Bruce Lee rewired my brain with this...

As I write this, the reality still hasn’t fully set in. It was less than a month ago that Marc came to San Jose to hang out. He was sober, healthy, and full of life. We had a blast reminiscing about the old days. He seemed genuinely excited about the future. He even extended his ticket by a couple of days so he could explore some of the old haunts around San Jose. When it came time to drop him off at the airport, he handed me an envelope. I waited until I got home to open it. Inside was a three-page list of his hopes and dreams for the future. Never in a million years did I imagine that less than a month later, he would be gone. I met Marc when he was 17. I watched him achieve all his skateboard dreams, and I sat next to him at the Away Days premiere—only to later watch his career fall apart. I still don’t understand why my friend is gone at 49 years old. I don’t know why he chose to come visit me. Was there some bigger purpose to it, or was he looking for closure? Marc was a genius and a tortured soul. He told me he wanted to be remembered for his skateboarding, not for his failures or shortcomings. He was just a poor kid from Winston-Salem, North Carolina, who grew up in a trailer at the end of a dirt road. Yet he made it out, traveled the world, and touched so many lives. He will live on through the video parts that nobody can recreate. He gave opportunities to people who might never have had a chance otherwise. Without a shadow of a doubt, Marc Johnson was the single most influential person in my life. Everything he did was art. He was endlessly creative and always tried to elevate his friends and everyone around him. He opened doors for guys like me and Jerry, and single-handedly put San Jose back on the map. Marc had the golden touch—whether it was on a skateboard, creating brands, or developing ad campaigns. Marc Johnson passed away today. He was one of the most talented and creative people to ever step on or off a skateboard. - Louie Barletta

It’s been 5 years since we lost our friend Joe Hammeke. He was amazing, a loving husband and father, and great skate photographer. We miss him tremendously ❤️

My happy place. Scroll less. Shred more. Shred the feed.

⚠️ WARREN BUFFET HAS UNDERPERFORMED THE MARKET THE ENTIRE LAST DECADE (2015 - 2025) It's likely bc of the outperformance from tech stocks and this AI run. Do you think Berkshire Hathaway can return to their former glory without the goat?

I’ll never lose complete interest in this app, but it’s just a bunch of people talking about money all the time for the most part and if they’re not talking about money, they’re blaming somebody for their lack of money. I’ve been having a lot more fun, experimenting with new apps and honestly just hanging out in discord with @TheNotOkayBears. You don’t need to reach everybody, you just need reach what is good for you. And build from there.

Are you listening, To your vibrations, Because I am. We need to act as if we have some sort of common ground. We are human all of us. 🤔 common sense, common goals. Can we get to the act of being, or crumble like crumbs to the floor separately even though we from the same place.

Good morning! 💜 Life doesn’t wait - neither should you. "Time runs out, so stop holding on to what’s not worth it and start living for what is.”

You don’t have to be married by the time you’re 30. You don’t have to be an entrepreneur. You don’t have to have kids. You don’t have to do all the same things your friends do, or the things your parents want you to do. You don’t have to do anything except live in a way that is authentically YOU. Don’t forget that.

In life. Funny how things on out on the daily.
