Rollerblading Advice

I’ve gotten confident enough in my rollerblading that I don’t even wear pads anymore (I still keep the knee pads around - they come in handy when your girlfriend comes over). My issue is an emotional imbalance rather than a physical one - I’m not confident enough to rollerblade in public by myself. Mad props to those that do. Luckily, a few friends of mine also worship the 8 wheels and occasionally rip a fat blade sesh with me. If any of you want to become one of these friends, you’re more than welcome to join the Band of Bladers. I’ll send you an invite to our Facebook group.

Before you do, I’ll drop you some advice:

  • You gotta go inline if you want any kind of respect in this community. 

  • The surface you choose will make or break your sesh. Amateur tip: “Road Work Ahead” signs mean fresh ‘crete ahead, and that’s where you’ll glide.

  • Having a few drinks before a sesh will help you reach a confidence level to a point where you’ll blade alone, but don’t drink too much for obvious reasons. There’s definitely a sweet spot I need to find. Will report back.

  • Totally underrated, but make sure to blade on a beach boardwalk or park pathway where you have sand or grass on either side of you that you can bail into. Keep those knees unscathed - like I’m kindly helping your girlfriend prevent.

New dating app: Humble

A combination of Hinge and Bumble, where women make the first move and everyone kind of just downplays everything about themselves. It’ll have all the essentials for your dating app needs: 

  • Interactive prompts

  • A premium plan that you’ll consider in a desperation but never commit to

  • Cat and kittyfishing

  • Low success rate from match to in-person date

Over the past couple years I’ve learned dating apps are hard – I struggle to even match with the ads nowadays. People like me (and most of your reading this) need all the help we can get. The beauty of Humble is it levels the playing field: you don’t know if you’re about to date a superstar or a loser until you meet in person. And what could go wrong there?

This is a shitty idea. Better idea - treat every social media app like a dating app. You might have noticed an uptick in thirst traps on my Instagram recently. That’s by design. This grassroots blogger will officially be putting his body and social profile on the line to see if thirst traps provide results. Is this for science or an act of desperation? Doesn’t matter. Wish me fuck! ... I mean luck.

New Segment: End of Week Update

I feel like I need to use this platform for good, and the best thing someone can be is informed. Welcome to the news segment.

Pro-Russian hackers claim responsibility for knocking US airport websites offline

This left Americans disappointed as they attempted to navigate airport websites in search of the most prime times to book their air travel. 

This especially hit home for Denver airport patrons who wouldn’t consider themselves pro-Russ or pro “hack-it” as the Denver Broncos have left their playoff hopes grounded after repeated lack of success in primetime.


I thought the African American community already had “alone solution” with blackpeoplemeet.com?


Zelenskyy’s move toward the West for air defense was a no-brainer given that flight has historically been encouraged by Far East Movement.
