As a son, and the youngest at that, better yet ‘black sheep’ child; who loves tattoos, and sitting back on the porch with a cigar {with or without some ganj}, glass of single malt and my beautiful apparition (solely because I’m still not sure if she’s actually real life) is perfectly content. How do I get that across politely to more traditional parents who expect a different person (I think). That and the fact that I want to just travel and write the rest of my life are the only things I can think about.
