Remember.

Sometimes we get caught up in a moment. 
We are driven by money, fame, and the usual rat race trying to beat everyone else around us.
We forget.
We forget the frailty of life.
We forget the people who care about us.
We forget that there's more to life than the materials.

Your life can change in a millisecond.
Your priorities can shift in the blink of an eye.

Expect the unexpected, keep your head up, and hope for the best.

Bringing Crazy Back

After a coma-inducing dinner with a good friend, the topic of "who's crazy" dotted our dinner conversation.  What does it mean to be crazy?  Eccentricities or neuroticisms that some people find charming?  Example: "Oh, look at that guy, he's so cute because he has to eat exactly 100 cheerios every morning"  Weird, and possibly stupid, right?   It's when those eccentricities start to take over people's lives that it becomes a turn-off, or downright scary.  Example: "Oh, look at that guy, he has pictures of all his ex-girlfriends when they were sleeping, in a bag under his bed."  Cra---zy.

So, whether you're 100 cheerios guy, or creepy picture taking guy, you're crazy, because lets face it, with a population over 6 billion, it's impossible for us not to be crazy.  We've all got baggage, regrets, stupid things we've said or done making other people feel super uncomfortable (....no? just me, then?...okay, fine) so with life experiences constantly altering how can we be normal?

I say, let's bring the crazy back, enjoy who you are (unless you're an axe murderer, then you need help) because other people are just as crazy as you.

2012

Ahh, the new year is upon us, kids!

The lack of blogging has been mainly because I suck at this...clearly.

So, what are my resolutions for the apparent last year of the existence of the world...haha, I still can't help but laugh at that.  Although, if we are all going to die, I'm cool with that...I've had a good run!

Okay, so what do I hope for in 2012

1) Be a better family member...as much as I love them and they get on my back, I've gotta continue to take care of them and put them first before anything else...that's what a family is.

2) Write more comedy and especially more music..it's one thing to think it, but I really need to write it dooowwwnnnnn!

3) This is the big one.  Cut out all the bullshit.  I'm tired of being the person that looks for the best in people who simply treat me like crap.  I'm tired of vesting time and energy in people who don't make me a priority.  Why surround myself by people that will bring me down, when I have so many people who provide the opposite.  And by people, I mean EVERYONE!  Friends, family, potential relationships, everyone!  I'm also going to stop lying to myself.  This goes hand in hand with cutting out bullshit.  I'm my biggest problem when it comes to anything because I'm way too critical of myself, but at the same time am not critical about the things that, at times, matter the most.
I need honest people.  We need to replace the phrase "the truth hurts" with "hey, crazy, being honest is always better".  Unless of course you really do look fat in that dress... ;) haha

Okay, that's it...now to find some food and let 2012 begin!!
