A nice 77 °F (25 °C) October Sunday morning. Gonna be a great day. Again, you guys should go out and enjoy this lovely weather!

Broke my [bleep]ing headphones. Out 80$.

 

 

 

[bleep]'s sake.

MY SHINS! THEY BURN!

 

Considering I haven't done any form of exercise/cardio w/e in a year, im trying to build my stamina back up from nothing...and these joggers suck. Maybe I should buy those feet-shoes since I walk around bare foot all the time

 

Bike or swim instead. Walking/running/jogging hurts the knees.

no bike and it's too cold to swim. Plus I have weak lungs so swimming is out of the question for exercise. I was planning to try out the weights but the area was choc full of about 10 high school kids +3 others. and I'd rather not waltz in, confused as [bleep] and look stupid. Not in front of a large group like that anyway. Maybe I'll sneak out @ 12am and go.

If you've got weak lungs, surely swimming is better than running (if the temperature were appropriate, that is).

Every guru was once a newb, Tim. Don't be embarrassed to ask. I was at the skatepark with a friend a few years ago (must have been 13 at the time). This 30 year-old ex-skater showed up and asked the kids half his age to help him learn to ollie again, and learn to ollie again he did. As long as you're friendly, modest about your present abilities and positive about your development, in whatever you do, people won't refuse to help you.

Speaking of that, how in the [bleep] do you ollie? I tried to learn for hours, but I could never make the board get up off the ground enough. Is it supposed to smack into the ground?

Why did you buy these expensive headphones?

Tail smacks the ground, launching the board vertically and causing it to rotate (this is also what happens when you pop your tail while standing behind your board in order to catch it). In order to flatten out the board, your front foot slides up on the grip (with your small toe, as your sole wouldn't slide easily enough).

Originally, you didn't need to pop, and pretty much relied on your back foot to raise the nose a bit, then on your front foot to raise the tail while your nose is still in mid-air. Now, people pop because the first part of the trick already launches you up.

Also, you don't want to get in the way of your skateboard. Suck your knees up to let the board go as high as it can.

I didn't know anything about technology. Still, they were very nice while they lasted. Turtle Beach PX21s. I had the P21s before them and they broke too. Never again.

My dad fixed them :^_^:

 

Funnily enough, had I not bought my soldering iron (which I use to smoke) it could not have been done.

 

I have a birthday coming up so it's not like it would have been the end of the world, but now I can get something else :thumbup:

 

 

Oh US consumerism. We love you so.

Wait, what?

Just started visiting forums again and the RS section is still full of immature kids. I've spent the past 6 months finishing up PT for basic training. I set off for BCT for the US Army in 6 months and then will be an IT for the Army, managing off-shore data-centers for the US.

Looks like nomrombom made another account....

Did Nom get banned?

 

I have thanksgiving dinner tonight, and I really don't want to go. I would much rather be working on the deadest night of the year.

Got all my hours for my permit. I just need to practice parallel parking some more and I'm ready for my test. :thumbup:

Yeah, I was actually wondering if someone got banned.

I didn't actually fill out that form to record all my hours. They didn't even ask for it. :P

What's wrong with a lighter? Why would you use a soldering iron to smoke?

I volunteered to direct marathon runners earlier today. It was getting to the end finally, after about 2 hours of standing on a corner, but there was the occasional runner. After my longest break yet, I decide to call it a day. Little did I know all of my friends who were all on different intersections had left over an hour ago. Thanks for telling me jackasses. To top it off I get back to University to find that they had already gone for breakfast and didn't even think about telling me that they left. [bleep] you too.

-no refills necessary

-less cost over time due to the above

-no butane inhalation

-no butane taste

-can be used for soldering

-could be used to vaporize rather than combust

 

 

 

Did I mention no butane taste?

Must be impractical to carry around all the time though?

No cancer sticks here :thumbup:

So let me get this straight. You bought a soldering iron to light cigarettes with, but you don't have any cigarettes to light? Then why buy the soldering iron in the first place?

Ah, everything makes sense now :razz:

 

I've got a running test in PE tomorrow, not looking forward to it. Went running last night and tonight to warm up a bit, and I have a feeling the test won't go so well.
