Hey Guys & Gals - just wanted to give everybody an update on me. I've gotten over 15,000 words of my novel written, and am really happy to be taking part in this project. Writing is something that I have always loved doing, but have drifted away from in recent years, and had even convinced myself that it was something that I couldn't do! Well, I'm back. I've posted a sample from my book at my NaNoWriMo userpage http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/user/213034 if you want to check it out. It's not perfect, but hey, that's not the point.
I've got a new job that I love, working at the Camden Teen Center. It feels so good to be doing something for work that I can be proud of again. I'm helping these kids, and making sure that they have a safe, fun place to go after school. What an excellent feeling. I've already broken through to a handful of kids, and feel like they're good friends. I still get an anxious feeling in my gut before I go to work, but I think that has more to do with being new and learning the ropes. Once I really get this down it's going to be great.
I've been managing to keep a lot of shows on my calender! It seriously feels so awesome to play songs for people and sing together and have such a great time and great connection. Why did I put Mr. Roger's theme song in my set? Because I remembered back to a time when I could look up to someone and trust them to have all the answers and learn something every time I saw them on TV. I love his outro especially. Here, I'm going to post the lyrics.
It's such a good feeling, to know you're alive
It's such a good feeling, you're happy inside
And then you wake up ready to say
"It's going to be a snappy new day"
It's such a good feeling, a very good feeling to know
That I'll be back, when the day is new
And I'll have more ideas for you
And you'll have things you want to talk about
I will, too.
Amazing! So, probably you're my myspace friend already if you're reading this, but check out my page at http://www.myspace.com/rotundosealeg and see if you'll be around for any of my shows coming up. I can't promise to have all the answers like Mr. Rogers, but I can promise that we'll have a good time together.
Also, probably all of you know that I've been vegan for about a year and a half. You'll also probably know that I'm not somebody who likes to push his beliefs onto others. But, I've just read about a case of animal abuse and torture and makes me sad and sick in my heart. Please guys, do what you can for the animals. Give them all lots of love, because they're all really cool and different, and who would ever want to hurt anybody to begin with, you know? If anybody ever wants to come over and have a fun and tasty animal-free meal with me and Jen, let me know, okay? We don't have our friends over nearly enough.
Is it silly for me to be so open when it looks cooler a lot of the time to be closed-off and sarcastic? Maybe I do sound silly. Silly's okay with me - I want to enjoy every second.
