A few years ago, I returned to my monitoring cell in Beverly Hills and saw the sun setting over the swankiest zip code in America. I was confident in the future, and I was making it happen. A self-referential moment, I liked where my life was headed. It was a step up.
And then, right after I took a step up...I fell down the flight of stairs.
And now, after all of the bullshit, I begin again. Not doing the items of the past, but the goal all along. Future-thinking, forward-thinking, all that shines. I haven't had to live as much of a shell game as right now, but at least it's a game. At least you get another chance to win...or keep playing.
As I've said in the past, in this town, what you do is the 2nd, sometimes 1st question people ask (so they can judge and rank you, of course). But if you want to live in polite company and not tell people to shove off, so it goes.
It's great being normal again. Now, on to the list. New desk chair? Yeah, but...look, 1984 Stars in Motion LA Olympics T shirt. And...purchased.
