Im getting older.

Im just 17, and I know thats young, but
I can really feel how Im getting older.
I noticed it when I came in to a store to try out
a guitar. There was a little kid there, couldnt have been more than 12, and he sat with a guitar and just looked at it, sort of. When I came close, he immedietly started playing the "one" tapping solo. I thought "Wow he's pretty good for his low age". Later on I noticed that was about the only thing he could play, and I just couldnt stop smiling, because thats exactly what I did when I was a kid.
I trained and trained to be able to play some cool thing, and when some older guy watched I started playing it over and over again. It was very funny.
And a few years ago, it was all about "can you play this
Metallica song? No? You suck!"
I guess me and my friends have matured now.
Now we are struggling towards a common goal, to tribute
to the world of music and leave our mark in history.
Im moved by my own words.

Im sure some of you are waiting to call me "junior", "boy"
, "son", "sport", "kiddo" or something.
If anyone calls me junior I will delete this thread.
Im not kidding.

I know the feeling.

I've been in several long, protracted arguments with kids who just haven't seen very much of the world yet. What's sad is that some don't grow out of it. They have no idea what they're missing.

Ok now "Squirt" is even worse than "junior".
But go ahead, mock the crying child.

No child is crying, but a young man, suddenly aware that he is a child no more...
