On Skateboarding


I guess this would be a good place for some clarification on what this video's about. First, I should establish that my internship over the summer was just fine. It was on the software side, so a little different from where I might be in the labor market after I graduate, but I learned a lot from my experience (including stuff I probably should have already known). Everyone was so exceedingly friendly, even though we had disagreements on issues at every lunch. I would take an engaging discussion of important issues over stupid smalltalk any day, though. Absolutely.

But sometimes, when I wasn't getting much done, time would tick slowly. I began to worry about wasting the company's time and making a bad impression. The worry made the cycle become a dredging series of movements. And you know, I really do fear the 8-5 lifestyle and commute. Working on something you enjoy with people you like to be around might be the best release.

On a more concrete note, should I worry about the fact that you can discern where I live from this video? I considered starting and ending it before you could tell, but the impact of the beginning and end wouldn't be there. I considered spreading it around, but this concern is stopping me.

Though, not many people watched it, anyway.

  1. I like your video.

    And I think I'm starting to see why you don't get more comments. I would like to leave a comment on just about every post, but it would get repetitive fast.
    "I like this post."
    "I agree completely."
    "You're totally right."
    "I know how you feel."

    I'm reading, but I would feel like a dummy leaving a lame comment on every post.
