Patron.

Given the recent bent of my lifestyle, you would think that what I have written above is pronounced Puh-Trone, as in Patron Tequila.

You would be mistaken.

Actually, the word refers to me and should be pronounced Pay-trin, as yes, I have given my vast student loan fortune to the arts and have commissioned my first painting from an up and coming young artist. The working title, thus far, is "Perambula" and it will be delivered to my home sometime quite soon.
(Actually, it's a friend of mine from high school who I recently found on facebook and engaged in a long exchange of mama jokes culminating in "hey dude, how much would you charge me for a painting?" and him saying "uh, 100 bucks?" and then i said "cool. do that." and then he said "that's what your mama said." and then I said "Oohhhhhh! do the painting.")

I'm pretty excited about it actually. Super excited even.

Edit: I haven't given up yet!

At this point it's on facebook. I can post some more if you'd like though. Some of it is startlingly good. Startling I tell you!
