 When I was 12 I planned for a solid week how I could douse myself in gasoline, light myself on fire and then jump off the roof into my friends pool. 

I only didn’t do it because we were convinced the gasoline would mean the pool would have to be drained and my friends father would be pissed the fuck off. 

It’s a miracle I’m still alive today lol 😂 
 That's hilarious.  Balsy,  but funny AF.  Lol 
 My first website I made was “Arizona pyros association” lmao we would shoot wd40 at flames and rig lighters to make the flames bigger and shit lol I was just thinking about this the other day how thankful I am I didn’t kill myself 
 I’m sure we all had a certain cookbook hidden under our bed lol 😂 
 Same 😂😂😂 omg so relatable 
 Think of the roof damage from the gasoline before you jumped. Yeah, he’d be pissed! 
 lol didn’t even think about that. We totally could have set the house on fire 
 So he’d be like: hey, is that charcoal still identifiable? Get his ol man on the phone! 
 "I could be a Steve-O" 
 Basically my thinking at the time lol 
 thanks for sharing 
 I think I’m on the winning team…

🥶 
 We’ll need another sacrifice next halving if you become interested again. 
 I once climbed onto the roof of the car driving down the highway at 70mph and held on like a stuntman.  😜 
 You miss 💯 of the shots you don't take! 
 We would have been such good friends as kids 
 Hahaha I’ve done so much stupid shit in my day 
 hahahah they were great days 🙃 surfing storm drains, wakeboarding flooded rivers, climbing 10 storey buildings using the drain pipes, cliff diving at 8yrs old - got a royal roasting for that one! ...   
 We did many roof top jumps into shit above ground pools.  Rode bikes off roof into said pool.  Many stupid stunts. Lucky to have full bodily function for sure. #90skidshit 
 Now we understand statistics stating more males die before the age of 25 than females. 🤣 
 Dumped gas in the creek and lit it. Almost burned the park down.  

Tossed a cup of gas in fireplace wet wood wouldn’t start it shot flame to my hand, I tossed the fireball and burned spots all over mom’s new carpet.  

Stuck wire in a socked and the next time it was used was me plugging a god forsaken electric mower.  Flame shot out of wall burnt my hand.  Mom would crush the Codeine in applesauce which I puked all over neighbors front porch while working donations for jog-a-thon. 
 To be old and wise, you must first have been young and stupid 🫡 
 It would've worked. 🤣 
 I know! That’s what I’m saying! 
 Good stuff Hodl 
 😂 
 Now you just gaslight others rather than yourself 😜 
 Apparently one of my wife’s friends was asking her about this thing called respectful parenting or something like that. I’ve never heard of it. But basically letting your kid dictate how you parent them. We had a good convo about how ridiculous it sounded and then I read this Lolol 
 Gentle parenting probably. Yeah it’s very stupid lol 
 I hope it’s a joke and you only were inspired by Jackass. 
 I was dead serious about doing this. Thank god I didn’t lol 
 When I was 12 my biggest concern was getting enough quarters to go play Mortal Kombat at the arcade and/or begging my mom to take me to the arts and crafts store so I could get more of those notebooks with graph paper for the hypothetical game I wanted to build someday… 
 this sounds like the childhood of so many of a certain age. we were and some still are bullet proof 🙃 

and we wonder why we have a nanny nation. 
 Me and neighbor were destroying ant hills with gasoline. Friend didn't realize that you're not supposed to light them on fire! The gas cap was open and caught the flame. Thankfully he put the gas cap back on in time.
