Fame - I'm gonna live forever

It's been over two years since my last blog.... and - like everyone else - a lot has happened since then. I've had my friends yank the rug out from under me, but maybe I deserved it. I had an idea that the experiences we have shared, our good times and bad, would make a hit television series. I thought it could benefit all of us, make us famous and earn us lots of money. Of course it's would take lots of hard work and is a long shot, yet I firmly believed we had a good chance.

What I didn't realize was the commitment I was asking everyone to take, and that not everyone is willing to take it, despite the potential rewards. To become famous means giving up a certain anonymity. I was seeing it like Irene Cara's song, Fame: "You can shoot me straight to the top, give me love and take all I got to give, baby I'll be tough, too much is not enough.... baby, remember my name." But maybe they were listening to David Bowie's version: "...it's not your brain, it's just the flame, that burns your change to keep you insane - Fame."

Clearly I do not know what is best for everyone, although I like to think I do. Isn't it always easier to give advice and live our friend's lives as if they were our own?? Anywho - for the future I will try not to push my friends into something they're not ready for. I still believe in my idea and will continue on my own from here. And if my long shot does pay off, I'll gladly share it with my friends.
