Todd Purnick

I have never sailed across an ocean. I have never driven over 120 mph, or drove a quarter mile in less than 6 seconds. I have never golfed at Augusta nor have I ever played a Par game of golf. I have never been scuba diving in crystal blue water, nor have I been more than a few feet under water. I have never flown an airplane and have never jumped off a cliff with a parachute. I have never found more than $20 and have never won more than $60. I have never farmed my own land to feed the masses and have never planted trees to help save the earth. I have never ridden a bull in a rodeo or crossed a mountain range on a horse. I have never eaten at a restaurant where the prices were not printed on the menu. I have never had my own television show or starred in a movie and have never walked down a fashion runway. I have never been to Europe or climbed Mt. Everest. I have never played on a professional sports team and have never been able to dunk a basketball. I have never been to Sturgis on a Harley Davidson motorcycle and I have never jumped the fountains at Casers Palace. I have never been game hunting and I have never owned a gun. I have never won a food eating contest and I have never had more than four hotdogs at one time. I have never been truly starving and have never been without water for more than a few hours. I have never asked a homeless person to come to my home and have never served food to the homeless during Christmas. I have never believed in a God that could listen to my prayers and I have never fell to my knees and asked for forgiveness. I have never watched a sunset alone and felt like I wasn't. I have never been truly scared for my life and have never threatened someone elses. I have never fought in a war and have never had to hide in a bomb shelter. I have never watched someone I love die and kiss them for the last time.
