Beaches??...Bah..don't get me started on beaches...why,back in my day...beaches were a place to be afraid...Jaws had just come out and everyone knew that a shark was out there just waiting to eat them...
...And polution..why,even if you weren't scared of getting eaten by a shark...you couldn't even get to the shore line because you'd step on a broken bottle or a disguarded hypodermic needle...and we liked it that way.
I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.

There is a reason why a midlife crisis exists. Go buy a motorcycle and pick a fight for no reason, relive those golden years.
And just ignore the shame of your kids.

Back in there day that would have been survival of the fittest, now they call it "domestic violence".

Oddly enough I've had my eye on a Harley for a year or so now...picking a fight well be with the Missus when I pull up on it... As for my kids...I think they're the ones trying to ignore me now...it's not easy having a Dad who still acts like he's a teenager at times.

Yea, my dad has a OOP BMW motorcycle.......what is it with middle aged guys and motorcycles
And don't worry they'll grow out of that, I'm beginning to enjoy hanging around with my dad.......going to the beach to observe.......^^....

I keep trying to remember the Van Halen version but it keeps degenerating into the Kris Kross version...

Not sure if most middle aged (wait..am I middle aged...I'll have to check a life expectancy graph...)..are into motorcycles...most seem into sports cars...but they do appeal to me...then again ...I've always loved Motorcycles and ridding,so it's natural that even in middle age (sigh)..I still would.
Not to worried about my kids,my Daughter has reached that age where everything about her parents embareases her...including the fact hat we exist at all...I assume things will remain this way until she finally moves out.. My Son...well ..he's still young enough to think I'm sort of cool most of the time...of course he's a bit of an odd one for his peer group...he hates rap,tends to not follow trends and overall sort of does his own thing.

Oooooh... a younger version of me.....i shall call him 'Mini Me'.
So don't worry he'll be as awesome as me
Well now that is a relife...
Funny story...at least I thought it was..After a recent School Valentines dance my Daughter walked in in a huff being excesively dramatic about how embaressed she was by her Brother,after sitting them both down to figure out what the "disaster" was...I learned that at the dance ,when the DJ asked all the kids what song they wanted him to play..my Son shouted,over all the other kids yelling for various Lady GaGa and Rap songs,..." MOTORHEAD!!!"
...I actually teared up a bit.

How old are they? I'm curious....
My Daughter is almost 12 (though she seems to be labouring under the idea shes 20)
My Son is almost 10.
