It’s been a long time since I’ve written. So much has happened to catch up on.
First off, life is good. Maybe it’s because it’s summer and the dreaded “seasonal depression” has vacated my body, or maybe it’s just because I’ve found a little inner peace. But life is good. I had an epiphany in May that I had honest to God lost track of myself and everything I ever stood for. So now I’m taking steps to remedy that and, day by day, I feel a little closer than I did the day before.
Part of this is due to some changes at work. I’ve always liked my job. Going to work there was the best decision I’ve made for myself in the last 2 years. It got me out of a job where I wasn’t be utilized and wasn’t working in my field and got me into a job in my field and I was happy. But last month, I began the trek into fully working on the production side of things and that’s made all the difference. I really love going to work now. My days are busy from start to finish. I thrive on deadlines, and, trust me, I’ve got plenty now. Because not only am I doing a new job, but continuing my old one as well…so I’m about 3 times as busy as I was. I. Love. It. It’s nice to be working more in something that I enjoy.
I also cut a voiceover demo last week. Call this step 2. I’m hoping to eventually get some voiceover work. I’m not quite sure how to go about marketing myself yet though. Still figuring that one out. If anyone has any suggestions, I’d love to hear them.
On a different note, Alex and I went to Indy last month to see Nine Inch Nails. It was probably one of the best trips we’ve ever taken together…not to mention some of the happiest times we’ve ever spent together. It’s a great feeling watching someone you love be genuinely happy…and meeting NIN made him so happy. Not to mention finding the used Criterion sale of the century in FYE. I know that 20 years from now, this trip will be one of my fondest memories.
Then 2 weekends ago, we went to Atlanta for Joe Walker’s 29th birthday party. His wife was nice enough to arrange a birthday party in his favorite city, so Alex and I went up for the day. Another really nice day away from Birmingham. I’m learning that these are vital to my happiness. Just a little escape…even if it is only for a day…and even if it is only Atlanta.
Let’s see…what else…OH…cut my hair off on Tuesday. Short, above my shoulders, short. I haven’t had my hair this short in YEAAAAAAAAAAAAARS. Today is the first day I actually like it. It’s definitely more work…and it’s been trial and error trying to get it right, but today I really like it. Not sure if I’ll keep it short. But, we’ll see. Alex loves it. But I still feel a little silly with short hair.
And that’s about that…for now anyway. Maybe this time I won’t stay away for so long.
