In my heart of hearts, I had always thought that I was different, perhaps let's even throw around the adjectives like "unique, special, one in a million", but until a week ago Sunday, I didnt realize how unique, how special, how one in a million-ie.
You see, when I sank down on my incredibly comfortable, brown polyester couch that evening, I had no idea that an emotional hydrogen bomb was going to go off. I didn't know that without leaving the soft embrace of my sectional from heaven that I was going to be taken on a journey, a journey that could rival Alice's trip down the rabbit hole or Gulliver traveling to the land of the midgets.
You see dear friends I was told a tale spun with suspense, the finest faux fur money can buy and heart break. I was told of a baby, a baby found off the shores of Mazatlan in a basket woven of rose petals and honey comb. A baby that had been given a better chance of life than being surrounded by the pressures of the future that had been in store for it.... or should I say in store for him. Yes, it is true, I was that baby. I was the one found washed upon the golden sand in a basket made of unusual materials to make a basket with. The truth is, I am not really a Bast, but through a series of highly complicated tests involving DNA, Photosynthesis and other un-explainable science we were able to determine, within these last few days, that I am actually the love child of Stevie Wonder and Julie Andrews.
How did it happen, why did it happen? Some cases are best left un-solved, but never the less this new revelation has certainly made things a lot clearer.
Well it didnt happen exactly like that, but this story seemed so much more interesting than what I was am about to say so... whatever.
Last Sunday we were sitting in my front room. My Sarah said, "Dude get off your butt, write a book"
My mom said, "Yeah lazy a$$, amount to something in your life." so I said "Fine" and I am writing a book.
I am about 25 pages in so I am pleased with myself, but still have about 70 thousand words to go, give or take a thousand here or there.
