Fantastic Journey
I was driving the other day and I saw this boy was by himself, waiting at the crosswalk for the light to change. Roughly about 10 years of age, just got out of school maybe, carrying his backpack on his back. I thought, what a handsome young boy, with good posture, such innocence... full of life. Then I was also thinking that someday, he might turn out to be someone of importance! Who knows, maybe someone famous, a hero... or, a nobody... a someone who ends up at a crack house, something tragic. Nonetheless, what fantastic dreams he will have. Life awaits.
Then I was reminded of myself when I was his age... What dreams did I have? It's been so long, I have forgotten. Did I dream about today? Am I doing what I'm 'supposed' to be doing? What I truly want to be doing? But what exactly? I do not know. I was never good at planning things. But I really don't care... right now, I'm happy today. At this point in time, I feel really good about my life. I don't care if I will have fun this weekend or not, I don't care if I'll ever be 'successful', I don't care if I will ever have lived up to my own expectation or not... I feel good. Now.
Your brightest day or your darkest night... Every day is a fantastic journey.

Think long enough and some of those thoughts would resurface Rob.
Oh hey, do you know if that boy in those "Spirit" posts would take some fella in for a night *cough cough
Aww heck, I might have to spend Sunday night in LA if I do end up leaving this weekend. Can I crash!!? Haha, I can't believe I'm asking that, broadcasting it to the whole world ;P

When I was 10 years old, I wanted to be a mermaid.
Just kidding.
I thought of becoming a Marine Biologist.
But who would have thought that I failed all my Bio classes in college?
