Mailtime: #SociallyUnacceptable

#MAILTIME: Socially Acceptable

A classic Mailtime theme today that I’ve been meaning to do for weeks now. A while back my man Sean AKA Charlie Kelly texted me asking me where society went wrong with roller blades. Why did we, as a people, turn our backs on roller blades? Roller blades were straight fire. They were fun. They were useful. And then all the sudden they became lame. They became gay. “Fruit boots,” they called them. The hardest part of roller blading was telling your parents you were gay. Roller blades were shunned. They were deemed socially unacceptable.

And its a fucking shame. Its a borderline tragedy. Because people could be ‘blading all over the place. Remember gliding over some fresh pavement on your blades? Those Roces or those K2s? It was amazing. But you gotta worry about your reputation if you’re ‘bladin in 2016. Theres too many of those things in the world today. I wanna rock a fanny pack. I wanna wear sweatpants everywhere I go. At the very least I dont want to wear a suit when its one thousand degrees. I wanna drink whatever I want to drink. The list goes on and on. From fashion to the workplace to relationships to social settings, theres a million things we do no because thats what we want to do, but what we feel we’re supposed to do. Fuck all that noise. This is the episode about everything you’d do if there was no such thing as “socially unacceptable.”
