274. Expired and Tired

So one of those recently has been skateboarding.

Cut to a clip.

And I am enjoying that a lot.

I will say I was kind of hoping I haven't really skateboarded much since I was like 12.

You know, like you do a little skateboarding, you try and hop back on.

And the reason I stopped skateboarding when I was a kid really was because it got so expensive.

You're tearing through your shoes and your grip tape.

I'm not going to drop seven.

I don't have 70 bucks to drop.

um so it's just so expensive and then you keep going back and forth when you get a little bit of money and you start slamming harder so i i occasionally will spend like a week getting back into it like just kind of sneaking just trying to sneak in before gravity gravity notices and then i slam and go oh you caught me yeah i was trying to skateboard again because the slams they do hurt right i think part of me is like i'm not a kid i'm not a wimp I know what it feels like to fall again.

I could get back up and you fall and you're like, oh, that one actually feels a lot worse than it did before, so...

Okay, all right, so I'm just trying to persevere right now.

I've talked about this before, but it's a joking theory that I'm beginning to buy into that I believe human beings and adults specifically should be falling more, all right? Once you reach your 20s, everybody goes, my back, I'm so sore, I don't feel this.

And you're 30s and people are aching and needing chiropractors and stretches and whatever.

My epiphany is, Okay.

INTERESTING THOUGHTS! Skip the details and the plots! These are some of my interesting thoughts! Hmm...

Is...

Hopefully I remember to put that the skateboard club and the little theme song in.

But that I think human beings should be falling more.

And the reason it hurts so much is because you're not right.

As a kid, you're bumping and bashing and everything.

You're tripping, you're falling.

You keep popping back up.

Why? Because you're doing it all the time.

OK, but the second that you don't, you get pretty good at walking.
