Yo yo yiggity yo....
Hey peeps... I know it's been a while... hope the past 6 months have found you all in good health and spirits. So, I know you are all wondering about the reason for my prolonged absence. As always, real life has a pesky way of getting in the way, but that's not the only reason I have to offer. Seems I've come to the proverbial fork in the road (so to speak)... You see, my story has been in the process of being converted from a novel to a screenplay. Can you believe it??? I mean, ME!!! In the movies....!!!!! It's a long and arduous process, and, as a result, my story has changed a tad bit. Don't worry... I'll get you up to speed... all in due time! In the meantime, there are words in a story that you just can't find in a script, and since these words might be ixnayed in the silver screen edition... I wanted to leave you with some of my famous last words from the book edition. They are my favorite quotes and contrary to popular belief, I think they hold a lot of wisdom. Thanks for checking in and stay tuned.... as Arnold would say... I'll be back!!! Cheers...
“There are few things on this earth that can make me cry.
The slow, drawn-out roll of a cello. A single, lonesome
strum of a guitar. A beautiful waltz. Seeing my uncle
crumble like a deck of cards.”
“There are different degrees of missing someone. You
can miss your girlfriend, when she has to work late one
night and is not there to take your phone call immediately
when you find yourself in the middle of some silly crisis.
You can miss your dad, who died too early in life but it’s
just something you’ve learned to live with. Or you can
miss the outline of your lover, lying next to you in bed
and caressing the trace of your palm like it was the most
natural thing in the world. And in that moment, I missed
Jack. I missed him so intensely and so acutely that it
actually hurt to breathe.”
“I brushed by him and ran down the stairs and out onto
the street. I gulped in the fresh air with huge breaths,
trying to stop my insides from collapsing . I didn’t know
where I was going and I didn’t know if Jack had followed
me outside or if he was yelling my name in vain. A part
of me was afraid to look back; both because I was afraid
he would be there and because I was afraid he wasn’t. I
just ran. I ran and ran, trying, I think, to outrun the
burden of my penance.”
“That’s it for now. Everything else is a work in progress.
One thing I’ve learned is that you take each day as it
comes, and when you least expect it, life usually
surprises you. And when things don’t work out the way
you planned, hold on tight and enjoy the ride. You just
don’t know what’s waiting for you around the corner.”
