I always feel like I have to write something really smart or insightful or special when I post.
Maybe that’s why I don’t post more often.
But I do have something to say about January. January is a time of resolutions, new beginnings, and, let’s face it: the January Blahs. It’s unofficial and people don’t really talk about it too much, but January is really a time of rest and rejuvenation.
And a lot of times, that = boring.
It’s tempting as an artist to feel this quiet time and think, “Oh shit, I should be doing something. I should be working on a script or going out for lots of auditions or this or that! Panic panic!” And I’m saying that from experience!
But the truth is, life has it’s ups and downs, and it’s not all about “doing” something. The trick is to enjoy all of it. The exciting, adrenaline-filled days where you can’t wait to walk around the corner because you just don’t know what will happen next as well as the days where you’re sitting at home and you just for the life of you can’t think of anything to do (besides laundry, because that’s even MORE boring).
I have to keep reminding myself of that (about the ups and downs thing, not the laundry).
This year, I would like to be in a Shakespeare play. I’m also working on a script for stage, which I would like to fully produced in 2012, and a short film script, which I would like to shoot on a shoestring budget this spring.
That’s all. Nothing special there.
Now I’ll go back to my blahs. Enjoy yours, while you can




I liked this post, it wasn’t as blah as you thought it was.
