I was always a "good kid" according to my mother. However, even though I had a job and saved up my money to buy a motorcycle, she didn't want me to buy one. After much whining and complaining, she let me get a 'slower' version of the one I wanted. Anyway, when I reached 18 years old, I began racing. One evening, I crashed while racing, and needed to be gathered up at the hospital along with my equipment. My mother managed to recruit some of my friends to help out. Problem was the race site was 200 miles from where we lived! After that, I never raced so far away from home.
yeah growing up I must have been a Rebel Rouser they put me in Catholic school to straighten me out. ...seemed to be the thing at that school that the students would rob the book store. one would distract the guy behind the counter and the other would grab the cash. ...since I was already a proven thief, having stolen a candy bar at a store and gotten caught, i was easily convinced it was ok to do when someone asked me to help them do it. Obviously got caught... the Principal gave me 5 swats of the razor strap to the palms of my hands. ...then my step dad did the same after he found out. yikes, my hands were useless for awhile. thinking I was 12 years old at the time... stupid kid.
It wasn't supposed to be a beautiful question, but thank you for that. Regrettable my up bringing was completely undisciplined, It would be a tossup as to who was the bigger embarrassment, me to my parents or my parents to me, either way it doesn't matter now. :-)
