I recently read Aldous Huxley's 'Island' and found a quote I love. "If you stay out of your own way, you won't get in anyone else's." - updated 3 months ago

About me:: I am a medically retired disabled veteran. I saw ZPZ's December 2010 show in St. Louis at the Pageant. That show changed my life. I decided to learn the guitar as music therapy after seeing that show. My condition makes a lot of things hard for me. In the years ahead, I plan to study guitar at a music academy close to me, take some Berklee online courses, and attend one of Dweezil's camps. I have been a fan of Dweezil's since passing Havin a bad day around my circle of friends. I don't get out much anymore. Music is my vehicle.

Hey! Have been away..having a great Christmas and New Year, Frances' Birthday. Doing the day to day...in LA makes it hard to keep in touch with people some times(we have to drive so freakin much!) How was Christmas? Have been learning more Astronomy stuff, and please check out my Update-a friend on KickStater has been documenting the Occupy Movement, she's done some really nice work.

Michael,

Stay in touch with me. So nice to meet you! Sounds like an interesting life.

How old are you may I ask?

Blessings,

Cosette'

Indeed, great quote. Too bad other people don't know how to take advice when it is only meant to help. :)

It is a crime that it takes so long. I suppose this part of the price for having a smaller government. There has to be a better answer than making people wait longer.

Anyway I am glad that things are slowly moving for you and hope that this resolved in a way that helps you the most.

Take care.
