"Dropping In" with Nicholas Stewart aka Nick The Medic

Image
Design by Rocky        I got a chance to sit down and ask some questions to a super duper rad skater. This was huge for me to overcome my awkward and quirky introvert behavior and take a break from writing some fictions and get back to blogging. Shout out to Rocky who made my newish logo, I might have some cool free stickers too if you ask. So look down further for an awkward Zeppelin and a cool as shit Nicholas Stewart aka Nick The Medic Me : To preface this, I am in now way a journalist. Nick : Oh we know Me: *laughs awkwardly* Me : Starting off, let's introduce yourself: imagine yourself at a podium in front of the whole world, what would you say about you and who you are? Nick : Hi my name is Nicholas Stewart, some people know me as Nick The Medic on Instagram and in the rollerskate community.  Me : Alright thats it, thanks for coming. Just kidding check this rad shit out. Photo taken by  @soulcaptor   Me : lets jump into it, I can only assume, ...

It's okay if you don’t skate…

     Well, well, well, here we are again. Apologies while I’ve been checked out and disassociated for a while there. This is just a piece to update you on the road so far. Took an awkward fall at women’s hockey league about 2-3 months ago, who’s really keeping tabs. I know, I know…” you should really be more careful” and all that shit. I SWEAR it wasn’t my own doing, just a freak fall/collision where I tweaked my neck and “good” shoulder.   I tried to push through it and doing full contact felt worse and the pain started to radiate down my shoulder. No good. Also, what does not help is that I have transitioned to a different adult job (because derby and hockey aren’t cheap), so I must wait for a scan to see if the nerve is fucked. Yes, those are medical terms. In the meantime, I have been reading (too much in my opinion), and I think I might be recommending a NSFW book every time I blog. If you are recovering from injury or plain old burnout, its okay to take a break...
