Work and work

I never get enough reading in, and can't remember the last day my schedule was clear, life is perfect! This morning I felt like I could create a thousand new ideas before the day was done, but alas I was brought down by an unexpected heap of work that sucked the joy from my heart. I returned home much later than expected, and was surprised to find my guitar looking so attractive. It's been a month since I picked it up. Two nights ago I dreamt that Bob Dylan and I jammed out on two broken guitars, a dream I will write about later. My mind knows what I need, and how to give it to me.

So Far Behind A Thought

I am miles behind my thoughts as far as actions are concerned.  I am currently supposed to be writing the second in a series of 6 scripts for a show I am putting together but alas, I am sipping on cold green tea, enjoying my first saturday off since the holidays and slacking on my self imposed responsibilities. The show is the central thought of my day to day life, but since my day to day life keeps me busy with a copious amount of work, I always think about how much I would get done with one day to devote to it.  Though the script writing is the primary reason for being behind my computer it is still on the list of things to do. My mind travels at Mach 3 while I think of how to present my take on the subject matter at hand (todays script is Religion) but when I get behind the keyboard I am suddenly drawn away from those thoughts. I recorded an album in late 2007 which was something I always wanted to do. The album was just me and a guitar, I put it on itunes, called it sketches. Thats exactly what it was, a sketch of an album. The recording is more of a demo than a full release, but I felt like "Hey, at least I did SOMETHING" I want to take the show more seriously. I want a project that rivals anything on cable T.V. I ask my self how if I am busy reading, or watching something on YouTube or Vimeo.

 Let's avoid that question for now. I am going to keep an ongoing blog that documents my thoughts as I write produce and whatever else goes into making the show. I will also have an ongoing video diary documenting a more precise aspect of the evolving project. I am using the blogs as a motivating tool. I updated my twitter account and went over some of my previous writing which was good. If this was sunday I would be more inclined to stay on the couch, sunday as I look at it is the day before I have to go back to work. It's also usually the only day I get off. I suppose to shape the world you live in there's no time to complain about what you should be doing. I''ll fight off tomorrow long enough to finish today
