Still Starting Something New

Once again I have neglected my blog for an extended period of time. Once again I apologize for this. 

First thing's first. Guess what today is. Yes, it's hump day. Woo WOO! HUMP DAYYY! 

Also! and here's a hint: Do you remember?

Anybody? Eh? Ehhh???

"Do you remember/The 21st night of September?" Yup HAPPY EARTH, WIND, AND FIRE DAY!!!

PARTY ON!!!

Everybody good? Good because there's a LOT to go over.

So remember how I decided to move back home? I've been living here in Georgia at my parents' place since the end of March. Their generosity has been amazing, and I can't thank them enough for helping me out. Yes, I do want my own place eventually, but that's not going to happen for a while.

I worked this summer as choreographer with KidsCamp at Newnan Theatre Company. It was AWESOME! I met a lot of cool new peeps and had a blast. Sure, kids aren't really my thing, but after working at an amusement park for 9 years, I know how to handle them. You just ignore them right? Right.

I've rediscovered a passion of mine that I haven't been able to explore in a while. CHOREOGRAPHY. I forgot how much I love to create something out of dance and movement. I guess I'm pretty good at it too because I'm also choreographing for NTC's production of The Addams Family. It's going to be our Halloween show. I'm very honored to be a part of it. We've got an insanely talented cast. It's going to be AMAZING!

That was my summer job and fall fun. However that does not bring in the moolah. Much less any money at all. And I gots stuff to do. I didn't move up here for nothing. I struggled for a month and a half after KidsCamp ended in mid-July. Then I did something I should've done when I first moved down. I asked my sistah gurl Ann to help get me a job at Target. AND I GOT IT!

So yes now I'm a crazy Target guy. I work flow, which means unloading the trucks three mornings or more a week. It's actually kinda great because the schedule is similar to what I was working before I left Disney. 6am-noonish. Yes, the mornings are early, but I prefer to get work out of the way and have the rest of the day to myself. Anyway I unload the truck, and I've been pushing (i.e. stocking) the Electronics department before helping out wherever else I'm needed in the store. It's grunt work for sure, but it's a pretty sweet gig. THANKS ANN!!!

Hmm let's see. Happily living in Georgia, choreography, Target... Did I miss anything? That month and a half where I didn't have a job was rough not only financially but emotionally as well. I spent lots of time (read: too much time) pondering life decisions. But I've got a job now, money is rolling in, and I'm staying pretty busy. That being said, I do miss my Whorlandians VERY MUCH. I love every single one of you, and I hope to see ya real soon! And I can't believe I just said that.

As for getting into film? Yes, that's still a dream of mine. Right now I just need to get my feet footed firmly in the ground. I'm still writing in my spare time. That screenplay I've been working on for years? Still working on it. I think my problem was I wasn't sure how it was going to end. I'd been aimlessly writing with no end in sight. But I've fixed that now so hopefully I'll finish the script sometime in the next 10 years.

Okay I think that's quite enough of that. Get ready for the next post because it's gonna be really fun. Until then, peace!
