Who knew
Two years ago I had a plan - I was finally to go "pro" no day job - stand up comedy would be my sole sauce of income. With plans of moving to South Carolina Greenville, a place I fell in love with the moment I drove down Main Street. A walkable city with everything right there even a comedy club.
The south a perfect place to break into the comedy seen, with a thick Boston Accent - or New York, no one ever guesses Rhode Island, for the most part they don't even think it's a state.
Victor was getting job and together we will explore our next lives adventure.
That never happened, I didn't even come close. The path took a different direction.
Something that would change my life forever.
Over night changes are very difficult for most people, not me, I have become accustomed to them, in fact that is what make me thrive, the unexpected turn.
My life was never a "2 year, 5 or even a 10 year plan. That was that question on an interview I always hated, and really wanted to be totally honest, but instead I felt compelled to come up with some (bullshit) goals I knew was never going to happen. Once I actually told someone the truth on an interview; I would be able to give it 6 good months - but after that I'm sure I'll lose interest, I never got a 2nd interview, but seeing the look on his face was worth it.
My life was made up of gut instincts, and quick turns no one really expected, not even me. I moved to Houston Texas 2 months after I went there to visit my brother, while I was there I told him I hated it, and he should just come home. Six weeks later, I was living there. I stayed in Texas for 8 wonderful years. I will always think back on those years - as some of the best times in my life. For the first time in my life I was completely free, and no one could tell me what to do, I did exactly what I wanted, when I wanted and how I wanted. I had about 5 different careers made a lot of money and spent a lot more money then I made.
At one point the Lone Star State got lonely and I packed up and moved back to a place I said I would never return to, home. That decision took about a week, from thought to home. When asked I simply said "it was time"
