Changes

In the past few months, I've changed a LOT. A year ago, I would have shocked myself. I was really stuck in what I was used to, the more traditional things, and doing what I thought was right. Which is interesting, because isn't that always debatable? Depending on who you are, what your background is, what you were taught, the society you live in, "right" could be wrong. Anyway, this year was a time of just throwing everything away and embracing life. I got into new music, new movies, new TV. I started hanging out with people I never thought I would hang out with. My best friends became people that I never thought they would be. How does this happen?

I'll explain the title of this blogger thing. "Phenomenal cosmic powers! Teeny tiny living space." That's from Genie in the Aladdin Disney movie. I always loved that line. It makes me laugh (Robin Williams is the voice of Genie, of course it's funny!). My dad told me this past week that when he talks about me to people, that's how he describes me. Phenomenal cosmic powers, teeny tiny living space. And it got me thinking. I think that's how we all should be described. Everyone is just a loaded cannon of potential, waiting to be fired.

Question is, are you going to fire the cannon? Or will it just sit there and gather dust?
