I felt like a kid today, it was wonderful. First i wake up to snow, the first snow outside of the home i grew up in. I felt different just seeing it. no time to think though, i was off to my favorite class featuring the one and only Frank Farrell. The man is terrific take a class if you can by him. Any way after seeing the snow, and "softshoeing" through the ice and slush, dancing around feelin lilke a kid, i came back and watched none other than the Charlie and the Chocalate factory, the movie that makes you wanna stay a kid. What else was great i was sipping on hot cocoa all day, which made me more nostalgic than ever. God, even though at the time i hated being a kid, i miss it now, i wish i could go back. I spent most of my time waiting to grow up that i didn't get to gather enough child hood memories to put me foward in life. But thats ok, having that childlike fantasy is the way to be happy. Old people arn't happy, theyve been so set in tehre ways theres no time for fun in their lives. Being young, not knowing any better, or if you do (which most of us kids did) we did it anyway. There were no cares or worries. No worrying on getting a degree, picking a career, getting on with your life. Screw that, i wanna be young again; play in the snow, have waterbaloon fights, beach football. All of those fun little things which are a hell of a lot funner than what im doing now. Smoking pot daily, drinking, (although the wine funnels are superb). Maybe its not just me, maybe thats why people love the Movie rendition of Roald Dahls story of a childhood fantasy, they just don't know their inner child is in there, screaming to come out. I always tell the younger folks i meet now, never wanna grow up. Stay young and pure and giddy. You will never have that fun again in your life, it doesn't matter if you can't drive, driving is for grown ups. I hate driving, i just want a powerwheels damn it.
I don't know i guess my point is in this nonsensical rambling childhood nonsense is, stop worrying about growing up people, You have plenty of time to be old when you are old. This is your last bastion of fun in your lives, try to live life instead of it passing you by. You'll appreciate it later. That doesn't mean just drugs and alchohol, do some positive fun things, football with friends. Explore some woods. Go swimming in a lake, go cliff diving. Just have some fun in life, no matter how riduclas it seems.Because if it seems ridiclas now, just think how ridiculas these things will be when your 40, and you physically won't be able to do them.
