It’s true.

And I’m not going to go on all blah blah blah, touchy feely — But most of the time I really am happy. I have nothing to complain about… although, if you read this blog regularly, you know I’ll seek something out to beat to death with the annoying stick anyway. And those guys out there that trademarked the phrase “Life is Good” and started printing it on everything they could get their hands on — they weren’t just drinking the Kool-Aid… they were buying it, mixing it up BY HAND and then pouring it all over themselves while dancing in the desert somewhere with a bunch of other naked people. Right? Because if I were to “come up with” a phrase such as this and copyright… oh, let’s see, “Have your cake and eat it too,” you know you’d catch me just south of Moab doing the freaky dance. Because everyday there are people that drive really loud monster trucks up and down my street all day coining all kinds of phrases like “CAUTION, I’M A CRAZY REDNECK” and “KICK THEIR ASS, TAKE THEIR GAS” or my favorite “KILL DUCKS” — because, dammit, those Mallards are a real pain in the ass. All day everyday they drive. Sometimes really fast — and sometimes super slow… like they are just LOOKING for something toooo… do what with? Little men with big trucks and HUGE tires. Up and down and down and up… back and forth… just PROVING that they have the loudest mufflers IN THE WORLD. But now I’ve even lost the point.

Oh wait. Right… I’m happy.

I’m happy because I feel like the crazeballs few months of our lives are beginning to tiptoe off someplace else… and if I knew where they were headed… Dudes, I wouldn’t dare tell out of  fear that they might change their minds, return, and sit at my kitchen table complaining about the coffee situation. Because so what if I’m on tea these days… IT’S PERSONAL.

At any rate. Things are calming down. The company is closed — after I yell, graffiti, sing it from a mountain, and repeat like a crazy person “I CLOSED IT”… people are beginning to say “Ooohhhh, you mean you closed the company?”. I’m also designing a bit here and there on projects that actually make me feel like a designer, giving a big sigh of relief that there might be bigger things to come in the future. So, while Lady Gaga and Beyoncé think that they might have stolen the show on “confuse me one more time”, I’ll just be here grinning like the REAL chesire cat.. swinging in the cat bird seat, eating cake. 

Its been a few days now since Guest Birds have started landing here at For the Birds. I am both boggled and overwhelmingly flattered by the response that I have received. It’s been fun to connect with everyone in this new and interesting way…  Although, I do have to come clean and admit, however, that this was not originally my idea. Bloggers have been guesting or contributing since the beginning of Blognation… But it is unusual, perhaps, for a website such as For the Birds.

It all started when I was approached by a woman that is writing an allergy cookbook for kids. Those of you that read this blog know that this is a topic that I am deeply involved with so — it should come as no surprise that I rolled out the red carpet and agreed to have the author submit a guest post in promotion of her upcoming book. We emailed back and forth  – how exciting, blah blah blah… then silence. Nothing. Just my voice echoing in the caverns of the internet… I waited for two weeks and then emailed her again…

See — I am an avid scheduler. I even schedule things that have already happened. And then there is my patience and the lack there-of. So the relationship was beginning to itch a little when she responded – Next week she would be sending me her piece. Hurrah! Quick to the Internet – tell the world! And so I did … Well, either I took my wit and hit her over the head with a cinder block or Ooops, stuck my foot out and Whoops down the marble stairs she fell… Or… (read from the bottom up)

I was looking for the visual… and thanks to The Wavy Rule, I didn’t have to go far… http://emdashes.com/2009/01/presenting-a-steinberg-to-kick.php
