I still can feel my beliefs growing stronger, stronger everyday!
Well things keep moving eh?
I'm doing really well. Things with Becky and I are great. We hang out all the time and its pretty rad. We've got a lot planned: Lion King musical, Thanksgiving with Shane and Julie...and 12 bottles of wine we got at a wine tasting in Connecticut haha, snowboarding, and maybe a vacation sometime before spring?
My family stuff is starting to clear up it seems. I've been done with school and since mid August and have been working since. I was the 2nd AD on this indie feature and then Vin set me up with this interview at the company he works for. Been working there for about 5 weeks-ish now? I dig it, its a neat company and everyone is nice and helpful. Neat program they run too, 6-7 months as a digitizer then you move onto assistant editor then eventually editor (pay raises included at each promotion, and benefits...eventually?).
I'm being smart about money, kinda. I did make a $1500 payment on my loan the other day so I felt really good about that. If I play my cards right I could be debt free by summer...just in time for a trip to Florida! YEA! Hogwarts Castle! 90's fanny packs!
. Yea I know thats kind of a random thing to say but I see these guys in the subways alllllll day and night spewing the same garbage. It's ridiculous, they sit there and yell about their god of choice. Then Becky and I watched this documentary about this fanatic christian camp and it just made my blood boil. It was interesting watching it because she went to Christ camp as a kid and well most of you know how I was growing up haha. I saw myself in a lot of the kids they showed on there and its insane how some of the kids were exploited. I mean I understand some people really benefit from faith in something other than themselves. Thats cool thats awesome, and they do a lot for communities too. But then you have communities like the Westboro Church, the godhatesfags.com guys. I really just feel thats one of the biggest things holding humanity back and if people just learned to think for themselves, or actually treat each other decently not because they think they're being watched by some invisible zombie in the sky but because its just the right thing to do then there would be a hell of a lot less hate in the world.
Someone do me a favor and tattoo that on themselves.
Everyone seems really down lately too, at least from the few lj entries I read. Cheer up guys! Haven't you heard? It's the new golden age of America!
I'm very excited, I know most are. I was at work when it happened and it was so surreal. Not to be over dramatic but everything felt different. Like you could feel the optimism pouring out of people who had given up on this downward spiral of a nation. I know he has a lot of work ahead of him, but man after watching his acceptance speech I know I'm not alone in saying I believe in him. I've never felt so politically interested. Change is coming but I think it'll feel distantly familiar. We'll see I guess.
Alrighty, time to start living again. See you in a few months!
