Wow, I just got shot down for a job I applied for at GMU over a YEAR ago. That is some fierce turnaround. Sorry again for not posting in a regular fashion, still trying to determine when would work best. Actually trying a different approach. I'm taking the last few minutes of my workday to relax and write. So hopefully this will help out a bit. I found it amusing, my mom asked me why I had stopped writing. I was unaware that more than a day had passed, so needless to say I shall start including the date in the name as well so it allows ME to keep better track.
So, how about the snow eh? I'm looking forward to it though no one else is. Perhaps I should buy a sled? Hmmm. Though I don't want to go to the store to fight everyone who is INSANE and trying to get water for some reason. I always find it strange that buying water is the cheque thing to do when you get snowed in. When you get SNOWED IN. The key word here folks is SNOW. IE WATER. Oh well, there is no helping some people. Man I want to stab my keyboard in the face it doesn't have. Keeps squeaking, which makes my workday VERY long indeed.
Lets see, what have I been up to. Stayed home on Wed from the snow and totally rocked the couch and got yelled at by the wife for being lazy. Not really, but I felt like someone should have yelled at me for being lazy cause I sat on the couch, but it was enjoyable. No stress, just relaxation watching terrible TV. Also my standard of terrible tv is different than most peoples. Mine still has a plot while YOUR terrible Tv is usually reality shows and other stuff where you watch really stupid people kicking the emotional crap out of each other. Le-sigh, what a world we live in. I wonder if it is reality TV that has made the regular shows so bad? I doubt it, you would think it would have a bottleneck effect so all the good writers were on the shows still left like some sort of proverbial fictional life raft. I just think people are lazy. I am one to talk too, I'm terribly lazy. Well, not LAZY, but I lack that extra UN-laziness that would get me doing my own thing after a long day of work. I miss the good old days of a no brainer job. That was nice, all day to do kind of whatever I wanted. Now I am stressed for the time crunch and I feel like my brain turns to mush.
Very strange thing that actually. I feel like in my current job where I read, dispute, research and analyse that my brain feels, follow me on this one folks, UNDER used. It feels like a sorely overworked muscles, like when you keep bending at the hips to lift stuff and not at the knees. Whereas in LA when I did very little but had a lot of, shall we say, interactive association with my surroundings, I felt like my brain got a workout. I wonder if it is A) the interaction with people, or B) the interaction with my environment that makes me feel like my brain works. I might think B. I mean I go to the gym but do not feel smarter. Other muscles are bigger but no my brain. Perhaps it is the interaction with physical problems in a low stress environment or some combination therewith. Maybe you just need to be doing something you like. I do not know, this would be an interesting thing to experiment with.
Well, goal summary. Worked out the past few days. Crushed yesterday because I was waiting for Meg to get out of class while not being shown up by all the giants at the new gym. So good times there. Lots of sitting still so far today.
Personal goals, more brainstorming on scripts, and got some new material from the inlaws to read regarding goals and the emotional walls we create for ourselves. I may usually not buy into that, but seeing my own severe LACK of progress as can be seen in this blog, I wonder if I let myself find reasons to NOT do my goals. Sort of like a built in belief that there is always something more important to do, but never getting to either thing because you are too busy worrying about it. Interesting. But I look forward to reading some of this material and structuring my goals better. It is not that I think I need structure to achieve my goals, I think I need structure to believe that I can accomplish my goals. Small pieces makes believable goals. Hmm that might be a line in one of those books.
Aside from that was talking to buddy Joe and he had a bang up idea for a script, so I am looking forward to working on that with him. I will not divulge it here, but later once we get something on paper I might leak a few spoilers.
Other than that, just looking forward to snow. Will prolly work from home tomorrow cause I do NOT want to deal with all the turds on the beltway. So here's to that then.
Chao!
