gratuitousness
Let it be known that I am not pro-generalizations. And maybe for every generalization there is a counter generalization that is equally biased and ungrounded. And that’s what I’m about to do here…
they don't even know each other!
What is with boys and gratuitous wrestling? Twice last weekend I found myself embarrassed to be in the company of sweaty grunting modern day cavemen. Once at a friends’ gig and once on the beach at the Lilo party (in broad daylight no less!) skirmishes of 20- / 30-somethings broke out of playfully(?) beating each other up. It’s definitely a boy thing and I definitely don’t get it. And If I’m watching and asking myself “I wonder if he can breathe?” there’s something not quite right. Then again, along the same lines, I don’t get boxing. They don’t even know each other!
it's just what we do
So in counter-generalization, maybe it’s like women and shoe/jewelry shopping depending on preference. No matter how impractical or untimely it it we always [that is a key work in generalizations] “just have to have a quick look”. Even if it’s just a quick sideways glace while keeping pace into work, or the pause – which obviously doesn’t’ technically count – or the grauitous, full-blown, snacks in the purse shopping trip, it’s just part of what we do. We can’t help it and don’t necessarily see anything wrong with it. Boys just need to expend some energy and girls just need to scope out the options. There, flawless generalizations.

New blog!
In case you hadn’t noticed, the old Spicybroccoli Down Under blog is officially broken. Now I know you’re thinking, it’s a simple blog website, how can it be broken? Some things in life just don’t have answers and why I can’t log in anymore to that stupid thing is one of them. As a creative, quick, think-on-my-feet kind of person, it only took me about 3 weeks to start a new one. So voila, here ya go folks – a brand spankin shiny new blog! Start pouring the champers all around…
