July 1st, 2005! The day I escaped reality and took my current job. The day I was able to rediscover and let loose the kid in me before he disappeared for good. The day nerf guns became acceptable in the workplace. The day I kissed a good night’s sleep goodbye. The day I looked back from a black helicopter to discover I’d been living on a remote island surrounded by deadly reefs. The day the box was broken into little bits. The day I was given the world as a canvas, unprecedented creative satisfaction, cemeteries, cell phones, fireworks, secret concerts, twitchy the clown, ulcers, pen-pals from around the world, and most importantly…
…a banjo.
