Cutting The Social Line; Everyday Excitement and Anticipation

Excitement and anticipation are two emotions which don't get triggered everyday within the human body, and that's really too bad.

What is the drive?  How do the patterns, social and otherwise, impact us along the way.  

1. High School 
2. College 
3. Work 
4. Marriage 
5. Kids           ---Repeat Cycle for your children---^ 
6. Retirement 

For some reason retirement seems to be the pot of gold ironically located at the end of the rainbow (life).  I can equate the "Do what I want, when I want." mindset of retirement......but why wait?  I suppose its more about adjusting both attitude and pride.  

Should I anticipate the end of my life and be excited to finish out my career and "Do exactly what I want?"  Many coworkers keep a running tally of when then can retire.  How many years, months, days, hours, seconds ect.  I suppose it all falls back into a social pattern of what's next.  Some workers don't take their yearly allotted vacation in order to stockpile time to retire early.  You can see their eyes light up with excitement thinking of the possibilities of doing only what they want. 

Change will come, and come without prejudice for your plans people!  Who knows anything???  How long we will have:  Government?  Time? Money? Oil? Freedom? Energy? 

I'm excited and happily anticipating the birth of my first child.  As a male my role is very limited within a pregnancy.  Jenny, my love, is absolutely beautiful, quick witted, strong, open, wonderfully creative woman.  Excitement and anticipation IS the combination of our souls.... two into one. 

Reality Check

Everything around me right now is oil/energy dependent.  This blog has been created by a computer powered by oil somewhere along the line.  The themes of this blog deal with motorsports.  I am most definitely part of the problem.  Eventually I'll have to find a new medium... and I will.  For now, like most spoiled americans, I'll continue to binge drink oil.
