Circular Mountain Station

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand we're … ok that joke got old for me really fast. So did my plan of skating and taking notes on each of Taipei's MRT stations, in physical order.

I tried to cruise up to circular mountain station, where a number of bars and drunk people are open to the night air, and slammed a few times on the way. This is because my brain has forgotten how to process cracks. It used to be second nature, but now I have to think about each and every one, and also I haven't cruised the city in so long that many cracks are new or more severe than before. By the time I got to the bar area, I had paid my dues.

I paid respect to CfromPEI and he ***** a few times even though he was working, so it counted as part of the session. wpn and IS and pj sat outside with me while we sipped the etoh and discussed the finer points of life. rmj arrived and IS and me and him skated around the corner into a wonderland plaza that I had never seen before. It must be usually closed off to the public or something. It's a medium to large plaza with scrabbly pebbledash surfaces, and low-thigh high manny pads. For us, the keystone was a two stair up, to wooden planks, to grass gap (or one stair up to higher manny pad and then back down) to another gap and then downstairs. The boys skated it heroicly, but nothing was really perfect, although rmj got a ********* on the step and IS ****** up, to ***** to *** to semislamming into a table. For those with the very very quick feet, the tables are also skateable.

A hobo tried to steal my skatebag, but I grabbed it out of his grimey hands. I should have left it to him, because all that was inside was an empty water bottle, a rusty skatetool, and some wax. Eat that wax you hungry mother fucker.

It rained and I'm out of shape so RMJ and I beer rolled back down to my hood, admiring the spots as we went. Also, a lady yelled at him for putting a receipt in the charity box at seven. actually a lot of weird people were out tonight. It felt good to be one of them. I came home and the PBH was passed out outside. Drink some water bro.
