Life of the Party - Inspired by family..
Life of the party, yes,, I have always been labeled that, and at times , I consider it a curse? Why because like so many others that can go to parties and just relax and mingle.. Me.. I get the attention or the aggravation to be asked to sing , or dance , or do comedy skits, or tell stories.. Well I must admit I enjoy it, but all the time? It can be cumbersome , bothersome and yes , irritating.. I mean.. I at times just want to chill , be quiet, But if I do that .People ,family wonder whats wrong with him? Really. Its a tough image or perception to keep up.. But I have done it most of the time . But as I get older, the voice gets fatigued, the memory gets cloudy and the bones get sore.. At times , I just want to chill, I mean they are other attention grabbers in the family..But everyone expects me and my co hort so to speak to perform.. Its a tough role or image to maintain,, Perhaps why I don't like family parties anymore,, I know how can the most attentive grabbing person in the world,, with his blogs, posting , and videos clips,, say.. I'm sick and tired of the attention .. Maybe not the attention , but the expectations the family has on me.. Its ok.. Perhaps it another phase or cycle in my life. Mid life crisis modes , or just finally getting pooped out.. Rest .. maybe.. I took a brief one from face book, But it seems I'm back in the mode.. Yes.. I get requests for more video's and Before this week is up I have a couple more dance routines to share ,, But for the most part.. I really want to chill this year.. If that's possible, I mean I;m older , grayer , heavier than years gone by.. It seems it so hard to stay in shape and be at you best ,,, But I do, and I will continue too, and my side kicks you know who you are . Just bear with me.. because I have a lifetime of parties and gatherings with the family.. Its just right now,, it would be nice , not to be expected to perform.. But chances are. I will and chances are I will perform like I usually do,,, Its my curse , I created when i decided to show the family , what I can do,, My fault.. I should of kept in the closet so to speak.. Oh well,,, Life of party.. it has been my deal my whole life.. and I know as long as I live and such.. I will be expected to be the life of the party ..My point . Is this. just once in awhile,, My sidekicks,, take over and be the show.. and just let me be the side kick,, once in awhile?? Just a thought... ? If not,, Its ok,,, because anyone or everyone that knows me.. well.. Swell Mel loves to entertain. even when he's not in the mood.. Its the actors curse.. We aim to please.. But for now,, I'm just saying.. Being the life of the party is what I am.. and whatever issues and such that come with it.. is my doing.. I created this beast and its what the family wants and needs..... Life of the party... yes.. that's me.... or that's Swell Mel.. ah.. to be a Mel.. Male or female.. versions.. Its a hard role to have,, But the family expects the dancing , singing , laughter and smiles that only the Mel's so to speak know how to do.. Life of the party.. yes., That's what being Mel is all about and that's why the family ,, desires the Mel to be back .. ?? LIFE OF THE PARTY.. ??
