There are a hand full of things i miss from old Minnesota. Although, I have to admit, I'll never understand suburbia. I get out of the car and I see perfectly manicured lawns as far as the eye can see. I would understand if one or two people had spent a lot of time on their lawns, perhaps gardening hobbyists, people with a fairy-obsessive nature, etc. But every single lawn is perfectly manicured. And all I can puzzle over is, "Doesn't anybody here have anything else to do?" Does lawn manicuring hold such a high priority in their lives that, with all the competing pressures of modern life, they somehow all find the time to pay this much attention to grass. Just grass? This got me thinking: Is it just me, or is a huge section of society misplacing their priorities of what's essentially important? Now, I am only referring to grass but could this be taken too far? Could one risk another life over, perhaps even a light beer or a glance at a girl who happens to be taken? What draws the line? In my theory, we should hold ourselves high and our foremost vital needs. Keep the ones closest, closest to you and don't over think a situation. Sure, my theory has flaws but since when does anyone have a clue? Infact, we are only human.
