today i spent some time hanging out w a friend. last night we driving somewhere together and while talking we come to the topic of music and he tells me he plays like 10 instruments or so, one of them being a bass guitar! he offered to meet up w me tomorrow and bring it n let me try it out.
this is what his bass looked like. my initial reaction to it was that it looked much smaller than i had envisioned it to be. actually holding it and plucking the strings was really interesting too. guitar players arent kidding when they say playing a guitar hurts your fingers, i was barely doing anything at all and think i caught a callus just barely trying to form on one of mine! i did enjoy messing around w it tho, so i think i might end up getting my own some day. if i do, id love to just slap it all day, i LOVE slap bass.
but not only did my friend bring his bass, he also brought a cici's pizza hat he found one time years ago, and he let me keep it cuz i been asking about it ever since he brought it up.
he gave it to me and i immediately noticed it was a snapback! i had no idea cici's employees were like that... the hat id been wearing before was a baseball cap with the sprout's farmers market logo on it, that coincidentally i had also just found one time. same goes for my honeywell hat. but anyway! it feels a bit odd to wear a snapback, i much more prefer the curve of the bill that baseball caps have, but my friend told me the logo went well with my outfit so ill be wearing the cici's hat from now on.
lastly, because we met up at the skatepark, i brought my skates along cuz it just wouldnt be right going up there and not doing any skating. it was a bit hard to do anything though, my right thigh has been killing me since last night. BUT! it wasnt all for naught. since becoming obsessed with royales after id just learned them, i was thinking about switching up grinds from a royale, and settled on royale to AO top miszou. it was quite tricky to actually get though, i tried many many times. eventually i got it good enough to where i could get it consistenly almost every time i went for it, so that was pretty nice i would say >:). but thats not all! after practicing the switch up i tried doing 540s just for the hell of it. its been a while since id attempted one. and idk what was in the air today, but i actually got some really damn good, i had my friend get a clip of me doing one, and id landed PERFECTLY in the opposite direction, which NEVER happens to me. im not good at doing 360s going forwards and im less good at 540s, but somehow today i guess the forces were feeling generous. thank you forces! immediately after getting that clip however i couldnt land any 540s anymore. i must have overstayed my welcome with the forces. im sorry forces.
anywayyy thats all i gotta say. til next time!
