Thursday

young, wild, and reckless

or just risky? i was thinking about this today as i gobbled down 354bajillion calories in thanksgiving food. i'm not complaining though. anyway, back to the task at hand. risky vs. reckless. what's the diff? here's what i came up with:

eating fast food is risky. eating fast food every single day is reckless.

facebook pics are risky. halloween facebook pics in your barely-there costume are reckless.

driving without wearing your seatbelt is risky. speeding without wearing your seatbelt is reckless.

risky is saying, "i'm falling in love." reckless is saying, "i'm falling in love, and i don't care if my heart gets broken." those are terribly bitter words to eat.

debit cards are risky. credit cards are reckless.

risky is buying a shirt, wearing it, and trying to return it. reckless is buying a shirt, wearing it, spilling red wine down the front, and trying to return it.

hitting the snooze button once is risky. hitting it four or five times is reckless, and you're probably late by now.

risky is downing a few beers. reckless is downing a few jager bombs.

saying "i love you" to your new boyfriend is risky. saying "i love you" to your new boyfriend after you've had a few drinks is reckless.

risky is having a song as your ringtone. reckless is having "i kissed a girl" as your ringtone.

a leopard-print bra is risky. a leopard-print bra under a white blouse is reckless.

relationships are risky. open relationships are reckless.

sex before marriage is risky. sex before love is reckless.

flirting with a random cute guy at a bar is risky. taking him home with you is reckless.

oh and by the way..

happy thanksgiving!
