I like to do a weekly thorough examination of Ameoba Record Store just to make sure everything is still where it belongs. Crawling out of the hole that I was born into. Sustaining friendships. Breaking habits then falling back into them. Understanding the choices that people make. Understanding the consequences people have to wake up to. Listening to peoples' regrets and even my own. Daydreaming, I mean "creative visualizing" about my future, how I'll get there, and what my past has to do with anything.
I have some of the most amazing people in my circle of friends, and I don't thank them enough for being as good, influencial, and supportive as they are to me. All of them are truely creative in their own individual ways, so I guess i'd like to meet more people like them.
And Little Richard, because we all know which day he was born on. Amen.
