THE REAL MCFRO

hey there, its me again...sometimes when i get to thinking, i feel happy and sad all at once. a long time ago i used to think that everything happens for a reason, that its all mapped out for us in that big old study hall room in the sky. then i went through a period in my life where i beleived the complete opposite because of events that took place. now that i'm all grown up (so i think) i have realized that Forrest Gump and i think alot alike (insert giggle here) Mrs. Gump told Forrest that you create your own destiny, and Lt. Dan said that everyone has a destiny - that basically everything is planned out for you....Forrest said it best though "i think, its a little bit of both..." i like to think of life as a choose your own adventure book. life is a big outline, and we have to fill in the blanks! i think i may have said this before, but i'll say it again...anything worth knowing is worth mentioning at least two or three times. such is life. a bad thing happens, but you have to find a bit of good in everything. if you go through life only focusing on the negative...you won't have any time to appreciate all of the good things that happen. stop and smell the flowers, cause winter comes around real quick, and those flowers aren't in bloom forever! when life gives you lemons, make banana cream pie!!!! or lemonaid. i'm listening to Dave Mathews Band right now, and i really enjoy listing to them, because most of thier music reminds me of everything i've just typed...life is like a box of chocolates...you never know what you're gonna get! did i mention that i love that movie...Forrest Gump...its a great movie. and as yoda says, "there is no TRY, there is do or do not" do it people, just do it! and like my dad has always told me, " you can do anything if you put your mind to it!" this is true, for me at least!! thank you to all of those who have given me inspiration to live my life to the fullest!! another quote from my very best friend tar tar- "it gives you character" and i've never forgotten that one! please remember that you can't always get what you want, but you do get what you need! (rolling stones song) things are put on this earth for us to use to better our selfs or for what ever reason you want to beleive...i just hope that we all use these things for the good, and not the bad! and when it seems like things are going bad for you, just know that it will pass, and many good things are to come! i love you all- FRO
