Well, there you go folks! Another day, another year, another portion of my cake gone. Hell, It was my 19th Birthday! the big One Nine. In one more year I will have lived for two decades... well, technically when I'm 21, but who's technical nowadays? It's all 'Super Technical' now! Meaning I've been alive for longer than my age suggests because of Leap Years. Only by a handful of days, but yeah... don't ruin my run.
Aaaaanyway! Let's talk about something other than me. As much as you guys find it fascinating. He he he.
One of the best things in the world for me is a well prepared cup of coffee. Sometimes I absolutely love the taste. Coffee has been there through all the good times. I taste coffee and I remember all those nights I stayed up until 6am drawing on my bedroom floor for the sake of it. Or when I woke up early on a Saturday (this being my school years) and went to read by the sunlight in my living room, with a cup of coffee. The first time I every stayed up for 24 hours. The time I found out I could mix it with rum. The time I stayed up for over 50 hours (for the hell of it). It's a class A beverage. And it's obviously not the biggest thing in my life, because YES that would just be sad! Anyway, my point is, it's sometimes the smaller qualities in life that people overlook.
I mean, I just wrote a paragraph on a handful of good memories coffee has been there for. Theres hundreds more! And theres thousands more memories from other things... Most folks take shit for granted. Or they don't take time to appreciate the little things that makes their life 'complete'. Look at your pencils, pens, computer (etc.), when was the last time you really, really did thank the dude/shedude that invented these things. When was the last time you actually thought "Gosh darn! I'm so glad this is here, I can't imagine my life without it." I mean, clearly sometimes you could say that was a problem, say it was an addiction to something... but for inanimate objects (that are not sexually related) it's not a problem to find it hard to imagine a world without them. You can't help it, it's all you've ever known. Blame human '

rogress'. Anyhow... I can quickly turn this into a towering titanic frenzy of my disgust for modern human 'civilization', but this is meant to be a nice journal entry.
All I want you to do, for maybe 30 minutes a week or more--depends how assed you can be--grab a seat, grab a drink and think of all the LITTLE things you really do enjoy and take a moment to appreciate the little bastards. From watching a sunset to the feeling when someone strokes your neck to a song to a nice bottle of rum with your best friend. Appreciate it while you can, cos not all of us can live forever.
