mnctech101 (9:33:57 PM) : what kind of girl would cling to the skate industry for an identity?
stringrbarksdale (9:34:04 PM) : a sociopath.
mnctech101 (9:34:07 PM) : "i'm down with baker..."
mnctech101 (9:34:08 PM) : ha
stringrbarksdale (9:34:12 PM) : i'm serious
mnctech101 (9:34:27 PM) : how do you figure?
stringrbarksdale (9:34:59 PM) : any girl who needs attention from socially retarded skate dudes is sociopathic
mnctech101 (9:35:08 PM) : a fair assessment
mnctech101 (9:35:19 PM) : do you feel like skating retarded you socially?
stringrbarksdale (9:35:40 PM) : in a way, also accelerated in a way
mnctech101 (9:35:53 PM) : yeah i was talking to my girl about this a while ago
stringrbarksdale (9:35:59 PM) : because you meet so many people from different areas
mnctech101 (9:36:02 PM) : i came to the same conclusion
mnctech101 (9:36:07 PM) : yeah
mnctech101 (9:36:22 PM) : but you also tend to associate with people who don't do too much
stringrbarksdale (9:36:33 PM) : mostly
stringrbarksdale (9:36:44 PM) : skaters are mostly more interesting that regular people anyway
mnctech101 (9:37:05 PM) : so long as they're not completely immersed in skating
mnctech101 (9:37:34 PM) : i met lots of people early on, like when i was 12, that i'd have never known without skating
mnctech101 (9:37:39 PM) : put me on to lots of things early
stringrbarksdale (9:37:41 PM) : yeah totally
stringrbarksdale (9:38:13 PM) : i have completely lost contact with everyone i hung out with in high school
stringrbarksdale (9:38:19 PM) : besides dudes i used to skate with
mnctech101 (9:39:29 PM) : yeah
mnctech101 (9:39:30 PM) : me too
mnctech101 (9:40:13 PM) : i lost regular contact with pretty much everyone i knew before i was 18, 19
mnctech101 (9:40:16 PM) : they all quit skating
stringrbarksdalemnctech101 (9:57:20 PM) : i hate the new msg board, that fucking flannel motif
stringrbarksdale (9:57:25 PM) : all the message board posting is pushing it into CRITICAL OVERLOAD
mnctech101 (9:57:37 PM) : heh
mnctech101 (9:57:48 PM) : transfer the msg board to usenet
stringrbarksdale (9:57:49 PM) : "she's gonna blow!!!!!"
mnctech101 (9:57:53 PM) : ha
mnctech101 (9:57:58 PM) : like one dude posts something
mnctech101 (9:58:18 PM) : "andrew reynolds said that greco's wack now"
mnctech101 (9:58:22 PM) : *kablam*
stringrbarksdale (9:58:27 PM) : yes, transfer to usenet
stringrbarksdale (9:58:32 PM) : text only
mnctech101 (9:58:36 PM) : binaries
stringrbarksdale (9:58:38 PM) : heh
stringrbarksdale (9:58:45 PM) : never figured that shit out
mnctech101 (9:58:51 PM) : yeah
mnctech101 (9:59:35 PM) : i remember when i discovered usenet, my news reader couldn't display binaries, so i'd just see them as blocks of text. i spent a couple of minutes looking at one, expecting a magic eye-like effect.
stringrbarksdale (9:59:44 PM) : yeah me too
stringrbarksdale (9:59:54 PM) : i read it in Unix
mnctech101 (10:00:02 PM) : how did you find usenet anyway?
stringrbarksdale (10:00:26 PM) : it was a function of the Columbia email program--CUnix
mnctech101 (10:00:43 PM) : yeah i found it through netcom, my isp at the time
mnctech101 (10:00:57 PM) : "message boards, eh. wonder if there's a skate one"
mnctech101 (10:01:35 PM) : i think google owns usenet now
stringrbarksdale (10:01:47 PM) : how did that work
mnctech101 (10:01:55 PM) : they bought all the content
stringrbarksdale (10:01:59 PM) : i thought it was like...a noncommercial entity
mnctech101 (10:02:03 PM) : priceless posts

mnctech101 (10:03:53 PM) : that dude matt barone writes for rap magazines now
stringrbarksdale (10:04:09 PM) : "a growth industry, for sure"
mnctech101 (10:07:49 PM) : these people in my classes asked me about writing for skate mags
mnctech101 (10:07:54 PM) : "how can i get in?"

mnctech101 (10:08:39 PM) : "don't ask for money"
stringrbarksdale (10:08:53 PM) : yes, don't ask for money
stringrbarksdale (10:09:02 PM) : don't expect to be compensated for work
mnctech101 (10:09:10 PM) : not from skate mags
mnctech101 (10:09:15 PM) : maybe you'll get a hoodie or something
stringrbarksdale (10:09:27 PM) : i would settle for a sheet of grip
mnctech101 (10:09:34 PM) : grip's expensive
