this past sunday i was curising around on my new 65s. thats 65mm wheels i got for my skateboard. i was pretty psyched with the improvement from my previous rock-hard wheels. I also had them replace my bearings with a set of brand new abec 5s that i had bought for my stowboard. while cruisin in the sunday sun, i rode by a massage place. lately i had been thinking of getting some type of a massage while still in the city so i was poking around outside reading the sign. a woman came outside and told my to come in, thats pretty much all the convincing i needed. i thought i would have sat in the window of the front of the shop and get some type of foot reflexology type massage, but the woman led me down a dark and narrow hallway and opened a curtain to her right. i went inside and saw the massage bed and realized i was in for a full body massage. i had never had one before so i figured now was as good a time as any. the woman closed the curtain and left. i wasnt sure what was going on, but in my akwardness i sat on the massage tabled and waited. 5 mins later i hear, “ready?” one of the few english words this woman seemed to know. i replied excitedly “yes!” she entered the room and through her glued on smile i could tell something was amiss, she seemed let down. and she said “u want back?!?” as she pointed and made a mimed massage motion, i replied “umm, yes!” and she quickly responded, “well, shirt off!” [with a smile] then she pointed to my legs and made the same hand motion, “legs?!?”, again i replied with an agreeable “yes!”, “wellll”, she reponded, “pants off!”, in an effort to get the most comprehensive massage session, and avoid her going through every district of the body, i said “i guess i want everything!”… and the clever masseuse reponded with the same smile “wellllll, everything off!”

after my 40 minute massage, i walked my gumbo feeling body outside and i continued my sunday cruise. where i ended my adventure in brooklyn for bbq.
