I’ve made it....21*
Current mood:

If I've said it once i've said it a thousand times...
life is beautiful.
I can't believe I made it. There were lots of bets that I wouldn't 
... especially because of all the stupid shit i've done to get here. But its truly amazing how your eyes can be opened, and you'd be amazed at how much you've changed since your last "big birthday". The people that have helped to shape the person you are now... the events that bring both laughter and tears. How the time has flown.

Memories. Treasures that give your life sparkle and add meaning to times you'd least expect. I've come to realize that in life its not about the end result... not about the destination but about the journey. Its not about the petty fights, not about being busy or stressed... its about handling it the right way to preserve your friendships, your heart, the greater good, and most of all your sanity.
Its about trying to remember that its not about being right, its about being happy.
Dont sweat the petty stuff... and dont pet the sweaty stuff. Scratch that... sweaty stuff is fun... pet away. 
I look around and think back and realize how truly lucky i have been. Granted... not all of it was luck... hard work can get you far. But the people i have been so lucky to share my life with... that was luck. So, in the interest of passing on just a few of the things i've learned (the hard way, the easy way, and just plain dumb tripped upon) from the people that help to make me... me.
It never hurts to be silly.. and there is no such thing as a stupid question...
...if it makes someone laugh it was worth it. Extra points if you can laugh at yourself.
Time heals all.
Your best friends are invaluable, inventive, and ten times smarter than you think they are. Best friends are the quintessential 20/20 hindsight before you have to use your own.
Listen to your mother.
Money problems aren't solved with money. Money is only money.
Taking risks are the only way grow. But make sure to water your plants.
Drag Queen hairstylists get very pissed at you when you color your hair "out of the box".
Motorcycles don't like medians.
Nothing beats falling asleep with your best friend after taco bell and a movie.
You have the power to make all of your dreams come true.
Hard work and determination can get you every where you want to go...
...make the most of the time you have with those you love.
Love unconditionally.
The older you get the more thankful you will be to have those around who knew you when you were young.
Don't hold things over other people's heads. All that happens is that the things you thought gave you the upper hand and control have only turned into a noose by which you hang only yourself.
You never know what you have until its gone... like pickles, cheese, vanilla coke, and hairspray bands.
With all this information and all these years under my belt I feel like its time to make a difference. A difference in the lifes of others, in my own life. Undo wrongs that have been done. I'm always amazed at what happens when you take pride in the good things but keep pride from making things bad. Its never too late to do the right thing. There's no better time then now. Be all you can be. Do the best you can for all you can when ever you can.
You always have a choice.
21 YEARS BABY!!! WOOOOOO HOOOOO!
...must be the puppy chow.
