The Daily Grind

A man wakes up at 6:00 am sharp. He takes his morning shower to rid himself of the grogginess. He sniffs the air; ah... fresh coffee brewing on command. After a nice warm refreshing rinser, the man goes and makes himself a bowl of cereal, complementing his coffee. After he's had his fill of General Mills monopolized cereal and his delicious cup of store-brand coffee, he brushes his teeth and he's on his way to a 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. work shift. Afterwards, the man goes home to his comfort zone. He cracks a brew and sits down to watch some more TV, then shortly after goes to bed. He awakes the next morning to do the same thing again.

What do you see in this picture? You see a man doing pretty typical things that you are probably confused by what I'm getting at. So without further ado... This man leads a very simple and basic life. He does nothing that impacts the things around him. Like this man, most people live in some sort of bubble. Anything outside that bubble is a threat or nuisance. People like to have their schedules planned in a very anal fashion; to such extremes that people actually do have a rendezvous with a specific crapper at precise times of the day. To all you people: relax.

One morning, you're a college undergraduate in the Greek Life, then the next you have three kids and you're wife nags you're ass all the time, yada yada yada... People are in such a rush to do this, or do that. What happened to enjoying the moment we are in now? See the biggest things I want all the anal retentives out there to see is that by limiting your schedule that much, you miss out on the life that's happening around you.

If you can honestly say, "Hey Bizz, my life is great and my redundancies help that." Fine, do it your way. But do not come back to me ten years later saying, "Hey Bizz, you were right; I never took enough time for myself man..." I will not be so in-polite to laugh in front of your face and says, "I told you so.." I'm just going to kick you in the b*lls or m#ff-p@nch you.

People approach life like a robot does. So many uniform, bullshit things that we conform to everyday and lose a little bit of our sanity, dignity, and individuality. I agree, order is needed. But why is everything so complicated. When was the last time that you when outside not because you had free time, but just because it was sunny and beautiful. When you go grocery shopping, change up your coffee just to see what something new tastes like. Broaden your horizon, because in the end you're the one who has to look at it.

This is the Bizz serving up another hot plate of thoughts this beautiful April 22nd, 2010
