For those of you who have known me and are good friends of mine this song is dedicated to you. It is true that you can make new friends but you can't make old friends. It takes a lot of time a lot of laughter and also a few tears and sometimes a lot of them to make a old friend. Old friends know you inside and out. They tell you the truth even if it sometimes hurts to hear it. Sometimes they don't always agree with you and they aren't afraid to make that known but still through it all you still are friends. So for you all who have this bond with me I want you to know that your friendship means the world to me and I will always have a special place in my heart for each and every one of you. My memories run through  my mind of good and bad times but they are what make me me and help make you and me, us. I appreciate they effort and time you have put into our relationship and I want you to know you can't replace a old friend.You Can't Make Old Friends.

Challenges of Being Single

Sometimes life finds us stuck between so much. You have work and the stresses that come with that. Not to mention the holidays are coming up. Halloween is such a fun time of year. Thanksgiving and Christmas are the season of giving. All of these things are wonderful but can also be a very lonely time of year when you have to go through them alone. Being alone is not fun. Hearing someone and being able to just talk and express your feelings out loud to someone is all a part of human nature. We are not meant to be alone. We are social creatures so when subjected to loneliness the heart aches and longs for a connection. The heart can turn monsters into angels and lead us down a dead end path that is when our minds come into play. We can't just settle for someone for the sake of not being alone. Doing that is something many people do and they end up traveling down the road to a dead end and when they reach the dead end they crash and it hurts and takes even much longer to turn around and start over. Starting over. Two words that seem so simple but yet are so hard to do. Hard to let go hard to move on and accept being alone and hard not to be lonely. Loving yourself isn't enough in life. Love is meant to be given away. I hope that one day I can find someone wonderful and someone who takes my breath away. I look for the Cinderella story. Does this even exist? I don't know but I at least hold onto hope that it does. I wake up each day hoping that Mr. Right will walk in my life and sweep me off of my feet but often find myself going to bed alone and very much aware of the loneliness in my heart. So many will say keep your chin up love is out there you just have to wait for the right time. That is true but those words don't change anything. They don't fill the void in your heart that is necessary due to human nature of the need of human contact on the deepest level. Prince Charming stop hiding. I'm not getting any younger. Please don't wait until I have to use a walker.

You Can't Make Old Friends

Dolly Parton has sung a song with Kenny Rogers titled You Can't Make Old Friends and it rings so true. You can only make new friends and they may eventually become old friends but your old friends are the ones that know who you are and what matters to you. My friend Candice and I first met in my first year of high school. I was a little skinny shy boy in music class and she and I began to share our likes in music with each other. Through several days we became great friends and we just knew that we were old soul brother and sister. She and I were enough different and yet had so many similarities. She was musically talented and we enjoyed getting together and recording her songs using my old karaoke machine. Some of my favorite memories are of us sitting in her room hoping everyone in the house wouldn't stomp on the floor and mess up the recording! How in the world did we get through that nearly 10 minute song "As Time Goes On". A true friend; an old friend will forever be there for you and no matter the distance nor the time once you get back into each others' company it is like no time has passed! If you have an old friend cherish them and love them and never desert them or make them feel that their time isn't valuable.

Fame

Fame. The word is such a short word but creates so much controversy and greed for so many. Many chase it then run from it. I think that the most successful people who have found any amount of fame has been those who are not afraid to lose that fame and don't sell out for the next big thing or the latest trend. These types of people are few and far between in the industry of film and music. It is hard to watch when people like Britney Spears or Lindsay Lohan go through the struggles of fame and have public meltdowns. Sometimes people become so famous that the public treats them as just a gateway into entertainment and don't realize that these artist are real people with feelings and emotions. Many will say that they bring this on themselves; while I believe on some level this may be true however I do not think that everything they are faced with is something that they create. Fame is a tricky thing. If ever I was famous I would handle my fame with care and ensure that my career followed the path that I choose. How about you? What is your take on fame and how would you handle it?
