Week 1.5

<p>I've decided to add another purpose to the creation of this blog. I spoke of music. Now I plan to share the songs that I can't stop listening to. This is in hope that at least someone will discover a bit of new music and enjoy it.

Where have the good ol' days gone. Lately I've been thinking about how simple life used to be. I miss the excitement in felt as a kid. The holidays just are not what they used to be. Many would blame it on age and maturity, but I wonder if it's due to the changed world. I don't even feel like today's children get the same experience that I had. Technology has made everything more expensive, complicated and less... I don't know.. Magical. Don't get me wrong. I love technology. Here I sit, Blogging on my brand new Samsung Galaxy SIII all while watching my tv in HD. Ten years ago, I was looking forward to Halloween and my 12th birthday. These days I find myself dreading birthdays and forgetting the holidays are even coming.

I also found myself thinking about how I could all of this into a positive experience. How could I not be such a grinch about my advancing age and my decreasing excitement for the holidays and the little things in life. What I realized is that my focus has been on the wrong things in life. I think we all need to take a step back and really try to slow down and take things one at a time. I've begun to go on long drives with my great friend Monte to see cool places, take pictures and to really just clear our heads of all the mumbo jumbo that daily life keeps throwing at us.

I hope everyone can find a way to clear their head. Or to enjoy life like we did when we were kids. If you've got any great ideas, I'm definitely open to suggestions. Life is tough, but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy ourselves.
