Posted 12:54 pm May 9th, 2008Dr. Beaman is right. Desire is all it takes. It's time to quit making excuses and just do it. I love this sight. Thanks Mr. Banana for showing the way.

Posted 4:06 pm May 8th, 2008What one of us can do, all of us can do...and George is only showing what we could all do with the years, the goals, the passions and drive we were born with, he is an example of what we can all be in spirit and how powerful we all can be in every minute we are alive...what are any of us waiting for? Do It.
