"You take a step back,you step in your own shit."
U.S. Marine Corps. Colonel Guillermo Rios
There are a lot of people who are stuck in their "glory days", whether it be a homecoming queen who has four children from four different fathers, or the '80's hair-metal jerk-off who still wears spandex ,even though their ass hangs down around the back of their knees, while hanging out on the porch at The 'bow...
When you cease to progress as a person, your life and the experiences therein tend to be somewhat limited,or stagnant. Do you still hang out with your high school or college friends? Or do you wear the same lame clothes you once thought were cool because everyone else had them, too? I hope most people can answer a resounding "NO!!!" to these rhetorical inquiries.
A friend of mine who's had a reasonable, maybe even exceptional amount of success in the entertainment world recently was invited to attend his high school reunion. I asked him why he would ever go back to a place he clearly didn't get much out of, other than OUT OF...
He told me that he once had an actual life before pursuing his "dream" of being an entertainer, and that maybe it would rekindle the flames of creativity to run through the town where he ditched cops, screwed cheerleaders(mostly grudge-fucks) did a TON of drugs, and learned about who he was on so many levels...
I thought that was a pretty good explanation, and told him to let me know how it went upon his return from his formative environment.
And so it continues...
