On the road to … happiness

When I lived in San Francisco, I lived around some incredibly talented people. Above me were artists, Kim Frohsin and Randy Sexton. Below me was the drummer from Translator and inside my apartment was a talented architect. That’s not to mention the talented friends who graced my life during this period.

Since returning to New Orleans where the talent to costume, entertain, or make music just drips out of the ether, I’ve find myself in a virtual atmosphere of talent that keeps growing abundantly. Viva le internet! Anne Flournoy introduced me to the following blogs/people: Ann’s Rants, Stephanie Smirnov, and Mudd Lavoie, no less.

Now Mudd has introduced me to Marilyn, and Miracle Baby (my niece) visualizes the world through her lens, and not to mention the physical surroundings of talent such as Connie on the Court, our own personal photographer for life, Marc Pagani, Tin’s self-appointed uncle and hairstylist, Darrin Butler, not to mention his godfather, godfather (as well as a stage full of talented musicians, poets, writers, and painters who live in my hood. Or how about my friend G who just started blogging who introduced me to her brother who has been blogging? Not to mention one of my fav blogger just down the street. Nutty.

My life runneth over with talented and fabulous people – how lucky am I? I’ve arrived at Destination Happiness as Mudd calls her blog.

That doesn’t mean that sometimes life isn’t shit, but think of the material – rich and pungent!
