I wanna have friends.....like her

I wanna have friends that I can trust,
that love me for the man I’ve become not the man I was.

I wanna have friends that will let me be
all alone when being alone is all that I need.

I wanna fit in to the perfect space,
feel natural and safe in a volatile place.

And I wanna grow old without the pain,
give my body back to the earth and not complain.

Will you understand when I am too old of a man?
And will you forget when we have paid our debt
who did we borrow from?

Okay part two now clear the house.
The party’s over take the shouting and the people,
get out.

I have some business and a promise that I have to hold to.
I do not care what you assume or what the people told you.
Will you understand, when I am too old of a man?
Will you forget when we have paid our debts,
who did we borrow from, who did borrow from?

I wanna have pride like my mother has,
And not like the kind in the bible that turns you bad.
And I wanna have friends that I can trust,
that love me for the man I’ve become and not the man that I was.











So I really miss my sister...from 1500 miles away she knows just how to effect my whole week...surprisingly this time it was in the form of a song.  I will later swear that I told HER about this song and she will nicely agree but she and I will know that SHE told ME about this one. haha Like the Marlboro Light 100's haha  BUFFALO DEER!!!!


So my sister is the kind of person that will put an impression on your "soul".

You can trust her with everything you posess.  But she'll piss you off to no end when she tells you something that you need to hear but arent ready for.....


She truly loves me "for the man I've become AND the man I was...

She is the "perfect space"

i love you kass!

Alright let's give THIS a try. Hmmmm

Alright so I'm starting this blog, how do I start?  Maybe a little info about me and why I decided to do this?

Quick version is...my name is Mike Stallings I grew up in Kansas City.  I spent the first 30 years of my life (I'm only 31 now) trying to figure out what I wanted to do in life.  I think I figured it out. I am a Chef/Musician/Lover of experience, family, friends and life in general.  I've been in bands, cooked in a lot of restaurants and have done my best to live each day as if it were my last. I currently reside in Southwest Florida and am on the brink of realization.....at all times. haha

The point of doing this blog, I guess, is to allow myself to put some thoughts down in writing and to share my thoughts and experiences with friends, family and whoever else that is bored enough to read my rantings. I don't plan on going on any African jungle safaris or going to war or anything.  Just a regular guy trying to figure shit out about myself and life in general.

Just plan on hearing a lot of my thoughts, rants, writings, watch random music videos and anything else I decide to throw up here and share with the public.

Alright, that's about all I have for my first blog. haha Wish it could have been a little more insightful but give me time as I ease into this new "blogger" world.
