Totally agree about wine being awful. I would rather have a strawberry milkshake instead of vanilla, but otherwise totally agree.
Would I want to be the best friend of an 8 year old? Dunno. I am the best friend of a hyperactive 2 year old granddaughter. Love it! :)

A vanilla milk shake is like premature ejaculation… you feel good for 30 SECONDS, then the sugar takes over and drops you on the floor. great wine (not just wine) takes you and your partner on a joy ride that could last hours… not all wines give hangovers….

Best definition of procrastination. Saving that in my “Quotes” file. Thanks.

The Man Who Knew Too Little is a fun Bill Murray movie about a guy who thinks he is participating in “live” theatre when in fact he is embroiled in a spy plot (kind of an update on the Peter Sellers movie Being There). Another really great movie is a romantic comedy titled The Tao of Steve. Totally worth checking out both of those.

Analyze This is awesome. Never get bored from it…no matter how many time I see it. Robert De Niro is GREAT.

I will just take “vacations” out of your post to give my views, because that’s the one I disagree on.

It depends if you are talking about vacations or travelling, because both are different. Vacations usually mean that you are running away/escaping your busy life for some time, always knowing that you have to come back. But travelling is just travelling. People travel, I travel, just for the sake of travelling. It is one of the most freeing and growing activities you can do. Emotionally. Spiritually. Physically. Mentally. Give it a try!

Nice article, altough I do like wine (red), with cheese and food, I do like to travel and hey the other day I went to a mediation session that was just awesome, I agree that most of this things are so oversold that they might seem like total crap and bullshit. I love wine for the taste with food and for the effect, I’m not going to lye that I like getting happy with it. As for travel , for me is awesome, yes, having to go through immigration is total crap. Eating garbage on the airplane is more than sick, but at the end being able to see cool things, being in front on the Eiffel tower for my 25 birthday was worthed, and travel doesn’t have to be abroad, travel to the nearest town, taste the food, meet the people, I like that. As for news and TV in general, more than agree, that’s crap in your head bumped at your will. And men, the procrastination quote is the best! Money, yeah I like it, better to have it to do what I want than not. But again I agree that we’re sick about money and its uses, getting rich seems like a mantra and if not, you’re a loser.

1)      Doesn’t wine taste bad?   Some wine tastes bad. Finding a good wine means paying more but you don’t have to pay a fortune to find a good bottle. Decent is usually $25 on up but I’ve found good wine for $17. Single malt scotch is good like Dalmore (sp?) or Glenfidditch (sp?) but avoid stomach churning garbage like Jamesson or any highly advertised whiskey. A decent whiskey, like a drinkable wine costs a little money.
     Be honest: Do you really remember anything that happened in school? I remember being bored to death.
     Children.   I have energy for my two children only. All my excess good will toward young people was destroyed after 14 years of teaching.
4)      News. Is the news that interesting? NO! NO! NO!
5)      Theater. Seeing a play at the Ogunquit Playhouse with my kids is a lot of fun. We see about four shows per year.
But do you really like theater? Yes.
Regarding movies I will only say I waited years for my wife to finally watch LOTR. She watches parts 1 and 2 with me after almost a decade of prodding. I’m very open minded about her movies and I’m always pleasantly surprised by her choices. Now if only she’d watch Godfather I and II with me…
Voting. Even if the told you the truth all the time and some of them really do, mainstream politicians are almost always harmful.
7. Meditation. Anyone who can go to a Quaker meeting and leave upset or angry is probably insane.
8. Money. My happiest days coincided with peace of mind and doing what I really wanted to do. Money was only part of the peace of mind, but a very necessary one.

9. Vacations. I really haven’t travelled anywhere yet. Sad but true and I’m 41.
10. Great literature. I read Emerson. Most of my reading is confined to piano sheet music and books about number theory.
11. The Food Pyramid. True dat! It’s also used to justify crappy school lunch programs.
Procrastination. What does that word really mean? It means you are doing something you like to do because you don’t want to do something you don’t like to do. This is completely true. Work is a blessing not a curse iff your heart is in it.
