Well on account of my handle, I have been challenged about just what a real cowboy is. Here is what I believe.
In spite of the origins of the term, what a cowboy is about hasn't a damn thing to do with cows or boys.
The real cowboy was a man with hands like an ape, packed most of what he owned on horseback, and basically worked for keep.
The real cowboy really didn't give a crap what you thought of his appearance. He was an individual who put his ?get-up? together in a way that worked best for him.
The real cowboy squared off against the worst job and got it done. No bitching, no whining and no shirking.
So then, the real cowboy was someone who was modest, honest, and expected no more than a fair shake.
The real cowboy exemplified a way of life that has been diminished by greed, lust and easy living.
Even still, the real cowboy lives in each one of us today. You just have to look past the fancy cars, trophy homes, and high priced toys. He sits on a rock watching the twilight fade over the mountain snowfields and thinks he's the wealthiest SOB that ever drew breath.
Being a cowboy is really about complete dedication to freedom.
Are you a cowboy? I hope so. We need an army of them right now.
