Jeep Wave

All the way through high school, I drove my dads '95 soft top jeep wrangler. I loved that jeep not only because driving with the top down, doorless during the beautiful spring, summer and fall was amazing, but the culture that went along with driving the jeep made it extra special. There is a 'jeep club' exclusive for jeep wrangler drivers only. A simple wave to another jeep driver lets you know they are apart of the club. Apart of the enjoy life and drive a jeep club. Yes, clearly their advertising of the Jeep Life worked on me, but really, seeing that kind of happiness between jeep drivers is just comforting- knowing that driving a Jeep just makes life seem a littler happier.

I almost wish that everyone could be apart of the jeep club. Right now, as I type, Diane Sawyer is reporting about the unrest in the Middle East. She is speaking about the one week celebration of victory in Egypt, and the revolution starting Bahrain. These people are fighting for their rights- and here I am, talking about a jeep wave. How messed up is that? The world is on edge, all eyes focused on the middle east- protesters being beaten, killed, journalists attacked- men, women and children looking on waiting to see what will happen to their country, to their future and to their freedom.

I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason- but what is the reason for all the unrest? What is the reason for all the problems and all the unhappiness. Life is not suppose to be this hard. Was there ever a time that everyone was happy? In my mind- yes, when we were cave men, before the invention of fire- when people just were.

Questions of the world that will never be answered until they are played out. I guess all I can do is keep forming opinions to make thing better. Make people smile. Make people realize that maybe life can be easier if they just let go- everyone just accept. Acceptance and understand.

I am not big on politics or policies. I don't understand them and I never really have. I believe in as long as you are happy and allow me to be happy and don't get in my way of happiness, then we're all good. Its an elementary thought I know, but it works for me and I am a happy person generally- just don't quite understand why everyone else can't.

If everyone can find their 'jeep wave' then maybe we can all get along... But who knows.

What I do know is this:

With everything going on, and all the stress in the world- its scary. I am scared and nervous, but want to do something to help. Just don't know what.

Peace, love and Jeep wave to the world,
