Attempted to try and give y'all a visual.

**“Shufflers”** I was quite hesitant whether to do this topic or not because I had other topics I wanted to do such as people stepping on my shoes or people looking at the clock when they have a watch on, but more so, I was frightened that I was going to offend people who partake in these preposterous activities.

Okay, so my first question is what has our world come to today?

It seems like I can’t go anywhere, ANYWHERE without seeing such absurd actions. These actions consist of bizarre dance motions, repetitively moving their feet. Sort of like the backwards running man. This “shuffle” dance just looks and seems so ridiculous, like what are you doing? There’s a time and place for everything but some of these “shufflers” take it to a new level. The mall? Outside the grocery store? Now, people even have public events where they participate in such outrageous activities. To my extensive knowledge, these events are called “raves.” I can rant about “raves” for days, but I don’t want to go off topic.

Did I mention the style? I’m not the one to judge or hate on people attires or interest hence the fact I think everyone is unique but beautiful in his or her own way. But, the thing I don’t understand is growing a mullet. Yes a mullet, but not only that. These “shufflers” bleach that mullet part of their hair and let it grow and stick it through their “snapback” hat. Again, what are you doing dude?

I can rant about these people for a while, but I feel like that’s inappropriate in rude. Bottom line, I just want to go somewhere with my family or friends without seeing such absurd dance movements. It most certainly doesn’t impress me and I don’t even know who would find it attractive. They even have little shuffle “groups” or “gangs” who battle each other. The music is also terrifying and makes me despise it even more, especially since LMFAO’s “Party Rock Anthem” was the most overplayed and number one song on the radio for approximately 23784320 days, which consisted of a “rave/shuffle” song. Probably the most annoying song ever made in the history of music. That’s why I despise radio hits. They always spoil high-quality songs by playing them repetitively. Oh hey, there’s another rant I can go on.

To all you shufflers, calm down and take a deep breathe. Please and thank you.

Oh and another thing, this is off topic, but it’s something I must address. I understand, and you must too based on those love packets that we got, that we can’t control our chemically induced brain of emotions and choose what emotion to feel and when but saying, “Forever Alone” on facebook and twitter makes me want to throw up. All these girls, hence I didn’t use women because they don’t deserve that title, posting forever alone on facebook or even hash tagging #ForeverAlone need to stop. Even boys are starting to pick up on this bizzare trend. (Notice I didn’t use men.) Saying this won’t magically bring you over a beautiful men/women. I understand that we’re teenagers. I understand we’re all “lowkey” or even some of us “highkey” horndogs or hornballs. (Whatever one you tend to prefer) Just chill out and go with the flow. Having a significant other is cool, actually really “cool.” You got to be able to handle yourself before being able to handle someone else. So, please males and females, control your hormones.
