@Rick,
That grass will be 3 hairs higher when it gets mowed...next week...But today? right now? today is the first and last day you have.
I saw you posted a pic from the fallen warriors ride and if you're a brother in arms as well as a brother on 2 wheels, then you know that more than most.
When your turn comes for them to pry your angry, gnarled little fists off the handlebars, are you going to remember you kept your lawn manicured real nice or are you going to remember the ride today with another brother, on the back of a prehistoric god, resurrected and carved out of steel and smoke and fire and lightning?
Will everyone around you remark how you never missed a day of work...at the work box....sucking down someone elses idea of living, or will they remember the stories you tell about TODAY, and the smells of everyone else cutting their grass because you chose to take back another little piece of the soul you have to give up every other day?
That Rex in your garage isn't asking to be let out, he isn't wanting to go for a jog, he's angry watching you shuffle from place to place..Every day for him is freedom and the only time he wakes up is when it's time to go piss off the raptors, piss on the cockroaches, and to remind everyone who sees him that life doesn't come from Amazon, it doesn't come in a box, and you can't ever get one second of it back.
Is the house falling down? The bills paid? Family safe? No problems there? Then you have freedom, freedom many don't and never will, freedom you are squandering right now.....
You are among the chosen, the few who can, the men who will.
That long ride? That call that came in from a buddy? That's your life passing you by and that Carnosaur in your garage is shaking it's head. Are you gonna let him do that or are you going to go kick him in the ribs and tell him to roar all he wants because today isn't passing you by anymore....
