Stay Young

I hate how people seem to think that you can never take a break. That you always have to rush around, doing things as quick as possibly. It just causes stress, and anxiety. Sure, you have to get things done. But it doesn't mean you can't stop to smell the roses every once in a while. I know it's an old line, used a lot, and something people rarely do. But, do you remember, when you were a kid, and you would lay down on the grass, and guess the shapes of the clouds? Or play outside barefoot, just for fun. When was the last time you saw a real starry night, not trying to spot stars through city lights, or if they're out, not even noticing? Sure i'm sixteen, and some people expect me to grow up, to not want to do this kind of stuff anymore, to not want to go trick-or-treating, or break pinatas, or play hide-n-seek. The truth is, just because you grow up, doesn't mean you stop enjoying those things. If you pay close enough attention, a lot of adults are just a more mature version of kids and teens. (Makes sense, because they once were teens and kids themselves) They still enjoy that stuff, it's just that they are older now, some feel like they have to have an excuse to do it, like a little kid in the house. Well, i just wanna say, be a kid while you can. Don't grow up to fast. Enjoy every minute of life.

Idiots on the Road

So i was watching Good Luck Charlie with my little sister earlier. I realized, there are so many idiots on the road that Disney finally had to make an episode about it. The older sister gets a car, and within 5 minutes of having it she wrecks it because she was trying to save a squirrel. Don't get me wrong, i love animals, but you don't park your car in the middle of the road to try and help a poor squirrel get out of some gum. Because either it's gonna get run over or you are. Since I've started driving I have had the joy of getting to know those who drive. The idiots who randomly decide to change lanes, the ones who cut you off, people who slam on their brakes suddenly, and those who give you the middle finger because you are ahead of them in the fast food line. Yes, there are a pleasant group of people out there to get to know.  Watch this video. It's hilarious. We saw it in drivers ed, and I think it's the funniest representation of road rage ever.
