Fun is SO Yesterday

You don’t have a ticket for the Dance yet do ya? I didn’t think so.
Last week my social class had a discussion about the strange twists in “school dance” popularity. It seems that a few years ago LCI held a dance that was shoulder to shoulder with students just lookin' ta party. There were so many people in fact that because of the heat some dancers had to leave the floor so they could catch their breath. "It was like a sauna." Back in the day everyone was into just havin’ a good time. Their class president didn’t have to come on the announcements telling them that if they were unable to sell 100 tickets the dance wasn’t going to happen. They didn’t have to close half the gym to give the illusion that there were more people than there were. What happened to us!? What is the world coming to!? We’ve stumbled upon a time where even Cyndi Lauper is afraid to have fun. Gone are the hippie days of peace and love. The need for social acceptance, it seems, has overtaken our freedom to have a good time.
I noticed what I just hit you in the face with a few years ago (around my introduction to high school drama) and immediately adopted a new philosophy. My own. I decided from then on I would no longer allow my fear of being ridiculed trap me in the “No Fun Zone.” I realized, when an amazing woman by the name of Sharon Peat said “If you’re too cool to do the hokey-pokey then you are just too cool”, I wasn’t being true to myself or the people around me. I was keeping the real Teck sucluded from the words that will never hurt me. (Sticks and stones are quite the opposite.) I was free to do what I wanted to do because I didn’t care anymore! I celebrated and continue to celebrate by doing things most people are shocked by, but we'll get to the celebrations later. Teck's way of life comes very highly recommended from those who have adopted it since the founding. Give it a shot! Come out to the dance on Thursday, February 9th and see what I'm talkin' 'bout. 'Cause being the cool kid in school isn’t going to give you much to talk about.

Put your right hand in…

I’ll think you’re cool.
