You know, I am not a risk taker. I was very wild as a kid growing up, and did some really insane things until I turned 30ish. Now, I am pounding safety and wise decisions into my kids heads.
I look back on a regular basis and wonder how I am alive today. I know a lot of the decisions I made were a process of acting out even though I didn't attribute it properly then.
You and me both! It's my contention though that when you look at how SS acted and did the things he did when he was free (backseat stuff with his girl who became his wife) because he blamed himself, was unsure of his masculinity, sexuality, etc. What he did was to assure himself of those things, he was a real man, not a homosexual, it could be postulated that the motorcycle was an extension of those thoughts and feelings. I don't know the particulars of that accident, maybe he was getting better. Hopefully he wasn't speeding or doing things acrobatically, whatever. He's still dead and I wish Parnell was too
