You might have watched the news and noticed that Sha’Carri Richardson is making history again. According to APNEWS she finished the 100 meter race with a time of 10.71 seconds. She definitely won, and this win makes her the fastest woman in the world. I’m so glad to see her doing well. She was criticized so heavily for nothing and she continues to rise and shine.
Sha’Carri is a leader for Black people everywhere. She is a great example of doing great things and doing them lawfully. She is the kind of example that I recognize and praise. There is no way that it is easy to do what she is doing. You don’t just happen to be the fastest woman in the world. This requires an immense amount of discipline. Winning at this caliber requires a commitment to training as hard as your body will allow you on a regular basis. Taking days off is not an option.
The Science of a Winner
It’s obvious that Sha’Carri understands something about running that most human beings do not. Time and time again, she steps on that track, beats her opponents and she beats them by a lot. What does this mean?? It means that being good is not good enough. Being great at your craft is not good enough. It’s absolutely encouraged to be serious about your craft and to involve yourself in deep thought about what you’re doing. One of the worst pieces of advice that I’ve heard skaters give people who are trying to learn a new trick is to not think about it. This is so untrue. You need to think about what you’re doing. When you think about what you are doing you have a better chance at understanding what you are doing.
I’ve been to a few ramen restaurants in the city and it seems like there is no good ramen in Chicago. The restaurant that I went to yesterday disappointed me so badly. The store looked so neat and full of these electronic devices for requesting orders. But, I ordered a simple ramen with chicken and I did not expect what I was going to get. The noodles looked like they came out of a pack from the shelves of Walmart. They didn’t even make the noodles. Then, the chef used breaded chicken . Chunks of wet, breaded chicken were sitting in my soup. They were like some cheap popcorn chicken pieces that looked like blended meat. Who knows what animal it came from.
I should have taken it as a sign when I noticed that there was only two other people in the restaurant. This is also misleading because there were about 6 people in the kitchen. I fully expected the best soup that I was ever going to get in the world. Speaking of the best soup ever, there is a place in Los Angeles that I went to all the time. Most days of the week there was a line out the door which stretched down the sidewalk in Little Tokyo. Located on 1st Street, across from the Miyako Hotel, sits Marugame Monzo. Good grace, I miss this restaurant so much. Their food is one of the reasons that I will move back to Los Angeles.
Comics are great to me in the movies. I am a big fan of superheroes. The books and magazines were never my thing. The only books that I read for entertainment were Wayside Story, Goosebumps and Harry Potter. Those were my book drugs. But, superheroes in the movies have always been fun for me.
Comic Books
When I first set foot on the JBSKATING scene it was much like the day that I set foot in the martial arts scene. This was a secret organization of superheroes. It’s an underground dungeon where the heroes take off their masks and show their superpowers. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. These people are professional athletes on the weekends. Then they put back on their work clothes and blend in with the public. It amazed me, still does. This is my comic book story of JBSKATERS. This is the whole thing.
Ask me to name one DC Comic character and I’d be silent forever. Maybe I’d name one of em but I have no idea where the characters belong. Although I’m the worse fan ever, I do love to watch movies by DC Comics.
We had gray skies as I rolled out of the city on Thursday. The city is always so gray. That’s the downside of living in Chicago, especially after spending 10 years in Los Angeles. Man, I was so spoiled and I miss it. As much as I miss Los Angeles though, Chicago has its hooks in me because of the JBSKATE scene here.
Rain
We’re getting rain all the way into May, how ridiculous is that. It probably isn’t even gonna stop. The day that I wanted to buy a new lawnmower set and cut the grass the entire city was wet. No worries, another day then.
Sullen skies over the brick city
Weather Channel
I never watch the weather channel. I never watch the television for news, I don’t even own a television. Whatever happens is destined to happen. Chicago weather is unpredictable even with the weather radar active. They could announce on the news that the temperature is gonna drop but you don’t expect your car doors to freeze. Then, the next day you have a sloshy city of melting snow.
Weather Today
The weather today was kinda nice, I must admit. The sun was shining, people were out in the city, all in the streets, being annoying. Every ass wipe with a bicycle was on every major road in Chicago, hogging up the lanes like they can’t be obliterated by one of these idiots running red lights and stop signs. I mean but other than that it was a gorgeous day.
Every now and then someone asks me how to do a certain move or trick on skates. Every now and then, you have to as a person how do you do that. My number one answer is time. It takes time to get the moves that you want. You have to repeat them a thousand times in order to learn and master every aspect of the technique that you are attempting.
I woke up this morning to all of my stats missing. There’s always something. What’s really going on?? Can’t have too many perfect days at a time then. Complications are all part of the process, any process, every process. There’s no moving forward in growth without them.
Get ready for a summer track by Skotty. When can we get an update on the music?? We’re ready for the drop. Skotty definitely has some talent when it comes to producing JBSKATE remixes. It turns out he’s got a mix tape coming up. The link shall drop soon.
It’s time to go, but the trip was fun. I was moving on those street scooters tho, see you soon.

I found this fountain art with some Greek statues in it. I think they’re supposed to be Greek, shows my knowledge of art history. There is also no water in the fountain, which I found to be a bit of a disappointment. But, the art was nice to stumble upon tho.
