Hey Now
3 months seems like a good time between entries, or maybe not.
It's impressive how much can happen in such a short, relatively, span of time. Been doing my best to keep busy as summer rolls around: A couple of paying gigs with the band, acting in an off, off Broadway play, patching up some old friendships and rekindling a few old feelings, submitted some material, meaning, a few jokes, to various TV shows to moderate success, and kept plugging away at films of my own. All in all, not too shabby, and yet, I feel as if I've come through the wringer to the other side of things, that now, everything is so much easier and simpler than it was, even 3 months earlier.
My only major concern of late is finding steady income. I have a few high-priced CBS gigs looming in the coming weeks (Expect pictures, as they all have the potential to be interesting), but I need something to fill the gaps. In such a short span of my life, I marvel at how many jobs I have had and how none of them really gave me any sort of satisfaction. Though, then again, they were all meant to just be temporary jobs, but I had hoped that maybe one of them would last long enough for me to find some financial stability. Oh well.
In other news, the state of this country goes further to pot, which is no real surprise. Most of us Americans are left just riding out the storm until Jaunary 2009, when the long horrible nightmare will finally be at an end. However, if things don't change drastically after that, I do wonder how much longer we, as a nation can continue to sustain ourselves as we are. I fear that we are slowly lurching to a breaking point, much like the 1920's, with too much excess, too much over-reach, and not enough foresight. Should this happen, it may be time to cash the coins in here and get away.
I am happy to report that while my entire schools situation continues to just sort of hang in the balance as I wait on word of return to Adelphi, that frankly, I'm not concerned by it. I know I'll graduate soon, within the next year or so, but all that means is having the diploma, the piece of meaningless paper that suddenly means I am employment material. Meanwhile, instead, I'll take steps to pad the old resume in other ways, so when I do firmly and once and for all make the plunge into the workplace, I'll have a fighting chance, if I even need the degree by that point. Instead of being more or less down-trodden by it, I'm actually optimistic that things will work out and it's a nice state of mind to be in.
Hope everyone has been well. I look forward to catching up.
Take care all,
Devin.
