Hey guys, so it's fiiiiinally Friday and yet i can't totally relax. Got my geography exam done even though i ended up not studyin at all yesterday. But i'll survive, i'm not too worried about it. So why can't i relax? Well it turns out that next week is the last one this term and cause all the teachers can't be fucked making and grading our exams until the very last week (and they complain about us not studying for long enough... ha!). And now we have 6 exams in one week as well as various other bits and pieces of work to do. But at least i got some relief today, went skating! And i've been in an awesome mood all day. 'SALL GOOD IN THE 'HOOD! :)
So yeah, weird thing happened today. I went out with another of my best friends, Daniela, down to a small shopping centre on the port in Barcelona called Maremagnum cause she needed to get a dress for this fancy party she's going to. So we went over there and the plan was to go to the park after so I could practice my ollie. But someone else phoned her and we decided to do it another day, seeing as she has even more things to do than me and i didn't want to stress her. And i still felt like skating, but wasn't sure about going to the park and doing weird stuff on the grass just by myself... as well as being weird i ran the risk of crashing my skull into the floor and not having anyone to rescue me or call an ambulance. So i just went down to my usual place in front of the beach - i love the sea, it calms me, and also there's a place where a few skaters go so i chill with a couple of them, the ones i know. So yeah, as i was saying, i went down there and practiced a few simple tricks, like turning from side to side the skateboard by pressing down on the back so that the nose is lifted and free to turn (pivoting), or just riding on the back two wheels of the board with the nose lifted up. Haven't mastered the latter yet... In fact, i can barely do it for more than a few seconds, but it's a start! Both of these tricks are really similar as they involve putting all the pressure on the tail of the board and balancing your body to control the movement (either forward or sideways).
Anyway, all this is beside my point. So I was practising the tricks until about 6.30, when i got tired and decided to head back home. On my way i started chasing some bikes cause the girl who was on one of them looked like a bitch and i thought yeah why not... So i was being reckless and stupid and almost crashed into this other skater guy who just turned a corner. He started to say something but i didn't quite catch it. At the traffic lights i turned around and noticed the guy was with some other skaters and they had a little ramp thing set up and were recording some tricks. Looked pretty pro, so i decided to stay for a while and look. Later the guy came to talk to me and we chatted for a while, and when they left i went home. But all the time i had this feeling i'd seen this guy before, and i was pretty sure i knew from when too: in april or so of this same year, Daniela and i, bored or something, decided to skate to my current spot at the beach. She got her camera and we both took it in turns to use my skates (this was pre-slateboard times). When Daniela was off skating, I was left with her camera and these skaters who'd been doing some tricks near me appeared in front of the lense just as i was about to take a picture of Daniela and posed. I remember that picture well because it was so natural and it had such an authentic look to it. So yeah, i got home and checked the photo album on facebook and there he was... Or I think that's him, one of the two "posers". So now i'm just chilling here and can't wait to find out if it's the same guy! Would be pretty cool if it is :)
Anyway, so yeah, skateboarding, work to do and now i'm feeling tired :/ and Pry keeps insisting i go out with her. And i just can't say no to my baby <3 But we'll see, i'll try to get some of the shit i have to do done and then make the decision.
I'll leave you with another of my favourite tracks. So peaceful, calm, solemn... <3
Love xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
