An Introduction, A Story.
Zuzuni the monkey came from humble beginnings. As a young stuffed monkey he spent most of his time enjoying the carnival at Six Flags. He would sit on the shelf with his sly little smile and do what he could to make sure every man, woman, and child who passed left happy. This went on for many weeks, and while Zuzuni couldn’t be happier, he always wondered if there was something more.
Then one day something amazing happened. A young handsome gentleman made his way to Zuzuni’s booth. He had a fierce look of purpose in his eye, and Zuzuni instantly knew that today was going to be a little bit different. The young gentleman (who I did mention was quite striking, didn’t I?) sat down just opposite of Zuzuni. He appeared to think for a moment and then began digging in his pocket. He pulled out a crisp dollar and set it on the counter. Zuzuni’s heart skipped a beat. Could this be his day?
The next few moments seemed like a blur to little Zuzuni. All he remembers is water splashing, people cheering, and when things calmed back down, a finger pointing directly at him.
Zuzuni had finally found a home.

For the sake of keeping things to the point, I will skip ahead several months. This is for your own good I promise, as the stories of these months could fill a whole server full of blogs. Maybe that is something for another time. So let me take you to the present.

Life for Zuzuni couldn’t have been better. He was living with a beautiful young lady that took care of him, and loved him on a daily basis. He had plenty of new family members, including 3 other fuzzy, but not stuffed, creatures that would come in and entertain him from time to time. Life was good, and Zuzuni was happy. Then on the morning of June 24, 2008 something strange happened that was going to once again, change Zuzuni’s life forever.
Do you remember that handsome young man I mentioned earlier in the story. Well today that young man came to see the beautiful young lady. Now this wasn’t something new, but this time instead of saying his usual hello’s to Zuzuni, he picked him up and proclaimed!
“I think it’s time I take you on a little adventure my friend… what do you say to that?”
He then took Zuzuni and whisked him off into his unknown future.
And that is what leads us to today. The beginning of that unknown adventure. So please join myself, and Zuzuni as we take a look at things as Zuzuni has never seen them before.
