I am too old for this crap, that is for sure... I am in my late 20s and my bro just turned 20. It was one of those times that I thought I would hang with the "kids."
Guess I couldn't hand afterall and truth be known, that will be the last time I hang with them in that manner...
Forgot to put in my original post... in regards to the video taping... I wish I could of had video tape of it. My bro and his freinds didn't think I was going to recover that is how close I was to a wreck... When I parked it, they said I had to be the luckiest guy that night or the best driver they ever seen...
I know I wasn't the best driver that night, so I guess I was extremely lucky...wish I could see it today from an objective perspective, but wouldn't want to duplicate the even for sure.
Being to old for a thing is a double edged sword. You want to be too old for the silly sh*t but young enough to have fun. Sometimes you just have to re-align your idea of fun.
It's important that we as men Grow up, but the key is to not grow old. You see them everywhere, young 30 something men all screwed down by there wives, and Kids, and work, and bills, and career prospects, and the mortgage, and on and on.... They look miserable, sitting in their cars in traffic, so angry that someone wants to get in front of them, so unable to control their own lives and destiny's that the road is where they attempt to exercise some control. The succsessful college grad who is slowly realizing that money really isn't everything, that social status is a lie, and the trappings of status will in the end pin you to the ground. Stranded, stuck in his position by the trophy wife who he doesn't like anymore, and the 2.5 kids he avoids by working late at a job he hates. Poor bastards cannot quit, are not in control of their lives, and are certainly not having any fun...
The key (I THINK) is to learn how to bust out your inner child and have fun while at the same time managing the realities of adult life and the responsibilites you have yourself and those around you. Example? Burn a Bowl and eat a twinky Might be fun, let your inner child get loose for awhile... Burn a bowl ride a Sportbike, inner child is all for it,
but it's at these times that you have to tell him no. There needs to be a defining line between Good fun, exciting fun, dangerous fun, and deadly fun. The first three are all good but you have to shut down your inner child and look around a little when they start suggesting the "deadly fun"....
Blah Blah I am rambling....
