    I keep thinking of this question and different interpretations and answers are popping up in my head again. It seems as I have been gifted with a great musicians ear and the ability to play a variety of instruments. Perhaps, a purpose of mine is to play music, and possibly make a difference in someone's life doing so. I know I've already helped in shaping a few kid's middle school and highschool years by giving them an outlet to express their emotion while watching my band, so even that's a huge deal to me.

    Perhaps it is your purpose. Many of us confuse our purpose with our desires.

    To spread my seed far and wide.












    Honestly, I don't feel I have a specific purpose at this point other than to raise my son in the best manner possible and perhaps leave this world a little better than I found it.

    And you? Same question.

    So, you are the guy who keeps running past all the tables in McDonalds slapping burgers out of people's hands. I wondered who dropkicked my shake last Wednesday.

    Better all around. I was not complaining about my life, I'm happy, I just love my son and want nothing more than for him to be happy and have everything he needs.

    Edit... Had I tried to answer this question 2 years ago, I don't know what my answer would be. But now, I just look at my son and nothing else matters.
