LOL. Im glad you've embraced your "privilege," Beast.
I wish i could still get into football, for real.

By the way, I'm probably not as young as you think. Just young enough to escape the trappings of Pink Floyd when they were at their height, but old enough to remember rotary dial phones, Joe Satriani when he had hair, and those strange mullet with a bird nest in the front hairstyles that girls actually thought were stylish.

I can honestly say I've never been high in my life. Unless climbing trees counts... But I have to admit, I'd probably have thought the same thing everyone else thought when they looked at me. Actually had one particular drunk guy refer to me as "the hippie" about 13 or 14 years ago. Apparently, he hadn't seen long hair on a dude in a long time, and so it didn't matter that I was dressed the opposite of a hippie. Good times.

I actually hung out with the geeks, or nerds, in high school. A preacher's son, the four of us who knew how to use the teletype to program Basic back in 1974-75 and the #1 and #2 ranked students in the entire school (who married upon graduation). I went "hippy" in college around the same time I got into photojournalism.

So, photojournalism is a gateway drug? Hmmmm…….

I suppose so. It sidelined my first attempt at college, that's for sure. It's hard to make it to classes when you are shooting ACC football, basketball, baseball, swimming, volleyball, soccer, wrestling, and, not to mention, concerts seven days a week.
