bring it on

life's funny. i'm thirty something, but i really feel like i'm at the beginning of something great. i'm at a point where i'm learning a lot about different things. i'm feeling like a sponge that wants to absorb as much LIFE as i can. i'm out every night, whether it be in sac or at borders or at rehearsal or the theater (like tonight and tomorrow nite).

right now, my obsession is with imeem. i'm rediscovering old songs from back in the day which bring back a lot of memories like where was i when i first heard this. and i'm seeing this as an opportunity to explore more songs and artists. and on this search, i hope to be influenced by the new sounds, rhythms, and lyrics that will, fingers crossed, make me into a better artist. and this is what i'm trying to do with both theater and film. trying to watch and experience as much life as i can before the fire burns out.

but this begs the question as to whether or not i'll burn myself out and/or spread myself thin. we'll see.

i'm trying to focus on my GOALS:

1) get my play, A DANCE IN THE GARDEN OF DREAMS, produced. meaning that i need to have other people see it. i don't need a big production or anything, just an audience and i'll have one of my life's goals completed.
2) write more! plays, poetry, blog entries. just write!
3) start a writing workshop for sftppa.
4) learn. i'm going to a couple of workshops offered through AATC. producing and playwriting workshops. plus, i've just signed up to take a writing workshop with Jessica Hagedorn! we'll see how that goes.
5) experience life. with all this craziness happenning, i still want to STOP and spend time with the people who mean so much to me. my mom's already having fits that i don't spend time with her, but i have other family members in sac that i NEED to catch up with... xle that means you!

enough goals. i'm out!
