I don't think that journey would of lead me to a tropical island and to live with these two beautiful women all these years (and two kids)...I'm not saying I'm rooting for the other side...I'm just sayin.....what you see as "pre-conceived" might be you'r desired destiny ...but it sure as hell don't have to anyone else's. Hey man at the end of the day all I can do is catch a few waves and stick my toes in the sand. try my best to keep my head out of the sand...and wake up to a happy family. I don't see how anyone would want to shoebox .themselves to such fundamentalist hoookim.
