A Lazy Day

"Today I don't feel like doing anything

I just wanna lay in my bed

Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone

'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything"

Bruno Mars has the right idea. It's nice to take a day and do nothing every now and then. It's nice to just stay in your pajamas all day and maybe watch some TV. Or if TV isn't your thing then you could finally read that book you've been dying to read or listen to that new song. There are so many things you can do on a "lazy day". What you do all depends on your interest. For me, I usually just watch TV or sit around on Facebook. It's sad to say that Facebook is such a huge part of the lives of today's youth, but it's true. Facebook addicts aren't just teens, adults are addicted too and sometimes they can be worse than the teenagers. Whatever you like to do on your "lazy day" it's always nice to just take time for yourself. Today's world moves at such a fast pace that sometime we forget to just slow down for a minute and "smell the roses". Yes, I know I just used a major cliché but it's true. We often forget the simple things in life and sometimes it takes a "lazy day" to remember them all. I think "lazy days" are needed but there can come a point when they become a little too much. It's okay to take a day off from the world every now and then as long as you jump right back into the real world and actually do something with your life. You will never get any where in life if you just sit around waiting for something to happen to you. It's the ones who try in life that will succeed. Even Bruno Mars touches on this in his song. He says:

"Tomorrow I'll wake up, do some P90X"

and

"Yeah, I might mess around

And get my college degree".

Bruno Mars realizes that he is going to have to work at some point in order for his life to be successful but he is also allowed to enjoy a day to himself. I think everyone needs to grasp this view point and maybe then we would have a lot more successful people in the world. It's funny to think that an idea like this can be found in a song, but isn't that the whole point of music? At least it used to be. Music is meant to inspire and taken in the right context this song can convey an excellent way to view life.
