Today, as I sat around waiting for my art projects to be done for me, which never seems to happen for some reason, I decided to go blow off some of the stink I had acquired from sitting around my apartment for the past week. So, I grabbed my deck and headed to a parking lot to do some skating.
Now I'm not your typical 22 year-old skater, I mean I haven't been doing it since I was 10 and am super awesome. No, I am the 22 year old who started skating at 13 did it for a few years and then stopped, only to take it up again this year as a mode of cheap transportation. So I am shitty, skating = not like riding a bike. I can't do anything cool anymore, I can ride in straight lines on level ground, so I am just getting back into it and criticism doesn't help. This is where things take a turn for the worse in my books...3:30 rolls around.
3:30 is approximately when kids get out of school, kids like to make fun of people, I knew as soon as I saw that first little group of bastards this was gonna get hectic. A small group of kids, maybe 13-15 years old, were taking a short cut through the parking lot that I was using for my own recreational reasons, well they stop.
"Hey! Let's see you ollie!" yells out this kid who I'm guessing gets beat by his parents. (Why beaten? Who knows, a future child beater has to pick his fights you know.)
"Sorry bud, just getting the hang of it again" I quickly reply and go back to my balance training.
"Let me try your board out." says another of the little Hitler jugen
"Nah, why don't you kids go play somewhere else, I'm just fuckin around here"
"Kids? Fuck you dude! We should kick your ass!" one of the little pukes decided that today was a good day to die.
I stopped my rolling around, looked at the group and decided that if today was the day that little kids handed me my ass, well it was a good enough day, cause my art, I'm guessing was still not getting done at home. One of the kids walked up and got into my face, well...my chest cause he was a short kid, I'm guessing with the short-man syndrome.
He looked up at me with one of those, my shit stinks and I am gonna feed it to you looks in his beady little eyes "How about me and you go? None of them will step in, so lets do it"
Now, I'm usually not the kind of guy to get into fights, start or finish, I'm pretty easy goin' so I just smiled "None of them will jump in? Do you really want to eat asphalt?"
With that, the kid backed up and put his school bag down. He then got into a weird Bruce Lee style fighting stance, I'm thinking this kid has seen The Matrix far too many times, cause he did that little hand gesture, you know, the "I'm ready" thing. I just stood there, quizzically eyeing the kid up. Without warning, maybe cause I waited too long, the kid just rushed me, arm flailing, screaming, and just about two feet away from me, his baggy jeans fell, his belt got caught on his knees and he dove headlong into my feet and bashed his face of the tail of my board. I didn't know what to do, the kids blood started to pool at my feet and I was in a state of "should I pick him up?" or "should I start to kick him". I looked to his friends and they were as dumbfounded as myself, so I just kicked up my board, grabbed it and started to walk away.
About 10 feet away I hear the kid start to mumble something about his teeth, and his friends say something about calling the cops, who knows, I just avoided getting "served" by these little punks.
(this post, a little random, as I do have art assignments that need to be done, and I really don't want to draw for the rest of the night, but figured some "half" fiction might get some creativity into my blood.)

Little men with bad attitudes. Can't stand 'em. There's one here at my work, the "art director." When he pisses me off I threaten to step on him.
And I love that you called those kids, well "kids." Nothing pisses off a teenager more than being called a kid.

I always figured skaters were jocks in disguise.
And you wanna know what the jocks were?
Fags.
Get it?

Skating is such a cheap way to get around now (well, if you consider $150 for a board cheap), but you kinda have to learn to at least ollie. Just makes it easier to get on and off the sidewalk.
The only reason I'm on the sidewalk is cause it pisses the old people off and I get to ride close to little kids and act like I'm about to fall and hit them.
