Life is a great journey and a journey it is at that. Life sure ain't full of sweet tea and barbQ ribs but it's well worth living and learnin.
I've always admired those that can tell it like it is without being an asshole or condescending. Then of course if one needs to be put in there place then such is rectified in my opinion.
As I now head into my middle 40's and realize that I've lived alot of years. Not ready to even say I'm midway. Fuck That...I plan on being around to at leat 100 if not 100+. I'll just be a crotchety old redneck coot is all. Even if I'm confined to a wheel chair?.. as long as I'm still coherent and can enjoy life then I wanna live

Life is too short for bullshit and pettyness. I watched my daddy pass away at the young age of 56 years old from a massive coronary. Daddy was always the type to hold it all in. It was better to just smile and nod and either just take the middle ground or just remain quiet on the issue. He was a quiet man that walked with a big stick. He was slow to anger but once he hit his boiling point get the fuck outta the way.
Now my Ma is quite the opposite. She let's you know her feelings and thoughts. She uses tact and has a candor.
