Chicks dig scars...
Or so Bethany tells me... Yeah, I took a bit of a tumble. I was on my way to a church prayer meeting. I had decided to use my rollerblades, because it was a dry day (for the first time in months) and it seemed like a good idea to get some exercise. I booted up, and headed to the venue. But, it turned out, I had got the wrong place, and I had to relocate to a centre a bit of a distance away. 'Not to worry,' thought I, 'I have my skates.' And so, I skated through Burley, down towards St Matthias Church centre. I was trundling down the hill, zig-zagging to reduce my speed (my hockey skates have no brakes), when I realised that there were cars coming in both directions. I took evasive action, and attempted to stop, but there was no way I was going to come to a halt in time, and I fell. Even though I controlled the fall, and directed myself towards the sidewalk, I came down pretty hard. I tore my jeans, and also my knee. I figure that I might sew up the jeans (as they're my only pair) in a rudimentary fashion so that it's obvious I have been involved in some sort of accident. I also intend to leave them a few days before washing them, so that the blood stains them real good. And the summer's on its way, so I can enjoy a lot of short-wearing to show off the scar on my knee.
You may also notice that I have obtained a Flickr gallery on my sidebar. I thoroughly encourage you to do the same. That's all for now...

you're knee looks so bad ass. we should look bad ass at our wedding, maybe black eyes...NOT!
I think we should get wrist guards and knee guards...since we'll be rollerblading quite a bit in the summer...in both countries. YOURS HAS SO MANY HILLS! Blasted hills.
I'm glad you didn't get smoked by a car, Mark. Love, B :)
Felt a little guilty for waking you up with the phone just now, Mark. Feel a little more guilty now I know you're handicapped. It's like I stole a blind man's cane.
Thats an excellent idea Mark, to sew your jeans in a rudimentary fashion. And after you do I must see just what rudimentary looks like. I'm a curious person you know. My advice about cars an Blading would be, just take up the enitre road on hills. Make the crazy cars wait as you style your way down the hill. HAHAAHA
