Is it just me?.... (Part 2)

Think I'm saint? Think again....

Before you do so, let me say I ain't perfect, I can be quite stubborn sometimes and insist on my way... For example: Tattoos and Bike license... I'm very against tattoos, 'cause I believe they're taboo! Originated from pagan practices, and its like markings you make on cows... May be pretty but serves no point! The second, I'm not so stiff about it 'cause I know and understand why she wants to learn to ride a bike(Even now I still want to get a bike license one day, 'cause I want my Harley-Davidson V-Rod, which she thinks is ugly!)... Only reason I'm against her getting it now is this: She ain't ready!!!

With what authority you may ask?

Well, with this: I know, ‘cause I wanted the exact same thing like her. I wanted the coveted bike license… Well, fortunately my parents were against the idea, and now looking back on hindsight I’m grateful that they did! You see, after getting my car license, I came to discover how dangerous it is for a biker whenever he/she takes to he roads. There is simple no room for error. You slip, you crash & you get severely injured… And there is so many dangers that she has yet to encounter; blindspots, drowsy drivers, drunks, Indian pedestrians in black jaywalking at 2am (they think that invisibility is a good thing!)… etc… These are the stuff I encountered only through driving! Also, there’s my emotional and recklessness that usually makes me drive out-of-control, speeding and running red-lights etc…. With all these in mind, I told my gal that I’ll be cool with her taking a bike license only after getting her driving license and been driving for a year… Point being that, she’ll be educated on the perils of riding a bike, and with that knowledge better equip her whilst riding… And also for both of us to find out her how temperamental she is while she is driving, as that often translates into how temperamental while riding, which coincidently translates into how ready is she to take up riding…

Reasonable enough? Hope so…
