  • I never really dreamed of being anything when I grew up but now that I’m older I would say I wish I stuck with skateboarding and baseball. I was really good at baseball as a kid. I actually got picked up to play at the LLWS on ESPN when I was 13. About a month after, I broke my wrist skateboarding and gained weight which took me out of baseball for good. It took decades but since then, I’ve lost over 100lbs and I’m back to a healthier lifestyle. Skateboarding just holds some of my best memories from childhood, especially going to the old Vans skatepark at Potomac Mills (does anyone remember the video you could unlock of Tony Hawk doing a 900 on THPS1? That was filmed on the 16’ halfpipe at Vans in Potomac Mills) I remember at one point they had a wall of tvs with xbox, playstation, and gamecube consoles too for the adults and younger siblings. I gotta stop or nobody will have time to read my nostalgia-bomb novel over here.





  • We actually just had another fitness epidemic here similar to the 90s but slightly more gym related than outdoor related. Protein powder was HUGE on tiktok shop and fairly big in stores. I happen to be a target of the powder supplement as a medical issue caused me to start my journey in losing over 100lbs in less than a year. I was having overnight oats with extra protein everyday. I have some left but now that I’ve lost the weight and kept most of the muscle, I’m back on whole foods only, especially for protein.

    Edit: if you look it up, theres’s a lot written about the “fitness influencer to right wing pipeline”
