That time the Alien stayed up too late

I was thinking today about the phrase “movers and shakers”. Now, I’m not a writer and, quite frankly, I could say more in an excel sheet than I could ever say with a paper and pen, but there comes a time when everyone needs to turn to their own literary outlet to express their feelings. Whether it be a journal or diary, or even a blog, we all feel the need to reveal ourselves to someone. Now, I never complain about the choices I’ve made because they are just that, MY choices. But I began thinking about who, or what, are the movers and shakers of my life. Don’t worry, I’m not going to go into the in depth history of my life, but I wondered if I was able to pinpoint a recurring theme in my life that keeps me on track, and every time I look it seems to be some kind of companionship. From Matt and Matt when I was growing up, to the big switch from private school to public school and meeting the Dave’s. From starting college with my only close friend Andrew, to working on shows and finally meeting Bridgette. All of these people have helped shape who I am today. From an immature little boy playing with a Star Trek spaceship to the man I have become working towards a degree to make that ship fly, my life has been a beautiful journey. Yes, there have been some pretty HUGE bumps in the road, but there was always someone there to hold my hand over them. I thank God for the people who have come along to be the movers and shakers of my life, and can only hope that the future brings new and exciting opportunities for me to give back to the people that have given me so much.
