This is a bit premature; it, as an abhorred mirrors reflection of myself, is early, enthusiastic, and eye-rollingly naive. It is also, as are all products of my labor, mind and hand, true-painfully true to myself, honest, and heartfelt. Also: self-important. See? Honesty. The year 2014 was the year of the fight. It was the year of the chase. Of bruised body and ego. Of stumbles, tumbles, leaps and lovers. Sighs enough to power a zombie HIndenburg with an equal amount of namesake volatility. Oh the humanity! Chortling enough for decades worth of artificial, cheesy sitcom laugh tracks. Tears enough to raise the L.A. rivers water level so high as to put to bed the myriad of gangland graffiti struggles. And hyperbole; lots of hyperbole. But the fight was real. So was/is the knowledge that I went forth into this world that loves to so hold down its beautiful dreamers, and I pushed up and onward with every newton of force that I could generate. This year I set an example. I set eye upon prizes twice sparkling and thrice guarded, of prizes invaluable and inflated, and I boisterously cajoled, stealthed, winked, and guffawed myself into worthiness. Some baubles last, and some precious lost. And at no point, after unbottling the djinn, did I wish for more wishes. Expletive. Err, expletives. All of them. Profanity born in awe and not frustration. I wish that I could tell you each how amazing you are, one at a time-at the perfect moment, with specific details and grin-widening accuracy, and have you plant that seed deep within your breast, only to grow into a beautiful forest of yourself. But I cannot. But I will try in coming days and hours both too early and too late. Because the things worth fighting for, this life, its beauty, our opportunities to be unlike no other--these things are a gift beyond all value. The list of people, places, and things so worthy in this world as to fight for them with every subatomic iota of ones being is too lengthy to ignore. Promise. youtu.be/e8dgvZ-s8ts
