if it is in the right direction."
And with this self-conscious attribution to Winston Churchill, Wayward Gentry henceforth changes direction.
The quotes are out.
Yes, you read correctly. And yes, for those of you paying too much attention, I did change the blog's subtitle-- quotation is no longer a serviceable substitute for wit*, okay? There. That's that. I'm glad we got that out of the way.
Moving on... One week from today I leave for two months in Buenos Aires and from there I head to Barcelona for the rest of the year. Life is pretty damn good these days if you weren't aware.
Over the last couple of months, I have been giving you all the words of those who have walked dangerously close to the edge of truth and one day I hope to have done the same.
There you go-- my raison d'etre is now front and center. And, since you're reading this blog, I'm going to guess that yours is something similar. Sure, it's not exactly the same, and it shouldn't be, but in the end meaning is all any of us are after. You have to look for it each and every moment of your existence and even then, it's fucking tough to find.
But hey, you gotta' look anyways, and this is the beginning of my search. I hope you come along. Along the way, I'll offer you some words of my own. I can't promise you that they will be particularly illuminating but I can promise that they will be sincere and maybe, just maybe, the tiniest bit entertaining.
So, let's go. I'm tired of attributing.
*psst... Oscar Wilde.
