Dateline Nashville:
Times they are a changing. IM now going to sound like my dad. In my day, kids respected adults. They treated their elders with kindness and no back talk. Today is a different story though.
I had to make a dreaded trip to the mall today. Trying my best to miss the skateboarders and break dancers I made it to where I was going without injury. Made the transaction I intended, and stopped for a little mall food snack. I think you can never go wrong with a mall pretzel. made from scratch, hot out of the oven, can't be beat after a day of urban warfare.
I took my prize meal over to a bench to watch the honeys as they walked on bye. I may be old, but I love beautiful things in life. As expected on a Saturday afternoon, the mall traffic was heavy. I suck down my pretzel and was finishing off a bottle of water when this weird looking kid plopped down beside me.
This kid was sporting a multi-colored mohawk hair cut that had to be ten to twelve inches high. And the colors range from bright yellow, green, red and bright blue. He also had black make-up around his eyes for some reason. As water dripped off my chin in amazement as I continue to look at the creature, he suddenly cut his blacken eyes toward me and popped off, "Hey pops, what's wrong with you? Did you never do anything wild in your life?"
I gave the youngster a big old man grin and said, "Well yes, actually, I have. I once got drunk and had sex with a parrot. I was just wondering if you were my son". The kid gave me a hardy smile from feather to feather, and blew snot bubbles as he laugh his tail feathers off. He then looked at me and said, "Nice come back old dude".
It was the first time that I left the mall feeling good about the next bunch to take the wheel when we can no longer drive. I know IM sounding like IM ready for the Old Folks Housing department, but at 50 years of age the youth of America looks at us that way. If we don't have a IPod in our ear or T-shirts with AC/DC on the front, we are considered dinosaurs.
Your as young as you feel people, sports, friends you meet in places like this and a positive outlook will keep you young forever. My ear is pierced, I dig MTV, I surf the Internet and IM starting a Mohawk today. And it's going to be Narlee dude.
Rock on friends, Rock on.
