Why Richard Marx is my favorite artist. I may neglect his stuff for weeks at a time, but when I really need music as a form of therapy, he usually has a song in his catalog that fits my mood, dead on.

Like today, on my way home from school. I have my "The Bitch" CD on in the car. On the CD, I have a copy of Richard's song, "Someone Special." That song is over 5 years old, but to me, it's still fresh and still hits home. I was crying during the song. But you know what, it just means it has a connection with me.

Some times, I wonder why I blog at all. I feel like I'm exposing my underbelly too much. However, I have to stop and think. At times, I am given a gift to express myself. I really am not alone in the world. Somewhere, there is someone feeling an emotion I have felt or in the process of feeling. Maybe one of my entries, or one of my poems, will help another person in their quest known as life. Should I not be able to help them in some way, even if I don't know it? Just pondering a thought.
