Chicago Weather

May 4, 2024May 12, 2024

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.

Gray skies and brisk breezes

The winter weather is making a slow exit from the city as usual.

We are weeks into the month of May and old man winter still has a light grip on the city. I had to turn the heat on inside of my home at night and inside of my car on my way to work. This is rich for the summer, cold air in May.

Two New Gods

April 28, 2024May 17, 2024

Pharaoh is recruiting again, there are two new gods. There are now 3 new JBSKATERS on the JBGODS Skate Team. I have not announced two of them yet. Who may they be?? Stay connected to find out.

Too New Gods

The idea of recruiting very new skaters is one that I favor. I’ve shared this thought with my team. I’m not interested in having the best skaters on the team. Those guys are great, however being great alone does not get my attention. A team oriented mentality is the virtue that I seek. The JBGODS Skate Team will be filled with team players and not a bunch of individuals. I assumed that this would be an easy undertaking, but it isn’t. That’s why this task has drifted from a goal to a dream. Expectations lie on the path of disappointment, so they are greatly to be expected.

The Gods Got Trash

I heard someone say this about our team. It seems that people don’t believe that their criticisms will reach me. They do, they always do. I’ll never address those insults, but I’ll surely remember them. This insult is one that I am thankful for, as a result I’ll prove you wrong.

April 28, 2024May 17, 2024

Street fights and skating rink scandale

As a child, I thought that after a certain age that people did not get into heated fights. Atleast, not in public with strangers. I’m not sure why I thought this. There was no clearly defined logic in my mind accept that adults didn’t behave that way. But, to my dismay, we do.

Gotta Go, No Violence for me

The moment a skirmish breaks out, I’m gone. Even if it clears up and the function goes back to normal, no thanks. I don’t like to be in an environment where people can not control their emotions. Plus, things can escalate even in silence. First, there are words, in most cases. Then that moves to hands and feet. You know what comes after that, I’m not tryna be around for it either.
