Birthdays

January 22, 1980


I've always held the long standing belief that birthdays are not only a day of celebration but also a day of reflection, for instance I can remember now when I was younger I would always say: I can't wait until I'm X years old...Like when I was 10 I couldn't wait until I was 15, when I was 15 I couldn't wait until I was 18, when I was 18 I couldn't wait until I was 21. But it's funny because when I turned 25 I wanted to be 21 again. Today I sit here at 29 and examine what I've done in life up to this point, what I do now and want to do in the future. The best thing about any birthday I've had thus far hasn't been the presents, the parties or the people, but has been the ability to continue to dream, as I continue to age and change so do my dreams. And to someone who today lost someone very important in their life today I say: As hard as now may seem, and as dim as moving forward may appeard, think not about the moments missed but about all the moments shared. My heart goes out to you and your family. To everyone else I say Thank You for at some point being a part of what I am today.

National Police Week – Who Cares?

I just found out that it’s: National Police Week, and now I’m hoping that one of you .’ s out there joins me and  doesn’t do anything to mess it up. Don’t be the one who kills a cop this week, don’t be the one that does it by accident or intentionally , and seriously to the following OFFENDERS : - middle aged guy , DO NOT go out and get drunk this week and  then crash into a cop on your way to another bar, and a – FELON ,Can you wait until NEXT WEEK to  “pull your strap”  and “ BAD COP ”, that cop who treats what he does as “just another job” and not as a commitment to protect & serve the community. As a matter of fact I’m “CALLING ALL COPS” ,Can ALL COPS EVERYWHERE just take a break on respond to any & all calls for a week & let a real POLICE Officer take the next one ...I mean can the Police just get the chance to stop holding his breath this week? Just for this one week, I’m sure it can’t be that hard..I mean if you have to do something, keep ...

End of the Line

Where are you? Where have you gone? Why have you left me here all alone? Will you ever come back? Those are just a few of the questions that I ask myself each day that I open my eyes. WHY CAN’T I THINK ANYMORE? WHY CAN’T I UNDERSTAND ANYTHING? WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME? WHEN WILL IT ALL CLICK AND MAKE SENSE AGAIN? WHEN WILL MY STRUGGLING END? WHY CAN’T I JUST BE NORMAL LIKE EVERYONE ELSE? WHY AM I SO AFRAID? WHY AMI SO ASHAMED? WHY DOES IT FEEL LIKE I AM CONSTANTLY ALONE? WHY DOESN’T ANYONE CARE? WHEN WILL SOMEONE LISTEN? WILL ANYONE EVER UNDERSTAND? My head is so full of questions, that the answers themselves are invisible… I can no longer continue to live my life the way that it is, and so I choose today, this moment, this time to put an end to way that it is. I’m tired of having to explain what I mean in order for other people to understand, I’m tired of trying to be what people expect while at same time failing to meet overall expectations. Tired o...
