"Life," as Chaplin once said in an interview taken a year or two before his death at 85, "
is marvelous."
Well, his life
was marvelous, but I will mourn its passing just as much as he when my last days come. I only hope I am as old.
2007 was not a great year in many ways but it was a year of a few good decisions and I have made precious few in my life. It seems when life required me to turn left, I would turn right. And when life required me to turn right, I would pass out at the wheel like Crispen Glover in River's Edge.
But at least Crispen had that cool yarn hat. Life never gave me a hat that good.
When I reached the dreaded cardinal number that is the product of ten and four, I devised my own five year plan. I am pleased to say I am chugging ahead quite nicely. Slow and steady, as they say.
Though I have stopped all creative endenvours, maybe for good, I am at last on the right path. By the time I hit the mid-way mark I want to be Oregon, with a full teaching degree and in a house that I own with a dog and a rooster. Either that or a found bag of mafia money.
2007, as crummy as it was, was the first baby step.
