Skateboarding & Chocolate

The chocolate over here sure is good, and I think it is the reason I don't look malnourished like all the other foreign adventurers who find themselves away from their mothers cooking. I've been all over this town and I think i found the best deal on Cadbury Dairy Milk and Snickers bars. Want to know a secrete? I wasn't sure how to spell Cadbury so i went and checked the label. Then I figured I might as well eat the bar! True story. So I've been 171-185 lbs for the past 6 years or more, but thanks to Cadbury's delicious blend and assortment of delectable I am now approaching 215lbs! Perhaps this sedentary job isn't helping me any either. I went from walking 2 hours to get anywhere to blogging and talking to people on facebook that I don't even like. Somehow I think this will all make sense in the end. So I went out for a skateboard today and had a good time out of it. I went to a few spots I had seen in my walking around and gave things a go. Maybe tomorrow I'll take pictures and add them to make things more fun like. There are these flower pots, or tree pots, and they are brick, shaped like a cut off funnel, more open at the top than a regular funnel. There is a 2 inch glitch at the bottom of the funnel so you can't ride right up it, but if you lift your front wheels and lean back you can ride right up. So I did a rock-and-roll on it and then I road up and down along the side for a good time. After that I skated down the sidewalk, which was really smooth close to the shopping centre, and found these brick hips that are really fun to play around on. I was warned by my client that people get kicked out of this area, but it was late sunday night so not many people were around and I didn't over stay my welcome. These were just like little flat banks, really steep; not much too them, but I really like them and would like to be able to try some tricks, or just ride them. The mall is interesting because it is very open in some parts so you could just skate right through parts of it, but I didn't push my luck. At the bike rack there was a low flat bar, about 1.5 feet high, 8 feet long, and 6 inches wide, but it's in a high traffic area and I was alone, if that means anything. There's a nice parking lot right across from where I'm staying so I can always practice my tricks on the flat. I enjoyed my night out skateboarding. It's 10:30pm now and I'll probably read a bit of the good word, and watch a movie or two from the endless collection of japanamation and kung fu this client owns. Remember how I said it will all make sense in the end? Well, I tell lies, or stories, but I always confess one way or another and this is my confession; I'm not over 200 lbs, I'm my normal weight. Though I've been in the house a lot I have decided I might do some exercise while I'm here so I made use of the weight set and chin up bar the other care taker left in his room. It has been a good time, and I wish I could talk more about "My client" because he's a really great guy and he makes me think about how easy it could be for life to change forever. If you read this let me know, and feel free to tell me about your day to day adventures, I've got a bit of time on my hands now and then. fa-darn
