Having made it through one of the worst years of my life, possibly the worst decade of my life I am ready for yet another new beginning.
Of the worst events to happen this year in my life include losing my AWESOME gas station job in hopes of higher employment, only to lose my potential job and being accused of being a convicted felon amongst other things. I also almost had a dog die on me while house sitting as of no fault of my own. Completely lost my faith as an artist finally giving up entirely on a life long career and dream. Found myself in debts that I did not accrue causing a bank account to implode upon itself. I was robbed at gun point my a fully authentic replica AK-47 while visiting friends in Savannah. The punks made off with my wallet luckily containing my birth certificate, social security card, atm card, and business debt card. They also took my McDonald's as well. I lost the opportunity of living in a condo and had to move back in my mom and her boyfriend in the middle of nowhere. I had numerous art deals gone wrong causing my major financial woes and losses of said pieces do to deliquent buyers (who basically own pieces without paying me). My website has been off for 8 months, but I am glad to say will be back up as of the new year.
Now, for the good that has come out of all this calamity. There mus be some good right? That is what I am always looking for since apparently my life is cursed with horrible luck.
Since I have given up on art, or rather art has given up on me. Then again maybe the feelings are mutual. We can agree on that. I have been pursuing the word. During the month of November I participated NANOWRIMO , which consists of writing at least a 50,000 word novel in the month of November. Mine was almost 70,000 in 25 days. It is called Picasso's Marauders and is available on Amazon.com or on the links page of my website. I will also begin writing a second novel which I will tell you about later.
In the next couple of days I will be developing my plan my for the new year. They are not going to be resolutions because I do not believe in making a list of things I plan on resolving, but rather making a list of goals I plan on achieving. The list will be long and ambitious and I plan on doing all that is on the list. 2010 will be my year. Finally. The year of Marcus. The year of the Urban Monk. The year of the creative, ambitious, goal oriented blitzkrieg. So be prepared... Circle the wagons... I've licked my wounds. Picked my boot straps up... Got my head held high... I am reaching past the sky, beyond the stars, and am going to shine hotter and brighter than the sun...
It is time...
