General:
IF YOU HAVE KIDS- FILM THEM AS MUCH AS YOU CAN. EVEN FOR A COUPLE SECONDS A DAY. NEVER STOP WORKING ON YOURSELF. TRY TO MAKE YOURSELF THE BEST YOU THAT YOU CAN BE. LIFE IS SHORT, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU SHOULDN'T TRY TO MAKE IT GOOD. WORKING FOR THINGS IS REWARDING. LIVE FAST DIE YOUNG? HOWS ABOUT "LIVE RAD, DIE PROUD" LISTEN TO TOMMYS CHEST - DIE TRYING, DON'T TRY TO DIE. USE GOOD JUDGMENT EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO PRIVACY, GIVE PEOPLE THAT. ITS EASY TO "NOT GIVE A FUCK" YOUR NOT COOL WHEN YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT ANYTHING. IT IS MUCH HARDER AND COOLER TO "GIVE A FUCK" TO CARE AND TO TRY. LIFE IS ABOUT THE SMALL THINGS. AS YOU GET OLDER YOU WILL APPRECIATE THESE SMALL THINGS. SUPPORT WHAT YOU LIKE. EVERYONE LOOKS OUT FOR NUMBER ONE. YOUTUBE IS COOL FOR YOUR OWN VIDEOS- NOT FOR PUTTING OTHERS VIDEOS UP. IF I LIKE A COMPANY OR A SKATER I WILL SUPPORT THEM, CAUSE I WANT TO HAVE THEM AROUND, I WANT TO SEE MORE VIDEOS, AND MORE PRODUCTS. IT IS INEVITABLE TO BE ANNOYED BY THINGS, AND TO NOT LIKE CERTAIN PEOPLE. BUT SKATING IS A COMMUNITY! WE HAVE TO STICK TOGETHER, CAUSE THERE ARE MORE NON-SKATERS THAN THERE ARE SKATERS. SPREADING HATE ON MESSAGE BOARDS AND THINGS LIKE THAT ARE A BUMMER FOR OUR COMMUNITY. BE SAFE OUT THERE. TRY TO KILL WITH KINDNESS AND SHOW PEOPLE THAT WE AREN'T DELINQUENTS, THAT WE ARE SONS, DAUGHTERS, BROTHERS, SISTERS, PARENTS, THAT WE ARE GOOD PEOPLE WITH A PASSION. WE ARE WORTH SUPPORTING. SKATERS ARE ATHLETIC, CREATIVE, DRIVEN, AND ONE OF A KIND. TAKE CARE!
