The Cars, Eddie Money, and My planner

I don't know what it is about music from the 80's, but it just makes me want to get up and go. The Cars, Duran Duran (Playing at the Saint Augustine Ampitheater next month, I'm considering attending..if I have money), The Go-Gos... I love all genres, but the music from the decade I was born really wakes me up.

So craziness has set in. I hate routine, so now my life has become this never-ending cycle of change. If I don't have my planner, I don't remember what I'm supposed to do. Work, phone calls, emails, day jobs, auditions, performances, more auditions, brainstorming and production sessions. Even on my slow days, I can't remember to do things like take my leftover lunch out of the break-room fridge.

I know as a Third Culture Kid, I crave constant change and variety because it's what I'm used to, but how do you know when it reaches an extreme? I know some people who moved way more than I have, have the desire to travel, but would be perfectly content where they are right now. It makes me feel super restless and flighty. How do I know when it's the TCK or the twenty-something in me?

Anyone else know what that feels like?

Confession #3: I've been running away

Well, it's been a year. Hasn't it?

I know what you're thinking. Maybe I was busy or distracted, and I was, but is that really a valid excuse?

This time last year, my life was totally different, but I know my life has changed for the better. So, the gap that is here in my blog, it makes no difference. Not even a blip on my life's radar.

Now I'm not saying my life is perfect now, but it's pretty close. I'm in a somewhat new place. I have a full time job (that I am nowhere near in love with), a boyfriend (who I am in love with, but no where near), and abounding opportunities near me to do something I love.

Right now, I am working on a film set. I have spent the last five weekends away from my full time job, cut off from the world for three whole days once a week, working with an amazing team to bring a vision and message to life. It is by far, the most fun I have had in a long time. Loving every minute of it.

So it's a new dawn, a new day

and I'm feeling good.
