tip to functional stoners who skateboard: smoke weed and practice any flat ground trick that you haven't completely mastered the physics of. It makes you think of new ways to do tricks you can't do! seriously today i learned big spins and it was such an intense progression in my head! i was like ok lets not just fling the board wildly and try to catch it. and it worked, but up until that point i didnt like visualize this certain way of how the board could move to do the same trick...and also when your stoned and you learn a new trick its like a mad awesome breakthrough

anyways this summer i feel like i'm being pretty productive. i also feel like i was more anti-social and less productive at NYU than i wish i had been. I also regret not reading when i was younger, but i dont really feel bad about it. It's somewhat like how i wish i had skateboarded when i was 2 years old cuz i'd be much better now, but it's also different because what i did when i was young affected how my brain developed. Not like i can't read or it takes me way longer than everyone else or anything, but this is the same kind of piontless neuropsychological paranoia i have about how i was brought up. Well maybe not paranoia...it's hard to explain. I totally believe in the incredible plasticity of the brain. But i also wonder about how i was brought up and how my parents choices in raising me affected my brain and personality. And I also wonder about how my experiences in school affected me. Mainly with my social life, because I definitely used to be really impressionable. Maybe i still am. But how can one good or bad experience affect a kid? Like how far is the scope of the damage that one really dissapointing social interaction can have on the outgoing part of the kid's personality?

talking is so so important
