Phew. I just spent the last 2 days helping my friends Marcel and Angel move. It was a ton of work, especially moving that huge TV from the upstairs bedroom. They have a tiny spiral staircase that would make it difficult enough, but its even missing some stairs! We put off moving it down (as getting it up there was hell months earlier). But we finally did it, and it wasn't that bad. Overall the past two days have been the most exercise I’ve done in around 6 months. Ridiculous I know, but I sit behind a desk all day, my legs are twigs!
I finished up the music video, and am taking a 10 day break before the next project. Not sure what it will be yet, but something always comes up within that timeframe. I'm not worried. My schedule usually works along the lines of working insane hours for 3 weeks, no weekends, and then taking 10 days to recharge before the next 3 week run. 10 sounds spiffier than it is, but considering that most people get 8 days off from their weekends, and don't have to work 16 hour days, its not quite so far from the standard break time.
I'm struggling with getting into the Live Journal groove. I've never been much for writing in a journal. I have been blessed with an extremely good memory, sometimes I consider it a curse because there are a few things we'd all like to forget. So due to remembering just about everything, I've never really had much need for a journal. But I know that having these things written down now will be appreciated and enjoyed by my future self 10+ years from now.
What sparked this new interest in a journal? I'm at an interesting stage in my life, although my career has been in the works for the past 6 years. It is finally beginning to take off at the level that I wanted it to be at. I've finally attained enough of a resume' to speak for itself, a portfolio to back it up, and decent financial security. What comes next, be it good or bad, should be interesting and worthy of keeping a record of. Let's just hope its a time that I will want to remember.
I haven’t drawn anything decent all year. I keep hitting a glass ceiling that I suspect is due to building my traditional skills on a faulty foundation. I'll have to forget everything that I think I know in order to get past this slump. It's funny I don't really think that I have any talent for drawing, I've worked so hard on it my entire life, and got it to at least a respectable level ( to non-artists at least), but it never came easy. Not like sculpting or 3d or animation did.
Oh! good news, turns out that the music video will be shown in the United States after all. So my friends will get to see it! Its interesting, even if it wasn't shown in the US, millions upon millions would have seen it in the UK and Australia anyway. But I only care if my 5 best friends here in San Diego get to see it on TV. I've never been one to care about what strangers thought of me. But I care immensely that my friends see my hard work, and hopefully like it.
I sometimes worry that I'm too much of a hermit. I don't mind being alone for months at a time. And I have very little interest in meeting new people. I realize that some people would consider that a bit weird. But its how I enjoy living life. I suppose im a bit of an agorophobe.
