put that in your pipe

sorry for the ambiguity of my last post. i had a lot to say, but sometimes this forum is difficult. i don't share a lot with the "general public"...i prefer to keep most of my issues within the confines of the small group of people i trust. but, i really needed some way to vent without revealing a lot. the song lyrics that i used really reflected how i was feeling and i'm a big proponent of using other people's words to convey something i couldn't otherwise do on my own (as long as ownership is given, of course)

and continuing along those lines, it made me think of the amazing talented people that i'm surrounded by. writers, artists, musicians...all unique and they all inspire me to do more.

so that's what this here blog is about. showcasing my friends. (c:
