Put stars in their eyes...

I'm listening to Just Jack, Starz in Their Eyes song on the Overtunes album. The chorus line repeats, 'why would you want to go and put stars in their eyes?'...

As the father of 2 boys (soon to be 3), I take this question seriously. I want my boys to dream and reach... Dangers and risk is in everything. If you don't dream the risk and potential damage of doing nothing with your life is very real.

My mind jumps to Chris Farley (RIP) and his Saturday life skit as the motivational speaker. His anticlimatic speach when he tells kids that they're not going to amount to jack squat and they're going to end up smoking pot, living in a van down by the river.

Ohh... mmm... We miss you Chris!
