June 12, 2007 - It continues...
So you didn't think it was gonna happen, did you? You were thinking: "Well, he might have started a new blog, he may have said he'd update it more than once every three months. But you know what? I don't believe him. It ain't gonna happen. Never. Not a chance. Updating his blog on a regular basis, like other people do. What the heck is he thinking? How could he possibly be bold enough to publicize such a ridiculous idea. Now, if he had said that he saw a real life space ship. That he spent the weekend being abducted by aliens, who looked remarkably similar to those furry little creatures they had in that one episode of Stargate, and that he came back, having developed a strange yet startling craving for chicken sandwiches with nutella, pickles and unions -- now THAT, that I would have believed. I would have bought it. It doesn't seem too unlikely. It's possible. Ya never know. But updating his blog??? No. I don't believe that. He must have been joking. Either that, or he was intoxicated when he made that first blog the other day."
Well, well, well. Looks like it happened after all. And to answer your question: I was remarkably sober when I made that first blog entry. And the idea of chicken sandwiches with nutella, pickles and unions seems very disgusting to me. I'm not sure why.
But anyway, the blog's going strong. And I have to say, I think 2007 will end up being a great year. Some personal life things seem to be falling in place, as I've met this very nice person not too long ago. Have to wait until Friday before I see her again, but it'll be well worth the wait. Just today I had an initial interview for a new job that it seems I may be getting. It's still early, but I've got a good feeling so far. I'm heading back there tomorrow for the second stage of what will be a three stage interview process; I think I made a great first impression today. Also today, for the first time, I recorded my entire comedy act (77 minutes), just like I used to record podcasts. I listened to it for analysis purposes, and was very pleased. Working on perfecting it some more, as I am a perfectionist. But it's looking like I might sign up for an open mic night this coming Monday. So I gotta figure out what some of the best five minutes are. I checked out that place about two weeks ago -- Houston's Laff Stop, if you want to look it up online -- and most of the open mic performances didn't really impress me. So I feel very confident that I will be way above average, once the great moment comes. What you wouldn't know is that for the most part of my life I wanted to be an actor. It was Horizon that got me also interested in a career behind the camera. So it's not too surprising that I'd finally get on stage. Who knows where that will lead? But either way, it's great fun.
I've also accomplished some more Horizon work today; I'm up to Act Seven of the season premiere outline. Found some real life locations that I think will be a great basis for what will hopefully be some impressive concept drawings. Had a quick exchange with Beth the other day; she said she's eager to get back to doing some concept work. So that should work out well. I think Horizon's Season Four is already shaping to be the show's best season yet. I was happy with how Season Three turned out, but I don't think it topped Season Two. I do think that come Season Four, it'll go down in the show's history as having been the season that took it to a new level, as the series started hitting its stride. Happens often, that shows really start taking off in their fourth seasons. But by all means, we're not doing this on purpose. It's just how it seems to be turning out at this point in time.
So, personal life going well, new job at the horizon, a newly found passion for performing stand up comedy, and Horizon kicking off what will be a fantastic season. Yup. Can't complain about 2007 so far. I hope everyone else is having a good year, too. Interestingly, seven was always one of my lucky numbers. I'm curious how 07/07/2007 will turn out, especially around 7:07 am and 7:07 pm. I'll make sure to let you know.
Well, I'm about to turn in for tonight. Big day tomorrow. Some kind of sale at the department store I'm currently working at (if all goes well with that other job, I'll be doing this one part time pretty soon). Yeah, department stores; hard to believe, huh? I got a nice monologue on that actually -- it's just too easy a target.
Anyway. That's it for tonight. More to come soon.
Talk to you then!
