I would go skydiving, rocky mountain climbin, 2.7 seconds on a bull named fu- man-chu. I would love deeper, and spoke sweeter. This is how i live i hope that someday you get the chance to live like you were dyin. Really i would do all the crazy stuff along with tell every girl that i ever liked that i liked her just to get it all off my chest. i would make sure that everyone knew how i felt about them. I would go to church.
