Some of you all knew this and some of you are finding out, for the first time. March will be the last month that I reside, in California.
Throughout my 30 years of existence, I dreamt of becoming a better person. I remember when I wanted to be a DJ and a stand-up comedian. Before I graduated college, I wanted to be a master of Horror. I spent seven years at Colorado State University-Pueblo and received a bachelor’s degree in Broadcast Journalism. Then, I barely graduated (2.7 GPA) but I did it.
I often spoke of the concerts I attended. Then, I bought an extra ticket to every concert for a friend. I never asked for a quarter and I just wanted them to have a good time. I wrote about Sasha, John Digweed, Nate Galusha, Justin Brown, Harley Westerholt, Russ Cole and Ty Tek. Close enough.
Before my three year residency, in Los Angeles— I earned the opportunity of a lifetime. I apprenticed for my favorite Master of Horror, Clive Barker. I’ve said this many times and I’ll say it again—he taught me how to write. I’ve learned many things from his former and current staffs. I learned to write Horror that was realistic, write fiction and how to make it personal. Clive granted me one of a few lifetime memberships to the compound and I became an official family member. Close enough.
The television show, “Martin”, played a huge role in my life. In my second year, I helped come up with comedic material for Martin Lawrence’s company, Runteldat Entertainment. I had everyone bursting into tears with laughter, with my ideas. It lasted four months and it was worth every second. Close enough.
I combined my love of writing and music and became a concert journalist. Then—God gave me the opportunity to see 50+ years of music, write 100+ articles and I only had to pay for parking and concert t-shirts. I stuck to a career that put my degree to good use. Karma. Close enough.
The moral of this story is that you cannot dream the same dream, whenever you sleep. You have to keep dreaming. I am going to continue this journalism journey and write 100 articles, in each time zone. Perhaps, write and publish more books. I was thinking the world but I’ll be happy with Denver, Austin and New York.
Close. Enough.
