I’ve considered adding the part where my wife pulled my shorts down to the earth at the playground, Pow! For some reason I wasn’t wearing undies that day, oops! Luckily we had the place to ourselves, mostly. She should be in jail, still. (My book is rated PG so this is under consideration)
My bike was heavy (a Mongoose) and not equipped like the "top dogs" in my little town. I usually finished in the middle to the back of the pack except for my final race. I drew the inside position on the gate and had a plan to beat everyone into the first corner, at least. I got to the first corner even with everyone but my momentum carried me up high. I'm not sure besides everyone who all I wiped out! Lol. I put my head down and pedaled my nuts off! I remember peeking back on the last stretch and I'm all alone, first place! My only first! I'm sure the "top dogs" and their parents wanted to kill me but nobody said anything, probably afraid of my Pops. (Although not in attendance) I retired after that race, on top. (I included this in my book)
I bet you're at a much higher level now than you were when you wrote this. I've heard that there's an early morning teacher in your town these days .
I hope that you will write your book too, @Hanzo. This world needs more lifestyle, Martial Arts, and Mindset books. I always loved the Bernstein Bears.
I have been told to write my story by more than one person. I am not ready to reveal the darkness done to me and by me. The story might be funny or entertaining without those parts but it would be fake as shit because those terrible times made me more than summers playing in the fields at home.
Zimmy, Write your story. Then read it and decide if it would be good without the darkness. If not, you don't have to share it with anyone, but you have it outside of yourself.
