Life is funny sometimes. I’m not talking side-splitting laughter funny, but it definitely has it’s comedic moments. Let me see if I can explain this a little better.

When I was a kid, I had this vivid idea of what my life would be like when I got older. And it was pretty simple, I wanted to rule the world (cue the sinister music and the evil laugh). As I got older, I realized that my earlier dreams weren’t exactly obtainable (that didn’t stop me from wanting the same thing, though). So I set my sights on more realistic goals. I’m kinda getting off of my original point, but just stay with me. Now here I am, a full grown adult (I got facial hair and everything to prove it), I find myself re-dreaming those childhood dreams. Just not on as large of a scale though. And that kinda humors me. How many of us can say we are doing exactly what we wanted to do when we were kids? How many of us are really happy with the lives we lead? And if we could sit down and talk to the 5th grade versions of ourselves, would they be happy with what we’re doing? To borrow a phrase from the movie Mr. Deeds, “I think if we ran into the 5th grade versions of ourselves, they would beat the crap out of us and put gum in our hair.” And that is SO true! We pose and posture like we’re happy with the crap we have to deal with on a regular basis, but deep down inside, I think the majority of us are a cat’s whisker away from going postal! So here’s what I want everybody who reads this to do (yeah I’m talking about all 5 of you). Make it a point to do the things that YOU want to do. I don’t care what it is. If it makes you truly happy, be like Nike and just do it! Maybe if we all do that, life and the world would be a little better. Now wouldn’t that be funny?
