I like how he says that parents are stupid to hope their child becomes that one in a million that makes it, and then pats himself on the back fir being that one in a million that succeeds with a liberal arts degree.
I dont think i've succeeded yet, success to me is owning a multi-million dollar business, not being an employee.

but regardless, someone with a degree who manages to get some sort of professional type job when they graduate is still infinity more likely to have a decent life compared to your average mini super star or local A rider who thinks hes a pro MX'er lol


i really think its funny how everything ive said is being taken out of context when all i said was that MX was a dumb investment (which it is) as far as a career goes. I never specifically told anyone to quit or not do something lol. But of course, the vitards have to come here and tell me im miserable, blalbla.


MotoGuido, your argument is entirely wrong and you only brought up one concise point about safety. There are way more benefits to playing golf than motocross and if you go back in my posts you can see what i said.

THAT BEING SAID, I DONT PLAY GOLF. IM JUST OBSERVING THINGS IVE WITNESSED GROWING UP.

I'm helping a friend right now that has been an electrical contractor/electrician his whole life.. he's in great shape and busts ass on the job all morning long! Then, after lunch, he always "has to go"... has to go play golf and fuck off is where he has to go!

Last weekend he was working on his second home in Havasu... fricken blue collar loser!

Yeah, it's tough. My high school educated self never has time to take my motorhome and fleet of dirt bikes to the track. Hell, I haven't seen my beach house in months. Thankfully due to all the physical labor and work that the wife and I put into our second jobs (rental properties)that business almost runs itself. That allows me to come to my actual job at a business that I own in a building that I rent to myself. My fingernails and cuticles look a little rough though from hammering out dents, block sanding primer and cleaning spray guns.....sucks to be one of those blue collar losers in a dead end job. My shoes are always dusty too.

I def get a real feeling of self satisfaction when working with my hands that I don't get shuffling papers and driving this PC all day...

Slowly are the days of the craftsmen dwindling in this country. Blue collar workers are the core and heart of most companies and businesses in this country. Hell, they are the heart of this country.

I just graduated into the class of mini moto dad. And yes, We will chase LL. My son is already telling me he wants to one up his pops and get a chanpionship. ;-) I'm sure he will if he really wants to. It's up to him, we have all the resources and knowlege. #whitetrashcoonassredneckcrackermotoxerforlife

Get off it dude, think this has run it's course.

The late 20's are a great time in life. You have just enough information to think you have everything figured out, but but are too consumed with your new found awesomeness to notice others around you pointing fingers and laughing at your dumb ass. LocDawg, one day when you grow up and truly become wise you will realize it takes all types to make the world go 'round. For every roofer that you condescendingly belittle, there is someone out there equally floored that you would be so proud to be a management consultant.

Honestly I now truly feel sorry for you. You haven't figured life out yet. Money doesn't always bring happiness. You find fault in all of us motocross parents, but seems to me it is your parents who dropped the ball?

locdowg, please point out ONE person on this thread that's said sacrificing your home for racing is a smart investment. Why do you feel the need to repeat yourself? Perhaps because you're a dumbass?

It's okay, I won't hold it against you. It's not your fault you were touched or done wrong.
It's okay, denial is one of the stages you're going to experience while going through this. You have obviously been through the anger stage, your posts in this thread just radiate your anger.....it'll subside with time. Now it looks like you are entering the denial stage. This stage can be very crucial for your overall healing. Once you accept what has happened, you will then be ready to move onto the next stage. Don't stray the course, you're going to get through this.......we wont let you fail.

Mark my words, there comes a day a bunch of us are gonna sit down under a shade tree at LL's as we watch our kids playin' in the creek...

And we're gonna have a few beers and laugh about all the crazy-shit we talk about in here.

Mark it.

The Honda Trailer!

DOH!

Gotcha!

Mom, I'm actually considering sending my 40 footer to the SX's as a "Sanctuary" for a group of us to just...have some peace and quite. WiFi, Satellite TV, Really Good coffee and some awesome Breakfast! Yyyyyup!

LocDawg, I know you won't hear me, but listen. As I enter my 50's and I look back on my life, I have come to the conclusion that had I somehow met myself in my 20's, I wouldn't have liked me very much. I was opinionated (still am, but I keep much more to myself and I think I have developed more tolerance for other people's opinions), knew all about business, politics, and how to raise children. Yes, we spent way too much on racing (never mortgaged the house, but strained our business), but those times with my two oldest boys and my husband were, as it turns out, irreplaceable. They ended quickly and firmly.

What you aren't getting is that what people do with their money is their business. You see, raising children has no business plan. There are no ROI formulas. It is life. You do every day what you think is best. Did I make mistakes? Oh, yeah, bunches. But I would challenge you to listen more, shut your mouth more, and observe. And try not to make as many mistakes in regards to child rearing as what you base your view on. But most of all, don't judge what other people are doing too quickly. You don't know their circumstances or their motives.

Such a bad ass flick.

I always wondered why Ringo strained so hard after that shot, lol I would just hit the ground like a sac of taters! Yea, I understand it's just a movie, but you get my drift.

Got to visit Tombstone years back when I lived in Tucson. Was heading out that way to take my practical exaination for my AMT certification. It was pretty sureal walking through the dirt streets and checking out the OK Coral.
