Ever get tired of life?
Work, eat and sleep. This is the mantra I have heard all my life. Many times, I find myself repeating this same mantra when asked "how are things going". I kick myself when I catch it afterwards. I think life should be more than the ant. But then again, perhaps I am wrong.
I'm the personality type, I need to work for someone else. Meaning, if I was not married and alone, I could pretty much live in a apartment all my life with no real goals. However, having a wife and children, I push myself to further my career, work two jobs to not only acquire the house we are living in, but working to remove excess debt. In short, making a better living for the family in whole, rather than living day by day.
I see what the t.v. ads push. 40 is the new 20, ect. To me this only tells me people are still getting older, but this generation doesn't want too. You can be 50 and feel like 30 with that new sports car. Oh well. What else do you really expect from a franchise wishing to sale you anything and everything for a profit.
I am glad I chose not to push for the boyscouts in town. I would be the one running the thing. I simply do not have the time for it. In order for me to do something, I would want it done correctly for the maximum benefit. That's just the way it should be. I realize that by not doing something half way, you essentially do not even allow it to get off the ground. However, it seems in this town, if you don't ho the row to the end, it won't get done.
