what does one say on these things? i dunno but i'll begin with my rant and perhaps i'll find my voice along the way. to be able to express my thoughts and sentiments with a little more clarity and focus, instead of all these random thoughts running about my head, jockeying for position, wanting to come out in the form of verbal expression only to be surpressed by self, fleeting or lingering somewhere in there.
well as with most people these days, things are tough. i find myself for the first time at home alone. not that i have ever stayed home alone ever. this time, i am alone because my wonderful wife just started working at her new job. and i here on the couch, freaking out. you see i had a little accident recently, which cost me the use of my right hand. being that i have worked in the warehouse industry for almost 20 years, i now find myself unable to work. lord knows i've tried to return, tried to get into paperwork until i can make a recovery from this, but to no avail.
we tried to make things happen for ourselves. you see we had our own little bookstore recently (Cliff Notes Bookstore). it was a long held dream of ours. we both had worked for another local bookstore, who over time became more and more about corporate identity and market domination, that they eventually lost their soul. we left struggled and still do to this very day. but managed, with a little help from our friend richard, who i'll get more into detail about later, started our own bookstore.
to make a long story short, we held on for two years. we are in fact still in the process of cleaning our books and stuff out of the store still. it was a great little store, i will miss it. but you can scratch one thing off my bucket list, and owning our bookstore was one. times are a changin'
