Big Ideas...

I considered beginning this post with an apology for my prolonged absence but then thought, nah. The fact of the matter is I have been working on something really big. Perhaps the single best idea I have ever had. That's saying a lot, or not much, dependent upon which of my "big ideas" one might reference.

Like the time I had a big idea about piercing my tongue. Uh, big idea alright. One big, fat, slobbering, slurring, swollen tongue later I almost choked (literally) as I verbally admitted that maybe, just maybe I'd gone too far. Not one of my brightest ideas but still qualifies as big  if for no other reason than the impressive size my tongue swelled to. Gene Simmons would have been envious.

Then there was the time I gave up my amazing flat in SF and left the country bound for three money making months in Japan with two huge, fucking suitcases.  The suitcases each had a leash they could be pulled by but I had to drag mine. I've never been known for being a light packer. Combine the weight and losing a wheel off one of them and I very quickly began hating them both. Someone in my entourage not so affectionatly refered to them as "my dogs" and I took it one step further and just called 'em bitches. This is only the first thing in a chain of events which makes giving up an amazing flat in the Haight one of the least  big and bright ideas I have ever had.

Now that I think about it this could make for an entire post all on it's own so maybe I shouldn't say more. I'm sure your dying to know. Right? Okay, picture this... seven American women with twenty-one pieces of luggage trying to sneak out of an apartment building (overlooking a pig farm) in the countryside of Japan because we believed we'd been sold to the Yakuza. Wanna hear more? Of course you do. You're gonna have to buy the book, when I finish writing it.

Point is, I have had an indeterminable number of big ideas that, in hindsight, turned out not so well. The latest incarnation of my genius is destined to fare much, much better and the great news is you can be a part of it. Audience participation time. Who wants to be first?

Settle down. No fighting. Everyone will get a turn with me. There's plenty of my genius to go around and it won't even have to be spread thin. I'm just not quite ready for the big reveal so hang tight and let the blog pot simmer a little longer.
