truncated tour of taipei

the options this morning where 1) moving shit from the old house to the new house, while arguing 2) skate. I opted for the middle choice, which was wake up at 7 am, watch the lord's team narrowly defeat some midwestern shit team, get coffee and breakfast, try to wake up lzyk, play video games, try to wake up lzyk again to convince her to go with me to get breakfast, play more video games, announce loudly that I will be leavign shortly to go get breakfast (my lunch), and have her come downstairs to inform me that she is coming, but it will take her 40 - 60 min to get ready to go outside. She wasn't optimistic. It took more than 60 min. We had an excellent noodle lamb. Then I went to the bridge. I forgot my phone.

it was crowded. very crowded. children were noodling around on wiggle boards, getting in the way of everything, and i was fantasyzing about smashing into them with my leading elbow, and then beating their worthless parents with my skateboard. it remained a fantasy, but lots of homies showed up. The new japanese visitor did too, and he ended up making the day for me. I don't have to skill or patience to describe what he did today, but I will do my pathetic best.

After the session at the wiggle board park under the bridge, I suggested we dip out and we did. We went to the old hood, and got kicked out by the grey haired mafia. no worries, any street sessoin that starts out bad will get better. It took a while though.

we went to the flight path circles and it was littered in debris from the typhoon. almost totally unskateable. but lilnara was unflapped, and we went to the redline marble benches, but they were covered in people. this is why i dont skate in teh daytime.

we went ot regency and he ********{trick redacted} the biggest **********{trick redacted} i have ever seen, over a barrier. I should mention here, and i hope i can pull this off without being condescending, that he isn't the tallest skated I have ever seen. neither am I, but i am on the taller side. he isn't. he *********[trick redacted] over a barrier so tall that I can't even begin to consider jumping over it. and he did it under pressure, with security telling him that he could try once more. it was an honor to film.

then we skated towards main, and then towards the bullring, and had steaks. the bullring was full of skaters, as it should be, but we were disasterously tired and dove for home. I'm leaving out too much, but i have to work tomorrow, and since i didnt have my phone, i couldnt possibly remember all the details.

on the way home, i drank some more tbs and tried to find a new stoop. I have ot work in the morning. im going to stop typing.
