Just a Day , just an Ordinary day??

I remember on this day...my best friend Richard, had the same exact feeling as I did. It was hard to explain. But maybe at the time we were so in synch with our worldly opinions/emotions...

"Today was a pretty blah day. Have you noticed that the past week has been just that? Everyone is just existing, not anything really big or profound. The world has slowed down, and is in a kinda stop stasis. Today I had to make a decision. I had to choose which direction that my life needed to take. I asked around, I asked what would they do if it was summer time. Would they continue to go to school through summer? Or take time off to chill and do some stuff for themselves? I wanted to take the time for a Kung-fu class. Or take a sign language class. I really just wanted to do these things to better myself. Just to have a list of accomplishments on my belt. I know it's not really a direction, but my direction is forward. I believe that if I'm doing stuff that will better me inside, then that is moving forward. But I assume that's not reality. That stuff won't get me a job, and I would probably use it only about One in a Thousand. But still..."

I actually did end up taking the sign language class...and ya know what? It's come in handy on more than one occasion...
