ha i miss ken from boise. he was a crazy chino foreign exchange student at boys state. he always had a ? or 2 for the speakers at Gem Boys State ha and he always started off "hi, im Ken from Boise"(spoked in a silly asian accent ha the best!!)
Let me quote you a story:
"Let me tell you a story. A long time ago, you were a baby. You sat there, looked around, grinned (but didn’t know why), and drooled on whatever object happened to be placed in your inch-long hands. You didn’t care about possessions. You didn’t know about the worries of the world. You loved grinning and drooling. And away you drooled. something changed since then… somewhere along the way, we all learned to be really bad at just loving the present. We weren’t satisfied with drool anymore, we wanted a new MacBook. We weren’t happy with figuring out noises we could make while blowing spit bubbles, we wanted a flat screen TV." --Britton Kowalk
wise man, glad to have met him. sometimes his insights are whimsically insightful. i was meandering on ponders about this certain piece of literature and thought "hmmmm"
sometimes i still drool. . . and grin and dunno why. . .but not nearly enough. sometimes i get jealous at other peoples possessions or talents and abilities. sometimes i think "that is childish timothy dont be childish. . .in that manner. . .better in a drooly grinny manner chief!" sometimes i call myself chief when im musing. not really.
hey you, be happy with what you got. when you're hungry at 930 and you see some beans and rice in the cupboard and know about some ground beef in the fridge and see some enchillada sauce as well and quite by accident find some tomoato leftover and cheese, make a mexican casserole from scratch (mostovly scratched) and itll turn out delicious. oh dont forget to crunch up some fritos and put them in before the enchillada sauce and leave it on low heat so it all kinda makes a casseroleish deal. yum!
or maybe you'll plan on goin on a hike. but make sure you do it cuz you're itching to go hiking! and take pictures so you can look back at them in 35 years (or so) just like when your brother looks at old ones of your paps and he looks like both of you and neither at the same time
small things should make you happy. like baby drool. and umpiring tball. and lotsa rain. and awesome thunder/lightning. and road trips. and planned road trips thatll never happen. and camping that best had happen soon! and family. and sleep. and not sleeping. and having a day with no zits. or a week. or talking to a friend you haven't seen in forever! (hey angie it was good talkin!) or all of your friends preparing for their missions. or listenin to that song you love that you haven't heard forever. or tryin to find that song though you dunno if you still even have it (rats cant find it) or goin to the zoo with your old chums from before your mission (shout out to andy)(even if they dont have an albino porquipine) also quoting funny movies with your friends. or quoting dumb movies. or quoting funny memories. (smiley face) "i'd feel really stupid right now but you have chocolate all over your teeth!"
anyways thanks britton. be satisfied all. you might not have what you want but tough luck cookie, neither do i! ha i cant jump and touch the bar off the diving board at green canyon, but i can do a gainer (usually) you get the picture. peace out homies
