Today I am going to be experiencing a lifetime first.

I will be going to the eye doctor for the first time in my life today. I've lived 27 years and have never been, with the exception of the DMV...but they really hate their jobs and do not pay much attention to what's going on.
So this should be exciting. A guy in my office said that they will put weird stuff in my eyes that will make me blind for an hour.
HOW EXCITING!
I hope I pass, and I hope they tell me that I am special.
Cause I am.
And I can only imagine that the optomotrist's job is to tell people that they are special.
Eyes are the windows to the soul....so does that make them "soul doctors"?

This blog is dedicated to Mr.Caton Clark.

Congrats on getting your film into the Austin Film Festival!
Austin here we come!

Once upon a time there was a beautiful princess who could sleep in late, watch the price is right, and pet her kittens everyday.
She could do this because she had a trust fund.
And she lived happily ever after.


I wish I had a trust fund.

When my brother was close to being born my parents bought me a strawberry shortcake doll and a book about siblings to try and teach me the "you will not be the only one" lesson.
I loved the book they gave me, it was all about a big package coming to the house and the child can't wait to find out what it is...and what's inside.
He goes through all of the possibilities one bypassing the next in greatness.
Finally the mother opens the box and it's a stroller.
The gift isn't even for him.
It's for a new baby that's coming.

The child is stunned for another three pages when this is revealed.

Finally another package comes and the kid has accepted that it must be another stroller for this baby, and dismisses it.
The wonder of packages has worn off.

When his mother opens this package, out comes a brand new red tricycle!
And it's for him...everyone knows babies can't ride tricycles!
He gets on it and wheels all over town happy as can be.

Today.
I got a package.

It's not a baby, or a stroller, or a tricycle.

Today....I finally got an oven for my apartment. A big shiny brand new oven.
I've lived seven years without being able to make a turkey on Thanksgiving, or cookies for special rainy days, or cakes for birthdays.

Now...I can be a baker.

I'm gonna go ride that oven all over town.
