Mornings

Ah, the fresh air, the bright sky, the chirping birds, the groggy zombie like humans wandering to their cars while guzzling coffee. *inhales deeply/coughs as a trash truck drives by* Yep, this is a new day, and I could have slept the entire thing away without a second thought.

Being in college and pulling all nighters, I have learned to have mixed emotions about the morning...especially the early variety. Frankly there are many mornings where I hated the fact that the sun was coming back up. I guess I can understand vampires' feelings on that score now. Sometimes, the night is just too short! Especially when you have a 15 page paper due at 9:15 and a class to sit through at 8:00.

But let me get a little more serious now. There is really no better time of day than the early morning. Watching the sun set is amazing, but watching it rise is like watching two kids make a pinky promise. A promise just happened; there's a new day out there, go do something with it! The sad part is that the promise of a new day is that if you don't go to work and spend the day there, you will not be able to pay your bills tomorrow.

And yet, in spite of the sad stuff I just mentioned, the morning is still glorious. People should enjoy it! Look at the sky when you're at a traffic light, I'm sure the person behind you will kindly remind you when the light changes color. Wave at children waiting on the bus, and don't worry about their parents giving you evil looks, they probably just think you're a pedophile. Enjoy those moments, they are fleeting, just like the rest of your life.

Do you feel the pressure to make something of yourself today? No. Me either. Let's go to work everyone! Oh, and good morning.
