If you're quiet, you're not living. You've got to be NOISY, COLORFUL, and LIVELY.

~DUDE life is grand~


A blog that just talks about life is seems rather redundant but I can't stress enough how important it is to live your life to the fullest.  Yes, I've been victim to not living my life the way I'd like to and sometimes what people think of how silly I am get's the best of me.  Tonight, I was out with my Fiancee to the Good Charlotte concert in House of Blues (hob) and man, I know we live life 5 days a week 8hrs a day at work at it seems like that's all there is to life since that is our daily weekly grind.  But what an awakening tonight was...  I was able to be myself with her and not give a care in the world what people may have thought of me of the enjoyment I've experienced at the concert.  Tonight made me realize how important it is to just go out and be yourself.  I looked around the crowd and everyone just tried acting cool by not jumping, not raising their hands in the air.  Just standing around like wallflowers in a quiet field... It was sad, but made me come to the realization that life should be lived joyously and it's never too late to enjoy your life... Hey if i takes a shot or two, go for it.  My life needs to be lived the way I want it to be... and for me to enjoy my life, I need to be loud and carefree! Thank you Fiancee, and Good Charlotte. Good night :)

~Super Powers~


As a kid, all of us has imagined that we were superheroes at one point and had even picked out our own super powers!  Yep that's right, but thing is... I had more than one.  If I recall back when I was around 8 or 9, I always   had wanted powers to fly!  I'd ride my bike and let go of my handle bars and act as if I was flying... Yes our imaginations as a child are so realistic that looking as an adult to a younger child is like this kid is hilarious, but when you sit and really take a look at them, you know deep in your heart it was the most wonderful thing.  As a kid, you had the imagination to be whoever you wanted to be.  That's the greatest thing we should all keep in our lives because in reality, we can truly be who we wish to be in life.  Yeah its going to take more than just imagining it, but then that's where it all starts.  As an adult, we put in the hard work as long as we are determined for the outcome we'd always loved to have or ever possibly dreamed about.

Wish we could go back to that day where we didn't have a care in the world but to get out and play.  But now as we grow up, it's time for our kids to experience all the fun we had running around, and playing outside till its dark.  We will live our childhood through our kids and that's fine by me, as long as they can share that experience when they will have children of their own.

~Never taken for granted~


Hey I am back... after a long time away from blogging, not for any reason or choice, just been busy at work when I typically write a blog.  Don't worry, I will start to pick up on writing once work gets at a pace where I can do extra curricular tasks.

As you all may or may not know, life is precious!  You may think "yeah, I know this already why are you gonna preach on about this, I have my things to worry about, bills to pay, and life is good.  But you're wrong, life is about being open to new people, always accepting what ups and downs they may be having.  I feel that behind every smile, is a story that is waiting to be heard, it's just that people don't feel comfortable talking about it.  But what happens when it's too late?  We can't go back and say "oh wait, I wanted to tell you that..." once someone passes away or can no longer reach you it's technically too late... You can't dig someone up from the grave and say "dang, I wanted to tell you that you mean so much to me" and then expect a response.  You want to leave a lasting impression on someone and once their time comes, they know you were always there for them and will go peacefully into the night.  Yes, I know its tough, I face these issues myself of not expressing as much as I want to.  I fight through this wall and know that I should be a more open person, reach out to someone who is 100 miles away just because you care about them.  These small changes make the big changes in life and by not caring what people may judge you by, will take you far in this life and success will bestow upon you.

So be confident, stand for what you believe in, tell that person you love them once more than you usually do, hug your friends, forget the handshake, just go one step beyond your comfort zone and trust me, you will live the life you were meant to have.
