24 hours...

A lot can happen in the span of 24 hours. Lives can begin. Relationships can end. I've had an entire relationship start, sky-rocket, fall flat to the ground and die within the span of 24 hours. Man I don't miss those days...

Right now the span of 24 hours I am focusing on is in January - when about 50 of a group of my closest and friends and working entertainment industry professionals whom I've never met will get together to write, direct, rehearse, and put up 6-7 one act plays to benefit charity.

And in preparation of said event, my last 24 hours have consisted of coordinating my talented and beautiful co-producers, working one of my several day-jobs, and an editing session with the DP of Moon Lake Casino.

Not much of an interesting post today - but I am excited to have had a day filled with forward momentum for my career. Come to think of it, if I could do every day what I did in the latter half of my day - I would really enjoy all of the 24-hour spans I could handle.

write or wrong - an introduction

I just really heard of blogging about a year ago (welcome to the world Jas) and this is my first ever blog. Whoo-hoo. Ahem. Anyway mine is called Write or Wrong because the farther I get away from my creative passions of writing and acting and directing, etc., the more wrong it feels. Ever feel that way? A lot of people do, few are able to admit it, but all who experience are at least lucky enough to have passion.
Passion - that's the key. Sometimes I mistake passion for crazy and visa versa. Like last week, I was working my day-job 3000 miles away in a small New England town full of people with big egos, and as the week progressed, so did my insanity, but I played it off as being a passionate, eccentric human being.
But I digress... passion. I need to have passion. Many of my friends are equally if not more passionate about their creativity but are yet confined by the needs of a day job. I actually have a pretty good day job managing projects for a renowned designer: a great deal of responsibility, having to travel, managing people in the office, working with a creative, eccentric (read: somewhat crazy) talent; and making less than half of what people who don't have outside career goals make. Why? I'm expendable. I'm another actor/writer/director, whatver- I could leave. Because I could possibly one day maybe book a role or sell a script or get a film that could maybe possibly affect the way my office runs, I have to settle for less money. It's not working for me any more, so what do I do? Complain and get more money? Well, yes I have done that and I will get more HOWEVER - too much money more will make me want to STAY in that position, right?
So I guess the deduction of this my first bitch, er, uh, BLOG is this - it is up to all of us who are working a "day-job" until we book that/sell that/get that whatever to BALANCE the creativity with the income, and be happy while doing it. At least that's how it seems today...
