All I want to do is fish and ride bicycles. Yep you heard right, all I want to do right now is ride a bicycle and fish all day long. I guess after the long day of pleasing people, running errands, cooking dinners, making appearances and generally running like a chicken, I am just tired.
I think back to when I was young and school seemed to take forever to get through. Remember? The summertime was too quick and the winter took forever.... Day end and day out school this and school that.
Now all I would like to be that guy who is out fishing and riding his bicycle. How do I do that you ask? Well I tell you in this society you dont. I have been amazed at how busy life can make you. I am almost thirty years old and have spent most of my life running from one thing to another. Oh sure there have been spectacular moments. Graduations, boot camp, Serving in Iraqi, but why is it that we have some how caused life to speed up?
Think about it, a few years ago families would stop for a week and go on vacations or get together and set on the porch, now we are lucky to even have a porch. Vacations? Well we still vacation but do we ever really relax?
So I go back to a memory I have of living in Lynchburg, VA. It was a sunny morning and me and my good buddy Jimbo decided to go bike riding. I will never forget how wonderful it was to ride and feel the wind on my face. The sun was shining hard through the trees and the birds were chirping all over the place.
Man we would ride down by the train tunnel and towards the water falls... Man what a time.
And then here I am sitting in a gloomy room with rain and I am watching people running to get to their next appointment and all I can think of is, I would like to be riding my bicycle and fishing......
