Hey guys, hows it going? This might be a bit of a weird one, bear with me. I've been reading Calvin and Hobbes. For those who don't know, they're comics about a six year old boy and his stuffed tiger, Hobbes. They are HILARIOUS. Of course you think, that's not very smart reading. Yes, while I read them for fun, and they're all brought home by my eight year old brother from the library, I actually discovered that there is a lot of satyr in them. Hard to believe, but i was pleasantly surprised, as it allowed me to write about it. They use a lot of veiled critique about how we all rush around and never stop for anything, endlessly working for our own ends. Of course, as a six year old, Calvin lives for fun. He sits in trees and reads books, plays outside or uses his extremely vivid imagination. Basically, he does what i never see anyone else doing anymore: Has fun, appreciates the little things, enjoys nature, even if it is in a slightly sarcastic way. Its nostalgic yet funny at the same time. It reminds me of me. I love being outside, and I ALWAYS try to enjoy the little things, weather I'm at my friend's place playing wiffle ball or just cruising around town on my bike. If there's anything I've learned from the advice old people always give, its enjoy it while it lasts.
