falling off the edge

so whilst i was at work today i was listening to the champion last show cd on my iphone and it got to the part when there singer started talking about straight edge and i realised just how right he was.
his speech was basicly about how edge was a LIFEstyle choice and not just a teenage rebellion, and how when these kids break edge they dont just go and have the occasional smoke or teh occasional drink with dinner they go and smoke 40 a day or become drinkers and it got me thinking about frends of mine who broke edge. in no way am i putting my friends down i love them and i respect there choices in life, however it seems that since they broke edge they have become drinkers somewhat and smokers as well! before they became edge i never remember them drinking as much as they seem to do now and its got me worried that they may start needing the stuff to have fun when i know they dont because when they were edge we used to have lots of fun! im also not saying that they never used to drink alot becaue i know they did but only at birthdays and festivals and such not every week.

straight edeg to me is a very big part of my life, im very proud to be edge, i have never drunk but i used to smoke quite heavily so when i quit i had a huge sence of satisfaction and that continues to this day. im not telling every one to go edge because its not for everyone its simply hard for me to understand why people claim then break a year or so later, i claimed when i was a lil older than 16 so i may have been young and " unable to drink anyway" (bollocks if i wanted to drink do drugs or smoke it would have been to easy and i could have donw it daily if i wanted) i have stuck to it! i didnt turn 18 and think " wahey lets go get hammerd lols" im 20 now and in june next year i would have made it past the legendary 21 mark and i plan to keep on going!


Since Alfie was born i havnt been able to hangout as much as i used to and that on top of almost everyone going to uni menas that when i do see my friends it means alot to me and i try to enjoty it as much as i can. im hoping that we dont grow apart and we stay frends but at the moment i am doubtful! i think its part of life that people grow appart, i just didnt think it would happen so soon. i need to make more of an effort to see the friends close to me and try my best to stay in contact with those who have moved away.

rant over sorry if iv offended anyone i didnt mean to v probably missed out stuff but i cant be arsed to look back over this
will add to later if i feel the need!
