| New horizons.. |
So, yesterday I found out I am going to school pretty much on a full scholarship. Yeah...good stuff. It's amazing what you can accomplish when you try and take the initiative to do so. Of course, I'm not there yet, so I don't wanna jinx myself.
Going back to school will require a lot of self discipline. I have enough people around me pulling for me though that I don't think it will be an issue. I wonder if I will be an honor student? Hmm. My guess is that it is going to take a lot of work, but I can do it.
I assume it will be much different than broadcasting school. Depending on how you look at things, it may or may not come easy to ya. I loved it. It was my thing. Now that I am older, it seems I am more interested in the business side of radio than the talent side of it, or technical side. No matter, there aren't any jobs in the field anyhow, and what I have learned in college over 14 yrs ago is now obsolete, and I believe the internet is taking over radio anyhow.
So, what am I going to study? Well, for now, General Studies. That leaves the door open for anything. Although, I am quite interested in how the human psyche works...
Let there be no misunderstanding that I still like to sound off and be silly and goofy and just spew out whatever comes to mind in a random sort of nature, but that is what the internet is for.

| Ever Wonder... |
...why we wind up where we wind up? I do. And then, something happens and you wind up on this crazy electronic box, and believe it or not, you make friends, or even better, connect with those you haven't seen in a gazillion years.
It's kind of neat to see where people are today. It is kind of like your own little segment of "Where are they now?", only the show is somewhat twisted, because the camera is located within the depths of your soul and your mind, all controlled by a centralized power box, called the human heart...(or maybe not necessarily in that order. Who knows?) But nonetheless, YOU are ultimately the host of this show.
Personally, I believe that certain things happen for a reason. It is what it is, and that's the way it is. You could spend your entire life saying "what if", only to find out that "if" was never there in the first place. And before you know it, even the "if" is gone because you spent too much damn time worrying about it. There is nothing wrong with hoping for a brighter future. However, in retrospect, we never can truly take any of these things with us when we go. Why not enjoy your life while you have it in this state of being? Does it matter what happens when you go?
Furthermore, I am afraid to die. I do not welcome nor embrace it. But I know it is one day to be. What makes it so tragic? I think it is the fear of the unknown to be quite honest, although, some may argue that it is simply that we are raised to believe it's this way or that way. When really, the answer lies in YOU.
So, cherish your friends, your family, those around you, and even those who are not. You learn from them DAILY.

| Yeah, so... |
The journey of life continues as we sit and wonder what it is we are here for. A wise man tells me we are all connected, through the beauty of physics. He may in fact be onto something. Does that mean it pains you any less to hear that someone you are close to, although expected, has been diagnosed with lung cancer in one form or another? Of course not. It is how you handle the situation that makes you or breaks you. I learned a long time ago that in times of crisis, I am the "go to" person...I am there for my friends, and can easily help them through tough situations. It is what I do best. However, when it comes to something that bothers me, I not only decline all help offered to me, I somehow don't handle it too well at times, which I noticed quite vividly with the death of my father, grandmother, best friend, etc.And so, am I happy about the latest developments with my mom? Hell no, of course not...especially since we share genealogical make up. But, I have learned, through a great woman whom I once admired (a former manager), that it is best to be proactive than reactive...As a great man once told me (yes, the same one mentioned above) there is strength in numbers, thus, to be proactive will help her defeat this insidious enemy even better, and make her even stronger, and hey, there is still time. From what I am told, the chances are good it has been caught in time.And with that, I embrace this latest challenge with eyes wide open and vigilance; strength and determination. It is too important NOT to.Peace...
