You know, I'm good. I work for me. I've got an aeron chair and a 36-fader control surface with three monitors and a DK Jellyfish and I make hundreds of dollars per day mixing Youtube cartoons. If I wanna take off at 2:30 in the afternoon and skateboard to Redondo Beach I totally can. And I have a retirement fund, rental income, a beautiful wife and an adorable daughter. And none of that looks like it's gonna change any time soon. Given my 'druthers I'd sell the novel for a gajillion bucks and move the fuck and gone out of LA but the only thing stopping me from doing that is the fickle taste of the marketplace and the aforementioned Youtube cartoons. Just haven't had time to edit shit in like four months. So really, unless I can pick "me, with an extra 20 hours a week or so" I gotta say my cup runneth over.
you do realize I live in RB right? You do realize that next time you do this you must now swoop me up, carry me on your shoulder and throw me into the ocean so I can live a little more than I currently am. edit: also, I too have a skateboard so I can skate next to you if the shoulder thing ain't your style. edit 2: I have rye. Or had. It's almost gone. edit 3: also i saw your old comment from something like 30 days ago (not on here) featuring your daughter and it was literally the most adorably badass thing I've ever seen. You are lucky guy and she definitely is your daughter. Totally going to grow up to be as feisty as you. Watch out.take off at 2:30 in the afternoon and skateboard to Redondo Beach
Warlizard is awesome. I approve of your internet personality obsessions.
You can't stalk KB until you get your ass to LA! So hurry up. It was 80 degrees today and yesterday!
I did not know that. I myself am in PDR. Redondo is a "almost always" on the bike and a "hot damn I'm cruizin'" on the 'board. I will warn you. It's a longboard. Worse than that, it's a pintail. Worse than that, it's an Arbor. Still worse, I stand-up paddle. So ride next to me and be virtually assured of mockery from Will Rogers to Torrance.
The only time I've used a pole it was a simply a big ass stick. I wish I had a photo of me using it but alas, I only seem to have this one. Have you ever been stand up paddle boarding on the ocean? That is one of the greatest things ever.
We have two down on the boat in RB. You and the wife and child are more than welcome to use them whenever. It's a lot more fun when kids are a bit older and can really understand all the sea life. Watching a 5 year old discover seals or sea slugs or seaweed is a really fun experience. "It barks like a dog but it looks like a whale! I don't know what to do with myself!"
The first time I started to truly warm up to the idea of children was at the Monterey Aquarium. I was having a killer time but I realized I'd be having a more killer time with a kid around… Thanks for the offer. Might take you up one of these days...
No, those things are dork-tastic as hell. I built my own pole based on some of the findings of the Silverfish guys. It cost me like $25. I ride a Pin Bamboo. Kahuna's boards are like, amazingly shit. The trucks are loose, the bearings are crap, the wheels aren't round and the board itself is like a 2x4. They're really crappy and uber-expensive for what you get. Arbor costs, like, a lot but they're made in San Diego, their headquarters is a short bike ride away in Venice and they're about the most eco-conscious skate/snow company out there.
that's cool man, good on ya. hope i end up in a similar situation, even if I end the day wishing there was an hour or two left.
