Waitin'

Right now, I’m playing the waiting game, a game I’ve been playing for some months now. Waiting for a job, waiting for life’s next chapter to unveil itself to me, waiting for Passover to start, waiting to go to Vegas for Scott’s birthday, waiting stop waiting.

And in this state of wait – ha? – that clearly resembles the place you should not go in Dr. Suess’s Oh The Places You’ll Go, I find myself somewhat lacking of information about what takes up my days. Basically, this is an apology to the blog and readers alike: I wish I had something new and exciting to report on each and every day. But after waking up, writing, exercising, and then coming home to read, watch something, or write some more, not a whole lot going on

But while I wait, let me put the most up-to-date accomplishments of a guy who sits around on his ass most of the day trying to find ways to fill it.

SO SAY WE ALL: Justin and I built two lighting boxes from some old drawers and about a hundred dollars worth of equipment from Home Depot. They are awesome. We are also in line for the use of free law services to turn the organization into a 501c3 and make sure that our little baby don’t get taxed too hard. Rehearsals for the “Mortal Enemies” show went well, though finding two more storytellers for the show is proving difficult, and we are getting set to drop bombs on April 25th. Speaking of bombs – like the logo?

That’s just a sneak peak at what is yet to come.

WRITINGS: Finished a new draft of the Staten Island installment of THE BOROUGH SERIES. It’s now called Our Lady of Staten Island and has been completely revamped from the thesis project it was exactly one year ago today *sniff*. I like it. I think it is a stronger piece than it was before and can really do some damage. As for The Rounds, my show I’m writing with Katie, I got through a new draft that was an improvement from the last one, but still not quite the level we want. It’s hard to get the humor across while still showing that a dramatic situation is taking place. Jaya passed on several competitions to send it off to, but I need a least a strong third draft or decently put-together fourth draft to even think about doing that.

JOBS: Heard an answer from Sony Online Entertainment of: “We’d love to hire you…not sure if we have the money…” which is great and simultaneously confusing news. The job is mine, the money we are still iffy on. But I hope I get it. I had a great interview and a solid resume and think that the place would be a great fit for me. However, working for free kind of defeats the purpose. Should Sony decide they are lacking funds (and I pray to God they aren’t), I heard back from a guy on Craigslist (first time! Ever!) about working for the Cross Fire Protection agency. Not ideal for a career path, but a good place to work and great hours. As of yet, though, it remains uncertain whether I have the position or the job. See the waiting…?


SPRING APPROACHES: This is my favorite time of year and it is a great time to be in San Diego. Warm, sunny, and buzzing with life. I always felt that around this time, with Passover, especially, I was able to shed some skin and mature a little bit in character. By the leaving part of the old me behind and opening myself up to further develop myself, I am always rewarded with a rejuvenating sense of self-worth. It doesn’t last long, but it is sweet when it comes. That I am very much looking forward to.

And now, please wait. The blog will re-start momentarily.
