..you're browsing some fine Internet pr0n, flip to the next photo, and ignore the sultry naked chick because she's standing in front of an abandoned factory, which is far more interesting...

... and then wish she'd move out of the way too...

......your butt itches. And then a few days later you find that you really sliced it open and can't remember on what. Same holds true for arms, legs, and necks.

You know your an urban explorer when...

You spend 2+ hours on Google Earth or Windows Live looking for abandoned buildings.(my eyes still hurt)


haha i spent 9 hours on google earth yesterday, and 4 hours today. sometimes i take naps with my eyes open staring at the screen, without noticing until it's 3 hours later, and i'm still looking at the same building.

haha when you're broke and have already been to most/all locations in the area, its hard to find anything to explore that costs less than $20 gas roundtrip.

i have accepted staring at google earth for hours as just an everyday thing. my eyes haven't, though. :[

You know you are an urban explorer when you are coming back from the grocery store in a new city, you notice a concrete barrier in front of a overgrown road with a sign that says: DANGER. BRIDGE CLOSED. and you quickly pull off the road and make your girlfriend wait in the car while you check it out.

You know your an urban explorer when:

:every time you pass a chain link fence, your eyes automatically check it for holes or barbed wire...

:then you search for trees that branch out over the fence...

:You see a cop car in a factory's parking lot, but still think "Maybe if I..."

:you love the smell of rotting wood.

:you wear darker clothing because rust is less noticable on jeans than dockers.

:You try to make a crappy monoscope for your camera out of a golf Range finder.

:you see a broken window and feel hopeful.

:you realize that your tripod is your best friend!

(This is a personal one for me)
:you finally get the balls to climb up on that rusty old catwalk.

:you have different size memory cards for your camera, depending on the buildings photo potential.

:you see a no trespassing sign with law statute numbers on it...and actually look them up!

When you're in your favorite state hospital that's about to be demolished, and you smell the air and wish you could make a deodorant out of it.

If you were watching the Transformers movie last night, and in the middle of a big alien robot fight, you notice the building the kid has to bring "the cube" to the top of looks like an awesome abandonment to explore.

You know you are an urban explorer when...

- you shop at salvation army stores because you know that the same $30 dollar pants elsewhere you paid 5 bucks for are only going to last until you hop that barbwire fence at the old abandoned mill

- your parents, friends, and friends parents, all think you are going to be arrested every time you leave your house

- while your *lame* friends are playing tomb raider, you are sneaking around cemeteries seeing if any crypts have been opened recently

- when you hear about the latest old decrepit factory that is torn down for that new Shopping Center... the first thing that comes to mind is "ohhh... all that beautiful asbestos ridden brickwork is gone"

- but are restored in spirit <just a little> when you here the shopping mall will have an army surplus store and Eastern Mountain Sports store ... and there is a very big opening sale...

- the first thing you think when you see some new security measure is how to circumvent it...

- locked doors piss you off more than the cop who arrested you for B&E <well if it wasn't locked i wouldn't have had to break that window officer>

- You cut up porn magazines and glue the sexy women onto your own UE photographs ... and enjoy a private moment... inside that abandoned mill with jenna jameson and krystal steele

- If you here on the news someone broke into a building but apparently hadn't stolen something; and the first thing you do is check your camera to see if you caught the perpetrator while you were there the last night...

- If you spend more time conversing with the homeless than your own family...

- You believe that the reason all buildings are locked is that meanie-face greedy people dont want you to see what is inside...

- If the only thing better than sex is vadding and the only thing better than vadding is having sex while vadding...

YOU MITE JUST BE AN URBAN EXPLORER

Rigor mortis makes it too difficult to keep dragging her out and putting her back in.

mutantMandias may cause dizziness, sexual nightmares, and sleep crime. ++++ mutantMandias has to return some videotapes ++++ Do not taunt mutantMandias

mutantMandias is something more than human, more than a computer. mutantMandias is a murderously intelligent, sensually self-programmed, non-being

you spend most of your weekends doing "recon work"

decrepit rusted buildings on your everyday commute to work and make a mental not of it so you can look it up on google earth

you have more photo albums dedicated to your exploration than your family

When You stare at your local hospital as you pass it on the highway and think "I'd rather be in there then at this party"

When your local Hospital's Security know you by name.

You know your an urban explorer when..

All your pants have at least 5 pockets in them.

The skull on danger signs looks like its smiling at you.

All your shoes have strange grey dust on them.

Your monthly battery bill is over £20.

You see a board on a window and just have to take a second look.

You know you are an urban explorer when:
1. Your local police use special code to say by radio that, you are trespassing. With your name in it.
2. You collect manhole covers, old keys, padlocks, lumps of rock or pieces of metal curved in orginal shapes.
3. You know city sewers better than your house.
4. When going to visit sick friend in hospital you MUST go trough all floors, rooftops, tunnels and ventilation shafts.
5. You don't change burned lightbulbs in your house because exploring in darkness is cool.
6. You are afraid of light, like vampire.
7. You had sex in many neat places, like sewers, rooftops, abandoned factories, utility tunnels, on top of elevator, etc. but never in your bed.
8. Your pet/son/daughter is named after your favourite sewer.
