theres something ive been noticing recently, no its not that the canes are dying, which they are, its about two guys meeting for the first time. when a guy meets another guy for the first time, do you say hey or shake hands? older guys always shake hands and younger guys never do. its like its taboo or something. i know when a younger guy meets an older guy they shake hands but thats just cuz one guy is older and one is younger. i mean, if it does deal with age, is it a big deal? is this like the time when a boy becomes a man?? is it when he suddenly has the urge to take his hand out of his pocket and shake with the guy? is this how you know you're an adult? it could mean a variety of things. so many questions associated with such a simple gesture. whats the transition like? i mean is it instantaneous? do you just get up one day and shake hands? is it a process where there is an uncomfortable transition phase when put your hand up, pause, fake and then decide whether to go or not? if this is really the transition into manhood is there a way to prevent it? could you be more fun if you refuse to shake hands? like staying a kid... do guys become boring adults when they start? its really actually in reality a complicated issue. so think the next time you shake a guys hand, or not, what the consequences of this might be...
