And the bastards don't get me down

I had just finished diving head first into a huge bucket of chicken pad thai and was settling in for a night on the couch feeling semi-sorry for myself.

I couldn't let them in. I got up, got dressed and skated harder, faster and longer than I ever have before. I'm sweaty and tired, and the pad thai is not sitting so well right now. But dammit, I love skating and I'm going to do it no matter when anyone says.
