THOUGHTS
I think a lot, I can't help it. You'll find out soon enough.
(normally when doing something mundane)

Violence

So I arrive at the Green,
and there's this blood splattered
all over the floor... no big deal...
skaters always hurt themselves..

I didn't think anymore of it... about a half hour later, Carters saying "watch your back man... stick together, stick together".. and I'm like "what?".. "that moo is crowding over there"... and this dude on a bike was hussling up this kid (about 14... sorry if I patronise, I don't mean to) ... my mate was sat right by the kid... real close, on guard almost... I skate up and crowd the dude... the dude blanks me and keeps hussling... cool I thought.. i'm in range here if anything kicks off and I'm being blanked, couldn't be better. The dude gives up hussling the kid... maybe he got some bad vibes y'know... but he cruised around to another area... me and my mate followed... the dude was hunting again... the dude stops up against some people and before he can kick off... me and my mate crowd the dude... and a little war of words begin.., "watchu doin man", "quit frontin me", "f*ck you", "you ain't doin this shit here", "this is our crew", "I've seen you on the frontline", "I walk that route", "move on man"... etc... then the golden words popped outa the guys mouth... "you gunna hit me?"... i get the red mist... and step up before my mate and launch .... "nah, man.... I'm gunna hit you, I'm f*ckin hitting you first"... all the time my mates crowding the dude..... I circle round the back of the dude.... and he's freaked a little cause I'm outa his vision.... so he's turning and talking... whilst I just stand covering the b-side... the guys still freakin a little... you could see it in his eyes... he turns the cranks and makes motions to move on... while the words still flow.... he's spooked and moving. The dude leaves the Green.

Carter comes up and says... "shit man, don't be stupid.. i said watch your back.... didn't you see the blood?"... I'm like yeah... "that's reno's blood man... the moos were here yesterday and took out reno, that's renos blood".... I'm like "what?".... "yeah the dudes crowded a kid and reno stepped up... they nicked Stalkers board and whacked reno to the floor... renos in hospital now."

Oh... and Carter brought his rail down... low but good...I skated it all night... until the Green cleared then hit back to Carters for a Chinese. It was a good evening at the Green.. no-one got hurt.
