Hi there,

  So, I realize it's been a while since I've blogged on this thing and albeit I realize it is good to keep in touch via this particular form of communication, lately I just haven't been motivated to "blog".  Not motivated until now that is...
  This subject has been stewing in my brain for quite some time.  I haven't talked to anyone about it, mainly because well, on the surface and mainly through many layers it's probably not all that important or interesting...  But then I thought, in words this subject matter might actually look good.
  OK - so we've been having a lot of time off recently and with lack of things to do this stationary time has forced me to do something I've been holding out on for nearly two years; get cable.  I finally took the plunge and while I can't say that it's worth the extra overhead, I definitely can say that I've been listening to a lot less talk radio and staring at my ceiling less, watching cracks grow less, etc.
  Upon my first day of having TV, I stumbled onto a show called The Drs on CBS.  It is a tailor made for morning t.v. show, complete with a fabulously handsome young doctor and two of his colleagues who aren't as good looking, probably to make aforementioned doctor look better...  Anyway, they bring up a variety of topics from sex tips to body posture to whatever...  This one particular show that I was lucky enough to catch was on the topic of what today's teenagers are doing as far as new drugs and ways to ingest them are concerned.  I thought if I was ever out of touch with kids nowadays, this would be the way to get to know them better; through a morning television show, with hosts that could remind one of Jerry Springer dressed in doctor's scrubs...
  Cut to the chase, their first red flag warning was that teens are now snorting alcohol.  Cut to the footage of a young female teen at a party snorting vodka out of an Absolute bottle cap.  It did seem a little odd, but I vividly remember having a party my senior of high school.  In walked this guy whom I vaguely recognized from gym class who must have been a friend of a friend and a year or three older than me.  Word around my parent's house was that he could snort alcohol.  I watched him snort Jager up his nose in my parents kitchen.  So yeah, what else do you have for me Doc?  I've been seeing that shit since 1997...
  But then this is what startled me.  This is what cut to the core.  Female teens (I hope only female teens) are taking their tampons, soaking them in hard alcohol and putting them up their vahoo hoos...  Yeah.  Apparently there are blood vessels and - I hope you catch what I'm throwing here.  To give a visual, the daper young doctor whipped out a box of tampons, dipped one into some Absolute (the liquor of choice, apparently) and demonstrated on a member of the audience.  That's all true, except for the latter action...
  Next new way to party in the 21st century.  The other/ugly doctor pulled out a funnel from under their desk.  No!  You don't say!!  Kids today are funneling beers down a large plastic tube??  Get out...  Well, they do more than that.  The newest thing to do is take that plastic tube and shove it up your ass while pouring alcohol down it.  Apparently there are blood ves- you got the idea...
  These kids today.  They truly know how to party and although I might not participate in these activities next time I crash a high school rager, I will damn well respect their innovation.

Kudos.
