January
Well January sucked. Lots of financial set backs, lots of emotional setbacks. But lot's of good things as well.
I was watching a documentary from '96 about Steve Martin on the Arts Channel the other night and he was talking about how Sgt. Bilko ended up being a turning point for him. How it made him want to create something more his own.
Now I've always admired Mr. Martin. I've never been stuck in that --"Hey, what happened to the Wild and Crazy Guy, or the Jerk?" mode. I actually saw Pennies from Heaven in the theater. Moreover I liked it.
At any rate, I’m realizing that I’m very unhappy being a corporate guy. It pretty much sucks. I’m in the process of changing that but I realize it will take some time and effort.

Indeed...
Yeah, so yesterday was my birthday. I've always been one to sort of brush off birthdays. Never been a big deal to me. But turning 41 was just a weird moment.
I really didn't care for being 40. It was easily the worst year of my life. Lots of bad shit happened. Some that has yet to be resolved. Some that feels like it will never go away.
It's not that good things didn't happen in the last year but I've been hard put to really enjoy them. Got a kind of “sad sack”, “eeyore” thing goin’ on a lot. It’s not very attractive.
I'm hoping this year is better. Hope is always a good place to start.
