Back on the board! For one day anyways...

Over the summer...it seemed that I had lost my passion for skateboarding, it was mostly due to me busting my nice deck by taking some stairs, and then my trucks and wheels being stolen. Then I had bought a new deck, and used some really old trucks and wheels, and that board wasn't nearly as nice as my other. So therefore I was kind of bummed, and I didn't skate much. Then over the summer I traveled so much that I never skated at all! So it's been about 3 months since I even stepped on my skateboard. But....my friend Kaleb called, and wanted me to come to the skate park, so I said ok. I had to go get my board from Caleb and Mandie's house though. But I was feeling pretty excited really! I hadn't skated in a while and I was excited to try and get back to it. Ha ha, it was funny cause when I showed up at their house to get my board, Mandie says "so, do you have any protective gear?" "no" " don't you think you need it?" "ha...no I'm fine" "well...I still have your big band-aids if you need em!" "ha ha, ok I might be back later" =P It was funny.

But yeah...so I get my board, then I drive over and pick up Kaleb from his house, and we headed up to the park. By the way...Kaleb has a sweet new skateboard called a free board, and it's just like snowboarding on pavement, it's awesome! But that's another story. =P So yeah we get up there, and I'm actually surprised at how well I do! It's like I haven't gotten any worse over the three months that I didn't skate. So I'm getting excited and having a lot of fun! We even got some cool pictures and video. And here I am taking this kicker ramp on to a platform, when *SNAP* I broke my board again.... "ARGH!" Ha ha! I couldn't belive it. I still can't believe I broke another one. =P So...now I'm stuck...cause I was really excited about skating again, and it has to go and break on me! Now what do I do? Do I save up my money (since I can't afford to buy one now) and pay a pretty penny for a new board? Or do I "grow up" like some people have mentioned *clearing throat* ;) and just forget the whole skateboarding thing?? I don't know. Cause I don't know if I want to pay over a hundred dollars AGAIN...but on the other hand, I really enjoy skateboarding! *sigh* Dilema...Maybe I'll just start a "Paul needs a new board fund" you can all send your free-will donation of just 5 dollars to a good cause! ha ha! No I'm kidding! I would never do that. =P Do you think I'm a beggar!? Maybe I'll just find a nice street corner to go play my guitar and sing, throw my case open and hope that people will throw in some change! Ha....no I don't know what to do yet. We'll see I guess.

Anyways that's all I've got for now. See ya!
