tangles

i had my hair cut today.....i don't think that there is anything greater than getting 3 inches wamped off of your head in the middle of the summer.  i feel like a whole new person.  i wonder why i find so much excitement in a new hair cut.  i guess i really truly do live a simple life....but you know what i like it!  i don't care what society says about needing to be constantly busy, or it's extreme fascination with continuely being on the move or progressing in life.  i like to sit down and be bored.  i like be entertained by nothing but a dog and the company of a good friend.  i like that i live in a small town where the cops can have enough time to look for lost dogs, and even give a crap about it!  i like the fact that tonight i'm going to visit with friends.....spend no money......not gain any social recognition or achievement.....and still some how be a better person for it. i think that instead of society be continually obsessed with where we are going and where we have been, it should take a closer look at where it is; who it is comprised of; and what makes us so special.  do you know the 6 smiles of your closest friend? or are you to busy in life that the details become a blurr and true relationships become nothing but an inconvenience?  sometimes i think that i don't pay enough attention to the details, or that i don't live a simple life.....and then something happens.....then i get a hair cut and remember how truly satisfying it is to be completely content with the fact that the most exciting thing right now is a breeze on my neck and friends by my side.
