Oh my God!

starzkiIt was one of those episodes of
the Daily Show with Jon Stewart where I was seriously contemplating how
I could simultaneously bear the child of any person involved in that
show, and then it happened:
Kurt Vonnegut was the guest.
I honestly genuflected and proceeded to bow in front of my television a number of times. I gasped in such a way that my dog ran from the room, scared. I'm still a little shocked by the whole thing.
Vonnegut is my hero.
I can't say more about him. I don't have the words or intelligence.
It scares me that he's so old. I would give him 20 years of my own life if it would extend his because the world needs him around for so much longer. He should survive us all. Now I want to cry. I feel so lucky just to have read books that he's written. I also feel so sad that I'll probably never meet him or talk to him. He is my mind and my heart. He's why I even try to write. He's also the reason that I know I'll ultimately fail as a writer. He's already said everything that I've meant to say.
