<< hey lucky,
where are you from, i used to be in dupage
>>




I used to live all over chicago (wilmette, winnetka) but at the time of that arrest (~7 years ago) I was living in clarendon hills. Right next door to OmegaNauce and dorkus, apparently. :) Dont live there anymore but I still visit my stepmom who still lives there. The house is right off the train station downtown.




can u explain those lucky? I dont wanna try and decipher the legal stuff..



I've explained the incident in detail before...but the gist of it was that I got into a fight with my dad that eventually led to my arrest on battery and weapons charges. The initial court papers claim I stabbed him intentionally but my father later dropped that claim so I could avoid jail time and instead goto reform school.

Was one of many dumb things when I was younger. I was trying to kick a light fixture (wanting to be like Bruce), I could kick vertically over my head but was trying to add a leap to it so I could go higher (a little over 8') and kicked with a little too much momentum and for a sec just seemed to float (felt cool, but knew what was happening). Concrete is not a friend to your head.

Not stupid, just an accident...

9 years old
Middle finger + doorjam = bloodystub
...Everything is okay now but it latched. Broke my nail into 3 pieces, fractured the bone because it had to compress to close all the way, and did some crazy @(*& to the skin and surrounding flesh.

Got really drunk at 6 flags and lost my hat on a roller coaster. Decided to climb the fence to get it back. The fence was waaay to high and I was way to drunk. Going over the fence I broke my foot which hurts me to this day if I walk on it for too long. Couldn't find my hat - Came back over the fence and landed on my right wrist severly breaking it.
To top it all off, I made my equally really drunk friend drive me the 20 minute drive home.
