power of love

if you're totally busy and you end up taking a late lunch and you're driving along sandhill road around 3:15ish, you might be lusky enough to see my favorite couple. they get around on a skateboard. it's adorable. because tiny blonde girl stands on the front of the skateboard and backwards baseball cap boy stands on the back and pushes and holds tiny blonde girl up.
and if you listen close enough you can hear "the power of love" playing in the background.
i can't help thinking that the skateboard couple is a metaphor for something.
i don't know what.

It sounds like that thematic symbol in the novel of your life.

Kat,
you are my density.

And I still feel bad for the man falling down the stairs.

Unless he deserved it.

In which case I hope he breaks his tailbone.

'The only way to stay on the Skateboard of Love is to hold each other close and try to keep your balance'

How's that for finding the meaning in the Skateboarding lovers. But a more realistic approach would probably be to see that it's probably HIS skateboard that they are riding on. And also HE is supporting her while doing all the work to get them where they want to go and SHE gets to enjoy the ride. Also, I'm sure he has altered his outward appearace (cap turned backward, cause we all know that any self-respecting skater would not wear his hat backward on purpose but would wear it either normal or slightly turned to one side of his head) so that she would be comfortable while enjoying the ride on his skateboard while he pushes the board along. It may very well be a glimps of things to come in their life. ?????

Sounds like awful scene of "Titanic." "I'm the king of the ... skateboard."

ha, maybe she'll kick him off and watch him roll on the asphalt one day as he clings to her for hope.
