Couple of more things about me.
It's great to hang out with a bunch of young and hip folks like the members of The MIX. Kinda like being at the right place at the right time. I like to throw my experience in the fray every now and then, but, realistically - I KNOW - when it came to break dancing, throwing a funky beat, creating a work of art, or doing some serious acting and stage play, I would be on the side lines - the viewer, like anyone else.
I have friends who are very driven at what they do. Sometimes I feel like I brought a hand mixer to a "Will it Blend" exhibition. When that happens, I smile, become part of the background, and just count my blessings that I got this close to the action.
Being invited to be the First Blogger is a great accolade, giving to me by the S&Z. Almost feel like it's my turn at the piano after Alicia Keys, Marsha Ball, George Winston, and Liberace just finished, and my song will be two-finger Jingle Bells in the key of C#.
I like photography, and I have taken some great pictures in my time. I like photo-editing, and I am done some pretty neat stuff with Photoshop, and other tools. I like motorcycles, airplanes, fast cars, bling bling, latest electronics, and music.
But, one thing I have absolutely come to grips with is that I don't desire to be the best at anything. I am not that driven. I had the chance to learn tennis from the same coaches that taught Zina Garrison in Houston back in the 80's, but when I saw the dedication that was required to be top in the field, I had to resign. I didn't want to be pro, just get better.
Anyway, this isn't a downer blog, just a cynical one. What I do know is that I am good (very good) at a hell of a lot of things, but not the best at anything. I'm ok with that!
