On January 14, 2008 I uploaded my first video to YouTube. This is it! A Texas boy with a dream of setting the world on fire. I was up early this morning thinking about my life and all I’ve been able to see and accomplish against all odds. I’m from freakin Plainview Texas, and the fact that I’m here in LA is a miracle in itself. If I could give this halfway in the closet boy some advice I’d say... “Buckle up Toddy, the reality you’re living in right now won’t be your reality very very soon. Cherish the friends you have who love you for you because you’ll make a lot of “friends” who don’t. Spend as much time with your mom as you can because that will soon be a very rare occasion. Tell the boy you’re head over heels in love with that you love him because he’ll fall in love with someone who’s not afraid to love him publicly and you very well may never see him again. Trust your gut because Toto, we’re not in Texas anymore, and people will start to turn their backs on you. But in your new reality, they’ll find it fun to air your dirty laundry to the world. Stay true and remember your gift because that is undeniable. You are different, you are special, your brain is genius and the moment you truly realize that...you will be unstoppable.” I’m about to enter a whole new level, a brand new chapter of life. I feel it coming. Thank you to the haters, you have always been my motivation to kick into high gear. That’s how you set an Aries on fire. Mama’s about to shift into to turbo mode. You’ve seen a lot from me, but I haven’t even scratched the surface of what I’m capable of. Here’s to new beginnings. Happy Sunday.
