When I went to the Selective Service Office and registered on my eighteenth birthday, I could see the writing on the wall. Literally. A chart showed t...he number of inductions since 1947, the last year there were none. During the Korean conflict, over half a million were inducted one year. The chart showed 82,000 in 1962 with the number rising to an expected 200,000 in 1965. Joe could avoid the draft because his father had power and pull in the government. I couldn’t.I talked to Joe.“Ask not what. “Yes, yes, Robert and I, plenty of it.”“Good, good. I’m just saying if you want to step away it’s fine, you should keep that spirit alive.

I didn’t move, merely sat there and let them hold me until I ran out of tears.Finally I sighed. “I’m such a drama queen.”Alistair. . "I love exhibitionism. I don't care about other people seeing me in my best state! Everyone touches themselves to some degree, or has done it at one point or another! It's human nature, and even the animal kingdom masturbates. I just like it when people watch me." I said excusing myself from the conversation.I left the room and went to my room to find my Apple Ipod Shuffle and came back downstairs to the den away from my brother to just kick my feet up and close my eyes and enjoy some much.
