I know you are on the internet to look at porn, but...

not to cock block will and his very thoughtful post (which you should read), but I randomly feel the need to blog.

I'm scared.


I try so so so so hard, and i feel like sometimes this effort is in vain. I try to make a lasting impact on filming in my area, and skateboarding, and i honestly don't feel that anyone is that hyped, or cares that much. It seems to me that everyone just wants to see what they have always seen, and zero progression in production value.

Seems to me that i owe it to what i love to do to progress, despite little or no motivation from skateboarders in the area. Now this may seem like random bitching, but such is not the case. It makes me wonder why i'm doing what i'm doing though. Am I putting effort into something that isn't worth it? Am I making products that people just don't give a fuck about?

Am I blind?

Well...
Maybe I am. But then again, maybe that's the best way to go about things.

Moving on. If the following offends you, then too bad, its a blog, and it's the internet. Furthermore, I don't really care. Me and Bjorn were listening to this tape we bought as a joke the other day. The tape was entitled "America: Why I Love Her." Now we were listening to it for a while, and we both thought it was pretty funny. Slowly though, it began to make me extremely sad. Hear me out. Here is a tape whos sole purpose is to show how much John Wayne loves his country. Now a days, we don't see that anymore. Too often are people criticized for standing for something, and instead, they don't stand for anything, not even their own country.

Simply put, I'm tired of people being so bashful about where they are from (I've been guilty of this before, so please no that i speak with myself in mind). I believe that as Americans, we have the duty to question what our country does. We have the duty to change it, to reform it, to say what we think. But at the same time, we have the duty to care for it, and love it. Instead of saying "America is evil" etc, push to do something about it. Think its impossible? Hardly. We are given so much upon birth, and yet we some how think that we live in such a shit hole. If you don't like the state of the place you live in, then do something about it, stand for something, anything. The man who stands for nothing, doesn't stand at all. Be against laws, policies, etc, or be for them. Get involved. It's your liberty, so use it.

You probably hate me right now, I don't care.
