Grey area

The area between black and white isn't blue, its grey. If there's no grey area, black and white will always remain divided, white people will keep giving people the blues, black people will keep getting them. Wouldn't it be nice if nobody got the blues?

The girl kept trying to take more and more of the grey area and replace it with a lot of whining.

Excess

Another kind of excess is if any female a guy could imagine was his girl/wife and that was okay with everybody, she never already had a husband, never would rather be alone than around some ugly creep with a fucked up face, being human like anybody else. That would be a lot like everywhere and everyone being the state of Utah mixed with Las Vegas and Disney World, a neon sewer 24/7, that's the kind of world it would be. Fortunately for everybody else, not everywhere and everyone is the same, and not everywhere and everyone should be the same. Not every town needs a casino or a fantasy and built there. Not every person, place, or idea should be the same.

Not everything, everywhere, or everyone needs to be done to excess.

Alley ally

Somebody who has your back if you get jumped in an alleyway, but doesn't have your back any other time.

Seamus proves to be a good alley ally, the rest of the time he is anti-me.

Good acting

Something a team from LA would do naturally, especially at a time they were more desperate than usual. They know Tampa Bay doesnt have the sizable film/TV/music/media/entertainment industry of LA, so they might think of a team from Tampa Bay as suckers for good acting.

Don't put it past a team from LA to use good acting at opportune times. Especially if they think they're smarter than a team that plays baseball out in the sticks.

Authenticity

The real shit.

Girl-Check out this bottle of sensory deprivation pills, it helps you clear your head when you want to do shit and have a lot on your mind.

Guy-I don't really need that shit, I'm good.

Girl- I am so much more than the product I am selling, I'm the real deal yo, that's why I say shit like that sometimes. And this shit works. I take it too. And my business partner here, he fuck yo mama last night and wake up in the dumpster.

Guy- I know you're trying to sell me authenticity and pills, but really, even if you weren't superficial I wouldn't need it. I really dont need shit from you right now.

Social media

Theres not really anything social about social media, if anything, social media encourages people to be distant from each other and in their own little world/bubble. There are people nowadays who won't do anything in life if theres not a picture or video to post and comment about. They live to be seen on social media, YouTube, or reality TV, where everything is staged. What happened to enjoying what you were doing so much at the time that you didnt think to film it, you already missed your opportunity to film it and it didnt matter, you got to be human for a few minutes, you were as close to who you really were as you get, no image. That must have ended in the 90s with VCR's for some people.

Social media provides the illusion of being part of a large network, meanwhile some people are getting rich via this platform. There was a time before social media where people actually knew each other in real life and had actual life experience with the other person, rather than the virtual image of someone on a computer screen.
