the only reason we have knees is for them to hurt

god bless teh bridge; my next session will not be at the bridge. this one was almost totally empty, even though it was friday night. maybe this is because it was down into the single digits, and was cold even for me. I thought zw would show up but he couldnt because riding a scooter for 45 minutes would be frozen suicide. the metal band showed up for a quick beer under the bridge before practice, and then two homies i didnt say a proper hello to came up to play some skate. we did, and it was fun. a new americanish guy came up in the meantime and we ended up skating till well after lights out, despite the bitter, bitter cold. he is learning *********s, which he didn't make but tried at something like full speed. on the other sider, a couple of taiwaneseish guys were trying ******** *****s on the rail, and one of them got his first one while i was drinking some water. mutual joy is a strange thing to participate in. my knee hurts. karma for too much bridge skating. time to take a day off. i have another unpaid work function tomorrow, but at least this one is catered. it's a black tie event, but i m thinking of making it a camo tie event, since i have a camo tie.
