Yes, put "play" back into the game. It hit me good one day, for example, when I went to a Jazz concert at my town common. Kids were playing care free- just enjoying to be alive and having fun! The adults? Sitting in lawn chairs, generally speaking, watching the kids have most of the fun!
I like to take things not so seriously. By that, I mean, have fun! Play! Be a curious little kid.
With this kind of mindset, reading that dry reference is not typical kids play, but it can feel like it.
I think many of us adults, including myself, can find ourselves being VERY boring sometimes. We don't take life to its fullest potential, or even close. Take back the simple, yet most valuable things in life: fun, happiness!
I look back to the days when the typical professional computer programmer- oh, I dont know, the big COBOL days or whatever -was QUITE a dry person. See the stupid briefcase, the suit, for a creative job that could be fun!
Just out of interest, do major computer enthusiasts and people who truly feel for music generally mix well? Music, aside from what many of us have experienced in our lifetimes and socialized to accept, is not about financial gain. Sharing, loving, feeling. There are many positive things music is about and there are no overtones of financial gain with music in its pure form- what it was meant to be. The richness of music is already there. So,if a real music artist, their managers and whoever else can wake up (almost literally it seems) and realize this, they can stop looking in our pockets for it. Can't people do something as simple and kind as share anymore? Or is this behavior only allowed in limitied situations which scrupulous yet greedy entreprenuers have not found a loophole in which to turn sharing into a business transaction?
