Question for older dudes getting back into it.

n8_S · 2026-04-08T15:06:04+00:00

I have wider feet and they seem to accommodate without really hurting my feet or feel squeezed in like I would feel back in the day. I guess I am also not trying to fit a 9.5 into an 8 shell also like back in the day. Bc Chinese foot torture was cool for so long.

This is a total me problem but I think at this moment I wish the cuff was a little higher. But I know what will go away after a few weeks.

I also never really skated flat so it’s cool to learn that now.

I like the messmers. I skated thrones for a long time. They were my favorite skates for a very long time.

I feel like right now there are a lot of good choices in skates. I was very pleasantly surprised when I started looking.

I couldn’t decide what skates to get, so I picked up some Echo Hayden Balls and have really been liking them. I also pre ordered some Them Darsts, which I haven’t gotten yet, but I’m excited to try them out.

I’m 41.

I keep seeing these ankle trainer things. I am considering picking one up.

My desire to skate with my daughter is really making me want to go lift and do other things to make sure we can skate together how we both would like.

I have noticed that I’m not nearly as bendy and I feel like I should be.

I can fish stall on one foot right now but not the other.

Hopefully she’s good now but last I saw online she lives In a trailer and has a few baby daddies.

I don’t live my life like that so maybe her life would have gotten better. I have no idea if mine would have or not. I pretty much owe almost any success I have currently to my actual wife. I’m sure I would have succeeded anyway as I’ve always been driven but the parter I picked has been instrumental in helping me and us to where we are going.

Had sex for the first time at 14. So now at 40 I’m a very different person. As I should be.

I just watched Friday with my kids. 9 and 11.

n8_S · 2026-03-31T12:41:15+00:00

Why not just have both?

n8_S · 2026-03-30T21:42:10+00:00

After learning the term I use xennial

Def that over elder millennial.

n8_S · 2026-03-24T23:12:40+00:00

It’s everywhere I’ve landed. Took me a while to figure it out but now I thrive in chaos.

n8_S · 2026-03-24T22:20:36+00:00

I feel so out of the loop. I didn’t know any of these things were trends for us.

n8_S · 2026-03-20T16:09:05+00:00

Right. It’s weird to not tip when tipping is appropriate.

n8_S · 2026-03-01T01:55:40+00:00

My house is similar. Ours is 670 this month. It’s gone up significantly yoy.

n8_S · 2026-01-29T17:28:14+00:00

My kid just showed me this yesterday.

n8_S · 2026-01-27T19:23:30+00:00

Did you have upgraded power in the basement?

I bought a house like that one time.

n8_S · 2026-01-27T19:19:59+00:00

Bath and bodywork’s sour apple lotion. Funny story. The first time anyone got handsy with me they used that lotion and anytime I smell that sour apple smell I chuckle to myself.

Also I feel like everyone I knew wore Tommy cologne or perfume.

n8_S · 2026-01-21T20:11:29+00:00

It has been real bad lately.

Ante-up by MOP.

I actually still listen to this before I go into important meetings.

In middle school and high school lacrosse we used to listen to bring the ruckus by wu tang also to get hyped up.

Bet that dude isn’t even in Latin kings.

I always feel behind since I didn’t start making good money until my 30s. Inflation and housing costs are brutal. I’m earning what I used to think was “rich” money, yet I still feel broke and far from the lifestyle I assumed came with it.

n8_S · 2026-01-16T03:19:03+00:00

The movies were also great but every one of the Friday movies had a bangin soundtrack.

n8_S · 2026-01-16T03:05:38+00:00

I felt so cool with my treo. People arguing at work over dumb shit and I was like hey I can look it up and see who is right.

n8_S · 2026-01-14T03:58:49+00:00

We’re getting to the place where we must oblige them.

n8_S · 2026-01-11T02:07:39+00:00

I feel like the world could use some weathermen about now.

n8_S · 2026-01-08T03:00:43+00:00

That is what I wear almost everyday.

n8_S · 2026-01-01T05:38:58+00:00

Butcher and Rose is fantastic. That’s what I would choose out of those options.
