I'm 36, I like to kid myself that I'm not that old.

I remember being 18 and thinking 30 yr. olds were "mature" and "cool".

When the fuck did 8-10 yr. old's completely skip the puberty mark and jump to violent offender's? I had the same teacher for 3rd. and 4th. grade and he hit me with a paddle that had hole's drilled in it to "reduce" drag as it sailed to my ass.

Nature vs. nuture; who the hell could make heads or tails of it given how fast things change and develop these days? I'm a child of the 80's (gratefully I'm blessed to remember most of the 70's too), and I just can't fathom how fast things and following generation's have matured.

Just call me
