Hi, y'all I havn't been on here for awhile but I've been lurking around...
ok;
You know that time in your life where everything is mediocre, your job stinks, your pay is horrible, your children get on your nerves more often than not, you're in debt and you're loosing your figure? What happened to the dreams we had when we were younger? The book you wanted to write? The business we wanted to open?
I have seated down in a few auditoriums and rooms and lectures halls that recite and sermonize about how you shouldn't confuse reality from dillusion. Well my friends, without dreams where would we all be now? Remember Martin Luther's words, "I have a dream..." It's those words that drives reality.
So people, hold fast to your dreams.
I'm not saying that you will become an actress, a singer, or author. For yes, there are those with vocal disabilities, those with the awkward body movements.
Hold fast to dreams for they are the concrete of reality.
But with these dreams come risks... we all know that. Yet if we do not agree with risks, we will remain as we are and worse. We sag old and guilt-ridden and regretful...
The Risks done with the passion of absolute disregard for the outcome will reap the greatest results... or none at all, but you have started with a none in the first place.
Hold fast to your dreams, ladies and gentleman.

I HAD to do that... I see so many disheartened people that it drives me so. I'm afraid that it has been an epidemic for years...
Hold fast to your dreams.
It is folly to punish your neighbor by fire when you live next door.
Publilius Syrus
I look around and I see the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy **** we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off.
