Chatting On The Plane, Or, Be Happy With What You Have

Recently I heard two guys chatting on an airplane.
Sitting directly behind me, I learned much about their lives. Both were probably younger than me. Both had a laundry list of possessions, as well as good jobs and other things.

EXAMPLE: "I visited Cape Town recently."
"I live in LA."
"My wife sees nothing but the ocean on her drive to work."
"I'm having a destination wedding."
"I visit Hawaii regularly."
"I just bought a new house in San Antonio."

I was surprised to find at the end that I wasn't really jealous. While possessions are great, I'm not sure if these two giddy co-passengers have lost sight of what's important.
I guess I wasn't jealous because I feel glad to be grateful for what I have, while still working toward the future.

The point: Be grateful for what you have NOW. Do not put all of your energy solely into possessions.

THE END.

It is Day 18 of the Blogathon.

"These Pigs Wanna Blow My House Down, Head Underground, To The Next Town."

Hello:
The lyric above is from Cypress Hill.
More specifically, it is from the song (a 1993 song!) described below.
I was listening to Cypress Hill's "Insane In The Brain" (Watch it here) because it came on the radio, about a couple of days ago.
And, I had a wonder-filled--almost--moment of awe, where I asked, are the kids still listening to this?

(Disclaimer: I am not advocating any disrespect to police officers).

Read the lyrics. They are from Metro Lyrics.

I watched a little bit of Emily Owens, MD.

This is how it worked out: I said I would watch it for silly reasons, and I did.

Keep it simple, please.
The End

Kimbra, I Am Jealous Of Your Bangs

Hello, hello.

Here is a link to a Rolling Stone story about Kimbra. I decided to post it because it is well-written. And I am re-capping some of the people I have talked about.

I blogged about her a few months back.
Kimbra is a chick whose bangs I am jealous of.

THE END
I reckon there oughtta be a big Big Tex thank you to all you folks who've been reading.
