there are some days, that i drive around my neighboor hood. or like the day i went into my high school to drop something off. and i look at this new crop of .... teenagers. and they look like they know it all. and they feel like they know it all. and they dont know SHIT. but i didnt know that until i got older. and they wont know it, till they get older.

and i just feel really old. sometimes these are the reasons why, all based on personal experience.
