Am I getting old... or is skate culture getting really shitty?

[counterfeit_joy]

I was at a bar last night with a bunch of skaters from L.A. and they were completley thugged out. I think Jamie Thomas was there. He's my second favorite skater of all time, but I remember an article I have where he says he is sXe. If so he broke for he was drinking a beer. Not that I care, for it has no bearing on my life what he does. It just made it so I couldnt go up to him and say, "Hey Jamie I like your style." because I wasnt really sure if it was him. It did look like him. But he even looked a bit more hip hop, when he has been usually rock n' roll. I dont know. If it had been Rodney Mullen I would have a pproached him, for he was the innovator of "street". I think he is a big deal in the world of skating. He invented so many tricks and he is still skating today. But anyway, there was this one guy who looked about 15 dressed in all camo and had the ugliest "bling" ( not that i find any bling attractive at all ) that looked like that shit you can buy for $30 at the mall... It really made me sad. I just looked back when I started skating and all the bands it got me into. Now its what fashion it will get you into... I still love the Black Label, Acme and Zero teams for keeping the music in skating dangerous. I hate hip hop and skating combined... on their own they are great... but together, I dont likey. I just felt weird and out of place there in my fitted jeans and my hellacopters shirt. I guess I am just a misfit.

also... my friend invited me to her house... when I got there I freaked out... its a bad place for me... very very bad place... I know someone who used to live there and now they are dead and that is where all the bad started.... the house is evil... and i will stand by that... I never wanted to be in there.. she would never want to leave... its like the house wanted to take her... its strange and I was lucky Kayla was with me at the time...
