when i was 16, i couldn't imagine getting old and settling down. now, 15 years later, i'm looking forward to my wedding in october and starting a family. i'm in school for massage therapy and am ready to make a go at a new career that will allow me to buy a home for my family and provide for them.
don't get me wrong, i'm still gonna backpack, hang w/ my peeps, blaze, and travel. it just seems that as you get older, you come to appreciate the things you rebelled against as a kid.
hell, the surviving members of the sex pistols are signing a multi-million dollar corporate deal soon. if you told johnny rotten twenty years ago that he'd be filing his taxes and investing his money, he'd of spit in your face.
there's a reason people are crazy when they're kids and less so as they age.
