Most people that know me would say I have some old man tendencies. I tend to move at a pace that is a little slower than most, it’s not that I’m taking my time it’s just that I move slow lol. But one thing I do pride myself on is taking time to enjoy the small things. We as a society have become so caught up in the grandeur of monumental events, whether they are artificial or not. If it is not the fastest ever or the newest ever then we don’t want it, we don’t even take the time out to make sure if it works... We are truly the Microwave society, we want it now and if not now then right now.
We have gotten to the point where if it isn’t some grand sum of anything then it must not be important. The number of Facebook friends you have or Twitter followers. We throw Birthday Parties at clubs now just so there can be as many people around us as possible. It’s really quite sad when you think about it, why we crave that type of validation. A Facebook friend is not a real friend, a Twitter follower really doesn’t care what you are doing. The people at the club aren’t cheering because they know it’s your birthday, they’re cheering because they passed out free Champagne for the toast... More isn’t always better.
So I take great joy in the small things. I don’t mind sitting in the house and watching a good movie or getting in the car and just driving to collect my thoughts. I don’t need Facebook friends because I have real ones. I’m not interested in Twitter; I have enough people worrying me about what I’m doing as it is. Sure its thing that I would like to do more of, like travel and see the grand sights of the world or taste the cuisines of foreign lands. I’m sure before it’s all said and done I will accomplish all of these things but for now I take the time to enjoy the everyday wonders of life. So give me a hot meal, a cold drink, and a woman that knows what she's doing and I'll be just fine.
