Here’s a conclusion I came to recently. Your best friends are the ones you send memes back and forth with. Fuck, that would make a great Hallmark card.
Anyways, think about it. There’s no quicker way to develop jokes, learn someone’s humor and become close friends. Here lies the origins of Left On Read, an interview series where we creep through one of our friends’ phones together.
I’m talking notes, camera roll, search histories, movie recommendations, memes, and more.
For our first, we’ve unlocked Salomon Cardenes phone. You know Sully from the early days of WKND, the final days of Alltimers, all the good times with HUF, and his latest banger, “Frontside Flip: The Movie.”
He was down to clown, and his phone password is 696969. Just kidding, we didn’t get that intel, but we got everything else!
Let me go to my Spotify real quick. Honestly, the new SahBabii album, I’m obsessed. It’s so fucking good. And I’ve been listening to the new Young Nudy album Sli’merre 2. Also, this Curtis Mayfield album called Back to the World has been hitting.
Sagazan. He’s like a performance artist, like one of the most famous. He just did some super dark disturbing videos back in the day and I wanted to show my friends. They are really sick and scary.
2007 gold Honda Fit. Because that’s the car I just got. I got it through the death of a friend of my dads. He left my dad the car, and my dad was like “Do you want this?”
Moby with hair. Moby, the artist, but with hair. He’s done a bunch of really sick, old techno music. A lot of cool scores for movies too. He’s awesome. My girlfriend was given a sticker from some guy at work and I was like “Oh, that looks like Moby with hair.” I had to look it up to check.
Okay, okay. [Editor’s Note: Here’s three more memes Sully sent me. HERE, HERE, and HERE.]
Woah, I’m not sure if I’ll have anything. Post everything man [laughs]. This is just a random one that I never posted.
This is a bail clip of Jeff Cecere. He just dies trying to boardslide up this rail.
I have a list labeled Borads, which is just boards spelt wrong. It’s random ideas for board graphics. One says dog on his back and then in quotes “wasted” meme. Another says fingerling potatoes in all caps.
juskatin. He’s this dude from West Palm. A real skate legend. He’s free as a bird.
If you’re using Apple maps instead of Google maps I’m mad confused. Anyways, GPS Log. If you’re a skater and you care about spots. You take a photo and it marks it and labels it perfectly GPS style. It’s dope.
I was George Washington with blue skin. I’ve been blue a bunch of times for Halloween, like five or six times. It’s always a little random, but I do it every year.
Here’s a sick one of my cat Ginger. She does this weird thing where her tongue gets stuck half out of her mouth and she’ll be stuck like that.
Probably Lofi, that old Brad Cromer VX video.
Norm Macdonald rabbit holes. Endless Norm content. Everything about him, I love him so much.
I just finished watching this show called The Madness. It’s a murder mystery, almost fantastical, but they keep it real.
I feel like every movie I’ve watched recently I finish it and am like “Fuck, that sucked.” I watched Along Came Polly last night. It still hits.
I’m reading Kafka on the Shore by Murakami right now, and it’s awesome. I’m about halfway through, and it’s so easy to read. I have an old ass Kindle and I just buy books all the time. I used to think it was whack, but I don’t need like a million books sitting around my house.
Turning down PA gigs when I actually don’t have anything going on and I should totally just do the gig. And I’ll be like “Yo, I’m all booked up, sorry dude.” when I’m just going skating. And then I’ll be like, “Why TF did I do that?”
Uhhh, “I’m not Pro.” or “AM for Life.” or “It is Awesome.” or “Broke as Fuck.”
