"Lookin' back, I clearly see what it is that's killin' me" - Alter Bridge
It's funny when you look back at your life, what you discover. Some of us went through some big changes in life, and the rest just stayed the same.
But for us blackbirds who had to learn how to fly before anyone else, change is the only constant thing for us.
Most of the people around you grew up in a little cocoon, one that their parents made, not showing them the real world out there. Thus, making them believe each and every word their parents tell them, which is good when you're a little kid, but they'll never think for themselves, they'll never see their parents' mistakes.
And yes, we are ALL human, even your parents have flaws, although you might not see them, little cocoon child, but they are there. Those parents tell their kids to do what they say, not what they do, but they don't realize the colossal mistake they're making when doing this. They don't realize that their kids are going to be EXACTLY like they are, making the exact same mistakes, raising the exact same children, blinding them in the exact same way.
That's way most of the youth go absolute bonkers when hitting college or university. Alcohol, drugs and sex all play a big roll in their lives, because they are searching for themselves. How pathetic... And who's to blame? Not the youth, ladies and gentleman, but their parents. The ones who didn't talk to them about these things, "Because our little daughter will never do such things!". I've got news for you, "dad", sipping your finest wine and thinking your kid is a saint.
Instead of rubbing life under the carpet, teach life to your children. Give them the opportunity to create themselves, instead of spending the rest of their lives "finding" themselves. Open your eyes to reality, open your children's eyes. Let them question everything and come up with their own answers AFTER you taught them the right way of doing things in life. It's your responsibility to raise your kids, they don't raise themselves. And at the end of the day, all their actions can be traced back to their role models, their parents.

Yes, it's true...
Men are savages, or let's rephrase that, if I hurt anyone's feelings, most men are. But underneath the hardcore shell that "most men" carry, there lies nobility. And that statement really includes only a few men...
Think of it as a pyramid, at the bottom, you get all of man, savages. Then, higher up, you get the men with their nobility tucked away under a shell, and then at the top, you get the Noble Savage. The one who knows when to be cruel to be kind, when to love, when to hate, when to wage war, when to live in peace.
This hand full of men have good disguises and you probably know one or two of them, but you don't know that they're the cream of the crop. These guys don't prance around or force themselves on everyone around them. They don't play the sorry ass card and they don't bother you with their issues.
They will always listen and never lie. They will speak their minds and never beg you for something. They will stand their ground and make you work for their attention. They will treat you as you deserve to be treated and they will reward you for valiant efforts.
Do you know a noble savage?

All of us seek something in life, most of us still seek something after we've already got what we've been looking for. Some of us even let go of the thing they love the most and come up with an excuse like,"It's for the best..." just to justify their stupidity.
But let us all face the music, we all want to be happy, we all want to have a good life, we all want to enjoy the people we surround ourselves with, we all want someone to love.
This means that we all want to impress in one way or another, making someone else admire you, and most of the time it happens where two or more are gathered to have a good time! Which means there has to be something to drink, right?
So, here's an idea. Why not impress with the best? Norman Goodfellows offer the finest in wine, whisky and more, thus leaving a long lasting impression with your guests and making them admire you.
Enjoy responsably!
