Blog Manifesto

Blog Manifesto


This blog is dedicated, as the title would suggest, to the qualities of being young. We are young writers. We are playful and sensitive, fluid and changing. We are unashamed with our art. We wonder at the world, puzzle over the meanings of things and twirl in delight at images and ideas that float by, grabbing at them as they pass. We are curious and constantly inquiring and prying concepts open and taking assumptions apart. We are on the ground, close to the earth. We have bare feet and wiggle our toes into nature. We carry our blankies still and wrap up cozy and comfy with each other and tell ghost stories and shiver at creepy things. We laugh and we cry and we take a lot of naps, drained from our outings and exertions.

We write as gifts to each other, tying them up in ribbon and leaving them around for each other to find, hiding and waiting for the person to wake up and read. Surprise! We weave our stories together to create a bond. One writes, then the other. then another again. We have a shared reality that we have crafted, bit by piece by patch, by string. We write simple, honest authentic things, with our unique voices. You can tell each one of us from the other, without knowing who wrote what. Our voices are clear and gentle and original. We whisper and our personalities roar! Like children, our feelings are strong, our passion for what we write shakes us. We are moved and sometimes left breathless, by our own words or the words of each other. We cannonball into each others spaces. We fall backward into each others writing, like into a pile of leaves or a soft bed. We gobble and grin and ask for more. (footnote kudos to JC)

Then we go to bed, wake up to a new day and do it all over again!

Tits and Ass

We live about an hour and a half outside of Miami.  Our beach we go to is a friendly family one that reflects the local racial makeup of our area which is brown, black and white.  The Canadians love our beach and come in droves, staying at the same inexpensive small hotels and motels and converted apartment buildings year after year.   They put Canadian Flags out front, so you can find them easily.  The locals are grungy, blue collar, working poor and some of them fish for their supper.  Many of the women are well fed on poor diets of pasta and rice and pour out of their bathing suits.  I don't get shy there, it's a relaxed unassuming place.  I giggle at the pasty Midwestern tourist gawking at us and the parrots perched up in the trees above our heads.  Taking pictures to bring home a bit of Florida with them, their pockets holding shells and bits of seaweed and driftwood to set up on the window sill back in Iowa to remind them of the magic of winter barbeques on the sand.

Now South beach is known for its beautiful people.  A totally different vibe.   International jet setters, Rock Stars, washed out Reality stars, Foot ball players on holiday,  Randy aging Lotharios and slick swarthy Mediterraneans speaking Italian, French, Spanish,  gays,  and lots of Urban  dudes and their honey pots mamas and spouting and prancing like roosters on the walk.

Topless is allowed at South Beach,  In some of the private beaches, it might just be required.   My hunnybunny hubby was hoping to catch himself a sight of some free ranging titties but the day was overcast and breezie and everybody was up under the shades sipping drinks so big you could rinse out your socks in them.

We saw what we came to South Beach for.   The odd balls, the people bicycling with snakes, the guy who was plug ugly and dressed in a mini skirt that barely covered his hoo hah and carrying on a loud arguement with himself acting out all the parts.  We saw world class titties and ass and men without their shirts oiled up and bouncy.


And pretty boys.  The valet parkers every block wave you in with a flick of their wrist.   I locked eyes with one perfect creature and he was the prettiest person I had seen in person.  Esquisite ruby lips, natural and full in promise.  He was a walking soft porn movie in three acts.   I wanted to park there and brush his hand passing him a five... slowly, oh so slowly.


Twice around South beach loops watching the people cruise by, to be seen and to watch,  I had enough.  Hubby went over the dunes to see the beach and came back quickly, no titties to be seen. he came back a bit forlorn.  The ocean looks exactly the same as it does near home. Grey, white caps, beige sand.   Tall high rises painted pink and teal and orange and blue.


I dunno.   It's not a married scene, unless you are looking for a threesome.   And the people were not all toned.   There was plenty of imported flab and dimples on butts and droopy overflowing bosoms and Mid West Americans fed on corn and beef and chips..

The beautiful people come out at night.  We were just day tripping.
