As far back as I can remember, probably around six or seven, I knew that life would be different for me. Didn’t know exactly how, nevertheless I knew that I would travel a road unlike what my parents destined for me. And as I grew and matured, it became all to clear that I was marching to a different drummer … my own.

Throughout my life’s journey, I’ve traveled, experienced much, and seen more than I probably should have. Some journey’s weren’t pleasant. Other’s I wouldn’t have missed for anything in the world. Some made me sad. Other’s made me happy ... a few extremely happy. And, yes, a few broke my heart. But no matter where I was in life, I always tried to make the best of it … good or bad.

Do I have regrets? Sure I do! If I had a chance to do it over again would I change anything? Honestly, no! Well, maybe a few things. But generally speaking, I wouldn’t change a single step. Why? Cause I believe that my journey was specifically designed for me, which in turn molded me to be all that I am today. Not to toot my own horn, but I have to say, thus far, I turned out pretty damn good … to some, better than expected (I guess this is a good thing … LOL). To other's ... perhaps not. But one thing I am certain of ... through it all, I remained true to myself and loyal to those I loved and cared about.

If there is one thing I wish, it is hoped that at my journey’s end it will be said of me that I made you proud! That you were proud to be a part of my journey. Proud to be a part of my life. And proud of who I was. Thus, “Do I Make You Proud?” is dedicated to all whom I’ve touched either personally or in personally. And to all who may not had the chance to know me or never took the time to know me, well, you certainly missed out cause I’m one hell of guy.

Until Tomorrow ...
