HiΒ [FIRST NAME GOES HERE],
People sometimes say to me, βYou know, youβre a little snarky.β To which I say, βShut up!β, or βWho asked you?, or βSays who?β
But after I say that, I say, βThanks.β
Why? Donβt be a dope. You think this comes easy? Okay actually, it does come pretty easy. I mean, living in the Wonder-Hood will make anybody a little ill tempered.
Or mad. Thereβs a lot of mad going on around here.
Anyway, I wasnβt always the effusive, outgoing bon vivant you know and love. Okay, I was, but what kind of half interesting story doesn’t have the hero making a journey to overcome insurmountable odds in order to become the heroic hero theyβre suppose to become?
Look, donβt expect the Iliad or anything, but things really started to look up when I discoveredΒ H.A.R.E. Yep βHaving Attitude Requires Exerciseβ was a real game changer for me. Well, not a gamer changer so much as a place to get together with like minded folk and see who we can make cry.
The conventions are awesome.

H.A.R.E.Β Our motto is, βIf you donβt have anything nice to say about someone, come over here and sit by me.βΒ *
And this is important why? Because there isΒ a very important Tea PartyΒ in your future, and I donβt want you to embarrass yourself.
At least donβt cry. Please, promise me no crying, cuz when the crying starts, everyone piles on and itβs not pretty. Unless youβre at one of our conventions, then that’s called the opening night cocktail party.
So, now you see Iβm just doing this for your own good, right? To toughen you up. Get your game face on, or at least not have you weeping at the first eye roll thatβs shot your way.

Or thereβs the βmadβ thing. You can go with that, but really, how many, Β “Clean cup, clean cup! Move down!“, or “Have I gone mad?” or “What is the hatter with me?” can you have blabbering around a hot pot of tea? Itβs too much and not enough I tell you!
Crap, now you got me doing it!
So toughen up already. Iβm taking a chance taking you on this tour and I donβt want you embarrassing me!
Please stop crying.
Fine. Then yell βWeβre all mad here!β at the top of your lungs.
LOUDER. I canβt HEAR you.
Pitiful. Thereβs aΒ H.A.R.E.Β meeting next week. Be there. You need the practice.

Dude, are we going to a party? Whatβs in it for me?
LOUDER. I canβt HEAR you!
Bottomline it for me
- H.A.R.E. You think youβve got the right stuff?
- Snarky!? Shut up, uh thanks!
- If you donβt have anything nice to sayβ¦ you got potential.
- Whimpering is still crying.
- LOUDER. I canβt HEAR you.
Thatβs it. Iβm not gonna get all mushy (yeah, like thatβs gonna happen).
See yaβ ~ Kevin
