Life in the fast lane

I can feel the burn for sure.

I think it's really interesting
how 6 months ago I was unemployed and suffering from a slight bought of
depression and anxiety. I was ready to bite down hard and start easing
my way down a slow spiral towards an abyss of hopelessness and self
loathing.

To put it mildly.

No since then I can't say
I've "Made it" by any means.. nor have I even come close to "breaking
in". But what I do have is fucking busy schedule! and that to me is
awesome.

My day basically consists of this.

8:00 - Wake up/hit snooze
8:30 - get out of bed, get dressed.
8:45 - Go running by the lachine canal.
9:20 - Get home, shower, pretty myself up
9:40 - Leave for work
Get Coffee
10:00 - Start work as Adam: Student Life Animator
12:00 - Eat lunch and work on "Dog Sitter" as Adam: Producer
Get Coffee
1:00 - Back to work as Adam: Student Life Animator
4:00 - still at work but I find time to be Adam: Corporate Filmmaker
Get Coffee
6:00 - Leave work
6:15 - Get home, make supper as Adam: Super Boyfriend.
7:30 - Work on a different Contract as Adam: Entrepreneur
9:00 - Shift to final draft and do some writing as Adam: Screenwriter
11:00 - Add to my blog here or dvxuser.com as Adam Blogger
12:00 - Fight sleep to read a book about film making as Adam: Film Student!
1:00 - Question why I am up so late and head to bed.
1:15 - Attempt a make out with sleeping girlfriend as Adam: Not-so-Super Boyfriend!
1:30 - Dream about acceptance speech.

This is so much better than my old schedule:
11:00 - Wake up
11:02 - Panic
11:30 - Send CV/Check Email/Look for job posting
2:00 - Masturbate
2:30 - Panic
3:00 - Send CV/Check Email/Look for job posting
4:00 - Clean something
5:00 - Eat something
5:30 - Panic
6:00 - Try to eat supper with girlfriend.
7:00 - Panic
8:00 - Send CV/Check Email/Look for job posting
10:00 - Panic
1:45 - Eat everything.
11:00 - Go to bed
12:00 - get up and Send CV/Check Email/Look for job posting
2:00 - Panic
4:00 - Fall Asleep, wake up, fall asleep, wake up...etc
7:00 - Dream about panicking

It's a wonder my girl stayed with me.
I'm going to buy her a ridiculously large present...no, it's not a ring.

Rebel With a Crew

Last night I finished reading "Rebel Without a Crew" by Robert Rodriguez. It got me so pumped to do this film! I feel like I'm gonna finally make something that will be substantial. Even though the book is pretty dated, It makes me think that my dream is possible. Everybody tells you that you can't make it in the biz and I think they say that to scare away the competition.

But another thing occurred to me. I realized "dog Sitter" is a movie I want to see. I think it's a real important breakthrough for me to realize this. I think Robert also hit on this in his book. I'm making this movie for me. I want to make movies and this is one I want to make!

It feels really good. I'm stoked. I have nothing of importance to write except that I am excited to make a movie and I want people to know that!

YEAH!
