I don't care about skating at all.
I mean, really, what's so great about skating, anyway?
It's basically just gliding, trying not to fall,
with a couple of jumps thrown in, right?
And Spandex and glitter. Egos.
Ice blows.
But it's not the ice. It's what the ice lets you do.
Out there, I feel like I can do anything.
It's the only place where life makes sense.
You've never skated?
When I was a kid, a little.
But my brother and sister don't like anyone to steal their focus.
My life was nothing but focus.
You know what I got for my tenth birthday?
A six-pack of protein shakes and a subscription to Men's Health.
I didn't have a tenth birthday.
My sister told all my friends I was in jail for armed robbery.
When I was nine, my dad insisted on having me circumcised
to minimize wind resistance.
While driving me to skating practice, my parents were in a fatal accident.
My brother and sister blame me for their death
and they force me to work for them like a slave.
I never really thought of that as a romantic story before.
