haha, i did that, too! hootie and the blowfish, baby - they deserved it!

i've done so many stupid things it's difficult to choose one thing out of a general haze of stupidity ... uhhh, well, i play violin, and i played a solo at this church, and to get off stage, i had to walk down 4 or 5 steps to this door that led to the sound control room, and i took one step and tumbled down the rest of the stairs, crumpling against the door. luckily, my violin was in tact. sadly, my pride was not.

Here's another in the plethroa of dumb things I've done. When I was 6 and our family was getting ready to go on our boat we had at the time, we were walking down the dock and I wasnt paying attention and walked right off the end into the water. Seriously, if my stepdad wouldnt have seen me and jumped in after me, there might have been a problem.

Hopefully nothing bad became of your encounter with the stranger?

things that come to mind:

Playing cigarette chicken 4 years ago, with my friend Alan, and i have a permanent hideous scar from the burn on my forearm.

In junior high I jumped from the bleachers in the school gym to hang from the basketball rim. I caught the rim but only held on for about 2 seconds, then fell backwards and landed on my head. I was knocked unconscious for about 2 minutes. Talk about a lump!

I paid $700 for 2 front row Fleetwood Mac tickets in May 2004. ha!

I finally had "relations" with a girl where there was sexual tension all thru high school. I left Little Rock and moved back to Atlanta, about 4 years after we graduated. It was great for about 3 months, but it wasn't based on anything but sex, and it ruined the friendship.

-I tried to "climb my bedroom wall" when I was three and busted my head open.

-Smoked weed while drunk.

-Attempted to walk through a screen door, and we (the screen door and I) landed in my friend's living room.

-Went the wrong way down an exit ramp and headed straight on into traffic. (And I was totally sober.)

There's so many other things. Maybe I'll post more later.
