    How many skateboarders does it take to change a lightbulb? One, but it'll take him 100 tries.

    Lets set the scene: Working random jobs, spent a month and some change squatting at random houses. Lots of drugs, booze but sadly no women. Picked guitar back up again during this time. Tried to off self but it didn't work. end of 2009. (this whole period merges with 2010 and I can't remember a lot of it.)



    Lived in a laundry room basement
    got kicked out.
    squat
    Lived with dad, dad almost dies from stress.
    kicked out
    party/squat
    live with sister and nephew
    squat
    Move to Raleigh, go back into school
    Skated a lot, but didn't feel like I got better
    sober half the year, no drugs, weed, booze, nothing. Then suddenly... moderate user of booze/weed, no other drugs (current)
    Financially, epic things happen: realizes he can go anywhere in the country he wants. pretty much free of charge for the next decade.
    current: Everything has turned out much better then I expected.

    2011, just trying to get basic shit right in my head, body and soul now. Thinking positive for a change. (shits scary)

    I turned 21 somewhere in there, but srsly. wasn't thinking about my age at all during the early part of the year.
