So I have this friend (isn't that how it always starts?) who for many reasons I see limitless potential. The duder is creative, intellegent, and very very talented. Actually I have several friends in this very situation. So lately I've been asking myself what could I possibly do to inspire them to go forth and be the masterful people I see inside of them.

Through discussing this very topic with others who are similar to my vintage (age) I've come to realize that we all share one major thing in common. As some point in our lives there has been or will be a person that touched us (not always in a naughty way) and made the transition from youth to adult that much more easy to take. It doesn't matter how! It could be through music, through love, through kindness, through faith...anything really so long as it some how manages to touch us, inspire change, and make us happy with the people we are.

I myself have had a person like that in my own life. To this day I treasure the fact that this person managed to reach through the many layers of the onion that is my brain and make a difference on so many levels. Granted they are my pollar oposite being a tall, blonde, white dude....yet we managed to find some comon girlie ground when I would be woken up on the wrong side of the bed cranky way and was forced to cross dress him. I'm just kidding folks he was and is a great guy still....but he did work those short vinyl hot pants for all they were worth. Either way I'm sure you get the point.

I think that one of my life goals is to be that person for some one esle. I guess it's almost like I want to pay it forward. Right now more than anything I wish I could be there for these great and talented friends of mine in such a capacity. I'd like one to become a great musician far away from his family, I'd like another to become a best selling author for the world to shower love upon, and I'd like another to tap into his creative juices and set the gaming world away with his ideas. I'm sure it's silly to put all of this into a blog but if I had a star to wish upon I would wish all of this and more for them. Sappy I know.

Other than my jaunt into melancholia I've mainly placed all of my efforts into my break away from Hawaii. Granted, lately I've been some what lazy but I dream about returning to the islands fresh and new. I've never really had a new beginning before. There's a prospect for a place to live much cheaper than my current living situation and I'd deffinately like to explore a life far away from the pressure that my family places upon me and even my husband. So much of there is so much of the future rushing head long into me that I some times can't help but feel like a deer caught in head lights. Fear not kiddies I've got video games, comic books, tattoos, creativity, and the extended family I've made for myself to get my through. I just needed to clear my head.

Hope the weekend is working out for everyone

P.S. I got to pet a great dane today! SO HAPPY ABOUT THAT!
