what is the deal with soap shoes forums being full of flaming? why is everyone so big headed about how much work they put into helping soap?

ok think about this for a second. are you trying to help soap for yourself? or for soap? the answer is obviously, for soap, right?

so really, who cares who has the best site, the best myspace, the most photos, etc. if any of you have ever hung out and talked to the original relate crew or chris morris you understand what i'm talking about. soaps are about fun, they are about doing something out of the norm, they are about being chill... ultimately, just having fun. not, "yo! i do more than you to make soap better!" it was more about "hey wanna drive around today, look at girls? maybe session a rail or 2?"

i'm rambling. but seriously. we all love grinding, we all love playing with soap shoes. and just because some people don't post here 10x a day or take photos weekly, that doesn't mean we're not out soaping/spreading the word.

me for example, i still wear soaps nearly every day. if i walk past a ledge, i slide it. why? because it's fun. not because i want to get popular off of the years of work i put into soap sites, demos, promotion, etc.

this is not a jab at anyone. i'm just saying, enjoy your freaking shoes. have some fun.

someone posted a fairly cheesy article about soaps being a brotherhood. no offense to whoever wrote it, but even though it is slightly cheesy, it's true... being involved in soap is a sort of brotherhood. i've made tons of friends off it, i know most of you have too.

so yeah, i'm rambling still - trying to avoid a meeting ;) ...stupid full time jobs.

after this big ol forum post, i'm half tempted to go slide some rails instead.
