I wonder that if people spent the appropriate amount of time focusing on their health and happiness and not blaming other things for their downfalls, if we wouldn’t be less over populated, obese and depressed as not only a nation but as a world?
I keep hearing people blame not having enough time to exercise or do the things they want on having kids, if you’re not healthy and can’t maintain a healthy lifestyle while having kids maybe you should consider NOT having kids? Accordingly people continue to blame having a family (kids) on not pursuing their dreams or doing what they want in life. If having a family is so strenuous and stressful and detrimental on your health, happiness and dreams, then maybe we should consider the importance of having a family versus health and happiness.
Now I don’t want to play down the importance of having a family, especially for those who want and dream of nothing but that for themselves. I realize that I’m not the biggest proponent for families but all I hear on facebook among other social networking sites is wining. People wining on facebook or myspace about what they wish they were doing, which makes me laugh right out loud (LOL) because they could be out working on their dreams or finding ways to get themselves on the path to their dreams but instead they spend the better part of their day trying to find out who posted what or who’s doing who on their favorite social networking site.
I will end by restating my introduction, I truly believe that if people spent the appropriate amount of time focusing on bettering themselves, specifically their health, and quit blaming their problems on others (having kids) we would all be healthier, happier and more motivated to help others.

Passion: a strong or extravagant fondness, enthusiasm, or desire.
It's amazing how most of these blogs are happening between the hours of 1 am and 4 am. But tonight is no different, I've been up pondering the parts of my life that I adore the most and realized that there are two things that I spend the majority of my day trying to achieve....Women and Music. Through these ponderings I've come to realize that I have only ever really been passionate about two things in life. Music and Women, even from the time I was a little one I've loved women and music with all of my heart and put nothing less into each of them.
There is a reason that I don't date just anyone or join a band with just any Joe schmo...I refuse to accept mediocrity with any part of my life but especially with the two parts that I'm most passionate about. Anyone who does is lessening the value of them in their own lives and not experiencing the full extent that both Music and Love have to offer. This seems to be the same reason why it's not easy getting over either of them when they ebb and flow through my life.
Music is more of a constant but still comes and goes, but when women (love) comes and goes it's much harder because when it's not there, there's an emptiness that can't be filled no matter what. I'm beginning to grow accustom once again to the space between, whether or not it fills again isn't entirely up to me. I do need to be weary though of who is let into the iron gates and even more so who is allowed to venture further in.
This is why I fall back on music, music will always be there in some form or another and when the stars align it's as if the gods themselves are smiling upon me and my love of music the notes almost write themselves.
These passions in my life run so deep that I'm willing to give up everything that others hold so dear just to have a glimmer of a moment with either of them. But that single moment can go on for a lifetime, completely losing oneself, time seems to stop and anything is possible within that one moment.

Revolution
Truth, Beauty, Freedom and Love
Everything in my life has been leading up to these next moments in time. I realize now that the music, movies and performances that have moved me and helped me understand my own involvement in this world are all revolved around one of these four ideas.
Truth is something that too many people have become afraid of. Political correctness has created a fear of speaking one's mind, speaking without censoring, speaking the Truth. A bit of harsh reality, truth, would do this world a bit of good.
Beauty has become something unattainable by the general people because it changes so fast and has become an unhealthy way of life. What people don't understand is that if you work on the beauty within the outside beauty will take shape.
Freedom. Far too many people take for granted what freedoms we do have and then allow many of them to be taken away for a sense, illusion, of security. Take a minute and truly try to understand what "Freedom" means to you. Are you willing to fight for it, even in your everyday life?
Love. What can I say that hasn't already been said. I've given up the greatest love that I may ever know to pursue my dreams in hopes that I might be able to glimmer a small bit of Truth, Beauty, Freedom and Love. I've sacrificed what most people would die to maintain all in hopes of achieving these dreams.
Let there be a light in the end and may Love be contained in a sliver of that spectrum, for me.

Unique Perceptive Path
As I walked up the stairs instead of taking the elevator like everyone else in the building, I came to realize why I do the things that I do; the way that I do. With a unique perception on life and the world around, I've come to accept that I can take no one else's path but my own. Not only because everyone's path is unique to themselves but because of the content of that which I'm pursuing is unique to the majority of the world. When I'm done with my projects and with my life I feel and hope that others can begin to perceive the uniqueness that is my life and my story, helping them to peruse their own understanding of the world around them. As I search harder and harder I feel that what I'm searching for is getting farther and farther away with each breathe of life. It's time for action, to take control of what I can and leave the rest by the wayside for others to trudge through. What are you waiting for; no one can complete a task but you.
