More

I know I have not posted in a very long time. That is because school was winding down, I had exams, I came home, I wanted to spend time with the family and I wanted to just mentally deflate and reflect for awhile. And now I am ready to start this hunk o' junk up again.

I really thought about putting an end to this blog, because I really did not know what to write anymore. But I looked over two Facebook notes that I posted right after my Aunt Marilyn passed away and I was preparing to go off to college.

I was freaking out (naturally) because for the first time in my life, I had absolutely no clue what was in store for me. Long story short, I got over that whole "panic" stage and move on the "optismistic" stage. Where I have been for the past ten or so months.

That is until I heard an interview with one of my favorite actors of all-time, Gene Wilder. It was an interview that was apart of the 92nd Street Y Series. And it blew me away.

The interviewer's last question involved re-hashing one of Gene Wilder's most iconic lines. It came from the film The Producers, and the line was: "I want everything I've ever seen in the movies." The interviewer then asked Gene Wilder if he had gotten everything he wanted.

His reply, "More".

And that is exactly how I feel after my first year of college. I have gotten so much more that I could have ever imagined.

I got a job writing, I became a host of radio show, I became the Music Director of that station, I challenged myself, I never quit, I got my drive back and I am not going to stop anytime soon.

I do not know where that drive is going to take me. But I do know that my family will be with me.

After I typed that, I remembered one of the last conversations I had with my friend Will before we moved out. It was a sporadic talk, covering random subjects. But it started with the topic of becoming famous, and what we would do if we ever got large amounts of money.

Will gave his respone and I gave mine. And surprisingly they were similar.

But I only had two things on my list.

I told him that I wanted to buy a house for my parents and brother.

If I can do those two things in my lifetime, then I "made it".

And then I can say that I personally had Everything I've Ever Seen In The Movies...

And more.
