San Francisco Knights
Since moving to San Francisco I have been feeling much better about myself. I feel better about where my life is going personally and professionally. I also feel good about this little blog I’ve got here.
For those who know me personally or have read some past posts you probably figured out that I could be a real mess of nerves at times. There were times when I felt really down about my writing ability and was often pondered going for a different job. I haven’t taken thoughts like that seriously since moving to this city in August. Instead there’s a new type of confidence and a new sense of freedom instilled in me by this change.
There are times I walk down the streets at night, either by myself or with friends, and can feel a real energy around me. Everywhere I step has this amazing history coming up from the ground. There’s this sense that anything can be possible. It makes me think that the possibilities are open in my life, certainly when it comes to my writing.
I’ve already thought of a dozen posts I can write based on things that can only happen to me because I live in San Francisco. Some of them you might read this week and others I’ll bring out later. I can’t miss all the culture that surrounds me. In L.A. the sprawl of the city and reliance on cars created a distance between me and everything else. San Francisco is easier to get around and enjoy. I live on the very edge of the city near Daly City but I can make it to North Beach and Chinatown by rail in less than an hour. I can get to everything this city offers real easy. That’s one of the things about this city that instills me with real bright optimism.
Isotope also invigorates me. Every Wednesday I can walk into this place with a fun atmosphere, good drinks and good people. The comics are great, especially finding new books and creators, and it compliments this buzz James Sime has put together for this lounge.
The city’s a wonderful place to be a comic book fan. Ever since the underground comics planted the seeds in the 1960’s San Francisco rivals New York in history and resources. There are so many companies, from Viz to Image to Uncle Lar’s empire, which I can further exploit the inroads into the comics industry I already have. It makes me positive about the future.
I’ll be sharing more and more of my life on this blog. Comics will be an important aspect of this site. For the foreseeable future they will be the most covered topic. I’m just not limiting myself in terms of ideas to explore here. Brill Building will probably start to resemble Kevin’s or my friend Mr. the Dog’s blogs. My life is filled with possibilities and the blog is going to reflect that. Thanks for reading.
