Back around

I keep thinking about my first girlfriend, the one who taught me how to kiss properly. She is on my facebook page and is in a happy relationship. I am happy for her. She was a nice person back in junior high and I have no doubt that she carries those same good qualities with her today wherever she goes. Funny how life brings people back around.

There is absolutely no reason to deny yourself the things that you desire. Follow a step by step plan to achieve your goals. But the most important thing to remember is that it all takes time. There is no rush. Enjoy the ride along the way. Make new friends. Go out and see the world around you. Make the entire process enjoyable for yourself and those nearest to you.

There are many types of friends. There are fair-weather friends who only seem to call when things are going right for you. There are friends who only call when they need something. And there are true friends who never want a thing from you. Sure there are more kinds of friends, but these three are what we humans come across most in our lives. It's a juggling act to keep our lives together because sometimes we don't really know who are true friends really are.

Every television show, well, most television shows, begin each episode with a murder. This leads to a desensitization of the murder process... if you can call it that. There is a murder, a process by which the murder is solved, and then resolution of the case. There is blood, there is destruction, and families are broken apart. Why does murder sell? What sells the programs that sell murder? Pharmaceutical medication.

I know

There comes a point in all our lives where we must admit to ourselves that we don't really know anything. In order to know something, we must first be able to prove it. Oh sure we all know a few things here and there. But for the most part, when looking at the bigger picture, it is very true that we don't really know all that much; especially when one takes into account all the video games, movies, and television shows we watch. Nothing could be a bigger waste of time or more of a distraction.

The older I get the more I appreciate sleep. When I was a young man, I could go days without sleep. I just left myself in party-mode all the time. When I crashed out I crashed out for an entire 24 hour period. Then, once I recovered, which was a very short time, I began the process all over again with the same group of guys. I wasted a lot of time in those days and took chances I shouldn't have taken. But through it all I am glad I lived on the edge the way I did. I took no pictures. I lived it man.

If everyday seems like the same as the one before, it probably is. That said, there needs to be variety in all our lives. We must make it, from time to time, out of our comfort zone. This is where we get to experience new things, new ideas, and new perspectives. It is from such places that the drag of everyday life does not bring us down. In fact, there is no drag in a life that only feels comfortable when doing new and interesting things.
