stefan86's offtopic random retard thread - post away!

i wish i could have talked to myself all those years ago when i first joined. I wouldnt have been such a mess if i knew id figure it all out.

my wife and i just moved into our first house. its got oil heat so its cozy af.

today marks 2 years since i quit drinking. didnt really have anywhere to share since my AA meetings arent in person anymore. i still feel the hands around my neck, but im strong enough now not to get pulled into the grave.

just wanted to share. i hope everyone is doing well.
 
and the very next day Alexi dies. Thanks life, great joke. Children of Bodom was the band that got me into metal
 
Oh man, that timing couldn't have been worse. I was never a big COB fan, their style and sound never really appealed to me, but I dug a couple songs back when I was getting into more extreme metal. Solid guitarist though.
 
Yeah, he used to be a beast in 2000s. I picked up the guitar mostly thanks to Aleksi, picked up a couple of bad habits too :D Like using the pinky on my left hand to pivot, and not using the pinky on my right for leads.
