We're all going through the changes from cradle to grave. It's all about the testosterone levels in your body. It peaks at 19 and then steadily drops off till you're in your 70s.
Scrappah at 20 yrs old: Walking out of a peeler bar one night and a couple of bike type guys with their colors on were walking in. I just couldn't resist making a crack about leather being for fags as they were passing by. LMAO ..... bad idea !
-or-
Passing the cops doing 95 mph in my truck and then trying to outrun them. Duh ... there were only two roads out of town. They were just sitting there patiently waiting for me when i went to make my great escape. I gently pulled over cause i just had to respect that i had been outsmarted by the older guys.
They were really cool about it. A few nights later one of the older guys stopped by work and had a talk with me. He explained that someone would get hurt if i kept doing things that way. That's all it took. When i got to court they even offered to take care of the speeding ticket but i figured that i deserved it. Lesson learned.
Scrappah at 56 years old: Now it's my turn. It's on me to be patient, loving, and tolerant of the younger hands and never forget that i used to be like that too. It's up to me to be at my best .... when they're at their worst.
If i ever live to be 70: It will be my turn to be the cranky old fart whose seed is all dried up. I'll grumble about the state of the world and long for the old days when things made more sense.
