Youth and Stupidity
Keep Out, originally uploaded by hambox.
The planets align strangely this week, align in such a way that I feel maximum embarrassment at my past lives and the things that I did and did not do.
Today, the Nest of Vipers Podcast releases the latest episode titled “Young and Stupid” in which I, among others, recount a story of being (you guessed it) young and stupid. I shan’t recant any elements of the tale I tell in the ‘cast, but I do want to say here: I related a very confused and very short period of my life.
Adding to the hot-faced mishmash, I am continuing to prepare for next week’s Cringe Night, an evening of performers that plan to read excerpts from their own diaries. Oh and yes, I’m one of those performers; oh and yes: some extremely personal “firsts” will be shared with the world.
I am unsure why I am sharing all these small, mildy entertaining closet skeletons with anyone who possesses a set of ears. It might have something to do with testing the boundries of my strange new life — after all, there are no parents to be nervous about shaming — but what I think it boils down to is this: I was asked to do it. And, as some of you may find out, I’m kind of easy.
