Why didn't I see this happening until now?

There are times in life where you have an awakening. Today was one of them. I've been going through a rough time lately (hence the lack of blog posts). I sat down today and asked myself, "what happened to the fun in my life?" And I'd give anything to have fun again. So I sat, I thought, and realized that I have let all the bad things in my life consume my whole being. Sometimes when you grow up and focus on the adult things you miss out on the opportunities of going out and enjoying life. I don't like taking a magnifying glass to the thoughts of me still being jobless, not having many friends here where I live (most of them are at college still), and the thought of being stuck at home doing nothing almost everyday.  I want to awaken the inner child in me, go out with the friends I do have around, and just have fun. Of course I need help in this task. I can invite people all the time to go out to eat or to have fun. But it does me no good when people reject my invitations. I think most people in these bad economic times have lost sight of important things. Like going out and enjoying the company of others. I'm not saying we need to lose sight of the serious things going on in life, like paying bills, rent, doing well in our jobs. I'm just saying we all need to set some time aside to enjoy the things in life. Whether it be family, friends, doing certain activities. Anything will do. Just don't come home from work (if you have a job) and sit on your butt watching TV, playing video games, going to sleep, etc. Also eliminate the non important things that bring you down. Eliminate your contact with negative people, you don't need them to bring you down. Just my thoughts for the day. 

This song is one of my favorites these days. It's a great song that starts off kinda weird (church organs), then goes into a great beat, then ends on a very beautiful note (almost like a orchestra).
