The simple things in life

The simple things in life can bring the greatest joy, a sense of fulfillment in the rat race of the world. Sometimes it can be the satisfaction of unnecessary labor, carving spoons and forks out of tree branches or maybe even putting stone slabs into the earth for a path instead of pouring concrete. But yesterday in particular I had one of the most memorable times in my life... being crazy with a group of friends, with everyone owning the dance floor and waving cheap light sticks around... no dance style judgments just be yourself dancing! :) We didn't need a fancy dance floor, we didn't need fancy food, we didn't need glamour or fancy clothing, we were just there, happy and content with the simplest thing, a good group of friends who shared similar interests. 


     From playing a simple Celtic tune on a funky plastic recorder, to rock hopping down at the creek, or watching a wood pecking boring a hole in a tree,  even the smallest hint of fun can be pleasant.Take for example Sailing, small open sail boats don't go as fast as motorcycle, they can even make some seasick, but when you hear about a recent sailing outing the sailor sounds as if he had the biggest adrenaline rush in the world! Just feeling the boat heel over and pick up speed is very exciting! 


      Don't take the simplest things for granted, because even the smallest things in life can bring the greatest joy!
              Small presents are worth much! If someone gives you a hand made object, even colorful grape vining on a cheap pencil is very special. Your friend might have spent half an hour making something handmade for your enjoyment, and it's presents like these that hold the larger memories. 


     I hope everyone enjoys their day, and pay attention to the fun little things in life!
     Cheers!

A knife in the dark

If you really thought about it, a knife in the dark could mean a lot of things, someone stumbling along a dark alley called "The World" poking at the darkness of reality, or seeing someone else's knife can instigate fear. Its a mystique phrase filled with suspense and hidden danger, just who exactly is carrying this glinting piece of steel? And what kind of thrilling mystery did you take this line from?       A title to anything, a novel, a computer game, an essay must catch the readers eye and bring that eyeball down to the text below. Anything abstract, well worded, brainy, or has hidden meanings causes a person to take interest, or at least stop for a few seconds to read the phrase.To some it could be some kind of elvish dagger held by an unknown elf, and just maybe the text below holds something worthwhile about "Lord of the rings". Or perhaps they are into mystery and goth and they are intrigued.      Of course the point of the ti...

Impromptu story writing

I am sure that a few readers are aware of Toastmasters, people who read part of a story, and make up the rest, spinning a story as they go in front of a group of people with no paper, just sheer words from the brain. It can be a very impressive and amusing performance.       There is another specie of this particular task, known as impromptu story writing, where one takes a single word, phrase, picture or beginning and  writes and finishes it under a time limit.It can be rather grueling depending on the subject or the object of the story.       I have decided to try some impromptu creative writing late at night. I have concluded that the quickest way to come up with some subjects I must add is to start with the season. Here are the subjects that I must base my story off of or at least add.               New Years, Santa Claus, and Christmas tree. Bingo! Now I know a few may not trust my word to stayi...

The weekend

What do most people look forward to in an average day to day life? Some work at least four to five days a week, at a job or school or maybe even their own business ( when you have your own business its twice as hard to only work four days a week and not seven!). For many, the only thing to look forward to is the weekend when perhaps they can get plenty of things done or actually enjoy themselves for once!      There are a few very important days of the working week. Monday is the start of a new week and some people really plow through that day with a yoke. Tuesday isn't as bad knowing that there is a day behind you and now the count is down to three days. Wednesday is so so. But Thursday is the anticipation of Friday which is the anticipation of an unexplored weekend.            And here we are at Friday, perhaps the most exciting day of the week. Friday is the day of "anticipation and hope" that maybe this particular weekend will stand ou...
