That new skate park is totally awesome. I had it all to myself because it was so cold. That's rad! So cool that you got to experience it all by yourself for the first time. No scooter kids to trip you up, what a concept! You're lucky to have one so close by! Close is good, of course, but I don't mind traveling a bit to get to a good one. There used to be one about half and hour's ride from me but it closed because there were too many injuries.  Yeah, the injuries are what scares me. I've seen some videos that are truly horrific and the way some of these guys launch themselves off of the tops of stairs and down railings and stuff, I'm not surprised. That's what's kept me from skating, honestly. I don't like the sight of my own blood. I've never considered skating to be dangerous, it's trying to outdo the next idiot that causes injuries. It's probable safer for me to be on my board than it is riding the bike to the park. Some people shouldn't be allowed to drive.  No argument there. I've definitely seen dumber stuff from people in cars than people on boards. I think in addition to a driving test, you should have to take an IQ test to get a license. And maybe get x-rays to make sure there's a brain in the head. You're not driving at all, are you? I did get the license, and the folks would let me use the car if I would pay for my insurance. I guess I need to put down the guitar and get a job or figure out a way for my fun and hobbies to pay the bills.  Yeah, just gotta find that balance. It can be challenging, but you'll figure it out. Whatever you do, don't give up on that guitar completely. You have a rare talent for it that not a lot of people possess and you love music more than anyone I know. Starving Artist - that's me not too far down the road unless I find means to a paycheck. I know some people just work to pay for their time off, that sounds like drudgery. Know what I mean? Yup, sure do. It's that old song lyric, "Everybody's working for the weekend..." Some people hear that as a party anthem but it always sounded like a tragedy to me, a story of a life gone wrong. It's something to avoid, if you can -- especially for someone like yourself, who aspires to bigger and better things. And who can achieve them, I have no doubt. You're blowing smoke up my butt...lol. How about you get some time off and we will go to the zoo. Tell your boss I said you need R&R. Just because smoke is blowing doesn't mean it's not true, lol! Don't worry, my boss already knows I need R&R -- he's seen me at my worst! I haven't been to the zoo in years. They still have animals there, right?
