I had to say goodbye to some people I really care about today, not in the death way, just in teh parting ways way, and it sucked. After work, I went home and skated for the first time in maybe two weeks or so. I definitely know how I hurt my neck. **-**s on curbs that arent sliding yet. I tried it once tonight and it hurt like blazes.
RMJ and special guest JA met up with me at linsen park, which is mostly flatground but has a few tall but short stone benches. We skated those until the heat was unbearable and I downed 2.5l of water in half an hour. Since we were in the area and JA had never been there, we crossed teh street to regent plaza. It's got a waist high drop and some ledges, including miraculously black and invicible ones that no matter hard they get skated, they never so much as dent, much less chip. This must be the hardest stone in the world. Someone made a giant monopoly board out of hte middle of the plaza, and twice I could have sworn that I heard someone shouting at me from nearby. Maybe I hallucinated it, maybe not, but security came out with flashlights to tell us please not to skate on the monopoly board. It's probably the best interaction I've ever had with security. We complied and stuck to skating the ledges. It suddenly dropped about ten degrees to 27 C and I smelled rain on the way. We went north to the teeny marble atm hubba, where rmj ****ed it, among other stunts. I was pleased to get my longest ** ******** there, and on my first day back from injury. There are some stone steps there, and attempting to grind them is how I know how I fucked up my neck .... We went around the corner to the temple spot, more curbs and a stone box, and cruised back with beers and chats til we got to my house.
We sampled several stoops around the area nad absorbed the soulful nutrition that Taipei has to offer after midnight. There were a lot of cockroaches out tonight.
