Time of my Life

This is for every good friend and every friend who feels I've forgot to mention them.

Disclaimer: I am sending this to those who I know will not judge me. Therefore, I feel I am fortunate to have friends like you. Perhaps tomorrow I will wake and regret every word, but that's not how I roll. I'm here because you made me who I am. In the very drunk words of Dominic Filosa, "Thank You". This is as sincere as it gets. Perhaps it makes no sense to you right now, but Dan Mayer has taught me one thing: Drunks expell cryptic honesty. Yeah... drunk honesty! Thanks for listening. You've only taught me to be a better person.

I.E. Blog Post April 28th, 6:07 am

According to Dan "Energy Drink" Man, I have (Off the top of my own head) crazy good topics to discuss, thus, there have been mentioned items to talk about (on separate blog occasions).

It has been my goal since the initiation of this blog to create a forum in which people could discuss popular, relevant or confrontational, or personal topics of my choosing without hesitation. I would like any person from afar (or any ideal for that matter) to express any ideal or any idea freely at their whim...

Personally, most recent of which being Erin Miller's post about the trials and tribulations she has personally witnessed in Honduras. I must admit there are times in my life when I feel as though I'm a victim. I think if one were to examine the many situations in their personal life they would find a situation similar to what the less fortunate have found (mainly privileged white people (or a superior class) leading a safe suburban life(of which I am much a part of). But, if the privileged (or moderately abused/normal as I like to call them) can lead a "normal" life what does that mean for the privileged and underprivileged? When considering the friends I have made from all walks of life I have discovered that regarding familial social status the key adolescent problems remain the same. I.E. Severe Depression, Emotional disturbances, lude behavior and inability to control primitive (or not so primitive) urges. In a personal psychological study what remains the constant across these very different thresholds? I've personally discovered age has something to do with it all but what makes parents lose all motivational criticism for their younger children? It may be 5:30 am but in the recent hours I've probed the depths of single male parents, their responsibility and where I fit in with it all contributing to their system. I think people in my position (those with an unguided younger sibling, of which there are many) need a little help. These parents are the first (like my father) to pioneer new forms of single young sibling discipline.

While I could go in indefinitely about this subject I must leave you with my thoughts or I'll end up talking to the padded walls of an insane asylum. However, (If you've even made it this far) I agree there is a summation or "ending" and that is: " We all must be adults at some point. And whatever it takes to get us there is our own decision. There is no right or wrong answer. Just our own ambition."

So, weather it cleaning carpets (doing better than most of the same status making $50K+ a year) or making $20k a year pursuing your dreams in whatever field you choose it's all worth it. I'd hate to die never knowing I gave it everything I've got risking life and limb to pursue what I thought was my proper course in life.

PS on a side note - I think Americans work much too hard for what they've got. If you've ever studied the Europeans you'll discover they've learned much greater things with merely a few hours productive work when compared to Americans. If you pursue what makes you happy success is inevitable.

With that, good luck to all my friends who are chasing that dream. You only live once. May you find life and love in our short interim before the big sleep. I feel as though I've been fortunate enough to find my reason for being here, regardless of our outcome or any accomplishments. I've found her and I couldn't ask for anything more. I hope you are as fortunate.

Love you all again,

PSS- Caruso, Please forward to Dion as I don't know his pompus e-mail address nor do I request his narcistic judgement. Whatever his comment I will hold those very few words of encouragement he's given (no matter the occasion) me close to my heart.
