Two rad cats. One is 1/2 retarded, so he tends to get thrashed by the other one. I think I relate more to the retarded one.
Advice to fellow skateboarders?
Do what you love and try not to look at what other people occupy themselves with. Most people seem restless and bounce around too much to focus or even pay attention enough to themselves to figure out exactly what they really do love, as opposed to what the people that surround them are doing.
