I just picked a piece of asphalt out of my cheek.

24 years old asphalt .
That crap has been in my face for 24 years and I didn't know it.
I wrecked my skateboard on Dogwood Trail's largest hill my 8th grade year of middle school. The skateboard which I was on was not set up correctly for speed and about halfway down a speed wobble threw me off balance, I then hit a stone which in turn sent me face first into the blacktop and skidding into the creek at the bottom of the hill.
The scars were all over my face. When I get hot or excited, you can still see where my red face does not match up with the rest of it. I took off a large section of the my upper lip, above the right eye and most of my chin. For years, I would occasionally feel some coming out of my upper lip.
Now apparently, I have to worry about it still in my cheek.
