I couldnt grasp the concept, and one day i started doing figure 8's bored of that parking lot i was imprisoned in.. What a world of a difference out on the open road, man the shit weve seen could only make you laugh, some moments could make you cry, some just reminding you how fortunate you are just being out there.. its all biscuits n gravy baby...
