I am so freakin happy and excited......and just proud.

Proud that a friend of mine, who is just 22, set his mind to do something...and he accomplished it, in less than 2 years he wrote a novel, and got it published....and it's good.

I know its good because I was one of the people who reviewed it, who read it when it was just words on a disk.

Brad has had a really shitty life...but it has not affected his spirit, his determination, his will to succeed. In class I was always in awe of him because he was so smart, so sarcastic, so...the polar opposite of me.

When I say the polar opposite...what I mean is the first time I met Brad, I knew he was smart, I knew he was sarcastic, what I didn't know was that he was a far right conservative. He is one person that I actually loved having debates with because he brought valid points and good arguments...

but he was open enough to listen, to learn, to look for answers on his own...instead of just going by what he has always believed or even what I would say.

Brad is still a conservative, but he is one who is very much for civil rights, for gay rights, and for a womans choice.

I am so proud of him...I just had to post the link to his first book, as I know there will be many more to come.

And Brad if you are reading this....get back to work on that second. Oh and hugs
