KID, YOU'LL MOVE MOUNTAINS


Today I feel a little silly. I hope you know what the picture is from...if you don't please ask your local librarian about Dr. Seuss and scold your Mother for not bringing you up properly.

Oh the Places You'll Go is something everyone should have at least read before, but it describes my joy and jubilation today pretty well.

"Congratulations!Today is your day.You're off to Great Places!You're off and away!You have brains in your head.You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go. "

I love that some of the most profound things in life are the simplest...kid stuff and the simple pleasures. Sure in a big city like Los Angeles there is always something to keep you busy, but are those things really necessary? What about the simple joys of a sunset, a cool breeze, a smile, good friends or a silly poem?

or a nice pair of feet. (j/k) Hey did you catch Family Guy this week? That episode was the funniest I have ever seen. It seems you are doing well. What is funny is when they interveid Kurdt Kobain about why he thought Nirvana was so sucesfull he said "Our songs are so simple that they remind you of kid's songs like when you were growing up the ones that you can still remember to this day." This is true you always remember the simplist things that is why if you keep it simple (wonder where I have heard that before) things tend to work out better. That is why my vote is for simplicity. Hope all is well.

Peace,
Ricky.
