Yeah, it was a bank holiday and I wanted to blog something. Took the tag from Bikram's post and decided to enlighten you about my life. :)
This tag is pretty simple. Just strike out the things that
You have not done so far and to make it a bit spicier add a line or two as
explanation to the ones that you have Done..
1. Graduated high
school … Yes. Long time ago
2. Kissed someone…
Well, I am single so I better not answer this.
3. Smoked a cigarette.
…. Yes, but not properly. For various reasons I wanted to smoke so many times,
but always found some reasons to not. So, smoking a cigarette for me means
holding one between my fingers and pretending.
4. Got so drunk you
passed out… Never. Not a big drinker.
5. Rode every ride at
an amusement park… Nope. Don’t like roller coasters and the scary rides. I
am only good for very gentle ones like boats and stuff.

something stupid… when I was a boy we used to make playing cards out of

Of course. Isn’t that part of being human?
