from the day you first registered with 12oz to now

i thought this would be an interesting concept since the past about 4 years have changed for me significantly. god i sound retarded.

 

since july 2001...

 

i have gotten smarter.

 

got worse at graffiti.

 

got a car.

 

quit skateboarding and riding.

 

acquired many jobs, all relativley high-paying.

 

acquired alot more alcohol on a weekend basis. although that has been decreasing.

 

learned more/got better at fighting. (yes the whole martial-arts thing, shut up.)

 

i went to alot of shows, that has dramatically decreased.

 

i think the most important thing was not becoming like every other retard who grew up on mtv and listened to everything they heard.

 

 

 

 

now its your turn. hopefully you didn't register yesterday.

moved (back) to detroit

moved to philladelphia

moved to georgia

moved (back) to philly

moved (back) to detroit

went (back) to school, got a 'degree'

got a car (and a monthly payment :( )

got better at graffiti

learned to stop arguing with every dickface with a keyboard

had a couple relationships

travelled to almost every state in the US

painted with friends all over the country/world

learned all sorts of stuff

met a lot of people

let go of a lot of people

grew up a TON

finally managed to see myself living past tomorrow...

 

 

it's been a pretty decent 4 1/2 years. some real high ups and some real low downs, but in the end, they both make for good stories so fuck it.

one of the most important things that's happened, and i'm not even ashamed to admit it, is a lot of my 'closest' friends came about through this site. of course it was painting that really brought us together, but it was this site that brought us to painting.

life is pretty bananas.

my spelling and sentance structure has worsenened the minute i set foot on 12oz in 99..

 

at least i stopped using capslock after the first few months i registered..

 

plus i can now say i have read every thread in the yard (all pages through both updates) at least twice... and because of this i have sworn off meanstreaks...forever

ive gotten two good jobs, one showing me a shitty way to earn a living (the a/c job) and then my well paying, using your mind more than your body job that has a lot of potential and makes me feel proud to be where im at job.

 

ive matured a lot. drinking more now than back then. trying to get out more. enjoying life a whole lot more. and feeling good lately, real good.
