There's a thing line between entertainment and war

There wasn't time for skating but I did it anyway. Sleep has been a precious commodity lately, but I went out anyway. It was the first session for the biteme's. This is probably the most hated shoe company in the world, and I always hated them, from the very beggining. However, I had been told that they are actually the best skate shoes ever, and I bought a pair because Marshall's had them for $900 last summer. They are ferociously uncomfortable. Maybe the least comfortable shoes I've ever skated in, including nightmarket shoes with paper for soles. They're also stiff, which means they have no feeling, like using hospital gloves for a condom. Worst of all, they have a huge logo on the side, so I have to only skate spots where there's no chance of anyone seeing me in them.

To distract from there regretful shoes, I wore tie die and camo to work today. I'm pretty sure I'll never work for someone else again, after this contract is up. Whoever said "it's better to be taken advantage of by capitalists than to not be" clearly never met Taiwanese business owners. 

I warmed up at the three stair, adn my legs didn't work very well. Then I went on a cruise. It was at least 14 degrees cooler than this time last year, adn I tried to make the most of it. I rode around the little allies, and the combination of terrible new shoes with a pretty bad new deck meant that my shins suffered for it. 

Near Linsen Bay is a small hill. It's an artificial one, built up over teh open sewer river (ok, it's not quite an open sewer, but underground city rivers are nasty as fuck). From there, you clackalack down teh square tiles, and there is complex, sublte spot. As the road falls away, the sidewalk stays high, out to **** stair height. At any moment, you can go from the smooth upper, a stone sidewalk, down to the bottom rough clackity tiles. There are two stair sets on the sidewalk, and mostly, I either bomb it that way, or if I'm too tired or drunk, cruise down the tiles. 

This time, I noticed a new and excellent micro spot. Where the stairs are still ***** tall, as you cruise down the rough tiles, a little bank had been cemented up flush with the bottom stair. It's a pink marble stair, so I stopped and applied parrafin. It's just teh sort of slope that you don't really gain or lose speed on the way. I tried a line, adn landed my first *******s with these shoes. I never got the line I was trying for, but I'll be hitting that curb every ride home from now on. 

I got another ******** and suddenly, it was as easy as pressing a button on a skate video game. I missed a few though, and security kept coming out, even though I was cruising by. At one point, missed a ****** and looked back and three  seperate security guards were standing in teh sidewalk watching me. I kept going. My feet hurt. Maybe these shoes will loosen up. I've never thrown away skate shoes until they couldn't be sakted anymore, but these might go in the garbage. 

Total ********s in biteme's: 6
