WHAT'S RIGHT WITH THE WORLD

A MAJOR REASON TO HAVE A WEB PAGE IS TO EXPRESS ONE'S OPINIONS. SO, HERE GOES...

Good Stuff

COFFEE: civilization would not exist without it. I would not be a human being without the Holy Bean. Drink of the Gods, good for us godly, non-godly, and un-godly mortals, too.

WORK: satisfying, challenging, personal growth inducing

FRIENDS: same as above, for different reasons

FRESH AIR: needs no explanation

GOOD MUSIC: as in, modern rock

WALKMAN: yes, you can take it with you

PRIVACY: people minding their own damn business

SILENCE: related to above notion, not opposing the two former listings above that one. People who talk only when they have something to say.

RESPECT: listening skills. Not agressively pushing opinions, beliefs, advice, on other people. The "my way, belief, religion, etc. is the only true, correct, blah, blah, blah, way" mode of thinking.

LOVE: one of the greatest forces.

THINKING: the other one. Most don't do it enough. Especially as in, thinking for one's self.

GOOD CONVERSATION: thought-provoking, relationship enhancing.

COFFEE AND CONVERSATION WITH A FRIEND: the ultimate good thing.
