Don’t get me wrong—I like Sheryl Crow. I like her hippie-ish, everyone-be-happy style. Style aside, however, I can’t say I agree with her message. This song here, All I Wanna Do is one of her popular tunes.
"All I wanna do is have a little fun before I die,"
Says the man next to me out of nowhere
It's apropos Of nothing
He says his name's William but I'm sure,
He's Bill or Billy or Mac or Buddy
And he's plain ugly to me
And I wonder if he's ever had a day of fun in his whole life
We are drinking beer at noon on Tuesday
In a bar that faces a giant car wash
The good people of the world are washing their cars
On their lunch break, hosing and scrubbing
As best they can in skirts in suits
All I wanna do is have some fun
I got a feeling I'm not the only one
We all want to have fun. The sad part is, life isn’t always fun. Those people washing their cars might have had fun lives for all we know. But cars got to be washed, folks.
For some personal perspective, I’m taking a geometry course right now. I don’t like it. All I want to do is have some fun, but I also want to get into college. I want good ACT and SAT scores. I want to understand what makes parallelograms congruent. That is not fun. However, it is worth it.
That, right there, is my thesis. Life isn’t always fun, but what isn’t fun, should be worth it. So, by all means, go have fun. Just make sure you finish your geometry first.
We can make a difference.
Hope

Life comes at us in Levels. Happy is one level, but JOY is a much higher level. To reach the level of joy, which is much better than the level of happy, we sometimes have to do hard things!But it is worth it to receive the joy!
