We all Know What Number Two Means

Today is April the 29'th 2015. This is post number two. Now we all know what going number two means. So lets not expect too much here.

This morning was pretty much average for me. I woke up 4 to 20 minutes before I had to leave to go to the office (as usual), rushed out the door and made it to work on time.

I logged in and drank my coffee. After  I became adequately caffeinated, I began to daydream.

 

day·dream

ˈdāˌdrēm

 

noun: daydream; plural noun: daydreams; noun: day-dream; plural noun: day-dreams

1. 1.

   a series of pleasant thoughts that distract one's attention from the present.

   	(a) reverie, a trance, (a) fantasy, a vision, fancy, (a) brown study; (You all have no idea how accurate this photo is right now.)

Usually when I'm at work daydreaming, my thoughts are full of exciting new ideas and goals mixed with melancholy sadness of the mundane tasks I had to carefully distribute out through the workday so I didn't get too bored.  Today's thoughts held no exception from the usual!

As I waited patiently between calls and customers. I started to get really excited about the night I had ahead of me as soon as 6 pm came and I got to hit that that clock out button. The only problem was, it was only 10:30 am and I had several hours ahead of me before my shining moment of freedom would come. So I continued to ponder about the evening ahead of me. You see, this evening was going to be full of music and creativity. How can you beat that?!

When you go to a small town, you learn not to expect much. Especially in the music, film, and artist scene. Often people make comments about nothing good ever coming of their town or having nothing to do. But what you don't know about (or maybe you do, in which case, go you!) is that a lot of times, there is a whole underground community and aside from their 40 hour a week jobs, they are working to make a change. This is a community of artists working together to bring art and culture into their small secluded societies and get people together. These are people like me, who know there is more to life than sitting behind a desk doing the same monotonous things day after day with no real mind opening experiences (Maybe one day I'll do good enough to quit my day job and put my town on the map). You see we are the misfits. We are the troubedors, the crazy ones, the dreamers, the ones who see the world with sparkles in their eyes! We are the ones who will change the world! Well lets have a little more coffee first...

Now I am not trying to insult you as readers if you are one of the many Americans who's day consists of waking up to the news, going to work, watching your shows, eating dinner sometime in between, going to bed early, and attending church every Sunday. There is nothing about you that I hate. The point is, I just described my grandma in that description! Get my point?

If this is you, I want to challenge you to wake up and live! Really live! I'm not saying you have to go out and join the Peace Corps, get your first tattoo (Although, if you want to, you rock it grannie!). Just don't be afraid to live your dreams! Go out and take some cooking classes, start dancing, go to shows, work on your drawing, visit the Grand Canyon or leave the country and see how other societies live just to give yourself perspective! Have you learned things lately outside of what they tell you on the news? What if Fox is feeding you lies? Do some reasearch, expand your mind and change the world one smile at a time! What are you waiting for? You know, we only get one shot at this life.

This reminds me of when I was a kid. I would follow my other friends or siblings around saying "Wait for me! Wait for me!" Isn't that similar to the real struggle of chasing your dreams? You may have to chase your dreams and chase your dreams before you actually reach them. But the moment you stop caring what others think and persevere, they will eventually let you catch up to them and the more they let their fears get in the way, you may even surpass them. Start small and achieve mountain moving feats!

Thanks for reading my blog. Please come back soon and I will enchant you with my quirky outlooks on life.

Sincerely,

The Girl With Sparkles in Her Eyes
