I just got back from my man Keiji's b-day party in some Tokyo suburb named Saitama, so going home wasn't really an option since the trains stop running at around midnight. I crashed on his couch, and hopped on an early train when I first woke up at around six.
Six o'clock on Saturday morning, and the train was crowded as fuck. I don't get it, where do all these people need to be that early. All kinds of people I might add, not just construction workers or some shit. Salariman (suit-n-tie corporate slaves), kids in school uniforms, senior citizens, punkrocker lookin dudes and girls in full dress n make-up.
Where the fuck do you people need to be on a a saturday morning?! It's weekend!! You gotta come in at the office at 7? Nobody looked in a particular good mood either....
I get it when the old-school goes off and does his thing, but what is up with these youngsters. Nothing punk rock about it. Break free yall!
I myself gonna catch a couple more hours of zzzzzz now. oh yeah and an Advil or 2..the brews were tasting mighty healthy a couple of hours ago, but I know how that is gonna turn out. peace yall.

Skateboard sesh!
Yesterday I went skating at this park in the Musashino district. It took me a while to find the park from station, since this guy who I asked where it was send me completely the wrong way.
After an hour I found the park, it was located in this huge sports center, with a pool, track n field course, football pitches...and of course, the 'street sports' spot.
I had to wear a helmet tho, which I HATE, but it was a pretty cool course. I met up with Jani, from the Almost Famous store and his buddies. Man, Jani fuckin ripped! Super consistent, nollie tre flips in the bank, killed the rail on the pyramid with back lips, smith grinds etc.
Here's a video impression of the park, with Jani doing a lil' run in the transitions:
I hadn't skated for like 3, 4 months, so I was a little rusty, but I had a brand new Light board set up, and after a while I started feeling it again, dropping my basic arsenal of tricks, like tre flips in the bank, kickflips over the hip and backside boardslides and nose and 5-0 grinds. I had a really good time fo sho!
Me and Jani
My set-up and helmet
FYI!
And a shameless plug for Light Skateboards! My Amsterdam people started this company last year, and the boards are manufactured at Watson, where they also do DGK and Western Edition. The product is poppin!!!! Check out their video ad:
