About three weeks ago during Sunday brunch with my family, dad asked us, "Do you know what your gift is? Everyone should know or find out what their gift is."

I had to think about it for a bit... I'm not sure if he expected me to know and say what it is right then and there... or if he expected me to say "playing the piano" or something related to music. I didn't.

I said, "Emoting. I think I am gifted in emotional expression." Maybe I'm wrong... but until I discover it's something else, that is what I'll believe it is.

Now to find a proper/fitting medium/venue/vehicle/instrument through which to dispense/disperse the expression...

If I stumble upon it in my lifetime, and I rise above the masses and achieve fame and acclaim, even but for a moment or two... while I'm in the spotlight, the limelight, a star... I will use the opportunity that falls into my lucky lap, which may be the only one I ever get, and may be fleeting... may last but for a moment, to show the world what I'm made of. I will not hold back. I will say whatever the hell I wanna say through whatever means helped me achieve my heights. And when I have the whole world as an audience, I won't give a stinkin' shit about what haters think or say about me.

(Heh. Now I'm also starting to sound a little like Eminem... Lose Yourself)
