What a time to live.
You flip a switch and there, the room is lit.
You turn a knob and water flows into your sink.
You sit down at your computer and are able to communicate with someone from the other side of the world.
You can send a letter from Florida to Alaska for 37 cents.
If you’re hot, you can pull a cord from the ceiling and blades will circulate the air to cool you.
You can let your fingers do the walking and call across the planet through wires and satellites.
People come and take your trash from you every week.
Toilet paper is quilted for our comfort.
Invisible waves travel through the air constantly and are made into sounds and pictures by our radios and television sets, respectively.
Although we may not realize it, air, the one substance that keeps us alive is all around us at any given moment.
So when you think you have it bad, take a look at all the things you have and try not to take them for granted.

Some people might tell you it’s all about timing.
Sure, knowing when to steer right and left is important, but the key is to know your opponents, not to just steer clear of them at all costs. You cannot dominate your enemies until you first associate with them.
Blinky, known earlier as “Shadow” will just follow you. He gains speed as dots are collected and, when provoked, can be merciless.
Inky tries to do the same as his Red counterpart, but to no avail. However, one shouldn’t underestimate his speed and agility.
Pinky, while he is a threat, travels the farthest route to you as possible. Not too frightening, but for a lone yellow sphere in a world of ghosts, he can be right freaky.
Sue is the woman of the bunch. She may be a token character, but the orange beast stands guard to the area while her brothers do the dirty work.
But knowing how the little fellows operate isn’t enough; one has to actually spend time with them to see what they like. What route to take. How their eyes move before they turn. And, after a while, you begin to relate to them.
Me? I think I’m like Pinky. Why? Certs me.
