I think the American Dream says that anything can happen if you work hard enough at it and are persistent and have some ability. The sky is the limit to what you can build and what can happen to you and your family.
I feel akin to the Platypus. An orphan in a family. A swimmer a recluse. Part bird part fish part lizard.
It is awesome to feel you are carrying on the family name.
I bought a lot of rubbish things that kids buy: skateboards and clothes and typical teenage stuff. And as soon as I could I wasted a lot of money on cars - BMW's mostly - for myself and my family.
I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart.
As a child the family that I had and the love I had from my two parents allowed me to go ahead and be more aggressive to search and to take risks knowing that if I failed I could always come home to a family of love and support.
My other family is Fleetwood Mac. I don't need the money but there's an emotional need for me to go on the road again. There's a love there we're a band of brothers.
My family isn't really all that different from anyone else's. Well maybe they're a bit more entertaining.
If you have issues with family friends and people at work try and solve these issues head on so you can move on and concentrate on having the life you want. Think about what you can do so that you are happy with yourself - for instance eating right to feel great and energetic.
I want to make sure my family's straight.
