simple days... as i was working on something today i had my ipod on shuffle and it played a great babyface song, i've always been a huge babyface fan eversince he was still part of The Deal, his first two albums "For the cool in you" and "The Day" were dope but his music kind of went downhill when he dropped his 3rd album, the only good song from that album was the break up/regret song "what if" (a great song) anyway to continue with my rambling, my pod hit the song "simple days" from "The Day" album.. one of the songs that truly takes me back to my high school and middle school days, life was so simple back then, no worries, no troubles.. i remember just going to class, hanging out during honor pass, going to ball practice and hanging out with the boys.. the only worries back then were the occasional exams and whatever trivial mama drama was going around because of people hooking up or breaking up, of course another major problem was deciding what to eat at the wantilan (cafeteria), or whether to grab a snack at the student hore (is that how you spell hore?, anyway it was our name for the student store), or the booster slut (booster hut)... it was so nice not worrying about your future, worrying about work, or whether you'll end up being a failure or not.. back then it was just hanging out and enjoying the moment and trying to act cool or trying to get to know a girl that you had the hots for..
now its the hustle and bustle of work, the anxiety of what lies ahead, the decisions you have to make, and the prayers that a girl will actually give you the time of day (well that applies for me, not sure about the other guys out there)... i guess it just makes me appreciate more what i had back then, but the present is great too, the same anxieties you have about the future is what drives you, and when you do get to where you wanna be all the more rewarding it is.. maybe now its just the challenge of making these days as simple as the days before...if that makes any sense at all...
last words... "sometimes i can't get over how wonderful those days were back in our lives, simple days for simple times.."- babyface
