..Think before we speak? I know I am often without a filter. But how many of us actually KNOW what it's like to be the fat kid, the skinny kid, the weird kid, the goth kid, the socially awkward?

Above all I've developed a less than common outlook on life and perception of things.Don't for one minute misconstrue, I'm in no way a victim, I'm self-sufficient almost to a fault and encourage others to turn their weaknesses into empowerment. It builds character and makes for one hell of a screenplay ha! That combined with growing up immersed in a semi-charmed world, and the glitz and glamour of Hollyweird leads to some interesting anecdotes...Here are my thoughts...
