Had a really good day today.

3 good things

  1. Heelflipped the set (baker maker) i’m counting it

  2. Riding the ferry was super nice

  3. Coming home and doing muscle therapy is nice

I said yesterday that I needed to get my body ready for something. Well it looks like this era of my life is making my child dream come true of just being able to skate things. It’s definitely hurting my body a bit, but it feels right right now. I’m going to try and heelflip and then ollie the set. But maybe I should just heelflip, heelflip the set. What would be deebo would be front 3 and then heelflip the set. We’ll see.

Again, here’s just another animation of typography. I haven’t figured out exactly what I want to do with all this stuff, but I like the idea of making something and then just having some kind of end collage I guess to display on linkedin for shits and giggles.

3 good things

  1. Got groceries

  2. Gemma has a ball to play with and is tired by the end of the day

  3. rested so that i’m ready for the skatepark tomorrow

My goals tomorrow at the skatepark are to practice ollieing the set over there. Practice 50-50 axel stalls. get the front 50-50 on the long hubba. What would be cool is front 50-50 front shuv out.

I’m happy that like today in the morning, I’m realizing that I’m going through a different era in my life. Right now I get to refocus on skateboarding which has been very freeing and liberating. The fact that I’m taking care of myself and there is no need to care for anyone else except for Gemma is very nice.

There’s not much that I want to do right now, but I need to start getting ready for something. My body can feel it that I need to start preparing. I don’t want to make zines like I did because I don’t need to go through my traumas again. It’s nice that therapy has shifted from death to fun, love, relationships, and what do I want to do with my life.

The fall/winter is a transformative time for me. I’m ready to start doing something new again even if that just means skating hard.

Wednesday

I think i’m just playing right now which is kind of nice. No pressure to show off anything even though I post it on the skrrt story on instagram. I think right now it’s ok, but I’m not sure what I should be doing. I have this need to just be skating right now.

Well I made another animation today. I’m not sure what I’m doing exactly except just playing around. There are a lot of cool videos on youtube. Maybe I’ll just follow a video instruction everyday for 30 days. Doesn’t have to be my own thing, but something related to skrrt.
