Faking

There are some things you just can’t fake. You can’t fake being a good driver when you are not. That was seen last weekend at a scooter rally I attended. There was one girl that was all flash and no go. Her scooter was nice and she had all the right details to make it stylish but she lacked in riding skills. People around her could hear her pop she clutch and she almost lost is a few times. All whip cream and no fruit.


Then there is surfing, you can have the board and the style and when you get in the water everyone will know you can’t surf if you let go of your board while trying to go under a wave, especially if they get hit with it. So why do people try to fake their way through things?

Maybe we have all seen too many movies where, for the sake of time, the characters take to things much too fast. Sure in a movie where things have to be paced to the audience isn’t bored, and then yes things move much more quickly. For my riding on a scooter I spent many a Sunday afternoon driving around while no one was there to get my skills up and then I did the driver’s test over and over before booking the appointment.

As for my surfing I should be better than I am now, but I don’t push myself. As it was my husband pushed me in the scooter riding and it came to be a chore. Now I haven’t ridden in a while if I go back out in a big group I am okay but not great. Not that I even try to fake that one. I know I can’t be great at everything I do and I just keep trying and going out and enjoying myself.

I have no idea why people fake that they are sick when they are not. I hate that; if you are going to be lazy just say so. There is no need to pretend to be ill when you can jolly well get up and get going. Just another faker I guess, and so silly. Give me a day when I feel good anytime!
