Sometimes it can be hard because I can get paranoid about how things will pan out, but as Bill Hicks said &#8216;Life is just a ride&#8217;\u00a0\u00a0 www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iMUiwTubYu0<\/p>\n<p>I have a saying, `nothing is real, everything is possible`<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s 6:50am here and I went to sleep later than usual last night and have been up over an hour already.
