This is how I spent my anniversary:
Living a life of TEMERITY.
My 9 to 5 has me writing programs for the advancement of the automotive industry, but most days I can't wait to get home so I can work on other things. I'm an aspiring musician, graphic designer, and race car driver. To these ends: I'm in a band called Abernathy Road as a songwriter, vocalist, gutiarist, and pianist. We play shows in the LA area whenever we get a chance. I used to do Solo II auto-cross racing as well as bastard-driving in the canyons, but gas prices have kept me from doing much lately. Amidst all of this, I also try to have some semblance of a social life. I guess you could say my plate is always full, but that doesn't mean I don't make room for the people who mean the most to me.
I'm kind of a defiant bastard. I like to drive to the beach on a whim with a wine bottle to drink right next to the sign that says "no alcoholic beverages."
My Social Observations:
You have to be willing to fail.
Success has a lot less to do with how hard you work or how smart you are, but more to do with having the balls to take a leap that might cause you to fall on your face with the hopes that you might fly instead.
