Nah, I really do enjoy it. I have to toss out the occasional marriage related joke for shitz n gigglz, but I wouldn't trade it. I got two beautiful stepdaughters with the deal, and they're my world. I will say this, though: I would not have been ready for marriage until my mid 20s. Anything before that would have been a huge disaster.

Woah woah, I didn't mean the russian revolution like a bad thing...

I only rode a fixed gear bike on a race track.


I would never consider riding one on the road I would be too scared to kill myself.
