Frivolity of Youth
Age turns you into an observer...you somehow can absorb so much more then when you were younger.I host people...that is my business....have three houses in a cluster that rent out for short holiday lets...and this weekend there was an end of the season party organized here on the Island.....and that kind of attracts a few hundred young kids to come over for the weekend....so was full house....
Must admit....was a bit tense about it all....kids out to party may be over boisterous sometimes....but this lot turned out to be pretty civilized....so no hassle in general....
As I got my act together this morning...I noticed that they were still filtering in.....at 9.00.a.m....whereby all the neighborhood was actually starting their day....the girls still all dressed up to kill....the guys trying their best to look cool....all pretty much hazed out from an all night of partying.....
And I couldn't help remember the days when I too.....was frivolous enough to spend an entire night frolicking....boozing...and all the other trimmings that go along with partying....
It did leave a ting of sad craving must admit....but then again...guess I had my fair share of that in my time too....
So ultimately....as I keep my eye on them just in case.....btu can't at the same time feel glad....that there is still the possibility for young people....to be frivolous and do things that will disappear from their lives....as soon as life catches up to them.....
Oh for the young man....who is wise enough...to make a fool of himself....

Nowadays I still do stay out very late sometimes, as is the way here in Spain for all ages, but not late enough to see the street cleaners or people having their first coffee of the day, except on special fiesta nights.
