Busy doing nothing.
I dig my way out and life fills it up again, just like the oft-referenced guy with the rock.
Hello and welcome to day whatever and eleventeen of upside-down dystopialand where nothing makes sense, everyone is mad at each other, and I'm still over here thinking opening doors for people makes a difference.
One thing I do know for certain is that small trucks are still just about the chillest way a person can have fun on the planet;
Here I'm caught filming the latest in my series of 'slo-mo-clips-of-trucks-dumping-a-bunch-of-shit-out-of-the-back' which is almost assuredly going to eventually net me an Emmyoscargrammy.If you'd like to see the finished project, I got you;
It's not my finest work, but I was trying to film with no tripod on a super windy day in between a bunch of scampering European teenagers and weekenders just looking for a nice place to leave a bunch of trash and smoke weed.
I promise to do better next time.
Also, people consistently ask me about my trucks, and I always have the same boring answer. The big ones are an Axial Bomber with a custom Proline Chevy body, and the black one is just a boring old Traxxas TRX Hightrail.
My little ones are an Axial Jeep with custom 24th scale model bodies, and the white one is Traxxas TRX4M;
The little ones are pretty inexpensive, and are endlessly customizable. If you think you might fancy one, head to your local hobby shop and ask the resident nerd Yoda to help you out.
I like to stuff mine in a backpack, go on a mountain bike ride, and then geek out on the odd pile of rocks for a little while. Considering the current state of the world, any chance we can get to play, we should.
Let's see- What else do I have? Ah yes... My pal Bernie put one of his signed Paisley decks up for auction to benefit our other friend Kevin and his ongoing cancer treatment;
It's too steep for my blood, but I'm sure there's some Richie Rich, or Richie Rachel out there who would love to have this particular piece of history.
If you just would like to throw Kevin some scrill, 10 or 20 bucks from a bunch pockets can make all the difference.
And speaking of skateboards, did yinzers sleep on the announcement that at long last I have finally released the AHTBM x BLKPRJKT skateboard deck?;
Man, I love this thing.I probably seem like a sham at this point, trying to sell skateboards when I myself haven't been on one much to speak of in months and months but for the sake of clarity, I did bring one with me on my recent trip down south, and at some point in the first five hours of my drive, exchanged a battery of text messages with my orthopedic surgeon and famed frame builder Dr. Christopher Wahl which went kinda like this;
Me: "Can you tell me from a professional perspective if I can ride a skateboard yet?"
Dr. Wahl: "How long ago was the actual revision?"
Me: "November 29th."
Dr. Wahl: "It's a bit early, TBH. Graft isn't fully mature healing-wise until 6 months, and re-tear rates at 6 months are much higher than at 9-12 months. If it were me, I'd spend time on the bike, and wait til at least the 6 month mark. You don't wanna go through this again."
So in the back of my truck my board stayed, but I've been thinking a lot about just simply pushing around. Not hitting any coping, not going above and beyond... Just pushing. What harm could possibly come from it?
I mean, besides all of the things.
Now that we've covered all of those little bits and bites, just like clockwork, I have the brand newest episode of Revolting;
Shave your ears and wax your teeth. It's a good one.
With that, and going into the week, don't forget to do no harm but take no shit.
Push comes to shove, you can just continue digging out of that proverbial hole.

Honestly I kinda don’t get the small truck thing but when I saw the tiny bike painted like your Blue Collar fall out of the back, I think I kinda get the small truck thing.
Doggie paddle saves lives.
