Make it happen

      Everyone has been to the point in their life when you are just not satisfied.  Well I've been here on multiple encounters.  My most recent one, today.  Most of you know the events that have occurred in the past few years of my young life.  For those of you who are clueless, strap in, you're about to.
      June 30, 2007.  Pennsylvania to Texas.  That date marks the point in time where my life took a drastic turn.  Sometimes I think for the better, sometimes for the worse.  I spent my entire childhood in Pennsylvania. It was all I would ever come to know for 16 years. Moving to Texas was not only a broad change in scenery, but also the way of life.  I myself, had been changing after time had passed.  Again, sometimes I think for the better, sometimes for the worse. I'm not going to go into detail with the changes, (Some things are better left unsaid)  but I will tell you this.  I would not change a thing.
      In every form of transformation I have endured, I have learned something.  I would not be the man I have become today if not for these changes.  I'm proud of who I have become-so far, we never seize to grow.  The most important thing I will walk away with from this, is the insight of knowing what you have before it's gone.  That is all the light I will shed on that subject.  No sharing stories, no telling you what I've lost. What is there, is what you get.  Harsh or not. Some things are better learned in solitary.
      Now to the meaning behind the title.  When daydreaming, I become surrounded by my thoughts. Almost as if taking to a new world beyond our own-who doesn't? In this time of fool's paradise I found myself staring at my wrist.  On my wrist, a bracelet reading "Make It Happen."  Then as if waking from a slumber, I realize. How can you put a price on true happiness? Meaning, why do the things you dread doing, when you could put that effort into what you love?  The solution.  Do what you love to do the most.-Also an accessory I wear for a reminder.  And what you read just before this sentence, is exactly what I will do.  I encourage you to do the same.  Life, it's just to short.

Brothers to the end.

    As Drew stated in his post, my name is Cody.  Maybe you've heard of me, maybe you have not. That's beside the point. I'm not here to write a biography or tell you my life story. I'm here to express my views and outtakes openly for your entertainment.  Not everything I share with you will be agreed with - Which is obvious. With that said, let me begin.
    Now I know I stated I'm not here to tell you my life story. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't be filled in on a few minor details. Drew and I go way back. Third grade to be precise. Our interest consist in many of the same material- which is why we have decided to explore co-writing a blog together. To sum things up, our childhoods could be told in one shared story. Some of you may categorize our association as ''Best Friends.''  Which is perfectly fine with me. But to me, there is a point were best friends reaches an advanced level. Brotherhood.
     Drew and I both hope you enjoy our rambles and decide to follow us on our journey. We may not know were we will end up, but we do know one thing. This is our passion.

Drew Anderson

Hey guys, I'm Drew, some of you know me. I write for 3 other blogs and on this one I'm writing with my best friend, Cody Blair. We write, and it's what we do, and we do it, writing, 'cause we can. Cody, how about a word from you.
