Slow Days
I was just reading another blog started off talking about slow days, and today was one of those. I get into this mood that, it gets so busy and when I have a day at home, my mind just wants to sleep in bed, relax and just take everything easy. But in actuality, really it’s a catch-up day, a day I need to do all kinds of work that would take the entire day and would be able to finish. Today, I had a list of things to do, I only accomplished a small number of those, and still not even completely finished with them. Right now, things are adding up and I need to take a day off of nothing, and then take a day off catching up on everything, that’s what I need. In order to do that I’ll have to wait two more weeks to slow down a little (besides the gearing up for a huge film project to be shot at the end of next month, so time will catch up on that as well.
In the mean time I came across this hilarious website with these photos and I miss my girlfriend dearly. I can’t wait until I get to see her again, just 63 days until I graduate and will be able to shift my life to her direction, turn my boat to hers. I just recently wrote a paper on a metaphor of me and wrote about myself as a kayak, also got a lot of responses from it, but love it so much, here’s the post:
“I would have to say the best way to describe me currently is like a
kayaker. At the moment I feel that way for many reasons and looking
at it in various ways. One possible reason is the paths that I set
goals on, the rivers or streams. I feel I am always heading down this
stream and sometimes unforeseen weather or currents rush up on me,
while other times it’s calm and steady and no work or endurance needs
to be taken. Not only is it sometimes rough, but has different paths
to choose from, could split to a dead end or just a longer way off
course of my original heading. Or sometimes, it might be too shallow
and I’ll get stuck, or even sometimes have flipped over. But, the
goal is the ocean for me, and it fits so perfect because in every goal
when I finally reach it I am free, I have accomplished that
challenge. Right now, that goal is my future, and after I graduate
this coming May, but have no idea what that ocean looks like just know
the name which is filmmaking. On this trip, it’s taken me here to LA
after a long struggle through school, rapid waters and lengthy
endurance. At times it has loosened up to just flow with a steady
current, but now I’ve come to many forks and going down one, another
comes up and many choices come my way, but I know that I’m not too far
from reaching another point to see further ahead, or finally reach the
ocean and restart on the next river. There are many ways to view the
goal also, that being the ocean, whether it’s just on this journey and
my next achievement, or my lifetime goal. It speaks in so many ways
in my spiritual life, physical and mental realms. And I choose a
kayak, because it’s a one-man boat, to be able to have strength and
courage to move along my path, but also remain humble and not a huge
boat or ship. I’m just a single person, who can help out others and
connect to form larger boats, but not someone who will try and be
seen, just to reach that next goal, and with God in mind.”
Off to sleep now! Also… new demo reel:
