I swear.....

I have many people come through my shop doors during the day, at least on good days. Sometimes it is quiet, so not as many come 'round, but lately it has been busy with foot traffic.

But....I swear......

Usually, folks are reasonably attired, with a few exceptions of course, but for the most part, not too bad.


But.....I swear......

And most times folks are nice....friendly, and offer at least some sort of meaningless conversation. " Hi...how ya doing?".....you know....that sort of thing.


But......I swear....

I gotta say something....I am frightened by some of the 20- 30 year olds that come through. You would be amazed.

But.....I swear.....

Now I have a few guys and some gals too, who are into the black clothes, black eyes, lips...you know. thing, or the totally spiked hair thing, or the punk thing.....and many of them are pretty impressive. They are intelligent, polite for the most part, sometimes full of them selves, but all in all no different than any other 20 or 30 year old kid. they just look funny is all.

But..... I swear....
There is this one element that blows my mind. I have a few guys, and I guess it's their girlfriends that are with them, who are totally off the planet as far as manners, social behavior, modesty, and especially sense is concerned.

Just now, two young "men", or two guys who should be young men, came in here and totally grossed me out. One was hunched over and shuffeled his feet, baggy dirty shorts, untied shoes, and a dirty tee shirt...hair down to his arm pits, oily and dirty....and just completely acted like his brain was firing on three of his 6 cylinders. I was expecting him to start drooling out of the corner of his mouth at any moment.

And his partner came in a few seconds behind him....no more than 26 yrs old, way over weight, no shirt, covered in tatoos that were so unthought out....such a lack of any sort of plan or even conscience thought.....shorter hair....worn out tennis shoes.....and just as brain dead as his partner.

But.....I swear......
I really do wonder what those boys are thinking about. They have absolutely no forward thinking skills at all. I am surprised they find their way home at night. What are they going to be doing in 10 years? My God!

But.....I swear....

and the thing that really gets me is this.....

They have girlfriends!!!

But......I swear....
And ya know what else????

I don't!!!!


And I take showers, AND find my way home at night, and everything! !!!









What does it all mean?


Will I someday roll up to a doctor's office in my wheelchair, and suddenly see one of these guys walking down the hallway in a long white coat covered in stains, with a stethescope around his neck and a damn scapel in his filthy hand....walking towards me with that brainless grin on his face?????




I swear......

The things that go through my mind.......



Stay tuned

I do
