Quite the contrary, actually. I, personally, consider myself very successful and living an interesting life. After being an honor graduate of just about every schooling I've ever taken, military service (to include time in Iraq), being a Free Mason and Shriner, and working full-time as a Paramedic, I still present a very professional, MATURE appearance in my daily life. It just so happens that I enjoy tattoos and piercings. And at no time was I ever desperate for attention or trying to be "different, special or interesting." So watch what ya say; not all of us can be lumped into one big stereotype. And don't worry about us "pulling our heads out later in life"...perhaps you should pull your head out of the '50s!
