The Daily Mess You Suck Verus You Blow Plus Moving Away From Parents

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as…   Is there a difference between judgements?  When you tell someone they suck versus telling them they blow.  Which is worse?  Blow or suck?  Plus…what’s the new average age for kids to fly the nests, to break free of the parents?   I’m Arroe…  I am a daily writer.  A silent wolf.  I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate.  I call it The Daily Mess.  A chronological walk through an everyday world.  Yes, it’s my morning writing.  As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw it to the side and deal with it later.  When a subject arrives, I dig in.  It’s still keeping a journal!  By doing the research the picture becomes clearer.  This is the Daily Mess…

Speaker 1: I am so glad that you are here, whether you're

checking in with Chrome, Spotify, iHeart, or whatever digital platform

is out there. This is arrow.net, A-R-R-O-E.net. This is a

family of podcasts. It's a network for you to choose from,

so you don't have to go from this to that

to that to this, upside down, right side up, arrow.net.

We're trying to make it so much easier for you

to Because I know what our attention span is really like.

A-R-R-O-E dot net. Enjoy your exploration. Hey, it's me, that

question guy. You know, the dude that's always asking questions

because it's so much fun to start researching for answers.

For instance, is there a difference between judgment calls? When

you tell someone they suck versus telling somebody they blow.

Which is worse, blow or suck? Plus, what is the

average age for kids today to fly the nest? You know,

to break free of their parents. My name is Arrow.

I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf. I stand on

the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen, study, then activate.

I happen to call it the daily mess. It is

a chronological walk through an everyday world. It is my

daily writing. As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we

as people tend to throw things to the side because

we think we're going to deal with it later on.

You know how to end that? Jot down a note

for your future self. Trust me, it's going to be fun.

TV's boring, the binge watch sucks, you know how it is.

You're looking for something to do? Research a thought that

entered you. When a subject arrives inside of me, it's

time to dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal,

but by doing the research... The picture is always going

to become clearer. This is the Daily Mess. Is one

better than the other? Telling somebody they suck or saying

you blow? The idea came to me while watching Tracy

Morgan on the TV show The Fallen Rise of Reggie Jenkins. Well,

it doesn't matter what team you're batting for. Both phrases

are equally effective when conveying you suck versus you blow.

You Suck gets to slow dance with multiple layers. It's

a sharp, harsh insult. But if the tones aren't spot on,

You Suck can actually flop right there on its impact. Hmm.

So what's up next? You blow? It means pretty much

the same thing as you suck. The reason why it's

not used today is because it sounds very dated, too

old for daytime use. The oldest of the not-so-kind phrases

is you blow. It first started perking up in our

homes of togetherness because it fits so well with other phrases.

It's no hidden fact how fast languages change in culture.

It was in the late 1980s and 90s that it

loosened up a bit and delivered a jerk type of feeling.

I mean, there's nothing going more south than somebody who

tells you you're a jerk. You suck. Oh my God.

Can you feel it? Well, what happened is, is that

we started to become numb to those descriptions. It almost

feels like we should laugh something like this off when

somebody does say, you suck. It's like, yeah, yeah. I mean,

we even use those words when we're playing digital games.

You suck, dude. And do you really mean it? Probably not.

See what I mean? We've all become numb to it. Hey,

coming up next, what is the new average age for

young adults to fly free from the nest to break

free of their parental figures? Hey, thanks for coming back

to The Daily Mess. What is the new average age

for young adults to fly free of their parental nest?

I mean, to anybody, is this a shock that this

is going on? I mean, there is so much taking

place outside the four walls of our parents' homes. And

it includes, oh, the cost of living in general. Well,

the average age of moving out of the parental home

is about your late 20s. Be it, you know, a

little bit more clear, about 26 to 28. How and why? Well,

because studies show if you leave home between 21 and 25,

there is a huge chance that you're going to be

moving your butt back in. It's a much different story

at 26 because slowing down the process today is housing costs.

So at 26, you're a little bit more situated. Student

loans and career changes are all over the place right now.

Why would you want to take on the world? Look

at what we are doing with wages and how our

careers are not growing. Why would you leave the parental figures?

But whatever happens, this is no longer the Brady Bunch moment.

In fact, I was sitting here thinking, did Greg, Marsha

or Jan ever move out? I mean, every show that

I saw after their seasonal things on national TV, they

were always singing together. They were always in the same house.

But did anybody ever move out? Staying home is an

everybody thing. What if the house is already full, though? Oh, crap.

The next best thing is to move toward friends or

extended family members. Instead of moving home, you can always

get a roommate, which can be worse than living with

your brothers and sisters. If it really gets bad, your

mom and dad are not going to open the door

by saying, voila, come on in. You got to know

that your decision is not a sense of failure. But

you're trying to grow into the image that you foresee.

But it's going to take work. And a big decision

to make is to fly free of the parental nest.

It's going to be tough. You've got to be persistent.

You've got to keep your eye on the time. And

you've got to learn how to work with others through

collaboration in order to work well with the self that

you are. I'm Errol, and that's The Daily Mess.
