i can't tell you how many times my life could have be lost,or could have been seriously maimed or hurt,by the stupid shit i did.
hell when i was a kid maybe 6 or 7, me and my little brother use to go out, take a hammer and smash 22 shells on the front porch with a hammer.
then one day in my mid 30's i just stopped doing stupid shit. well not really, it's more like calculated risks now. things that i know if i'm not real careful i'll get hurt or maybe die.
there's been a couple of times that i've heard that little voice, but it's been in quiet times or in times that things were looking bad.
never heard it during all the crazy stuff, but have always known that someone was watching over me.
why i couldn't tell you, but i know they are.
DANG!You were a mean ass little boy, weren't you?
Glad you're still here with us.
yes, yes i was, well actually i was just full of life. and busting off those 22's me and my little brother thought that was neater than shit.
pop got pissed when he found he didn't have any 22's shells left when he was going to shoot racoons getting into the chickens houses. we toted a hella of ass whoopin for that. me more so than my little brother.
As you should have. Lesson learned, right?
