Sometimes it’s nice to take a break from the big, bad world. As a Modernist on the Go, I see a lot of troubling things in my travels. The United States is descending more and more into a police state. Many other countries are following the same downward spiral. There are, of course, bright spots to go towards, but by and large there is a lot to worry about.
While these problems should not be ignored, they cannot be focused on exclusively. The human mind needs to take a break from seriousness every now and then. A vacation is in order.
And where can you really take a break? Disneyland! Duh!
Pick up yourself some disneyland tickets and head over to sunny California (on the cheap of course) and immerse yourself in make believe where the good guys are good, the bad guys are bad, and the difference is clear.
If you have children, that’s even better, but by no means required. It’s OK to be a grown up and be amused by amusement parks. That’s why they are named that way!
While I don’t recommend living or working in The People’s Commie Republic of Kalifornia, I do recommend the weather, the wine, and the scenery. Basically, it’s a nice place to visit, but I wouldn’t want to live there. After all, the ring of fire is heating up, and that’s definitely a place you don’t want to be. But until that happens, it’s a great vacation!
