Viewed in Wonderland: The beauty of adoption

I saw this video on rockstar diaries and had to share it. Please take the time to watch it.

My father was adopted and so was my uncle. They were both born in Japan to parents who weren't ready for children. Adoption is such a beautiful way to grow a family.

I'm sending lots of prayers and love to this family. Support adoption.

This year will be a great one. I'm sure of it. I have a bunch of things I want to work on this year. I have a few projects I want to work on that I'll be sharing as they materialize. They aren't all that serious. I want to actually learn how to play my bass, the one that is collecting dust. I want to perfect my wonky latiya and learn a few more local dishes. And the other projects I'll talk about later in the year.
