Dennis the Menace is a better analogies. Maybe Calvin, minus the cool-as-fuck stuffed Tiger.
It's a good thing I didn't have any siblings that needed rescuing because I barely managed to rescue myself; actually, God (as I define the term) saved my ass, on a great many occasions. I expected to be dead before I hit 30, and that's how I lived my life. Why I'm not dead is a miracle -- or curse, depending on who you ask.
I could probably say the same thing, minus the nihilism. Fortune favors a fool, is how I always put it. I laugh about my "adventures" now, but some of those near misses still wake me up in the middle of the night. Dunno if I'd credit God, but I DO give thanks to a well honed instinctive sense of "shits going sideways" that I ALWAYS listened to. When those hackles on the back on my neck raised up, it was time to get fucking scarce and I paid attention to that if nothing else...
Thank god I am oblivious to the opinions of others while caught in the blinding splendor of my own cleverness.
