sometimes we go by life reacting to situations presented to us and in the process we become fearful of the outcome. what will it really be like now that we've reacted? now that we have information we didn't before.

fighting temptation is difficult. sometimes this fear we've developed isn't enough to keeps us from sucumbing. and so, the vicious cycle is born.

and it is not until there's nothing left to do but realize that we are the authors of our stories, that we realize that at the end the outcome will be a refflcetion of who we are. and what we portray to the others will always be what they see in us.

my 35th birthday is coming up on halloween. this year, i'd like to honor my dear friend Maickel Melamed by asking you all to check out Vamos Maickel and loging into the following page: http://goo.gl/5dofo
