#asknostr 
 Drove to Chicago to bang a hottie 
Man ruined my life 
Fell for him immediately 
 i got lost in the middle of a forest without supplies. when that panic sets in 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣  
 If you include being deployed into a hot warzone (twice), that.

Driving in Atlanta during rush hour? 

Being in an Italian taxi? Actually. Yes. Being driven in an Italian taxi.  
 Exploring an abandoned mine with no outside contact. 
Me and a friend didnt tell anyone where we were going. Then tried to climb down the emergency escape ladder system 600ft. We got 200ft and it was falling apart so we decided to go back up. As I got off the entire shaft collapsed in on itself and hundreds of pounds of steel went crashing to the ground in a pile of twisted metal. 
One of the most exciting vacations I ever took 
 Staying home 
 YES 
 I also went to Amsterdam for NYE 2000 cause figured if the world did end … I wanted to be where the drugs were 😂

TECHNICALLY have a lifetime ban from The Golden Tulip 🌷 but they may not recognize me now 😂😂😂 
 Nightly bar runs to Juarez. 
 Bungee jumping maybe  
 Only having shitcoins on me 
 Accidentally jumped in the ocean on Costa Rica’s west coast and got caught in a rip tide that almost drowned me. Threw up from exhaustion when I finally made it back to the beach, and kissed sand. 
 Come home 😂 
 With a bus at night from Bangkok to the Isan region in the east. I think our bus driver was on meth and hadn't slept for a week, or three.

Drove abandoned sand roads through the Mojave Desert in a Honda Civic, inevitably got stuck, buried to the axles. Stranded next to an abandoned minivan from Virginia. No one comes down that road for a day and a half. No water. Can’t sleep at night for fear of losing everything. Finally rescued by a balloon-tired monster truck coming to check on minivan that they tell me has been there for months. Dragged back to paved road. Car still runs. I live long enough for the frontal cortex to mature.
