Okay, so I really didn't want to start off my 1st blog with anger & complaining, but due to the modern world we live in that's a little hard to do (and to quote the great movie "Network") "I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it any more!
It has been 10 years since those 2 towers fell on 9/11, 10 years since the world was in a state of quasi-happy
normality. During the past decade, the world has come from being reality centered to being overcome with as much fake as it can get it's grubby hands on. Long gone are the days of the long haired grunge rockers Nirvana, our radios are now filled with the likes of Katy Perry, Lady Gaga & more auto-tuning than is needed in any one's lifetime.
On the big screen we have come from seeing the gritty under dog heroes like John McClane ( Die Hard) to larger than life heroes like Capt. Jack Sparrow and Iron Man.
The world has become a "I want it now" society no longer satisfied with the small things in life. Now it's not my place to decide how people think, although that won't stop me from trying, but it is my belief that the word in general just needs to take a big hand full of chill pills and SLOW DOWN.
We are only given a few years on this big blue planet so why waste it rushing around all the time. so do this for me. On the count of three slowly inhale through your nose and blow out of the mouth. Are you ready?

Now doesn't that feel better (stupid question, of course you do). Now get turn off the 24 hr. news, get off the couch and enjoy the day, before your time is up.
I couldn't agree more. We need more simplicity.
