Start Today...

This song is a motivator to anyone out there that has been wanting to change something in their own life and hasn't quite gotten to it yet, or doesnt acknowledge a problem that oneself may have until it blows up in their face and its too late. If I can help or motivate one person to look in the mirror and make a change for the better from this post and this great song, then I am happy. It is hard to accept the bad things about yourself, but it is even harder dealing with the things that you, yourself have done because of those bad things... Well this song meant the world to me in my teens, and it means even more to me today at the age of 31, as I play it over and over in my head daily( not literally..LOL) to make the right changes and right my wrongs. Sorry for the rants, I am just dissapointed in myself and entrenched in self help and making it a priority to work a program to be a better more self controlled person, and It helps to just let it out to the world a little to get it off my chest. Im going to borrow a few select words from a dear friend of mine that always moved me when i heard him say it...
"Take care of one another, Peace!"

Old man version...

Whisper words of wisdom...

Daring to live means daring to die at any moment, but also means daring to be born, crossing stages in life in which the person we have been dies, and is replaced by another with a renewed vision of the world, and at the same time realizing there will be many obstacles to overcome before we reach the final stage of enlightenment.......

Nike air Huaraches and vinyl, Need I say more!

Girls on Indian motorcycles... This picture is too cool, can you picture a photo like this going down today? I can't, but it's nice to dream!

Ye ol' walldogs...The lost ART of advertising, also was the loss of these jobs, now a days some guy pulls up in a boom truck, lifts himself up and tosses a pre printed plastic add over a billboard ties a couple of things up and wallla...

Hopefully my basement will look like this one day, And the kids on my street(memory Lane) will refer to me as Hector the collector!

An american pastime, and better yet TRADITION... Dads take kids to games and introduce the thrill of the sports world, something that most of us cherish our entire lives, Knowing we share a passion with a dad or mom about a certain sports team whether it be base, basket, or football, soccer, etc etc.. its a feeling that can be shared with them for a lifetime.
