Anecdotes from my life - I did not "teen" well edition. · 5:01am Feb 21st, 2020
One night during Christmas Break 1999 when I was staying with my Dad, I was in Mountain View (AR) at their Hardee's/gas station, and I had met these two teen girls about my age, and I got invited to go rent a movie and hang out with them at one of their houses.
We rented "Varsity Blues" and after that was over, out came the Will Smith CD.
That is pretty literally(1) the only "teenish" thing I did growing up.
This is also where I say back in my HS days I had a bunch of books related to history and WWII and I had a copy of "Mein Kampf". I never read it, and ended up giving my entire WWII book collection to an old guy I met through my Dad. He read books on history, westerns, and rolled his own cigarettes.
Which a few years after I met him, the cigarettes killed him.
He was a Cool Old Guy. We probably all meet a few of those as time goes on. He liked his coffee, smokes, reading and shooting the shit.
