a little whinging for posterity

I normally don't subscribe to the watching of skate videos. The tsunami of mediocrity on social media is even worse. But tonight it's 3 am, and I'm grateful to every last one of those goofy bastards filming themselves or their crew skating flat ground or skateparks. That's because it's been raining for a fucking week here, and really truly raining hard as nails, not some halfassed drizzle. I walked around for a few hours the other night to try and find a place dry enough to skate, but everything in this city is soaked, even the dog piss curbs and the bridge and nangang. I didn't go to Yuanshan because in my heart, I have to believe it was still dry, and I didn't want to be disappointed. Also, I was tired of walking around the city in the driving rain. At least rmj came along and we talked and had some beers. Good thing I never complain. when I leave Taipei, maybe I'll read this and realize it wasnt always night after night of the best street skating on earth. sometimes, it was drinking beer and hanging out with friends all night in the rain and eating bbq in whoreville at 02:00. Who am I kidding, I'm never leaving this glorious place.
