I'm back in Barrie, not sure why other than to pay off debts and be close to my only family... I skateboard, write, read, sing, draw, eat, sleep, anything I canin 24 hours.

âYou have four years to be irresponsible here. Relax. Work is for people with jobs. You'll never remember class time, but you'll remember time you wasted hanging out with your friends. So, stay out late. Go out on a Tuesday with your friends when you have a paper due Wednesday. Spend money you don't have. Drink 'til sunrise. The work never ends, but college does..."â Tom Petty.
