TIME for a change

Waking up to sunrise seems to make the day perfect. After spending a week in Mexico, and not waking up to an alarm clock, or having to hurry to get somewhere, I realized that American Society puts way too much of an emphasis on time.

The organization of today’s society is counted down to the last minute: never be late, always be on time, do this and that, have to be here at noon, I’m in a rush/hurry. These are things all of us here on a daily basis, if not do ourselves. This lifestyle is high stressed yet very productive. But is it all really necessary?

I understand that the demands of today are high, and that time here really is money, but if we just sit back and think about the more important things in life: happiness, relationships, experiences: does time really need to be planned out for these things?

Can’t happiness come from watching a child laugh? that takes approximately 2 seconds, yet we can’t even stop to listen. Can’t we build relationships with people by asking how they are, or smiling at them? yet most of us can’t even find time to smile. My experience in Mexico had a huge impact on my life, it made me forget about all the little things in life that make me think negative, and put my priorities in order. In Mexico when I was signing with deaf children, and hearing of struggles that they’ve had, it made me realize that we Americans take way too many things for granted and put way too much emphasis on something that we have no control over. If we can’t control time, why bother basing everything around it? I think American Society needs to sit back and relax, and take the time that is so precious to them: and do something more with it than just count it down until the next task that needs to be done. One-way to improve this: American siestas.

So Hot :)

Amazing is all I could think when he walked into my room, having to duck just to get inside. 6 feet 11 inches tall, my neck hurt after just 3 seconds of looking at him. I didn't mind, I actually kind of liked it, and that's why I think that tall guys are also the sexiest. My friend however disagrees.
Sexy to me deals with mostly physical appearance, such as defiant features, long strong legs, nice tone, and a good ass. However, looks aren't the only thing that I find sexy in taller men. Of all the guys I have dated, I find that the taller ones seem softer spoken, they usually only say things that are worth hearing and intelligent, and intelligence to me is also sexy. ( I undeserved that not all tall guys are smart, but I am basing this on my own experience only) I think taller men carry themselves differently too: more confidently, confidence to me is sexy. So as I was telling this to my friend she randomly rolled her eyes, saying that shorter guys are sexier because they are easier to kiss, more compatible to dance with and they look more proportional. I replied with this: "you don't have to stand up to kiss, he can pick you up when you dance, and always can be deceiving". She still count imagine that I think a guy is sexy just because he is tall. She told me good things come in small packages, however I think that sexy things come in BIG packages. I described how sexy the tall guys I've dated were and she agreed with me that tall guys are people you can always look up to. This conversation ended at that, when a tall guy knocked on the door and came in, once again having to duck to get inside. My friend and I disagree on a lot of things, but I think I am staring to convince her that on this one, I am right. I can prove this from the look on her face when she sees the men, the tall sexy men.
