You get older, you retire, and you can tell everyone to [BLEEP] off. 

When I think about being young, I don't want to go back.  Or maybe I should say, yes, getting old sucks, but being young sucks worse.

Thinking about being young again… I would so do high school over.  That is if I knew then what I do now.  I’d probably have to mow more lawns to pay for child support, but, hey!  Whataya gonna do, eh?   Looking back, I was a “player” but as many times I was told I looked like Leo Dicraprio, I should’ve been hitting more than the books.  I remember walking into a crowded restaurant. My look at time time had a group waiting for a table in awe.  They said “is that Leonardo DiCaprio??? I played it all suave like as if I didn’t care.  Maybe I should do my hair like that again?  But I’m rolling with the long hair long beard and [BLEEP] clothes look.  Pocket full of money dressed like a bum, if you will (thanks kid rock)
