I swear my mentality shifts to my high school mindset and I revert to my bitter teen self when I have to head back to my mom’s for the holidays. Four days in the small town riddled with too many people who’ve given up has caused me to sit at this blank slate of a document for the past two hours. Annabel’s Youth In Youth was the background noise to my inner thoughts as nothing exited my fingers to the keyboard.

For those born in the late 80’s and early 90’s, I think we’re the “WTF (am I doing with my life?)” generation. Every day on the vast plains of Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr, there are constant complaints of people in their 20’s, myself included. We’re all bitter we never got our letter to Hogwarts, became Pokemon masters or lived the new found “American Dream,” and made it big because of reality TV. The truth is that we were bred with high expectations due to an adolescence filled with the media’s assurance that we’d make it one day. So now we sit in what we deem mediocrity, but what our parents see as a good life. We’re left with this eternal struggle, and at the end of the day feel down and out about being a so called “adult” with not much to show.

As the 218 passed by fallen rocks and homes I could only imagine were inhabited by those far better off than me in the hills of Hollywood, Dowsing’s It’s Still Pretty Terrible played, well at least half of it did. The other half was then enjoyed past 1am with The Hallmark Channel on mute while I questioned my life decisions. My mindset in these listening locations mirrored each half of It’s Still Pretty Terrible. One was me feeling the creativity of being in Hollywood; “I’m gonna make it,” said my heart. The other was me alone with only my thoughts and no cosmic brownies late at night; a time where my brain takes over and tells my heart to give it up.

One of my “talents” is talking really fast like Six from Blossom. With that said, I’m going to go to that place in my mind and let you in on the what’s what of the Dowsing/Parker Split Ep/7”. A pair each, here we go…
