I love to Write, and play soccer. Classical Music is a rediscovered passion thanks to my Dad. Heh, I love art. In my spare time I still play guitar and sing. Meditation and music is my way of escaping. I wouldnt say im extremely religious but hey I wont lie to you, Im very open about my religion. Overall I think I have a pretty good life, and I wouldnt trade it for the world.Because it shouldnt HURT to be a kid.

Conclusions of the past year.
Do what you do because you love it, keep it simple and youll have a good time with it, dont let anyone take it away or try to change it. If it brings you joy, then its fine the way it is, no matter what people say. What people say and what people do are two totally different things, dont depend on someones word just because they are the most honest person you've met. False hope is no consilaton for real hope. Blood is thicker than water, yet just as easily spilled. Everyone fights, and some wounds never heal. Dont waste time trying to convince everyone your right, really its not worth your time. Lets face it no religion gives you a right to preach like your God himself. Fighting over the little issues, leaves the big ones unsolved. While focusing on the bigger issues leaves the littler ones overlooked. The best answer sometimes is no answer. Inspiration dosnt always come from obvious places. Every once in a while youll find a friend who understands you like you were them and they were you, Its perfect pure and the best thing that will ever happen to you. Dont try to hide your emotions, that just makes things more complicated. People are jerks, enough said...but whatever you know. Words are nothing to get worked up over, even though more often than not your going to anyways.
The greatest inspirations.
Edith Sitwell-A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
Hermann Hesse-The farther behind I leave the past, the closer I am to forging my own character.
Harrison Ford-Things do not change; we change.
James Gordon-Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful it is threatening because it means that things may get worse. To the hopeful it is encouraging because things may get better. To the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better.
Andrew Carnegie-The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all men, charity.
Albert Einstein-Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.
Don Wood-Stupid is forever, ignorance can be fixed.
Abigail Adams-We have too many high sounding words, and too few actions that correspond with them.
Aristotle-All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsion, habit, reason, passion, and desire.
Carolyn Wells-Actions lie louder than words.
Dante Gabriel Rossetti-The worst moment for the atheist is when he is really thankful and has nobody to thank.
Eleanor Roosevelt-I think that somehow, we learn who we really are and then live with that decision.
Robert Fritz-If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is a compromise.
Arnold Bennett-Having once decided to achieve a certain task, achieve it at all costs of tedium and distaste. The gain in self-confidence of having accomplished a tiresome labor is immense.
Henry S. Haskins-Treat the other man's faith gently; it is all he has to believe with. His mind was created for his own thoughts, not yours or mine.
William Shakespeare-He wears his faith but as the fashion of his hat.
Charles Baudelaire-There exist only three beings worthy of respect: the priest, the soldier, the poet. To know, to kill, to create.
John Keats-Poetry should please by a fine excess and not by singularity. It should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost as a remembrance.
Henrik Tikkanen-Truly great madness cannot be achieved without significant intelligence.
Martin Luther King Jr.-In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.
Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.
Oscar Wilde-I adore simple pleasures. They are the last refuge of the complex.
My hero would have to be my father, David Gormong. Im proud to call him dad. Hes a guy thats not afraid when things get tough. Hes a leader, and hes teaching me to be a real man. Im looking forward to living life again, mostly because of his influence in my life.
