skate or die!
I've been less materialistic which is great, but also more isolated and self-absorbed. It hasn't been a bad thing though. My mind has been focused on the things that are going to get me where I want to be. All that matters right now is getting my films done and having money for them and my future. I don't feel like other people.
On the other hand, I'm constantly skateboarding. I've gotten so much better. I officially have been skateboarding for 9 years, but had a lot of gaps after about 4 years. But lately it's like all the times I've missed out on skating is all catching up within weeks and I'm getting better and better and better.
I told my friend G that my family wanted me to help tear up my sister's carpet to put in a new floor and he said seriously "you have a lot of work to do tomorrow, you gotta be on the phone and see if you can use those guns on the Congress Bridge." He always asks how my filming is going so that I don't slack off. That's coming from a man who has more money set for his films than for himself, left a marriage, and sold property so he can focus 100% on his films and make margaritas on the side. I don't know if I can or if I would want to be that Zen but at this point it doesn't matter because I don't have any of that. I just have a camera and a skateboard and a small savings account.
I don't know where I'm going with this, it's late. But yeah Congress Bridge might be shutdown for a few minutes in early November for my movie. The trick is, I applied for a march permit, but instead of protesters, there will be a few cars and some guns with blanks which we're licensed to carry. A major bridge shut down for a few minutes for free, free cops, and no one pays a thing. I love loop holes. It has to be done in one take though.
I might, just might enter a skate competition Sunday. I haven't done one in 6 years or so and I feel a little anxiety about skateboarding in front of other skaters even though they're some of the coolest crowds I've known. I've been skating late at night when no one is around.
