and I have worked together
for about 7 years now,
due to his penchant for pictures
(currently pursuing a master's in photography from UT)
being mutually beneficial
with my
constant need of self-documentation
(I'm an artist).
It's hard enough holding on to the present,
let alone the past <---stereotypical set-up
(insert commentary on
the youth/
social networking/
ADD/
original Nickelodeon programming).
Somehow,
Joey and I have remained friends
and business partners
this entire time,
despite
the many places he and I have both travelled.
If the word "Merykid" ever means something
outside of San Antonio,
I think Joey will be there too.
