 Lately I've been seeing that the skateboard industry is finally coming to the realization about the economy. This economy is in trouble. We're dealing with hard times. You know this and I know this. There are still companies out there that want to pretend we're not... but we are. This is not new. But, it's interesting to see the skateboard industry finally coming around and saying that. Sentences like this have started appearing in magazines: INSTEAD OF TAKING THE ENTIRE SKATE TEAM TO INDIA THIS PAST FALL, WE OPTED TO DRIVE UP TO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA FOR A WEEK. Jesus, are you serious? You had to put off a trip to fuckin' INDIA this year? Damn, that sucks!
I've been looking around lately, and it seems that the skateboard industry is starting resort back to the way it was almost 20 years ago. The average skateboarders are still buying boards, shoes, clothing, and all their accessories (like IPOD bookbags???) but instead of trying to look like their favorite pro or team, they buy what is economical to them. A lot of kids are buying cheap pants, blank shirts, shoes on super-sale, and their local skateshop boards. Also, more people are starting to make videos of their friends or themselves skateboarding and putting them up on the internet. Some of these dudes are pretty good, too. You should check some of 'em out. I've made a few of 'em. I won't lie.
I feel blessed that I live in one of the few areas of the United States that hasn't been hit as hard as the rest of the Country in terms of Recession/Depression. Anyone can tell you that if you live in an area with a major military/NASA presence, you're going to be doing pretty good. But I'm tightening my belt buckle, too. Just this past week I had to cancel my monthly nipple-waxing. I resorted to wiping my ass with quarters instead of $100 bills. My prostitution ring cut out FRIDAY NIGHT FOOD FEST AT APPLEBEES and changed to a pot-luck at Miss Sweeney's house. She has a lovely home, too.
The truth is, we all are suffering. Don't hide it. Showcase your poorness like the rest of us. Let's all wear t-shirts that exclaim how broke we are right now. We can get tattoos of a repo-man taking away our mobile homes. Let's stand up on the tallest mountain and shout as loud as we can HEY FUCKERS! I'M BROKE! I'M AN AMERICAN! I MIGHT GET THROUGH IT, OR I MIGHT CALL IT QUITS AND SHOOT MYSELF! WHO THE FUCK KNOWS?!?!?!
Ok, maybe don't shout that. But, you are a pretty smart person. You'll figure out what you want to say. I already have.
