Skate videos – The Strongest Of The Strange

This video by Pontus Alv is just timeless.

Us humans sometimes tend to not pay attention to the past, thinking that the present is where it’s at, but do we ever stop for a second to think that the past days were also the present at one point? 

What if those were the better days? 
Then wouldn’t it be sick to look back, for more than a second, and get inspired from them?

There must have been something magical happening in the past that I can’t often see now, a different attitude to life?

What if the constant connection we’re on now is a cause of it, making us more superficial, taking things for granted so much that we’re losing any willingness in meeting someone on the streets during our day to day, and not enjoying the small things anymore.. What about the lack of attention and excitement in our lives when we watch or read something? Are we facing an attention disorder that we’re not even aware of?

We feel we don’t have enough time to hear a stranger story or watch an hour full length, but do we think why? 
After all, in the “past” there were still 24 hours in a day.
