If you're here, it means one of three things:
You skipped the portfolio (fair)
You read it all and want more (hi, new best friend)
You're expecting something amazing
Guessing #3. Which is pressure. So I asked my wife what's amazing about me. We may be defining ‘amazing’ differently, but here goes:
The time I asked her OB-GYN to delay our son's birth so I could return the Zipcar. The night I thought Beverly Hills jail was nicer than my apartment. Another time Lou Reed (lead singer of Velvet Underground/personal hero) called me an "illiterate [expletive]" in the New York Post after reading my Factory Girl script. And I was happy. Because Lou Reed read my script.
Which is the point. Most people don’t care. But one day, you find someone who doesn’t call you illiterate on Page Six.
Hopefully you’re the former. Or is the latter? I always mix those up.
Maybe Lou was right.
