Leave the Playground Years Behind

The Gators lost this weekend. College losses generally f*ck up my mood in general, so perhaps my viewpoint today is slightly skewed by my foul disposition.

I have a fb friend that enjoys the attention she gets by posting porn-esque pictures of herself as her “profile picture”. It annoys me for many reasons, but there is a feeling of pity for her. Po thang. These picture are symbolic of the “LOOK AT ME!” theme of childhood and adolescence. At some point, we have to leave childish behaviors on the playground and grow up. Sit down some place and get some sense. Other stupid childish things that some adults do-

Ridiculous facebook foolishness: Obviously I am annoyed by attention-seeking childish pictures. Facebook arguments, krazee spellqs uf werdz, and play-by-play updates on the status of your tumultuous relationships are also on my list.

Being nasty, sloppy drunk: Getting a little tossed now and then is one thing, but getting sh*tfaced and subsequently overly emotional, poorly coordinated, and overall stupid is something to leave behind the second you turn 23. I’ll give you until then since you need at least 2 years to grow up after you are legal to drink.

Wearing short shorts. There are few things more crazy than seeing some child’s mama running errands in some itty shorts that look 2 sizes to small. This is made better by seeing her go to the club in a short skirt that is not returning the love. Women eventually have to go through a period of acceptance. Repeat after me: “I am no longer 16. I look like a gotd*mn fool in these shorts”.

Chasing after a man that doesn’t want you: My mama’s friend hid in a bush to see if her good for nothing man was truly going where he said he would be. Ma’am, at 53 years of age? I remember hearing “stay out of the Bushes.” I’m sure this slogan works for this scenario as well.

I could go on, but I won’t.

    “Po thang.” <—LMAO!!! Cuz that's just what I thought when I saw some 21 year old who was in the teeniest shorts that probably used to fit but don't anymore and a super high pair of heels bent over getting her baby out the car seat at Old Navy on Saturday. ANd then once he was out, he nearly ran into traffic while she was tugging and plucking her outfit back into place…

    Anwyay, I agree. With the whole thing…

    It’s one of the first signs of doom for a child’s life. You know, when they almost die because the mama is trying to cover her cheeks…

    It starts to get out of hand when people do not realize that they no longer look good in short shorts. Even the skinniest of women can have the dreaded cellulite lines.
