Sorry Tony, Just have to ask, what is that jacket? Looks like the leather White's boots are made of (8-ounce?) :)
Natal! This style is pretty hard to come by, I’ve seen others and not much cared for them, but I do like this basic model. It’s insanely heavy, easily the thickest and heaviest jacket I’ve owned. What saves it from being a burden to wear is that it’s incredibly soft. Honestly feels like a heavy weighted leather blanket.

This picture made my day. Light everything: The jacket, the sneakers, the board. And that BROAD smile of yours in these dire times!

Glad to hear it :). It’s pretty weird but I’m actually not that worried about the current situation. I tend to worry a lot normally, but now that everyone else is also doing it, I just don’t. Ha, it sounds like a hipster thing! But really, it just calms me to know that everyone else also understands that we’re in for a disaster.

I’m not very good at skateboarding so it takes every ounce of concentration not to fall on my ****. Hard to worry about a virus when you’re trying really hard not to break your bones.

Ditto. This situation doesn't really worry me as much as I thought it would, if at all. I got used to doing stuff the way it's done now while still having all the privileges I had at home. Except someone to talk to and I do occasionally feel like going Travis Bickle but so far, keeping it in check. XD But anyway, getting things done takes a bit longer but I'm in no hurry and it feels kinda relaxing knowing I can't really do anything about nothing.

Going for a walk is also very fun with nobody around but I do miss bars. That's one thing I really miss. Made it a tradition recently to go for a late night drink in a local pub and now they've shut everything down. Well, maybe it's for the best.

Artsy shot I took. The natural vegtan on this baby is starting to look sweeeeeeet! Tenjin Works I bought off of Kuja.


I don't know if anyone here's on Instagram, but here's mine that I started recently and I'd love to see yours too, the world needs more ***y high end leather jacket pictures.

Hopefully this isn't against the rules and this is the last time I'll post it here.

It's a new experiment in living. All these measures are clearly necessary and we should abide by them. And yet, there must be think-tanks that are going to amass data on this: the behavioural/compliance aspects, the rates of domestic crime, media consumption (type/frequency/intensity), emerging online trends, types of delinquency, rationalisation and restitution. We'll get through this together - at the appropriate social distance, naturally, and with new expressions of our class, national and ethnic differences- singing on the balconies until someone coughs.

Sing in your best damn jacket, though. :)

Great point. Also interesting to note the earth is healing itself as the human being virus takes a break from destroying it.

We're just an insignificant layer of dust. I don't think we're doing anything to the earth that the earth can't handle. We are what we do and what we do is what we are made to do. It's not all that bad what we're doing but regardless, we're just dust. No big deal. Earth has reset things many, many times already. Ain't nothing bad gonna happen to it.
