Do the footwork, then roll on

Got back from the rink early, saw a brotha there that I
see around the way, Muslim brotha. He asked me how long
I'd been skating, when I told him "about 30years", he had
the look that said; "that's why you skate like that", duh!
Why do people believe they can throw on a pair and roll
without a care, first comes the falling, you need to learn
how to do that. Never lean back, unless you want to fall
on your ass, believe me; hitting your tail bone will fuck
your vision up, among other things.
I do a lot of footwork while I roll and I'm listening to
my own music, the shit they play wouldn't put me to sleep,
it would just aggravate the hell out of me. Skating isn't
difficult, once you understand the basics. Hold your arms
out for balance, bend slightly at the waist and knees, if
you're going to fall; fall forward. Don't stay down,
someone may roll over or fall on you. Don't go fast until
you can safely and confidently go forward, learn to pick
your foot up while you roll, you'll need to be able to do
a crossover; it helps you to turn. Learn how to do
everything from both sides of your body. Pay close
attention to the people that can skate, we learn by
example. Once you understand the mechanics, you can add
your own touch and flair to develope your own unique
style. Most people skate exactly the way they saw someone
else skate, I tend to stay away from mimicking, everyone
stumbles upon a move that will become their own, you'll
know this when you see others trying to do what you do.
I couldn't get into the groove today, can't blame that on
the brotha man and his family staring at me every minute,
my mind was elsewhere. I probably wanted to call Shun all
day, wasn't sure what her schedule is on Sunday. I came
into the apartment and Joshua was online, watching the
Dave Chappelle Show, LHAO! He began to tell me about a
dream he had, while in Harrisburg and how it continued
into the next night's sleep, he also (offhandedly) told me
he'd had wet dreams. Seems this girl enters and the rest
is his/story. I interjected with the fact that you must
awaken directly afterwards, to change your pants or your
sheets, he was slightly uncomfortable sharing that with
me. Did he believe that I'd think less of him because he'd
had erotic dreams, so dumb.
I wouldn't mind having an erotic dream every night, unless
I had a woman in my bed, then it'd be inappropriate. So,
while my son and I talked my phone rang, it was Erykah, I
was greatly surprised; she called me Daddy and that let me
know who I was talking to! I was also surprised by the
softness of her voice, I made mention of her in a previous
entry, in terms of her warrior spirit (cleaning up my act
here); apparently I wasn't too clear in my description. We
didn't talk long enough for my liking, she seemed to feel
that I may've wanted to end our discussion, I asked her if
she were kidding. I don't think she believed me. *frowning*
Didn't she hear the joy in my voice when I realized who
was calling me. I didn't want to call her back, due to her
sister's reaction to my call, she didn't seem pleased at
all. Believe me, I didn't want to end our talk, why would
I lose the chance to get to know her better? I thought I
liked it when she mailed me using the term "Daddy", I told
her that men like that and we do, whenever she sent me
anything (using the term) I smiled like Hell. It's even
better when she says it, she has the sweetest voice.
Damn, I love me some women! You know, as I recall, I heard
a tenderness in her voice; a sense of trepidation! We all
want to be accepted, wanted! I'm waiting for her to call
again, I'm free for lunch tomorrow. I want to put her at
ease and I don't want there to be a time when we can't
touch one another! I can also accept international calls,
so remember that when you return to Germany.
Speaking of international calls, haven't heard from Ghana,
perhaps I never will again; won't lose a bit of sleep over
that.
Hey Lynne, don't forget to send me the cost of admission
to the Home Show, we can film the show and put it on the
Family Channel; no the Comedy Channel! The show will run
24/7/365, the kids will become stars and you and the
manmeat will become millionaires, you can give your
landlord a cameo appearance on the show; that ought to be
good enough for him to waive the rent. Haha! Be good to
yourself!
Was on the phone with Shun, til she went through a tunnel
or over a mountain or through the woods, maybe she'll call
when she returns home. I'm also hoping Erykah will call
again, before I go to bed tonight.
Just called Joshua, told him to retrieve his brother
before 10pm, it's raining outside and the rain is cold.
A group of handicapped people came to skate today, it's
always a treat to watch people with difficulties trying to
overcome them, they seemed to be having such fun; I
couldn't help but smile.
I'll stop by Cingular tomorrow, see if they'll solve my
reception problem, have them fix the antenna. I didn't
know that harassment was one of the techniques of a credit
card company, I pay the late fee by choice, they don't
want me to and they keep ringing my phone without
speaking; as soon as I say hello they hang up. My account
was purchased by another company, or perhaps the company
was bought outright, don't know; eventually they'll piss
me off enough for me to call the management office and
complain threateningly.
Need food now and must prepare for plantation life for the
next five days.
Si vi pacem para bellum!
