some stuff what happened on my skateboard

I have declared a lunchbreak after an unproductive however long its been trying to get into the current art project im struggling with, partly in order to indulge in a snickers bar (the first of only 5 from our tescos order), and partly to write things here, on this blog, which you are reading.

I've been skateboarding a few times and it's lifted me out of my monumental post-crash and burn sulk. And in that time i've mostly been playing around on hard wheels and a little board, and it seems to have endless novelty value. And from the novelty and fun and energy has come some progress, which is the correct kind of order of things. Oh Crash and Burn, why were you not in this order for me?

 The other day I was at a skate, and a dude said "Hey whos is that Earthwing over there?" and I said "uh dunno, maybe connors?"

That was my board. You know you've majorly lost something when you cant even recognise the skateboard that took you to belgium with the lush crew, or let you grip bopeep corner faster and faster until it got stupid, or loads of other cool stuff i've done in the "going fast" subcategory of this thing. I've lost it like hell, like an absolute chump and it really, really sucks.

I think it came from a feeling that something good was going to happen at Bopeep. I fully believed it was time for eveything to come together in some immense way, and when it didnt, when it was so not fun and not immense and I skated so, so stupidly, it caught me out. It was like running for a bus and not just not being fast enough to catch it, but getting run over on the way. I had this sense that I had missed out and messed up.

But I want to get back on it, at last.

Anyway back to art projects for the moment...
