My First Little Thing

I've always known that life can offer us a lot of surprises. In the words of the immortal Mr. Gump "Life is like a box of Chocolates. You don't know what you're going to get till you open it". As corny as it sounds, that has to be one of my top five fave movie lines along with such greats as "Save us from what? ZE GERMANS?", "ADRRIIAAAAANNNNN", "Luke, I am your father", "More than meets the eye!" and finally "Here's lookin at you kid" (Cliche I know!).

My point is, Mr. Gump knew what he was talking about. Life is all about surprises, some pleasant and some, well not so pleasant. Its not the big life altering surprises, its the little things.

Its always about the little things: Hanging with other manly men for boys night out, playing basketball after 5 years and busting up your knee in the process making you realize you aren't 16 and you are getting old, Having your dad call you and cuss you out for giving his address as the permanent address on your credit card application and oh you forgetting to tell him, or finally just spending time with some good old friends and reminiscing about the time you shaved your eyebrow cause you thought "Vanilla Ice was cool!"

Its always about the little things, sure once in a while a great big surprise is awesome like realising you've won the lottery, but sometimes waking up next to the drunk girl you were chatting up at the bar the previous night is just as good.

When you finally add up all those little things, you get a box of chocolates.
