I basically picked a trade young on the basis that I could be high/drunk for a lot of it because I was "fortunate enough" to pick a trade while I was still young, stupid and impressionable. The guy I learned the most from (and still end up working with sometimes) is like a quasi-uncle and he made me feel like I was doing something wrong if I wasn't drinking and smoking as much weed as he was on jobs. He was all "wearing a mask is fag shit, wearing eye protection is fag shit, etc. It's something you get used to on the job and then you don't need it." Pure hick shit mentality.It’d be probably be shitty for me but sometimes I miss it. I was stoned 24/7 for like 4 years. What do I have to show for it? Flunking out of college, so many ex girlfriends (not just the weed), but I can still do sick double kick flips and front board any rail with a small kicker.
I've never landed a double kick flip. And I wish I could. Count yourself lucky you didn't commit to wrecking your body as a young man.
I talk like I did gay porn or something. Prancer (1989) is the closest I ever got to that.
