somehow it actually adds to it. AMERICA! 🇺🇸 🦅💥🤘

This is the absolute funniest shit ever. Ultimate Fantastic Four is truly something else. "She meant it." #comicbooks #fantasticfour

Die Another Day is a great film with fantastic locations and set pieces, that presented the idea of a broken Bond a full decade before Skyfall. I'll go one step further. Skyfall might be the best one made, but DAD is the most rewatchable. ONE STEP FURTHER. Die Another Day is the best Brosnan film.

Bond Fans: Dalton is the best Bond/Moore is underrated/etc
Hipsters who hate Bond: Alba as Bond/Bond is rape culture personified/etc
Unseen face: Amateurs.
Hipster: What was that punk?
Die Another Day fan (revealed): AMATEURS.

Picked this bad boy up recently, and started reading through it last night. Very mid-2000's coded, but the story is engaging and I ripped through half the book pretty easily so I guess I must like it.

I don't know why, but this is the funniest skate post I've ever seen.

Trucking through another work day. Remembering why I do this.

A little rolling to Van Halen to start my week off feeling good before I inevitably get burnt out by work again.

Decent skating. Terrible filming. Should've filmed from inside the bowl. Should've also got a clip from the C-bowl, where I spent most of my time today. Oh well. Happy Sunday!

Mail day! This looks fantastic in my limited collection of actual VHS skate tapes.

Got all of this from a thrift store for $3.50. I love 90's Marvel. It was such a trashy, "try anything" era. Love the art style from this era. Very abrasive, and sometimes ugly. Unapologetic as fuck, always.

Five random issues of Marvel Comics' Cable run from the 90's.

Learned two unhinged things today about LinkedIn. Hope this helps a lot of you.

If you're using Easy Apply, please turn off this setting.
It will send a cover letter for a job you've applied to in the past, creating a mismatch to the company and title to what you're currently applying for.
Meanwhile, a hiring manager on Reddit shared that they were DISMISSING otherwise qualified people because their cover letters were mismatched to the company they were applying for.
Either don't use Easy Apply (if there's an option to apply directly on the company's website, try that instead) -OR- be sure to turn "Save resumes and application data" OFF.
Please share with the millions of people who are wondering why they may be having a hard time finding a job.

80°F in Nashua, NH. A little too hot to be in a concrete park with no shade, but I managed to get a little Santana vibing in before I cut the session short.
