Back in the House.

Suffice to say I been through some shit lately, and this blog has been the last thing on my mind. When my thoughts did finally roll around to it, I was afraid of what I might write. I figured my commitment to writing that is real, that is raw and personal, would get me into trouble. Then I remembered at some point that getting in trouble is basically a fake idea, and I looked up and looked around and found myself doing not to bad. Pretty fucking good, actually. Great even. I’ve come home to live with my brother and his housemates, dear friends all. They found me a spot and built a wall, took me in and fed me well, gave me beer. This is a place where meat is smoked, where wine is drank while fires burn. A place where someone says “brisket nachos” and soon they are being made. The sink is always full of dishes, the fridge full of deli cups of mise. There is late night laughing and dogs; a constant roiling mass of fur and barking. Breakfast will sometimes involve ice cream. Things are created for the internet at every turn, smart phones are always out and a subtle finger tapping can be heard late into the night. Vegetables are cultivated in the back yard. The transition into the next phase of my life has been in spite of everything, pretty painless. Except for all the pain of course. But that’s life. And show business. And we all live to fuck it up another day. Thanks to all of those who have been there, you’ve always been there haven’t you? You know who you are. Thanks to my dogs who’ve always kept their tails wagging. Thanks work, my sanctuary, my safe haven; slaving away slanging treats saves me. Thanks to my parents, who love me no matter what. I must be a good person because I am surrounded be good people. Last but certainly not least, thanks to my faithful readers; whom I know hell of represent. Oh yeah and whiskey, can’t forget whiskey.
