Passion is good but its useless without ambition.
I haven't really given a substantial update in here for a while. I've just posted videos that I thought you all would enjoy. Since I have some free time, I figured why not.
I've of course been busy. I thought this busy climate that has dominated my life would start to die down once the movie was finished being written but its just getting crazier. There's so much to do with revisions, music, auditions, PR, etc. Now I think I know how Robert felt when he was orchestrating the haunt back in '06.
Bite the World Productions is now a registered and liscensed business. The office is listed with the same address as my apartment and after I purchase my new desk and my new completely-dedicated-to-video-editing-computer that will be a much more truthful statement.
I like my job at SRBI. It's probably the best job I've ever had. We call people with a random number generator, give them surveys, and record the answers for statistical purposes. It's easy, interesting, pays pretty damn well, and I get along with my co-workers and my bosses phenomenally. I don't get up in the morning and dread the thought of going to work either because when I get there, its always a calm and relaxed environment. A lot of my co-workers are trying out for Acid Trip too so you know they're pretty cool. I like the job, but its dead-end. I can't see myself doing it for more than a couple years max. I can however see myself sticking with it until I move to la.
After completely getting all my stuff moved in and situated, I think I'm satisfied with my apartment. I mean its kind of small but its just me. And although I would have liked one more room for my drums and music stuff, I can deal. I set up my living room to accomodate my furniture, television, speakers, a bookcase for all my movies, and my drums. It's kind of a squeeze but it works and it's not uncomfortable at all. The only problem is the gas bill. It kind of drains my earnings leaving me less to spend or save. But like I said; I can deal. When Spring finally comes gas won't be as much of an issue.
I've finally turned my diet back around to about where it was this time last year. I was eating fruits and vegetables, working out, and going outside regularly. I was also constantly hydrated. Since about August until now I've been slipping behind on all that but now I'm restoring my health pretty well. Not as well as before, but pretty well.
It's strange having direction in life. Maybe some of you don't know what I'm talking about because you've had goals and long-term expectations for yourself in the past. I haven't. I've always dealt with life on the short-term. Passing a test, getting a shitty part-time job, saving up for a camera, and things like that. But now I have some direction. Taking this semester off was one of the best choices I've ever made in my life. It has given me time to clear my mind and find out what I really want out of my short time of being alive and set some serious goals.
I've learned that the best thing you can do with your life is to seperate yourself from the things that bring you down in any way. Whether it be people, places, or thoughts. I think The day you decide to stop complaining about the negative parts of your life and start moving beyond them is the day your real life begins.
Also, Sweeney Todd comes out on April 1st and I'm excited. =)
