Pleasure - What Is Slick

Digital Crate Digging Continues on what I call Terrible / Terrific Tuesday..

It's been up and down / good and bad, but it's been a blessing to see this day...

It's going down, I see how we play; some are even stressing how we play, check out what we do to ourselves..

What are we trying to prove to ourselves? I'm  reflecting / contemplating / collecting scattered thoughts plus pulling funk off of shelves...

Go on with your bad selves some are encouraged!! some are even asking What Is Hip like Tower of Power..

Some are discouraged they're even asking What Is Slick like Pleasure!! in pursuit of the treasure / power?
