Too much bread...
In my life, I feel like I have dipped my toes into several waters, trying to find where I feel the most comfortable, or searching for the waters that interest me enough to swim in. After treading several waters for a time, I often feel like butter scrapped over too much bread. Most of my arts are hard to master because I drift off to something new and different. Even though I can often times become proficient in my new task, it is never enough to suit me in order for me to become a master. They end up more like hobbies. I guess if i just know at least what I plan to do with my life, I can have as many hobbies as I want. Why not try everything once, and the fun stuff twice? Maybe, in retrospect, my hobby is to build a resume of hobbies to my leisure. To test all of the waters and to try something new every day. Why try and settle down on one thing when I am free to have adventure and seek out the world? And who knows if I will ever become a master of all the waters I happen to swim in. Probably not. But I will enjoy every step of my epic journey and try my hand at as many tasks as I can. Though I may be "the Cage", I am not caged in...

Now is the time...
In time, all boys must discover what it takes to be a man. Even now, I am still learning what it truly means to become a man. The journey starts out with the inciting incident; The moment where you must leave your comfort zone. The moment where you must pass through that threshold. The moment that changes your life forever. The moment when you are called to do something EPIC! On this journey, you will meet several new characters in your life. Some will try to help you, and some will try to harm you. Either way, you have a goal, and you must push forward. What is your goal? Your goal is to find your ultimate boon. It is the one thing on this journey that will change you from a boy, and into a hero. With this boon, you will bring it back to where you first started from and share the knowledge of your findings. But don't be overconfident. Because the journey there is not as easy as it seems. You will have to face many struggles and dangers that you are not yet able to overcome. But in time, you will grow stronger and wiser, and slowly overcome each obstacle one by one. Then, when you think you are unable to take anymore, one more final obstacle is keeping you from your holy grail. Here, you must use everything you have learned and finally make a decision to fight, or run away. This is the moment where your one doubt must flee your mind, and transform you into a hero. There is no doubting whether you have become a hero or not. That you will know the moment you have your big boon! And you will either win the girl, or defeat the bad guy. But either way, your hero's journey will transform you into a man. You just have to accept the call to action.

And so, a new journey begins!
I am Cage, and my life is filled with incredible things. There is never a dull moment, and there are always EPIC times. In those epic times, I have grown, and increased in wisdom. About life, about love, about joy and sadness.... And in those moments of enlightenment, I have come to embrace in what my heart seeks out: The magic, the energy, the memories, the strength, the joy, the love, the epicness. But most of all, the passion!! Passion is what guides me through my life. It takes me to where, deep down, I want to be. And I use that passion like an uncontrollable wildfire, and spread it everywhere, leaving my mark every journey I take. Those that come near me breath the smoke that comes from the flames of my desire. Failure is unacceptable, as well as the loss of your passion. For without passion, no man would desire, and no man would achieve greatness. In my days, when my heart seeks out what I come to embrace, it is just that, that I have strived to embrace: Greatness! In the days that will follow after me, I will leave everything that i have worked for to those that follow. And who knows what they will do with it, and if they will have the same passion and desire or if they will wollow in loss. But my flames will cause change in the hearts of many that will not easily be erased from time or space. So begins my new journey today, and a start of my legacy.
