Still Preoccupied with 1985
As I was sitting here trying to decide what I wanted to write about tonight, a song came on that always makes me bop around in my chair and sing along. 1985 by Bowling for Soup takes me back to a simpler time in life, one where my biggest worry was whether or not I had the latest comic books or the coolest toys. I wasn’t a teenager yet in 1985, but I was getting close.
Life was so much simpler back then, wasn’t it? Back when I was growing up in the 70s and 80s, life just wasn’t as hectic and involved as it is these days. When I look at kids today, I realize how much different the times are, and it just makes me feel old. But, of course, it also excites and stimulates my mind, knowing that I am still around and that I’m involved in helping to shape the “tomorrow” for these kids, at least technologically.
When you think back to your teen years, what do you remember? Do you remember the pimples and frustrations, or do you remember how much simpler and more fun life was? Do you tend to remember those days with a smile on your face, and wish that you could slow down the pace a bit now? Well… why can’t you? Who says you can’t make your life a bit simpler than it is? Why can’t you slow down, and take more time out to just be, instead of running 20000 miles an hour day after day?
Always remember that writing is a great way to relax. Why not attempt to put your thoughts down on paper, or even online? Start your own blog, or grab some space on one of ours on Geeks or Lockergnome. In between writing about your life, make sure you take time to check out what’s going on with others around you.
