With A Purpose

   In all honesty, when I created this blog... I wasn't sure what my "goal" or objective was. I'm sure not trying to get sponsored lol And I'm not really trying to play the retail game with tshirts and skateboard decks (haha That's an uphill battle!) but I knew I wanted to do SOMETHING.

   I've always been agnostic atheist.. growing up, etc. I've always been interested in the idea of faith and spirituality. I've always investigated it. But it was nothing that struck me particularly.

   Here I am now, almost 30 years old; and I still don't claim to have it all figured out. Recently, though.. I've been really searching. And something placed the word in my ears. The thought in my head. Something has told me; "do this."    ....and so, I will. I might as well.

   That brings me to where I am today. Writing a blog whose (I hope) ends justify it's means. For now, these just seem like silly words. Incoherent sentences and private thoughts. But I know, one day, my message will reach somebodys heart. I've been writing for almost a year now. The website, also a year old. And I'm just now seeing it pull itself together.

   It's a great feeling!

   This past year (well, the past 7 years really lol) I've been battling some shit in my personal life. For a while, I used skating as an escape. A way to get away from my responsible adult reality haha But recently, I've actually tried binding my personal life and my passion for skating. I've used it as a tool. And in the process, I've really developed exactly what I want this site to be

   It further proves everything I've been thinking. It's just like working on a new trick, or a new line. You need to first envision it. See it's completion. Then you start analyzing the mechanics of it, and you start planning how you can make it work. Before my very eyes, this idea has taken life And is growing and living with me! It's evolved so much in the past 10 months; and I'm beyond excited to see where it continues!

   Thank you ALL for the help, inspiration, and support. As always, any and all feedback is greatly appreciated. Any suggestions, or questions.

Let's work together & keep the shred alive
