Skating..the ice version



PATRICK CHAN


i'm usually not the type to have favorite movie, pop, or sports stars, but this guy here is one of the first people that i seriously love.
I first saw him in the olympics and honestly..he didn't do that well
what really captured me was that he used this beautiful pastiche of phantom of the opera melodies which if you know me...i absolutely love.

and he didn't land his jumps well
but the way he moved
oh my goodnes....
the artistic expression was AMAZING

this coming from the girl who never obsessed over big bang, super junior m, brad pitt and all that good stuff.

soo..then i was pretty sure he could do better
in a huge international competition before, he had even beat out the gold medalist of the olympics
AND HES ONLY NINETEEN :O
so i watched a couple of his vids and he was pretty..amazing
and his movements...absolutely gorgeous
why can't i be as beautiful on ice?

to ice skate like that...uninhibited, flying over blue and white crisps of glistening ice
throwing yourself into an aerial vortex and then springing out of it on one leg.
even picking yourself back up when you're down.

to ice skate is to fly without restrictions, a bird heading home

  1. Have you been to the rink on a summer day before 5PM? Because typically the ice will be near deserted. I used to go then all the time so I could go as fast as I wanted without running over slow little kids.

    You're right;it's the closest thing to flying.
