Welcome to the life of Geoff Farnell, or at least a short variation of what it's like.

From a very early age I realized that if I wanted to have a relationship with my father I would have to take interest in what he did for a living. His life was and is work and therefor, my life needed to be the same. My father has done very well for himself and has brought both him and my mother into circles they are more than proud to be apart of. My mother changed, she used to be a doting loving mother who thought only of her children, and sometimes I feel guilty that I can remember her that way but Moni and Bastian can't. I was 7 when she made a change back into the working world, the twins were 2. They never got to see how much love she had for them, all they know is that they barely see her or our father and moved in with me.

I feel blessed to be in the position I am, I know that some people think I'm just this "trust fund" baby, and that's not true. I work hard. Yes, my parents set up a trust fund for me, but I did something with it, I made a name for myself and have made my own money. I'm proud of that. I feel like our generation tends to work and complain rather than work and take charge. There are grants and funding for everyone, but if you don't research it you can't apply and therefor cannot win. Did you know that there are thousands upon thousands of grants that never get applied for, and money just sits in accounts waiting until someone researches it. There are funds from foundations available to just about everyone. You can change your life, but you have to take a step outside of what you're currently doing and make it happen.

I have always wanted to help others. I know that my life isn't the same as everyone else's, which is why I have always done as much as I could to help where I can. I know how people look at me, I know what they say; mostly because I am friends with people who are friends with others who don't think too kindly of me. That's fine, if someone can't take the time to get to know me and what I'm about, that's thier issue. Some of you however know about my philanthropic endeavors. I have personally sponsored 4 well's, 3 children (though I really should have more), helped to build an orphanage in Rwanda and 4 homes in Puerto Rico. I donate time and money to a few local charities and have finally decided to start doing the investments I want. My father has always been of the opinion that investing money into someone else was always, always -- a bad investment. Invest in a current company, but never a person with an idea. I wholeheartedly disagree. Investing in the idea's of others is what creates a better lifestyle for the entire community. I am all for that. The work that I want.

I love my father, but we have a relationship that my siblings will never have with him. Why? They are stronger than I am, they have more of a backbone than I did at that age. I gave up my dreams of music and sports for what I thought I wanted ; to be like him. I can't get behind a man that is more interested in investing money in his children than investing time and effort, I just can't support him anymore. I wish he knew them like I do, I wish he knew what he was missing out on. They are incredibly talented, and are by far my favorite people. They are my best friends.

They are the reason I have decided to divorce my father.

It's not as weird and dramatic as it seems, it's a business divorce. Which unfortunately he's made a big deal. He doesn't support what I want to do with my life, and I'm finally okay with that.

So what is it that I want to do? I want to help people, own my own business, travel and play poker. I know that music isn't going to happen for me anymore, but that doesn't mean I can't help make it happen for others.

I have just secured a location that was currently for sale, and have bought it. More details to come (as I'll be looking for staff, etc). Secondly, my first personal investment into a person and their idea. Marty Cooper. I would also like to open a talent agency or music label in the near future, provided everything goes well with business I just bought.

Here's hoping I don't fail miserably.

Oh, and I bought Moni her first puppy, but I haven't seen it since we bought it. I don't even know if she's been named yet. I want to call her Zing-Zing Jedi.
