Do The Hustle

Ok, I didn't do it. I couldn't drop Cat cold turkey. Impossible. Because I would like her to remain part of my life. Unlike all the other girls I've been with, I consider Cat to be one of my closest friends. We've been doing nothing but causing each other pain for a month now, and it's been escalating. Neither of us can take it anymore. It was a vicious cycle sparked by rumors and changes. I felt that she was being less of a friend to me which made me act off. This in turn pushed her away more, making me act more off. Then the tables turned. I'm tired of fighting. I'm tired of being pissed off. We were such good friends, and I want to remain that way. Our relationship wasn't one based around sex, and it never was. It was about trust and enjoying each other's company. She's been very patient with all my crap. As I've been with her's. I dunno. I suppose it takes time to heal this kinda stuff and generate forgiveness, but when she has a week left in town, is that enough time? How do I know that I want Cat to be in my life? I went snowboarding the other day. It was a pow day. And it sucked. Because I would've rather been riding with Cat. I can ride with a number of people I know at the resorts at any time. But I want to ride with Cat. This tells me that she is irreplaceable to me. She is not just another girl to me. She is an important friend to me. Strange how it took snowboarding to bring me to clarity. Snowboarding saves lives.

Automaton Super Agent traffiker of rad snowboarding equipment, Joe, was doing the hustle today. Seeing opportunity, Joe jumped on it and moved the crap out of some boards and bindings. "Hustle" is the term my buddy Josh Hudson from Carbon uses to describe what it takes to get a start up company off the ground. You gotta be everywhere, and do everything you can, and go into survival mode. That's the hustle.
