a great memory of being a teenager and enjoying the skateboarding hobby and tech decks fingerboarding too out of my mind with how much fun i had dwelling over what belongings i had some generously given from neighbors

 here's a very specific memory i had so i was starting middle school so excited with that there was aol instant messenger and i really enjoyed tech deck finger boards but my parents only let me get so much so i had to make do with what i had i even remember my friend who had a bunch of stuff i was envious of the ramp set and other stuff the pair of tony hawk shoes

i remember how into skateboarding i was so i'd get the ccs mail order catalog and wish so bad i had stuff from there my grades were usually pretty good and with that my parents would let me get a pair of skate shoes at the mall i remember the years doing that summer and fall the school year and staying active with youth sports football basketball baseball

when we moved to alexandria it was amazing i remember when it began we did some stuff like we'd go to apple bees and i'd order the chicken tenders with honey mustard um there'd be public school football games to go to with my friends being a kid

i had a few nearby neighborhood kids to hang out with casey with his mom as a bus driver trying to get a desk job with the school (that later she got i think) pierce whose family was rich and he'd take us to the country club michael who'd let me hang out at his dad's house all day (we'd have popcorn before school and chill before going to the bus stop) and how the change happened when we finished elementary school little cliques beginning to form preps middle class partiers

so i'd be at the house on cavalier drive i could skate the neighbors box he had (and see other older kids after the 90s bleached hair ecko baggy clothes sometimes intros to drugs) with the complete made of scraps the neighbors gave me i'd have a few tricks on lock um i was so crazy about girls and there was the start of online downloads

there was the bus ride all the way to carl sandburg middle in fort hunt um there'd be when the concerts started and we'd do some underage drinking there was burd and me taking the bus to the springfield mall before they closed and opened again hanging out at his mom's house a lava lamp a black light betta fish band shirts

when atticus dragging the lake came out that cd the music videos back then the cable television hey arnold on dexter's lab being at the school gym class the wheel classes shop lunch the bus rides my peers to chat with um then the next thing might've been the music rock and roll punks
