Ten months ago, I posted a story that still makes me laugh when I read it and I have had countless adventures since! Like the time Isaac and I erupted into a shouting match while poor Ken and Jonjon sat in the backseat, hungover as hell, huddled together like frightened puppies on our way to the Texas Reinassance Festival. Or when I finally convinced Isaac to move in with me only to realize that, once again, Isaac had to work the week of his move and so I was left moving everything (again, with the help of Ken and Jonjon--guardian angels if ever there were any.)
And though it reads as if I'm about to paint to a sob story here, let me say now that Isaac moving in has been such a blessing. I have always been a joyous person--not absolute joy, but joyous all the same; Isaac coming into my life has magnified that joy many times over. Thank you, Isaac--my seraph.
This April will mark my forty-fourth birthday and I have yet to contribute anything permanent in this society--well, aside from debt! (Bwahahahahaha!) But seriously, as many of my close friends know, I am a storyteller and, personally, I think I can spin a pretty good yarn! So inspired by my dear friend, Manny, who once said, "All the good things happen on even years!" (I'm probably butchering the hell out of what he actually said but what the hell) I am resolved to make this year: 2012--the year of my 44th birthday--be the year I make all my good things happen. This will be the year I begin "my" career as a writer, an artist, a creator!
Don't worry, Isaac, I won't quit my day job--not yet anyway. But mark the calendar! This is the day! Huzzah! Let us begin to spin that yarn!
