"It's confusing and, at times, very discouraging when you're flying by the seat of your pants and just barely scraping by, not really knowing what's going to happen, where you'll end up, or why things happen the way they do. Sometimes there seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel and everything you try just withholds any result whatsoever. I hate the feeling of being out of control or not knowing exactly what could happen, but I have to say that when I am on stage with my best friends, my guitar in hand, whether there's 50 people or 5 people, I remeber exactly why I live the way I do and why the insecurities I face are ok with me. This is where I'm supposed to be regardless of whose in my way or what's happening in my life. I see people everyday at work who make a crap load of money but never smile or seem be having a good time. Where's the satisfaction in that? I know that God is in control of what happens, so what else is there to worry about. True happiness is sharing what you know with others and doing what you love with the people you love. I have so much to be thankful for." - John Presley
