i met paul in 8th grade...we didnt really talk much at first...there was this kid lance..he was like a genius..it was sweet his dad was like this radio weather guy..we were both friendswith him..he wasnt even that cool...but we still wanted to be friends with him...later in the year me and paul were looking at friend josh's ccs magazine..and we saw skateboards in it..and our friend josh skated..so i decided to get one..i thought it would be fun...so for my birthday i got one...i sucked..it was hard..but fun..and addicting...me and paul started talking more ...he told me he was going to get a board too...he did a couple of months later..we started talking alot ..and we skated after lunch everyday..it was cool...we talked alot after that..towards the end of the year i met mike d..and jesse..one day..me and rick were skating in the side street on this thing we made and we looked down the street ..and i saw mike d and jesse for the first time ever....well actually..i saw mike d once before but i never met him...so i got kind of scared ..they were skating i thought they would be like 5908495 times better than me and rick...but they were just as good as us...jesse didnt like me...and it was kind of weird..because he was black..i thought he would like hate me or something...but we all skated together for a while that day..then mike d told me that we should skate again..so we did..with jesse too...we would skate at the school..or the college..or ...the missionary. sigh........sometimes we would skate next to jesses house in this parking lot..i didnt really go to pauls house in dearborn when the first summer i met him..i spent more time with mike d and jesse...this is the same summer i met steve s. one day after me and mike went to steves ...we were driving back and we saw this kid skating and we were like STOPPPPP...because he was like a block from our houses...so we got out and were like hey...his name was eric..he just started skating..but he was pretty good..we were like have you ever skated at the school..and he was like no..so we went the a couple of days later ...he learned to do the stairs in like a month..he was crazy...we hung out with him kind of alot...but he had a job and stuff..so we didnt see him that much...towards the end of the summer i started going to pauls a little...one time i went there...there was this kid there..i didnt know who he was..but paul told me about him..he said his name was ryan. he was so funny i laughed so much/...all paul and him talked about was like this kid jake orr or something..one time i was there..ryan downloaded this song called russian roulette by hot water music he thought was alkaline trio..that was like his favorite band..he just found out about and them...and this other one called total immortal..by afi..which soon became pauls favorite..i was all like finch kid...i heard them on the first atticus cd and i was like omg..so yeah..mike d and jesse never came to pauls...but me and mike d went to transistions alot...so did me and paul..but not together..so they never met yet...fdifdfiosadf...transistions. wow. that place is the greatest ever. i remember the helmets always smelled like lysol..it was weird..but i love that smell now...i would always get gatorade and combos..so this takes us to about fall of 02 at this point..paul moves to livonia...and im going to hfa...where i meet jimmy. scott, and john paul..i hung out with those guys a little during the school year...but it was more with paul and ryan..and mike d...i started going to pauls new house in livonia..he started showing me all these sweet skate spots.. like mcgowans and the woodchip gap...and the schools..mike didnt start going to pauls for a while... me paul and ryan would go skating every weekend..one time.. i was like hey guys watch me roll down mcgowans...and i fell straight on my arm..and it was all bloody..i think it was around the time it started snowing when mike d started coming over pauls...we all started becoming really good friends now...it was winter now..and around my birthday...i had a rent out at transistions..and EVEERYONE went!!!!dffgaff jesse, eric, rick, paul, scott, jimmy, mike, me, ryan, john paul......it was sooo fun...i think actually a couple of weeks before this i met awesome jake at transistions..anyways...one day around x-mas..me and paul went to ryans...the first time i was ever there..and we had really good food..then went skating..it was snowing but the ground wasnt wet or anything...we went to coreys..and i met him..then we went to little ceasers...and..the bank and we skated..it was so much fun...we just kept hanging out after that me, mike, ryan, and paul...almost every weekend was at pauls...a couple of months went by...skating at spots by paul..hanging out..it started getting pretty warm out again...then shannon broke up with mike...right after he got expelled...but i have to keep goin here so..anyways this is when we first find out about this wonderful thing called...the han d dip..its the greatest place ever...we would stay at pauls then wake up and skate to han d dip like every day..then wed do whatever all day randomly stopping at hn d dip over and over just to hang out..one day i was at pauls..and he was like dude..we have to go to this chicks house..shes really cool..her name is marie..i was like it better not be far..so we walked a couple of blocks and paul was like its the 5th house from the corner with a yellow garage door..well there was obviously more than one of those on the street..so we knock on this door and this guy comes out and paul goes...is marie here...and he goes ..uhm no ..there is no marie living here...so were like ok...WAIT next street...so we go the the 5th house with a yellow garage ..and we knock and marie answers the door..so we hung out there and i met marie...so we do the usual hanging out for a couple of weeks..its starting to get really warm by now..and im at pauls one day...and im on pauls s/n and im just iming random people ...and then im like who is this..and paul was like.. thats my cousins friend..anne..and as it turns out mike d was like best friends with her and she went to dc where mike got expelled from so i didnt get to meet her for a little while it was almost summer by now..so we already started hanging out with even, bill, bazzle, adam everyone..alot ..one day anne was supposed to come to han d dip..and .. we were waiting..then a car drove by and mike d was like SUJFHSSF THAT WAS HER..so we had to go to house another day...we got directions..to make a right on gary lanes mom.<3 so we skated for a while then we went to k-mart for a break and got something to drink ..then we went to find her house but we obviously turned the wrong way.. and we got lost in this suburb place and finally we gave up and went to this gas station and called pauls mom...and we were waiting and we were like (what if the gas station blew up) because we were skating at it and this thing on the ground like opened and we were like OHH MY GOD..yeah soo anyways we didnt make it to annies house...so we had to go another day but this time we found it ..and i got to meet annie and we all hung out at her house...and we were outside..and her neighbor came over..jen...and she didnt really talk to any of us..:-\..so yeah we all hung out a couple of times...daughduikghf OH YEAH the park. they built a new skatepark like a block from pauls...and all of us were so happy to have a free park ......GAY i have to go to bed and im just going to
