I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends

Last day of holiday before descending back into the mines of the English language, boring out meaning from sheer rock and soil.

Lzyk and I met up for supper. I picked pasta because she likes that. She gave me a bag of shit I had apparently left behind on a sinking ship, the second of such kind of bag. She was almost 30 min late, because that is her habit. We had what would have been a bad first date, but we also didn't really show hostility towards one another, so it's an improvement over every date we had for maybe two years.

I carried the flotsam and jetsam of my marriage across Taipei and got a message from IS that he was heading for a session. fuck yes, when life bucks up, you gotta go skate. So we met at ximen marble plaza, with a couple of homies already there. I don't have a fake name for this dude, but I might go with LSM, because his *** *****s were fucking monsters tonight. Among a wide variety of pink marble terrain at the spot is a medium height ledge, with impossibly rough and rugged cobblestone for about 10 feet on the landing, then a smaller ledge that jukes out from it, into the street. I've seen footage of professionals **** ****** to ***** on the juke out bit, or other stuff. LSM was going *** ***** for ten feet, to pop up onto the juke and into the street. I saw what turned out to have been his first one ever, and he got another quickly. We were cheering and spanking out skateboards on the ground, as we tend to do in such times. He tried it for hours, to get a better one for video.

IS got in on the game, and ** **d it to pop up onto the juke and into the street. Then he got it *** off the juke. I got a lame ** ****, but I was secretly pleased because I didn't think I could pop my old ass up onto the ledge.

Later, I filmed IS ** **ing to *** out and *** ***** ** out on the down ledges that grind like literally smashed your trucks into actual butter. I assboarded down backwards and it turned out to be a pretty good angle. We beered up and then my dreams came through. SpongeBob SquarePants was a good skateboard that lasted for many months beyond its intended lifespan, mostly owing to not skating enough because of protodivorce and all the misery that comes with it. Eventually, the nose split and delammed across three layers, which was pretty funny, like a cookie monster skateboard. Then I stuck a coin in the middle of the nose, and it sounded like a motorcycle rolling around. Then I *****d a lot, landing hard on the nose, and it snapped. It is the first deck I've broken that wasn't broken in the middle. Bittersweet. It was a weird night. I sent Lzyk a beatles song. I don't hate her. I don't even feel angry anymore. Maybe that doesn't bode well for rekindling the relationship.

I got home and listened to this while I dismantled spongbob and set up the new deck.
