Luckily, I wasn't working at the time. And, I was only in jail for 1 and a half days, but I enjoyed every single minute of it. They had stacks of magazines to read, and I had only glanced through a portion of them and then they told me: We're releasing you early, because of good behavior.

Now if I had known that, I would have been a bad boy. I so wanted to get to the end of that magazine pile.

Little did I realize in the town I was in at the time, my "crime" made its way into the newspaper, entitled: Local Man Goes to Jail For Not Paying Parking Fine. Apparently, I was the first one in the community to do that: Rochester, Minnesota actually.

Well, my parents had a fit about it.

"How do you think this makes us look now in this community? That we're too poor to pay our son's parking fine?"

Heroin

When I was younger and dumber, I climbed a cliff in Palo Duro Canyon, without any tools, whatever. About half way up, I noticed a bunch of boy scouts watching, across the way. I thought I was completely alone, up there.

In about the same time frame, I remember seeing a car to the right and one on the left, as I was approaching. All my buddies were telling me, "There's not enough room!"

Well, I showed them. But I agree there really wasn't much room...

Decided to try skydiving. Not crazy and I'd been thinking about it for a while, but one day just did it.

Think I talked someone into not killing me. Obviously I didn't instigate that, but was tap dancing for my life. It was one of the the scariest things that has ever happened to me.

Living in Europe and met a spy for lunch. Actually had to leave the building at different times...

Thats insane man, you could have broken every bone or even killed yourself. Even since I saw that helmet video were a bungee jumper's elastic rope breakes, hights and climbing have not been the same. How did you manage to get down?

I know i've done crazier things but I've hung upside down off of a 7 story terrace/balcony which is very odd because i've always hated heights

It was me and two other people, I was 12 and they were 13 (girl) and 14 (boy).

Oddly, enough, I don't remember. I probably found an easier way down. What I do remember is a little tree sticking out of the side of the cliff and thinking, "If I slip and fall, I'll try to hit that little tree." But then I figured it was twenty feet lower than I was and that I wouldn't be able to do anything but break a couple of bones, ahead of time. And I certainly wouldn't be able to catch it like they do in the movies.

LOL!! Funny story!
Actually, I think that was quite a noble thing to do for a young man. I did something similar here in Newark, NJ over a "trespassing" ticket. Only my 44 hours in the city holding tank were not as pleasant and there weren't any cool magazines to look at. It guess Newark treats it's prisoners a little different than Rochester, Minnesota.

Got a call from a friend who said 'We're going to Vegas, you in?' I HATED my job at the time, so I called in sick and left about 2 hours later. Drove a 1923 Ford roadster from San Luis Obispo to Vegas for a weekend full of fun
Played texas hold em with a few hookers, drug a friend out of the Bellagio fountains AND the venetian 'canals', played a show (I play bass) with a few friends outside the Mirage, watched my buddy get a tattoo of the Jiffy Lube logo on his ass and partied with a few well known rock stars and porn stars

Then... drove that damned ford all the way back. The day we got back, I was able to photograph a guy getting his tongue split (intentionally) and that was the first time I ever got a photo published in a national magazine.

What a weekend

I have never thought I would make friends with a dog, I always feared them, I have friends in a village and everytime I went there to have some fresh air for a weekend they locked the dog in a room, then I decided to overcome the fear and I got acquainted with the biggest dog I have ever seen, he weighs 58 kilos and me at that time 50 kilos, and half my size, but the meeting was ok, Bak smelled me, but nothing even a filthy shirt could not steal my joy. Now I am not scared of dogs, I think they are lovely creatures.
