They're Ok, You're not.

Parents teach you how to become an adult (although failed to mention how it is overrated and hard), life lessons (clearly not each one), and intelligent conversations (Yeah, ok).

Parents: When each one gets older (no matter how many years apart they are) the tables turn. What do I mean by this, well...they become your children. Now! Some may doubt or some may see the light and agree, whether you believe or not, I am sure of this theory.

Alone, confused, frightened, empty, fragile, broken are all feelings we experience when some thing or some one is taken from our universe. This universe could consist of earth, a house, a relationship, a state, a country, a mission or a space ship ( for the crazies out in the universe). NO matter the circumstances you miss that person or persons, the universe you knew is turned up side down and your left to figure things out. As we all know it just flat out sucks! We cry, wine (well we drink too), piss, and moan; then you realize 1.) The sucky parts are always worth it, although hard to see but worth it. 2.) You have become a parent to a child (Bless you), a dog (creepy in this scenario) or your actual parents (Mom&Dad combo).

When the fruit of their looms (Kids) go away and start a life of their own, they have to start over as well. But what really hit me is parents "They can do it." and the parents realize their looms (Kids) can do it too. No child wants to think about or believe "Oh yeah! They can get a life now!" I'm sorry false, don't' think so! You and I both know when you get a random call in the middle of the day just to say "HI!" or get a text saying "You smell!" from a parent stop fibbing about you don't light up like a christmas tree. This Girl Does!

Children still nesting with their fruit, loom away!

Good Times... Not a Treasure Hunt

Searching high and low for an "Awesome" time or flipping through your phone trying to find a "Cool" person to hang with for the night, never ends up being a smart move. All it ends up being is you in a bar/house party or a "I'm a going to have the hearing of an 90 year old when I wake tomorrow." club/happening spot with a bunch of losers. When defining losers think of "Hip" people who drink as if 2012 is the high time of prohibition and going to fancy "Adult" places. I hate to burst everyone's reality show hero's but it is not the only way to have fun, going to a "Dive" bar with the saying Snake love Kitty carved into the wall is a bucket load of finely well medicated fun and less diva.

The pump in spot of the night could be a cozy studio apartment with the sounds of the street city life trickling through at a medium volume or a loft apartment with 4 roommates and the daily fueling sounds of quiet conversation, a movie or TV show, laughter, and a microwave.

Last night the kicking club not only had crazy dancing but the banging menu from all over the world. This hot, spicy, sizzlin spot was Otwiera translated from Polish to English is Open Door. A cozy studio apartment that has the best green couch any club hopper can enjoy. The dancing consisted of NSYNC's It's Gonna Be Me, Jordan Knights Give it to You and the latest episodes of Glee, a world class menu (literally) needs to be saved for the next sentence.

A Menu that was provided by Safeway, had every clubber in the spot making their first stop in China with Pot stickers, next traveling quite a ways to Italy for Lasagna, and then stopping in Austria for cakes of the coffee dessert with raspberry filling and the occasionally pit spot to Jamaica for an adult beer beverage. More entertainment was provided when the club closed down and a select few stayed for Blind Fold Hide and Seek (in the dark). One was injured but walked away with everyone else laughing.

When going out on the town drinking with the coolest crowd on the block do you really have a good time? Or is it in the simplest of places, with the cray cray of people laughing till 4 am. Looking high and low for a good time you never find it, these good time are sneaky. Each one creeps up on you and doesn't give you a map, this good time expects you to do nothing. A good time is not a treasure hunt but it is a treasure.
