Tony Hawk Response

I Believe with Tony Hawk when he says " I Believe that people should take pride in what they do, even if it is scorned or misunderstood by the public at large." I Believe in this too because at the end of the day, your doing what YOU want to do or what makes YOU happy. Who cares about what others think. I Always say, the only reason people are hating on you is because they wish they were you. basically, jealousy is taking over them.


The part of the excerpt where Tony Hawk talked about how his teachers use to embarrass him in front of his class because he never followed directions really was an example of how teachers are part of the reason why teenagers have low self esteem. Telling a student that they wont make it anywhere because they don't follow directions, or they don't listen are LIES. 


The reason why i said that is because my brother use to fight almost everyday in middle school and high school, and teachers use to always tell him he wasn't gonna be nothing, BUT sadly for them my brother graduated high school, got accepted into Penn State, graduated, and is now in another school for culinary arts. 


I personally think the people that bring you down are mad because they didn't get far in life. And the negative feedback only encourages you to work harder to be better than them.

New Fashion Wrinkle

The article "New Fashion Wrinkle: Stylish Hiding the Gun" is about a new type of clothing entering the fashion industry. They are pants that are designed to hide your gun.

These pants " Chinos " cost $65. But since it came out, the clothing company Woolrich came out with a whole clothing line called " Woolrich Elite Concealed Carry Line "that sells both shirts and pants.

I personally think the clothing line is unnessicary. I really think its a waist of money. And even if stores do decide to sell them, they should ask for the permit before paying for the clothes .

I dont like the idea because its dumb. People have been carrying guns around for years in a holster and hasnt had a problem with the way they carry it.

If i had a gun, i personally wouldnt waist $65 on a pair of pants just for the " gun pockets ". I'd rather take my money and but a new JC Bracelet.

In the article, the vice president of 5.11 Tactical said " what we've tried to do is create a collection of garments that allows the end of user to have stylish lifestyle appeal but have features in the garment that enable then to carry a weapon and draw the weapon quickly ".
- it was easier to carry it in a holster , just lift up your shirt and point . plain and simple .
