DEAR DIARY

Dear Diary,

I can't believe it. It finally happened! After months of hoping that people were listening, I have the affirmation I've needed.

I am finally a genre.

And in related news, last night's fortune cookie read: "Your success will astonish everyone."

It's like something deep within me has finally been freed...on breezy late summer nights, I feel the wind whisper, through my hair, a greater, more essential truth than any I've ever known.

Success exists, it says. The future awaits. Which I interpret as "Book Contract To Come."

I'm glad my blog played a role in your reaching this zenith of optimism. May you enjoy much success and indeed earn a lucrative book contract.

Thanks, Sarah! And don't worry, I do know that there's more to life than lucre. But like the Beatles said, money can't buy you love or happiness, but it sure helps you pay rent. What? Not the Beatles? Well, they thought it, I assure you...

Don't you find that almost all of life can be boiled down to a phrase written by one (or more) of six noted 20th century poets?
(Lennon, McCartney, Jagger, Richards, Joel, John)

Perhaps, you could throw in that noted philosopher, Yogi Berra, but I would posit that most of what he said can be found in the writings of the others. Everything else is pretty much just filler. Thoughts?
