The tittle says it the best... Oh how nice it is to be amazing! I promised y'all something amazing so here I am... I'm here to show up.
I'd first off like to thank the things that make me amazing... What is it that makes me amazing? Well besides the never ending supply of smiles, jokes, laughs and happiness. Let's just say it's the prodigious characteristics that best describe me.
Ok in all seriousness... My head's not really that big, it's bigger than you could even imagine. Now that I got this nonsense out of the way what truly makes me amazing would have to be best said as the amazing people that are in my life. If it isn't my beautiful mother, my amazing twin sister, my most adorable nieces, the crazy ex girlfriends that always find their way back into my life, or one of the many people or things I've forgotten to list here, let me be first to apologize for my inconsiderateness.
So what's the real big idea behind all of this? Life. Life is the big deal behind this. The last three months have been the most sobering months, literally... Quick somebody get me a drink so I can finish this. On second though better make it an apple juice. That's it! I think next time I'm at the bar I'm going to give my swaggering grin that you all know to well at the bar tender; male or female, and say "Hey, let me get an apple juice..." Better yet maybe I should slyly slip the bartender a five and whisper "I like my juice on the rocks." I'm sure I'd be pussyfooting around the bar all night after that.
So back to this so called "LIFE" we're talking about. Being the beginning of a new year, which I've coined the phrase "Divine in 09" lame yes I know but nothing is as "Great as 08" so it'll just have to do for now until something more crafty comes along.
As a new year reins in, one is brought to acknowledge the past 365 days and ask what the F%*^ did I accomplish. I'm not going to sit hear in throw up into your laps the things I accomplished this last year I'm just brought to the sobering thoughts of what I didn't accomplish. Does that ever happen to you when you set a lot of goals and then you do nothing to achieve them. I'm reading a book (bite me yes I'm reading a book) that talks about not only setting goals but yet how to achieve your goals one day at a time. So one day after reading I let my fingers and google go on a date and looked into goals and achieving goals and all sorts of things and found a quote that I liked;
*Nothing happens unless first we dream.*
Ok I'll have to admit I dreamed about you last night just don't tell your husbands if you're married. It'll keep this fictional relationship a little more alive inside this make believe world. Ah yes, to my mysterious Abby, I also dreamed of you last night. No tail goes untold for we all shall meet one day, for the warm sunny air you breath in PHX, I too as well breath that air in New Bern. Except mine kind of smells like the ocean. Maybe we should be friends on the "book of faces", maybe it's too soon for that.
So how do we live our lives to the fullest degree each day. How about we wake up for starters. Not just wake up, but when I wake up each morning breathing I think "hell yeah, I at least got one more day." So as I referred to setting goals and achieving them I ask, have you made any goals for this year. When you make your goals for this year actually make them. Don't just say this is what I'm going to do... Then sit with one thumb in your mouth and the other in your... Ask yourself how the hell am I going to do this? I did that this year and it sparked this life opening epiphany where it's almost like I could see into the future and see what I should do with my life and how I should do it. Now I need to just execute all these things and I should be alright.
So to those of you who read this I wish I could see your smiling faces once more... It's been to long, and the memory of your beautiful faces are beginning to smear as the watercolors on a canvas... Maybe I'll hop on a jet and see you tomorrow. Look out for me, I'll be standing on the corner holding a sign that reads "SUCCESSFUL MAN LOOKING FOR THE LACKING COMPANIONSHIP OF OTHERS" or maybe that would be to much, how about something like "SOMEBODY GIVE THIS DOG A BONE" Who knows maybe I'll live it all to surprise.
As always... This heart to your heart!

Adam! I love reading all of your thoughts and incites! Keep up the good work! (Sorry, I posted that earlier, but Blake was signed in so it showed up under his account...anywho...)
greetings phelps. as someone who knows BOTH the mysterious and wonderful abby AND the unnamed and beautiful and amazing ex-girlfriend that always seems to be coming back into your life (which i believe is probably the best part of your life) i feel like we should probably meet. i have also met your friends stevie and magoo. so i feel like i know you already. anyways, i would like to formally introduce myself. my name is ASH! HI!!
I truly do hope I see you on the highway with that sign out, it would make my day!!
And who knew you had a TWIN?!?! Sister yes, twin no. What was up with that?! Miss you dude, hope to see you soon as well :)
It's never too soon to be friends on Facebook! And may I just say also that you should write a self-help book and put your optimistic poetic words to good use. Self-help books are my favorite; however, I don't go public with this because it's always a pathetic feeling when you're in the self-help aisle at the bookstore, right? (Hence today's experience with The Man Plan, as seen on The Bonnie Hunt show.)Think about it though. You could go on the Today show and talk to Meredith about how we can all be amazing!
I seldom leave comments on blog, but I have been to this post which was recommended by my friend, lots of valuable details, thanks again.
