The Family Object
 My
object is a motorcycle and the message is “Viva Las Vegas!” I am an
orphan. I am satisfied with my life as a human Las Vegas, having no
past bloodline, and no future bloodline. I begin and end with me
right here right now. Like Las Vegas, I morph with the now, I leave
behind what has past, and grow fast and furious into the future.
The motorcycle is my representing object because it is the one
constant that has remained through the many phases (or “nows”) of my
life. Whether I was touring the country alone, in the Air Force,
body guarding for strippers, or getting married and going to
college, I have ridden through it all. This object has power for
me. It shows independence. It embodies my free spirit. It is a
metaphor for my desire to be in touch with my surroundings rather
than safely boxed away from reality. It allows me to speak with
strangers, and gives me a loose camaraderie with thousands of others
that share the passion. It is a symbol of the Utah Clan. It is
part of my life, and a part of me. My ride may change over the
years, but the soul of two wheels remains. This is what is
important to my family. |
