From "it's Complicated to Awkward., to bazaar."

 

Shakespeare wrote about love not lust: "To be or not to be, that is the question!"

 

However in today’s World we fall in lust and we call it love, we go from infatuation  right to the messing up the sheets. Or even better yet, getting it on in the bathroom of a plane going 500 miles an hour, or even more bazaar, jumping into a taxi and going straight to hotel/motel Holiday Inn, Comfort Inn or worse yet getting freaky  in a  Mazda Miata  driving 100 miles an hour while taking selfies and texting ,or parking  under  the viaduct under an express-way in a bad area of town to score some drugs and get freaky, then you try to figure out why you screw-up when you get caught in a drug bust. Why can't folks  have normal  relationships? We barely know each others name when we jump each others bones. If we even really know each others real name, identity, status, background...Nationality or  real address......etc.

OK, Facebook's profiles can give us lots of information about the person, the day after   we had blind ... mind  blowing sex, and click "like" on their profile  picture  we go right into  changing our status to  ---in a relationship or it's complicated.  Then you  run into each other again and you feel slightly Awkward, or worse yet you  meet at the same place you had sex a few days later because  you receive a text message telling you: "let's  meet again, at our new special place."
But the crazy situation is that who you thought sent the text message, didn't send it... It's her or his significant other. You both are set up, now this is very Awkward.

Now the above  reads like a romance novel of passion, sex, and betrayal.... gone bazaar. But it's not  a novel it's your life. Playing out for a one night roll around in the sheets, fantasy gone crazy, turning into a Nightmare.

A few years ago this would  happen and people weren't able to track each-other using GPS, however today it might just be the new Normal. What has changed is the need for instant gratification, has turned into wild and spontaneous behaviors. The Amazing thing is that sex with strangers happened all the time during the Woodstock era, flower children, tattoos, drugs and freaky behaviors, but without social media. What was the then Normal, were  hip-huggers,  mini-skirts, Tie dye T-shirts with Peace signs . Oooh so history does Echo it's self, today's New  Normal is not new folks .  It's a repeat of past behaviors.

The only difference these days is technology which allows folks to track their significant other and  create complicated situations making them Awkward traceable using social media. Every hippie and flower child from the  1960's are now being duplicated by rappers/hip-hop want-to-be(s) , tattoo wearing, drug using, sex with  anyone and everyone you meet, is the same  irresponsible adolescent type people of back in their parents  day, re-enactment, today. This is a nightmare for those parents who are now thinking that the apples are rolling out into the World after falling not to far from the tree, into the future with the same type of wild behaviors, they indulged the same behaviors in previous century, but now their sons and daughters are living in world  with more dangerous consequences.

You see overdosing teens, are using a new version of the same types of drugs their  parents used in the previous century,  that made them want to jump from tall building thinking they were Spiderman. And Wonder-woman. Those folks  were re-enacting the comic books characters, now today they are re-enacting the video games(created from comic-books scripts). This is what happens when the New century   has the repeat DNA(s) of the previous century. Kids do what their parents or their grand parents  did---- without even knowing that they are behaving the same way, their parents were before they were born. Maybe if parents told their kids "the truth" on how they  screw-up and messed-up..... in their day, then maybe it would not seem so attractive to their kids.... Maybe not! think about it (kids don't want to be like their parents) how often do parents say my son is just like me when their kid screws up. they only say it during proud moments. He graduated from Harvard (just like me) or she has as beautiful voice ( just like I did) etc. So kids gone wild are so not like YOU?
