I just started hanging out with an old friend again and he lives right by a skate park. He's been going several times a week and is trying to get me to come along. It'll probably do me some good to get a hobby that isn't just sitting on my ass and drinking. --- Save for your doomed future <cite>a-c-a-b posted [p:944814213] in I'm thinki...

I also had a lot more balls back then but then again a broken arm doesnt matter as much when you arent working for a living. Still not dropping off roofs anymore though. Lol.
