Now Is The Time.

Live life and do the things you're too scared to do.

Now Is The Time.
Tinggly

Now is the time to do that crazy thing you have always wanted to do. Whether that is going skydiving or taking an impromptu trip to visit some friends at their respective schools, now is the time. Being young means we have time and energy to do anything and everything. Sure as young folks, we aren't always cash flow positive but that's okay! Taking that trip with one friend to Madison to hang out with her friends is something you should do! Don't get to a point in your life where you say "man, I wish I would have gone there/did that." You have the ability now, and let's be honest, when are you going to get to do crazy things again?

You have to be in charge of your own life and know that if you want to do something then you have to work to get it. Things are not just handed to you. If you want to travel, make it happen. If you want to buy that purse you've been staring at through the window for six months, save for it and make it happen. Life goes by in a flash and you need to have fun now. Sure when you get older, you can still go out and still sky dive or travel if you want, but there is something about being young that makes it different. The responsibility is school rather than work for 40 hours a week. If you wake up regretting last night's decisions, everyone just says "oh, to be young again." It's our time to come alive and have the times of our lives. Sure having nights in are great, do not get me wrong, but if you get the chance to do something spontaneous, why not?

Now is the time to live your lives and do things you won't ever tell your kids you did. Have the time of your life and do what makes you happy. Do that one thing you've wanted to do for years but have been too scared, or have some time to figure yourself out. Whatever it is you need in your life, now is the time. Everyone tells you that you have your entire life to do things but let's be honest here, once you start adulting the spontaneous things you could do now will be harder to do because of responsibilities you have.

So go out and have the time of your life. You're young, have fun, now's the time.

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
