It has recently come to my attention that I am living in a foreign country with exactly zero of my friends nearby. The most accessible friend is an eight hour plane ride away, which isn't bad unless you consider that it's actually really bad, hence realizing it is way more badder than you originally thought.
Through a tale involving sorcery and nudity I am currently living in Brussels, Belgium with my sweet man, Arnaud, who is both a sorcerer and nude. I am not working (unless of course you consider my daily workouts and dish-washing to be work, which I DO) and am devoting all of my time to learning French. Putain de merde. See? Already learned it.
It has also come to my attention that my lonely, isolated, foreign, happy, bizarre life is interesting. A friend recently told me that I "have so much to say." Rude. I think perhaps this was code for my friend telling me that my life is such a clusterfuck that I really should be making money by flashing my life-tits to the world. If so, that actually sounds much more appealing than being interesting. I'll take it.
So, in honor of ending isolation and flashing life-tits, I hereby renew my vows to my blog. Blog, take my hand. Good. Blog, we have been together for many years but for the past few I have really not been connecting with you on any level. I know you've been there, staring at me like a goddamn fool, never changing... I know you have tried to be available, but I just haven't given a damn, ya know? "Good-night, blog." I have seemed to say each night. "No touchy.... NO, no touchy."
Well, blog, it's time to touchy. It's time to get really, really dirty like we used to get. I'm gonna take you to a scary divey blues club and dance all up on your, block? blick? blody?, until I offend at least half the crowd and just when you think we're done I'm gonna, write another blog. Damn it. Analogy lost.
(give it time... I'm out of practice).
In recent years my blog has been primarily for posting photographs from my business and sometimes pretentious writing from my soul and nether regions. There will still be some pretentious writing (as the saying goes, "you can take the girl out of the pretentious writing, but you'll never take the pretentious writing...") and some photos, but the bulk of my 'advertising' will be on my business facebook page from now on. Information I share on my blog will be because I want to share it, so, I will be posting about all the important things in life: relationships, fly-fishing, music, ongoing face breakouts and how to pretend to manage them, Belgian beer, what to cook for dinner, how to make my apartment not look like a poor person lives here, etc.
The sun is out in Brussels today. The first time in a very long time.
