Issue No. 20 of MASCULAR Magazine was dedicated to PARTY. These last few years have been fueled by political activity, often with unpredictable or disappointing results. Promises, accusations, fights, and name-calling all followed the second martini or were displayed on TV for all to watch. And yes, there were tears, laughter, shouts, and hurrahs. But after the big event, many are left asking themselves “why do I do it?” These events are simply a part of human intercourse. They take a lot of energy, move at their own pace, and sometimes end in inconclusive ways. Hopes, fears, and dreams are played out on a stage, and there are lead actors, supporting roles, and an audience. Views are emboldened or changed. In the throes of the moment, we all feel very alive and very much “in the now”, but these moments often fade into memory the next time, inevitably, there is an event.
