You ask yourself, how can I help, how can I make a difference? Well, I can tell you one man can make a difference, be it by voting, saving a life, or bringing a life in to the world.
You see, I hate it when I hear someone say that "One man can't make a difference". It is hog wash, you can if you just try. Hell, you may have already made a difference and don't even know it!
When I think of the saying "One man can make a difference" I think of the old NBC show "Knight Rider", which is coming out with a new movie tonight. I'm not sure what to expect from the new movie, but I learned that one man can make a difference from Michael Knight!
After watching that show when I was younger, I did things a little different after that. I wasn't able to kick butt and take names like Michael Knight, but I knew I could make a difference in other ways. I decided to become a Big Brother! This changed my life and the child's life also! One person did make a difference and I was that one person.
I've since coached little league baseball and softball and hoping that I can, once again, change a child's life and be the one man that can make a difference in a child's life, be it giving them self confidence or just someone to talk to other than their parents. Sometimes that is all it takes to make a difference in a life.
So, whether or not you are going to watch Knight Rider tonight, remember go out and do something different this week, and remember that one man can make a difference.

The guy that was in a band and started live aid was one person that raised 1.5 million in one day to feed the hungry!!!! Do you know who I am talking about???? Hint: There is a song about him now that is popular in the top 20......????
Live aid happens every year and each year more money than the year before is collected to feed the hungry and this is what one man started.........
Dwayne - Glad you enjoyed and hope it inspires you to do something out of the ordinary.
Jennifer - His name was Bob Geldoff, I don't know the new song as I've been retired as a DJ for 3 years now. But, Bob Geldoff was the song writer and singer for a little known group (at least her in the US) called the Boomtown Rats. They were best known in the US for their hit "I Don't Like Mondays"
Here is the video
PJ - Please go out and make a difference in someone's life yourself tomorrow!
Judy - I hope many as I really do enjoy making a difference.
Cory - I'm glad you came by and please feel free to share with others.
Susan - I'm glad to have done it!
Roberta - Not any more, just got done watching the new one and I was shock to see the Hoff man at the end saying "One man can make a difference"
Hi - Knight Rider may be a show on TV but the theme is true...each person can make a difference.
I'll become a regular Knight Rider watcher - - just like I was the first time around.
Todd, I firmly believe that one person can make a difference. Differences can be small in notice or attract world attention. They all count. Thank you for being a Big Brother. That is an awesome responsibility.
Jennifer's example of Bob Geldof is a great one. My daughter did her history competition entry on him and made the finals. The theme was one individual that made change. I'm very proud to say that I taught my kids the good things music has produced in our cultures as well as about the music itself. She learned about Live Aid because I was there at the concert in London in 1985 and she was getting excited about the Live Eight concerts. One sick and tired Irish guy, Midge Ure (Ultravox), talked to a very loud, sick & tired Irish guy (Geldof) and Live Aid was born. That is amazing. Don't forget Rat Trap!
I am really enjoying your blog, Todd!
Joe - I know I was a little disappointed with that being I loved the original and I've owned two 1969 mustangs, it was a tough decision to watch.
Jeannette - I enjoyed the show, It wasn't what I expected, probably could have been better, but enjoyed it just the same. A little violent to be showing my kids, but that had to write it for today's audiences.
Marzena - I like the pebble comparison, never thought about it that way. Thanks!
Barbara - Me also, I have to admit I loved it. I've been renting the old ones on Netflix to watch with my six year old son. Six Million Dollar Man is next - lol
Denise - I'm glad you have been enjoying my random thoughts, I call my blog my puke blog, and whatever comes up gets posted! I'm glad you are enjoying though!
Harley - Did you watch the Mythbusters last week? They had a special on McGyver show myths, it was really pretty cool!
Elaine - The Big Brother things was one of the best years of my life, it really actually helped me as much as it did that kid, we still talk from time to time.
By the way that is really cool that you were at that 1985 concert, I bet your daughter think that is pretty cool also! I'm glad you enjoy reading my blog, it is full of useless stuff as well as some things I find important to me that hopefully get me business!
Todd,
Coming across this post is really funny. My wife, my son and his wife, and I just had a discussion last night about when KITT came to town for a visit to RAZMATAZ in Milan, Illinois. My son was about 10 so it must have been around 1987. What memories, what memories!
Lucky :)
Lucky - You got to see the car in person...I'm jealous! That was an awesome car, I think I just came up with a new goal to add to my bucket list...Build my own KITT!
Susan - Can't argue with that, you certainly picked the one man who did make a difference in this world. Now, if we can convince others that they can make a difference also we will be set!
We each make a difference in every action and every word we speak - the energy of everything we do goes out into the world, malinmg it better or worse.
Terrific thought
Deborah - I'm glad you liked, now let's both go out there and make a difference!
Paul - I'm hoping I'm changing people one blog at a time!
Tina - I love coaching baseball and softball and taking a little boy or girl that doesn't want to play for what ever reason and making them have fun and by the end of the season, not want to go home! I then know I've made a difference to this child and taught them about team playing!
