My Crime Blurb

No, I'm not talking about real crimes here! The worst thing I ever did on that avenue was get 13 speeding tickets between 16 and 18! Seems I spent at least one week-end per month going to what we affectionately termed "dummy school". Here we learned of the dangers of driving with the help of videos and guest speakers! But what can I say, I had a hot fast car! My first car was a dream of every guy in the school! A 1969 Camaro with a suped up 350 engine, loud muffler, and tunes that rocked! Gee, I wonder if people still say "suped up!". I bought it from my uncle and well, it was just plain used to driving fast!

Seriously though, I have been convicted of some crimes in my lifetime. I'm talking about the crimes people are jealous of me for. Yep! I have a philosophical outlook on life that scares the pants off most people! They can't understand how I can go through adversity and arise a winner. How the most stressful day on earth daunts me not. I figure I work hard for it, so I may as well shout about it!

Here it is - my basic attitude - or if you prefer philosophy of life! It's simple and yet if you look between the lines you find something more than simplistic! Try it - see what happens in your life!
