Righteous.

Lonny always said he wanted to die
eating foam in a massive wipeout...

:02:20
but I bet he’s up in heaven
right now.

:02:22
After Lonny drowned,
I did some heavy meditating.

:02:25
I thought, maybe there’s more to life
than extreme sports...

:02:30
and trying to get laid.
:02:32
Maybe there’s
a bigger purpose for me...

:02:34
and I’ve just been too high
to figure it out.

:02:37
I was sitting on the beach,
totally cogitating.

:02:41
I looked down, and there, in the sand,
was a copy of your book.

:02:48
It was like a sign, like your book
was calling out to me.

:02:51
Read me.
:02:54
For the next few days,
I read it from cover to cover.

:02:58
Your book totally captured
what it’s like to be a teenager--

:03:01
the excitement, the confusion,
the horniness.

:03:05
Sometimes I laughed so hard,
I thought I was going to puke and die.

:03:10
Other times, I cried.
:03:15
Are you okay?
:03:17
It’s just so sad.
:03:21
I read your book
52 times that month...

:03:24
and I finally realized
what I wanted to do with my life.

:03:29
I want to be a writer.
:03:31
I’ve been writing ever since.
It’s all I ever do.

:03:35
All day and all night sometimes.
:03:38
It was hard to get going,
but, once I did, I couldn’t stop.

:03:42
I’m like a machine,
and nothing else matters.

:03:45
I’m selling my board.
I don’t have time.

:03:50
- I need to focus on my writing.
- What?

:03:53
My friends think
I’ve lost my mind.

:03:56
He’s lost his mind.
:03:58
Let’s get lit and go jump off
the roof of my house.
