first off, im glad to hear that you were not seriously injured in your motorcycle accident. ive heard some very bad stories of motorcycle accidents, and i consider you incredibly lucky to WALK away with your injuries. i do not consider my judgement to be clouded in the least (a response im sure you all expected) i think situations through, and calculate the risks involved. when something doesnt feel right, i back off. when i take bigger risks, i make sure that they are worth the reward. and i do not consider you dumb, stupid, insane, and so on for doing the stunts you did when you were younger. im sure your reasoning for doing such things was good enough for you, whatever they may be... impressing girls, getting rid of anger, spiritual reasons, or just because you love that adrenaline pumping through your veins. and in 5 years, i think i will probably be doing the same things i am now... except i will be done with school... and have a job...
