This was written months ago, and I updated it with a reference to Ukraine after Russia's invasion. Interestingly, I didn't have to change anything else, I was happy what I'd written fit in so well with current events.

LMFAO Maybe he should record them and have their friend in South Florida transcribe them.

Thanks, bud. You were up early today.

Thank you! CJ's life is a series of event shaping his beliefs and actions. They will all play a part in who he becomes. At 24, he's still a kid. I believe people like him, who always try to do the right thing, exist. The accompanying notoriety may at times be a pain but with Owen's help he'll harness it to help him reach his goals.

Me? Poetry? LMAO That's as likely as me writing love stories. Interestingly, one of my main characters turned 45 yesterday and another one turns 30 tomorrow. Something about fellow Taurus men...

Considering my current story's set in Mexico, and I wrote about Mayan ruins twice, I think I'll skip these. They're both interesting, but I hate to repeat myself.

“The editors identified several individuals, all under thirty, and assigned each a reporter. After winning the Oscar, you became a hot commodity. A couple of the others wanted to trade with me.” Joe Huard grinned and ran a hand through his wavy hair. “But, considering I’m fluent in Spanish, it would have been silly for me to end up in Jerusalem, Riga, or Tokyo.” “Was winning an Oscar why I was chosen?” CJ’s curiosity about the selection process needed satisfaction before he would allow the

I can do the same thing, As long as there's a stool or something to rest my ass on...
-
I love that picture. That's the definition of joy after a victory.
-
There might be a documentary or two in CJ and Owen's future, but no reality TV crap for them.
-
We wear very little down here. Too warm to be bunched up.

Uber delivers food and anything else. They tell you not to eat non-food items but in this case... Funny thing's he's not even my type!
-
Damn! You saw that? I better stop going commando.
-
LMAO I've been kind to Alaska. Liebe's surrogate hailed from there. We know Ritch enjoyed his posting while in college. And an upcoming short story will be set in Kodiak (I think.)
-
Red Bull gives you wiiings... (Not sure if those commercials play in your area.)

Of course I meant ill will! If CJ complains about us being overly politically correct, I'm with him. I tend to pick on backward states who outlaw a woman's right to choose or ban transgered indiviuals from participating in sports, or try to arrest parents for helping their questioning kids, or... Should I keep going? A long time ago, a GA author took a comment I made personally and went on a rant about him not being an idiot even though he lived out in the country. Another one complained about a joke I made about West Virginia, even though I'd had characters rave about how beautiful the state was. As far as I'm concerned, they can go jump off a cliff. FYI Florida and Texas get skewered in an upcoming chapter.

I'm still trying to define they type of art CJ and Owen favor. So far, they're all over the map. Anything I write in the future will probably have some art purchase/conversation. I'm avoiding grand masters with them. Instead, I want either real or fictitious 21st Century artists. I have them chasing one specific painting from someone who died in 2008 in an upcoming book. Eventually I want them to befriend someone like Basquiat.
-
I suspect he's frustrated right now. He keeps banging against the wall that's CJ without realizing it won't crumble no matter how hard he tries. The inability to adapt has led to extinction before, and I suspect marginalizing Northman is about the same thing.
-
Gotta keep making money for Oprah! Considering how my stomach has grown in the past couple of years, I'm hiding in case I look tasty.
-
I'm often jealous of these high school kids (like CJ) who come out and don't give a crap who knows they're gay. But that plays into my stories as I try to show there's acceptance out there.
-
I've learned my lesson, and I'm trying to minimize using real people while writing in the future. There are some in CDMX, but you may have noticed the majority of characters are my creation.
-
CJ tells us Owen thinks the interview(s) will be a positive event. They're thinking ahead and the plotting will pick up speed once they leave Mexico and have to reevaluate where their lives are going. Here's a spoiler: At one point Ritch refers to his brother and brolaw as media whores. Politics can be dirty and CJ will need to make decisions that could compromise his integrity. But I think his fairy godparent will help him. Yes, the end of Summer was a clusterfuck. I'd do it again, just better. LOL I was trying to recreate one of those TV shows with fast, frequent scene changes, and I was still scared nobody would read my stuff so I tried to keep people hooked.
-
Yep... LMAO

Where's Blade when you need him?
