So I am sitting here at oh-fuck-thirty in the morning tring to retool my resume and get it in the factory approved ANDERSON format.  And then this song comes on my Ipod and kicks me in the teeth.

There's a portrait of Uncle Alvarez
Hangin' in the hall
Nobody wants to look at it
But Uncle Alvarez sees us all

Oh, oh, oh
imaginary accomplishments
Hey,

I love that song. I find the arpeggiated ninth chord of "oh oh oh" and "hey hey hey" triumphant and beautiful.

This is a stepping stone.
Maybe you have to know the system to buck it.
My mom says you have to establish yourself in order to disestablish yourself.

You are opening doors and facilitating opportunities for ourselves right now, as am I. I refuse to believe you're limiting yourself or automatically tying yourself to a life you don't want. In May you'll be a year down, as opposed to not. What's wrong with that?

I used to be afraid of moving forward, thinking that every decision I made would necessarily eventuate a whole web of decisions I wasn't sure if I wanted. I don't think that's true. You are making an investment.

I think this is a positive step for you; it seems like a real bitch in practice, and I hate that part. It's painful to watch because I love you so.

If it wasn't gut-wrenching, life-changing, and hard as hell, this accomplishment wouldn't set you apart as much. I think it has to be this way to continue being so well respected in the business community. You wanted this, and worked very hard to get here.
