Missing the Simple Days...

Remember (well some of you at least), when you were a little kid and used to BEG your parents to be able to hang outside & play until the sun went down just because you didn't wanna get stuck in doors?...or when you just wanted to meet up with your friends to catch a movie and then hang out and had a specific time where you would get picked up by your parents or guardian, you had to memorize your friends phone numbers and if someone couldn't be reached you'd get a busy signal and then kept moving in your life? You didn't CONSTANTLY feel like you had to be connected to the world, you didn't panic unless you left your wallet w/ your money somewhere?

I am seriously missing those days where we'd sit back in a huge grassy field and kick it, make jokes, blow bubbles with our mouths & just be KIDS! Maybe the corporate world is finally starting to kick my a**...but whatever it is, I am seriously on the verge of loosing my sh** and I mean it this time. I need to re-evaluate this thing called LIFE.

I am starting to realize how much TV I do NOT want to watch and how little creative, witty, funny, entertaining programs there are for us to pick from. That goes for summer time movies too. There have been WAY too many over-produced films that cost millions of $$$ to make that were pure crap that ended up going straight to DVD.

Do you remember the last time you were actually PATIENTLY waiting for something, anything? I can hardly remember how that felt. I find myself feeling like the world is going to end if the page I'm looking up on the internet doesn't pop up fast enough...I want my text messages to go through when I send them double the speed it normally takes them. But seriously...for what? Why am I trying so hard to get something done so quickly? What's the rush? Sometimes I have a good reason, but most of the time, it's just because I really feel like there is a need for a speedy process for things to get done in life. Which is actually the OPPOSITE of how anything in life gets done. Nothing is fast, it's like an optical illusion that we've tricked ourselves into thinking needs to be "the way"...so I'm going to take a chill pill for awhile and let the old times roll, turn off my cell, write more on paper and less on the computer and re-learn what the real "speed" of humans feels like and IS. Not technology. We'll see how this goes. Maybe I'll even loose my road rage!.........big "maybe" on that one.
