Speak for yourself.
Back when I was 17 I was an extremely focued (as it were) young punk.
Focused on every gal who wore a tight pair of jean(cutoffs), Dodge Dart Swinger 340s, R&R groups or a myriad of other things I thought merited priority over my German Shepard short attention span.
(Could spot any one or combination of those things at a considerable distance too, I'll have you know.)
I'll tell you what I wasn't doing, OK?
I sure in the hell wasn't writing about sociology, psychology, political science or any other matters I knew absolutely nothing about.
Nope, no way.
...I waited until I got older, to do that.
