Bedtime Holiday Teens & Young Adult

The key is in the coming down.

From the high.

From the low.


The bottom line is the stamina factor.

Have you “got” what it “takes”.

Visuals.

Auditories.

Touchy feely

Tastey, Delicious

Smelly or Stinky

It all matters.


Depending on where it matters.

Depending on who it matters to.

Depending on what the matter is.

Depending on when it happened.

Depending on why it happened.

Depending on how it happened.


Holidays have a way of bringing out the best and the worst in us. Of our behavior. Our hopes. Our dreams. Our intentions for the new year.


The rest of the juggle trouble is saved for the remainder of the 363 days we are here, there and everywhere. Documenting, posting roasting and toasting. Life’s events. Life’s happenings.


The desire to be liked is spiked with good intentions.


Some days high. Some days low. Some days rye. Some days toast.

You are toasted, I am toasted, hey we are all toasted.


By ourselves.


One way or another. The goal being to be on the front page. Of anything. Doesn’t matter. Stay relevant. Stay hot. Staying cool is so not hot. The terms have become jaded, jumbled, mumbled and confused along with the intent.


Yes. And. No.


To be resolute is to be resolute. Unafraid. Mis-fitty. Determined. To stay Unafraid. Mis-fitty. Determined. The resolute list well, is just a list. Bought. Sold. Receipt. Repeat.


Have another to keep the well and the well spring flowing. It has been documented somewhere: “Save Water Drink Beer”. At the bars. At the frat houses. At the sororities. At the so called “GDI’s” God da** independents. The so called “free thinkers”.


And the clear selzers are a flowing. Too soon to me, may I add. To the list. Of resolutions. To be made. And broken.


Bad attitude me. Or bad attitude you. Drink a few and we shall see who blows up first.


That is the point.

That is the problem.

That is the wish list of

Hope and Change.

That shoulda, woulda, coulda been done right.

As in correctly.


Except the message was unclear, blown to smithereens and shattered. Mostly because the average person believes in helping their fellow man. Not too difficult to explain. To see.


To not be the dope that people think you are.That people think they crave. And then deliver the goods. To boot.


The enemy of this: The secret.


The insidious, manipulative, opportunistic, advantageous secret.


Blows the resolute list to smithereens.

Why bother.
