The Fresh Start

Posted by Martim Barata | Posted in | Posted on 15:32

Every once in a while, you get a chance to reboot. Could be the start of a new semester, could be moving to a new location, could be a promotion, could be bean soup day at the old folks' home. Aah, bean soup. The only thing getting me going these days. Back on topic? Fine.

Beans are one of the longest cultivated plants in History. Impressive stuff. Seems like ancient civilizations in Thailand were already growing them back in the 7th Century (bC) and them cooky egyptians were burying their dead with them. Fascinating stuff, but how did we come up with the idea of making soup out of them?

I have no idea, but obviously beans have had a tremendous impact on the world. Flatulent impact. So follow this recipe and have yourself a big bowl of History.

 
Scrumptious.

Very well, since you seem to have taken a dislike to beans for some reason, I'll move onto the pseudo-topic. Sometimes the "fresh start" doesn't necessarily come from an everyday-life-changing event such as the end of the school year or that move to Alasca you've dreamt about since you were a kid. All it takes is for your mind to take a turn, to have a psychological break-through, and the effect is the same. With your new ideals and willpower, you're ready to take on the world all over again.

 
I am the captain of my fate, I am the master of my bowl.

Having watched Invictus this weekend, I got that same surge of refreshment. Hearing Morgan Freeman will do that to anyone, of course... In all honesty, the film moved me and acted as a small shove toward what I hope are greater things. To maybe work a little harder on school, to accomplish more, to play some rugby, perchance?

Tell me about your fresh starts people. How often do you get motivated or inspired?

I'ma go satisfy my beany urges.

The Cap'n
