let's roll

Went out and bought rollerblades, I’ve really really wanted them, ever since I lost my old ones years ago. Man the skating technology has gotten so spiffy and the skates have gotten so much cheaper, I got K2 EXO 6.0 skates, the 80mm wheels are key, bigger wheels means faster me. Saw a pair of skates with 90mm wheels but they looked a little funny, almost too big, like where’s it gonna go, 100, 120, 500mm wheels? Rolling along on wheels the size of dinner plates, you’d be 7 feet tall, hafta duck under trees and street signs. Which might be kinda cool. I went out on a little skate up the street to Pyrric’s house and got reminded how skating works weird muscles, in the sides of the legs and butt and calves. Had to go to a couple different stores to find wristguards in the right size, and at CitySports on CommAve I bought a new backpack, for carrying me stuff when I’m out skating or hiking or whatever, getting my sport on. This backpack is so damn cool, it’s pewter and black and it has all these straps and buckles I don’t even know what they’re for. I’m serious, longitudinally down the center is this really long strap and buckle you can pull out with a tab, I don’t know what the hell you’re supposed to do with it, it’s so goofy and I love it. So that’ll be me, out skating and I don’t really know what I’m doing but I look cool with my straps fluttering and flapping in the breeze. Cuz nothing sez cool better than superfluous straps, right? Right.
