Since I wasn't at the Governor's Ball

So February has been a little slim on the posts. For that my most sincere apologizes. It's really been a month filled with a mix of procrastination, frustration, and an all-round sense of being in a perpetual rodent wheel. 

I know that setting goals that are completely unrealistic can in-fact work against you but this time I don't think that's been the case. I've had a spec script that's been in the first draft stage for well over a month and I keep on going back to fine tune the first two Acts while letting the back-end slide. I know the basics of the story but without having the complete episode on paper and fattening it up to the appropriate page length. It's part worry about "what next" but the other part is that perpetual daemon of procrastination that makes you watch "I Want That" on Fine Living at 3 in the morning instead of tackling the freakin' script. 

Just putting that line down on the screen makes me realize how much of a douche I sound like whining about it. 

All month long I've just been feeling like life was sailing by...when I'm the one who's just been forgetting what side of the tube I like being in control of more.

Oh, and if my Grandpa is reading this...I'll be holding your nickname for me in a couple years. Thanks for reminding me.

She's not Perfect...

She's not perfect but irreplaceable.

She dances in the silhouettes of the moonlight,
Guides the path of the fireflies on the bog.
Her hair entangles the passioned air, 
And cuts through the mire of the fog.

Her form like a sire,
leveling the playing field to dust.
Her heart scares most men,
Passionate depths are her sacred trust.

Whimsy and sass are her seductive defense.

My lips are dry,
It scares me to pursue her, 
Following my heart,
I need that push.

She's not perfect but irreplaceable.

Pushing Myself out of Limbo

So, in this season of sky falling I thought the best course of action would be to apply as a flight attendant for a few of the airlines.

My biggest complaint about that I really wanted to change about my life in the last year was how static my life has been. I like Toronto but have never felt like it was truly home. I felt at home in Manhattan and as luck, fate, or somewhere gray-in-between I got an interview at a regional carrier this morning.

I love the feeling of flight and I've been saying that I want to see more of Canada lately. This would cover that desire and make a few bucks in the process. Plus being part of a regulated industry it will be a nice bit of change.
