If it was good, they will wonder.š«2019 is the year of SEXY.
No he didnāt spend the night because assholes donāt spend the night. It was 4am and it started to pour rain. I always wonder in this beautiful city of LA filled the millions of stories and a collection of people, why is it Iām the only one whoāll run in the rain? By legend, not only does it rain just once a year, but for the first time in a stretch it fucking poured real water. He snuck out my front door without saying bye and when I heard the door shut that it, that hopeful feeling of being wanted faded. I ran for my light and by the end of that run I knew I had made the most out of what the universe just gave me – with the rain and him. Like the end of the new year, when I know itās over and I wish I could have done it different, itās always devastating, but then my heart speaks to me and tells me to get up and just go.
Up until this month I had numbed out. 2018? Did that happen? I couldnāt bring myself to write or to feel anything for months. I was completely speechless. If you asked me, āWhat do you think, Melanie?ā Iād try to talk and get frustrated as to why I frankly felt dumb. I felt nothing. The only one I could talk to was someone Iāve never met in person, a struggling semi-prostitute in New York City who had been living in her car. Maybe weird, but Iād rather be that- weird.š¤Ŗ
What if you could look back at each year, each non-hit asshole, each sloppy one night stand, and each fuck-up as simply a one hit wonder? How can you make the most out of one hit? š
When you hear a one hit wonder song, you donāt think,
āDam, thatās a one hit wonder. That artist fucked up.ā
Na, you roll your windows down and you fuck wit it. The phrase I learned in 2018 is
āI fuck wit chu.ā
It means that youāre on the same frequency as someone and to put it simply youāre saying āI really fuckin like you.ā
Fuck wit this.šš¾Ru Bradford

One Hit Wonder Track: Mark Morrison, Return of the Mack
If you have momentary success, the only way to make that a hit is you gotta go all the way, you canāt be an
An ish is someone who sucks. They don’t care about anyone else’s time or energy accept for their own. An ish is a maybe, a probably not, a person who chases right when they realize they’re about to lose out. They dispose of others and opportunities often. If youāre going to fuck up, donāt fuck up-ish. If you want to be known for something, know no one remembers an ish. Commit. An ish will have tall-tale stories of the almost. How exciting. We should approach one hits as really good songs. Sometimes you donāt get another chance, but thatās why you have to hit it out of the park when you feel it,Ā that it right in front of you. Always be over-the-fence home run romantic with yourself and everything you do. That saying, āhit it and quit itā doesnāt even make sense. If you quit it, then you never really hit it because you didnāt want it that bad and that just makes you a quitter. A quitter is someone who wanted it-ish.Ā You are what you do.
To the rude boy that fooled me thriceāš¾āš¾š¤š¾, youāre fool-ish and self-ish and shame on me.Ā
If you think about it, each year is a one hit wonder.
It happens and then itās over and then you wonder. As we reach the end of 2018 all Iām wondering about is if I am an ish because nothing really fell through and thatās my fault. Itās now a recorded track no one will ever playback unless I can find a way to remix mashup it with some B.I.G. Love. If music is love, then each year should be looked at as love because you lived and thatās beautiful. Play your jam, no one likes songs about being perfect anyway.
Youāve got one chance to make the best of each day before the year is over and most of us kidz of the The Last Generation will wonder,
āWhat the fuck am I doing with my life?,ā
then get over it until next New Yearās Eve.šIt was all a blur-ish.
When the clock strikes midnight and youāre blitzed by tradition of finding a non-hit to suck face with, how often do you think, āLook what the fuck I did with my life this year? Iām so fucking proud of myself? Fuck yeah 2018?ā Those question marks are there for a reason. This year, donāt just kiss a non-hit, fucking kiss that one-hit! If youāre going to swap spit with a stranger, make it count. Make everything count.
Cheers!š„ You will never get 2018 back. Did you hit it, you know, the ball when it dropped? The real question is, if you hit, how many times? In baseball and hockey the term, āa cup of coffeeā is used to describe a short stint. The players last long enough to sippy-sip on some smooth cold brew, but thereās no refills for them. Did they play game right? Did they not practice enough? Or maybe, just maybe they simply werenāt good enough. Thereās a lot of coffee shops with better coffee. We think of these players as failures, but in reality they won the fucking lottery. How many people can say, āI got paid to play, even if it was just once?ā You’ve lived through the most photogenic apocalyptic year of humanity destructive instagram hoeās and watching your own stories on repeat; how fortuitous. Are you still in the game or did your drip run low?
Iām never good enough. 2018 was the year of āI didnātā and in fact the #trending term was āI canāt evenā¦āĀ In the beginning of the year everyone was dancing to my track and itās not that they got tired of it, I did. I went into the year ready for doors to open. I knocked politely, but thatās just not me – polite. I canāt even begin to describe how polite I was this year⦠My 2018 one-hit would have the lyrics āplease and thank you” and “I’m sorry for doing nothingā⦠Yeah I donāt remember how the rest of how the song goes either.
Chapter – A one night stand = One hit wonder

One Hit Wonder Track: The Temper Trap, Sweet Disposition
In the nick of time, the door that opened just once-ish this year was my vagina.
For men, they probably approach a one night stand like a really good one hit wonder. When it plays, they remember it or her. They might think, āOhhhh yeahhhhh.ā Theyāll look back, remember the beats she moved to, and wonder just long enough until the next track plays.āŖ For women, possibly fortunate, one hits are unforgettable. I donāt care how many women pretend itās just a hook-up, itās not because itās not in a womanās DNA to forget how any man made her feel. There’s no such thing as meaningless sex; even the word meaningless has meaning. Most likely when the song no longer plays on the radio (if that still exists) a women will wonder⦠and if she doesn’t, then she’s officially learned how to be an asshole and congratulations, she’s the fortunate one. Iām learning shitbag 2018 is going to end on a very high note with this asshole of an article.
Although Iāve never had a one night stand, I feel like I did and even thinking about it makes me feel worthless. Yes Iām deathly frightened of STDs, but I just donāt have it in me to not wonder after. It doesn’t turn me on knowing I’d never see someone again. If you are what you do, then allowing someone to use me for just one night or two says too much. I wish I were more selfish that way I could get what I want out of a man and Iām working on it. However, recently what brought me back to feeling shit and got me up running for my light was a man who made me feel like shit and for that Iām grateful. He hit it once-ish and going forward all Iām going to give him is wonder, and he’s lucky to even have that. To spare the details, he made me feel like I wasnāt enough, completely took advantage of me to say the least, had no interest in who I was, never cared to ask about The Last Generation , and in the end after giving more than I have given to anyone in years over the course of a few months I just feel ashamed and I want what I gave back. My ass was his only interest, so here’s my ass, take a look buddy. He might as well as hit it and quit it, he’s what I imagine an asshole one night stand would feel like. To be completely honest, it feels even worse because it wasn’t a one night stand. I was so hard on myself after, I felt like I had hurt myself, like I had destroyed everything I’ve fought so hard for. My girl Stephanie said,
āHave it be a thing you did for you because it felt good for you instead of something you did for him. Overall. Not just the sex but the effort of really opening up to someone over the course of months. You haven’t let anyone in years.ā
It’s true, my intentions were honest and Iām looking for love like everyone else whoās open to it. He just ended up being a cup of coffee, a really good looking cup of coffee. āļøIf I were to have closed my eyes, taken away the shiny mug and the cool digs and then taken a sip, I would have known early on that there wasnāt much quality to the bay area roast.šI thought it was me, that my senses were off, but each time I tried to discover his origins nothing turned up organic. The only conversation that I remember sounded like “ish.” Sometimes you just want a little pep from your cup of coffee, but maybe he was expired.Ā
Sure I’ll wonder about him because that’s what I do, I never forget anyone or anything ever but thank you, next.Ā He is my one hit wonder of 2018. šš¾I doubt I’ll be rollin my windows down to his track, but if it plays on the random I’ll remember that great run I had in the rain and how sometimes it takes an asshole to remind me that I deserve so much moreš§š„. I guess that’s why Taylor Swift will never be a one hit wonder; she dates too many assholes. When you hear a one hit wonder, your reflexes remind you of how you felt the first time you listened to it. Although not easy, if you can find a way to grow from an asshole one night stand then eventually your reflexes will strengthen to a point where you can’t be fucked with again and soon you’ll be ghostwriting for Cardi B!š»
TLGš is myĀ rap song, my album. Be careful with me, it’s not a threat it’s a warning. Iāll keep echoin’ my beats even after one hits.Ā
Iād like to look back at my experience with this person, with this asshole and this year like this one profoundĀ one hit wonder by Eamon. Fuck it, I donāt want him or 2018 back.

One Hit Wonder Track: Eamon, Fuck It
The apocalypse sure is photogenic. When rude boys and canāt even hoeās are tryin to kiss you into 2019, take a photo, post it on yo IG and remember that one time⦠itās the only time youāre gonna get. Plus without a cute pic, eventually they’ll fade into background-ish.
Moral of the Story
Keep expanding. A good one hit is unforgettable and thatās something to be proud of. If it was good, they will wonder.
When it’s fading, get up. Go.Ā Run for your light.
No one remembers an ish.
What goes on instagram is seen.
One night stands are like one hit wonders; something to wonder about for 2 minutes and 3o seconds.
He was just a cup of coffee, that’s it.
You are what you do.
My New Years Resolution
Maybe this is my becoming of a butt girl. I decided that if I was going to film my ass, I had to make sure it made you want to hit it. š
In 2017 I worked on loving myself (not easy), in 2018 I worked on loving others (not easy), and in 2019 I am going to work on MY SEXY (and that’s just not easy either). I am sexy and Iāve tried to get by without playing the game, but I play better than anyone out there. How else did I get you to click on this article? Get ready.
I love you and thanks for making 2018 a hit-ish.
P.S. How do you know theyāre one hits? Always time for a come back.š
UpdateĀ – Ru Bradford
That Rude boy doesn’t even deserve to be called a one hit wonder. Thanks to instagram and friendly lurkersš, I learned he has a full on girlfriend and lied to manipulate and pressure me into having sex with him.Ā He hid photos he was tagged in, but what people old geezers don’t realize is that what’s posted on instagram is seen by everyone and I see everything.šHe slept with me while he was house sitting his girlfriend’s house and watched her dog. It now all makes sense why he left at 4am without saying bye and when I asked him about it he couldn’t even comprehend that in any way that this was wrong. There’s many words for people like him but one word is sociopath. When I confronted him, with a lack of conscience or care of how deeply violated I felt, it fell on deaf ears. Will keep it classy here. I don’t even need to say what he is, ya’ll already know. The hardest part is I’m the one that feels the shame and it breaks me up inside. I’ll be working on this. If the tables were turned on a woman and I was 15 years older than someone and did what he did, I’d be considered a loser. šĀ When I asked him what would he tell his actual real daughter that he actually has if this were to have happened to her he said, “I’d tell her that’s dating.” Well all I can say is, then don’t date a writer.šš¾
Thankfully there are so many other coffee shops.šš¾I’ll take the fresher younger organic brew, please and thank you.š
Love
After 9 years of some of the best conversations I’ve ever had with someone, Allie Krumdawg Millionaire, thank you for always opening your doors, holding me up, and never judging me. I wouldn’t have you any other way. I love you. And that was the best fucking New Years kiss of my life!š
