Woody Allen once said, “”If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans.”
It seems like a constant struggle to stay ahead of things lately. And as a so called “grown” adult I should know better now. If I was better funded I would pay for a secretary and a maid. And I would take them as 2 for 1 deal if I could.
I try am trying to stay on top of things and I keep failing miserably.
I have to find a way of avoiding people who expect me to know by reading their minds. If I could do that I would be better at dating because I would have won the lottery by now. I planned to have had accomplished some things by now. Like a few writing projects. A cleaner apartment. And things like that. But I keep finding out about the other things I need to do at the last minute. I always have to make last minutes adjustments. The reason is I am the last it seems “to get the memo”. And people wonder why I get pissed off. It is simple if you do not call and tell me than I have no idea what is going on. A deal breaker for me is to not even return a phone call. Or in this modern age an e-mail. I do not want to waste your time so do not waste my time. But the there is possible upside to not being called back. You begin to realize that your time has value and these people do not. And people who want to “read their minds” are definitely bumped to the head of this list.
But I need to continue on.
I watched the “The Last Lecture” this week. It makes you start to put things in perspective in ways you never thought about.
I also need to things that are inspiring and help to reassure you. And when you are the only person you know who is trying to do something it can be rough at times. I.E. being a writer. So you have to “do it yourself” more times than you can count. So I keep reminding myself with this series of videos. DIY or Die: How to Survive as an Independent Artist.
I want to say that I have a lot of projects that seem to be “colliding” together all at once. So to my regular readers, my blog postings may become a bit more sporadic that normal. I have been working a few longer scripts which maybe finally get done sometime over the next few months. As usual nothing will be posted until at least a first draft is done.
But for now it is “back to the grindstone”.
on “where I am coming from”. (NOTE: The bar or the bathroom is not the answer to this question. At least not at this moment.)
