If you're wondering why i got them, well a friend of mine is very fond of skating, and in the evening when we go for our 'walk', she would be in skates, and i would be walking/jogging, or even sprinting some distance. As anyone could notice, this wasn't a fair arrangement, after all one of us is always at a disadvantage (in case of a race, she's the disadvantaged one, but in the long run i guess its me), so to even things out i decided to get a pair of skates.
Which also has the advantage of giving me an extra hobby to pursue, other than playing the guitar, writing songs or articles or reading a novel. Of course obtaining the skates wasn't an easy task, both in terms of locating them and paying for them (but Dad did so anyway, so thanks dad). But now at last the skates are here in my possession.And at the end of the day, as the sound of skates thumping and scraping against gravel and stones plays over and over again in my mind, and i look down upon my bruised and battered hands, I guess it was a worthwhile investment.
