Forward

So, it’s New Year’s Day, 2022 and I’m watching a movie called Always Be My Maybe. The plot is irrelevant for the purposes of this Forward, but suffice it to say it’s a good movie and I’m enjoying it when all of a sudden, Keanu Reeves says something that really captures exactly what the last ten years of posting stories on my website and publishing books has been all about:

 

“See… that right there… is what it’s all about. Laboring in obscurity. Starving and struggling. The man who embraces his mediocre nothingness… shines greater… than any.”

 

In fairness, I haven’t really been starving and struggling implies some sort of effort, which has also been entirely lacking. But the embracing my mediocre nothingness? I defy you to name anyone who has embraced it to the degree I have.

Obviously, if that person does exist, I won’t know them. By definition, if they have even the slightest modicum of notoriety, then I win.

If I haven’t heard of them, I’m going to assume you’re just making up a name to be a naysaying tool. So, I win again.

This book doesn’t try to be as funny as some of the others, instead, exploring the odd in an attempt to get a certain part of your brain tingling.

Another attempt to shine.
