Hello, Blogger. It probably feels as though I have abandoned you but I haven't. Truly. I almost nearly fell off the planet and that is why I have lost contact with you. Since the obis hasn't claimed me yet, I decided to inform you of my health and my instability on Earth.
I took a step back today and noticed that my life is great. It has poured. In my hurried state I am constantly under the impression that I am in a drought. The world is spitting on me and this spit has the ability to cause one to see the world through smog-colored glasses. No rain, just spit. It's a terrible way to live. This state of mind alters every situation and never for the best.
In my reverse walk my mind, for the first time in a long time, realized what I've been missing. I could finally see what that smog has been hiding. I got to see all the things that I miss from being in the midst of them. All of the great things that have been happening around me and here I am, drenched in planetary saliva and polluted glasses, too busy to notice.
My brother is engaged. My brain is still trying to wrap around this situation since last week he was saying that he was never going to get married. Or, was that twelve years ago? Anyway, I'm proud of him. He's found a girl that is willing to hang out with him for the next sixty years and there aren't many people who are fortunate enough to find someone who'll do that. I like him. I like her. And that's all that matters. Right?
I love the situations that my school is putting me in. All of my time is being spent in the place that I love most. I rarely have time to think and barely time to study, but I survived the first semester, and I intend to suffering the last three. Really, when one is immersed in homework and theatre as much as this, it's not surprising that one can't see the good, and pay too much attention to the bad. However, today is the day for looking from an outside angle and I have come to the conclusion that Catawba was a good choice. I have no other words on this topic other than going to Catawba has confirmed my suspicions: I love theatre.
To follow up on the last bit, I was cast in The Dining Room at school. It's going to be a great experience. I'm excited to work with the other actors and I can't wait until January 11 when we start getting our hands dirty. And in case there was any question: I love acting. If I could do it all the time, I would. Golly, I can't wait.
I was in Kentucky this past weekend to photograph a wedding. This is a pretty spectacular experience. There was some good, some bad, a mustache, but mostly an experience that I've never had the chance to face before. I also got to see some gorgeous land that the Carolinas do not possess. Without a doubt, I will be going back to Kentucky to further inquire about a barn.
It's strange how this all happened (basically) at once. So much good. Too bad that I could only see the bad. I should walk backwards more often. I am blessed.
