🎥 🛹 // I played over a hundred hours of Tony

🎥 🛹 // I played over a hundred hours of Tony Hawk Pro Skater when I was a kid, so working with @tonyhawk was like playing #TonyHawkProSkater, but with real Tony Hawk. Woahhhh! Here are some stills of Tony taken from the @uber @olympics spots I directed. And yes, I told him to do that flip without telling anybody. Thankfully he made it 😬. And thanks to the creative squad at @anomaly for letting me play video games with real humans in real life.

🥵 // Life 2.0 is hard work. Now that we are starting live real life again, it reminds us of all the things that were hard about real life. Failure, rejection, social anxiety… yikes. I know for myself, returning to life is a journey that’s going to take me a very long time. But ya know what? I got no choice. So hold up your hand… It’s time for high fives and positive affirmations. our @uber @olympics spot is all about it. Check it out. Link in bio or check out my IG 📺.

🎂 💔 // It’s my birthday. I don’t like people singing to me. I don’t like wearing birthday apparel. And I don’t like birthday cakes. Last year before my birthday, @jean_guo asked me what kind of cake I wanted for my bday. I told her that I don’t like bday cakes. She asked me why. I shrugged and told her I don’t like blowing out candles, cutting them or eating them. I just don’t like interacting with cakes, I guess. So… cut to a couple hours later, she sent me a fully CG birthday cake that she made in #Blender with a birthday message that read “Here’s an anti-social cake for anti-social saman. 100% Covid safe. No interaction necessary. Happy birthday love.” We then played #StreetsofRage4 after that the rest of the night. She was so smart, thoughtful, spontaneous and so very caring. It’s hard when somebody cares about you that much and then is just gone with the snap of a finger. I still ache everyday and I always will. But I’m grateful I have this immortalized example of her youthful agility and how much she loved trolling me. I miss you Jean. RIP.
