the VincentClark network is pleased to announce that it is ending its second phase and is at the dawn of the third and final phase of this quest.

This announcement was to be on October 16, 2008, my 34th birthday, however, it was a gutrentchingly horrible day and soon to forget that it ever happened. In fact, I tend to rarely, if ever, mention it again. If you  want to know what happened, ask someone else. For those that know me know, that I very rarely say that. 

Since there is no way in hell I am going to relive my 33th year, which has been more than dreadful, the plans for the 34th celebration will be postponed until December 4th, 2008. 

the VincnetClark network has experienced more than its fair share of setbacks, however, they were only setbacks not endears. I know it seems that I am constantly writing about delays and to the average view you might be wondering what exactly I have been up to.

If it helps know that there is an answer, I have it all written down. I have seen the best of times and the worst of times. My wife has creates a zen garden for me to escape to when the relentless onslaught of bad things pour over me. 

I see good things happen to my friends. Some People might think that makes me jealous, but it doesn’t, in fact, it helps me get through these times even more. 

Will we make December 4th? Not sure, but we are going to try, like we have been the whole time. 

I know that you cannot wait to hear the ending of Vince vs. Jen. It was so good, I have to put everything that went into me getting a painting, which I did. 

I can claim victory, I did meet my goals of this challenge I set forth for myself on Friday. It is 8:54, Jen is downstairs painting. In fact, she is making two paintings, however, one is for me. 

Why do I say, “I can claim victory.” Why don’t I say, “I claim victory.” This is a victory for Jen and I. Despite a miserable end to my week, despite this pain in my side, the uncertainty that is ahead of me, this hay-fever cold I had since Friday, despite all that, I was able to motivate my wife to do what she loves to do most, and that is paint. 

Jen wins, and it isn’t just the painting. She had a good weekend. While I was sick all day Saturday she was out living it up having Tea in Beverly Hills with her friends. The place that she had tea her friends used to circle when they were in high school, but never were able to go in. They would dream of a day where they would get the treatment that they could have only seen from afar. Someone to give them park their cars, serve them tea, all the while chatting about the finer things in life.

Jen then went shopping, which is what she wanted the money for. She bought herself a skirt. Normally, I don’t like her buying clothes, mainly because she has so many, but this time was different. The skirt was really cute, fits her, not that expensive, and made her very happy. 

Today, the 19th, Jen went to the art supply store.  She bought all the brushes and supplies she needs to paint. We also were able to get Halloween decorations too, which was a bonus. 

Getting Jen to paint, why is this such a challenge that I should be so proud to have accomplished? I was able to motivate Jen to push through all the barriers that stood between Friday and being able to do what she is best at.  She needed supplies, time, motivation, and most of all inspiration. I have done a lot of good things as a husband to Jen, but this is my crowing achievement, this is what I am meant to do, and I could not be happier. 

I agree, my methods may appear odd to most, but I am sure that more that you get to know Jennifer L. Clark, the more you will understand that you cannot approach Jen like anyone else on the planet, and that is what I love most about her. 

I will post a full summary and pictures of my painting in the future. I would like it to be tomorrow, but I have learned that I have no idea what will happen to me between now and then, just now, I got what I wanted and Jen won.
