Flying By
As some may know, I have been in a VERY intense build for A Midsummers Nights Dream. This show, by all accounts, has been epic. The whole concept - found objects, recycled objects, and no masking or drapery at all, has provided a fair bit of challenge. Lighting wise, I'm Master Electrician, as I have been for almost every show since my time at MU. This show is one of those I love, even if it drives me crazy. Everything, and I mean everything, we own is in the air. Our entire inventory of Source 4 is nearly hung. I've been cleaning, re-wiring and generally re-habbing Altman fresnels and 360Q's for a week, and don't even get me started on all the practicals I have to wire. I'm nearly out of circuits, cables, lights, gobo holders and safety cables, and yet it seems far from completed. This show man, this show.
And as much as I have been consumed with this show, I FINALLY seem at home here at Marquette. Semester #5 is far and beyond my best in terms of grades and class attendance. I have a true awakening this summer, which forced me to evaluate my life. I worked through alot of shit and am now in a very good place, a place I haven't been in years.
And on the personal side of things, I haven't been this happy in ages. When almost every text makes you smile, when you can talk about anything, when you actually feel understood, its just wonderful. I'm not trying to force anything to happen, and I'm just trying to take things one day at a time and let things develop naturally, but its just so good to be in this situation, no matter how fucked up/ridiculous it is.
To say "life is good" sounds like a cliche, I know, but it really is.
