Originally, this blog post was going to be about photography, as I've recently taken to picking up my recently self-repaired digital camera and snaping pictures of various locals and people. However, I realized that the entry was become very essay like, and it was killing my desire to actually write/finish the post. Plus, I was forming generalizations about photography from what may have simply reflected my own opinion, because what holds true for me, may not hold true for everyone regarding the subject.

There's something to be said for form and structure, and it's certainly helpful to focus a topic so it doesn't become inane ramblings that tumble from one subject to the next, but, dammit, this is my blog and it needs to reflect the way I think. I want to stimulate creativity, not boring sameness.

What I mean by this is that my writing should reflect my personality and give you, the reader, a sense of who I am. My sense of humor. As an example, look at the Vampire Chronicle novels by Ann Rice (which I'm currently rereading the second book in the series). The first book, Interview with the Vampire tells the story through the eyes of Louis. The second book, The Vampire Lestat is, obviously, told by Lestat de Lioncourt. The two books have a different feel as it reflects how those characters experience the world around them. You get a sense of who they are as the tales are recounted.

So from now on, that's what you're going to get. Me, and the way I experience this crazy world we live in.

Until next posting, salud.

Something Constant

"Four years of college, and plenty of knowledge, have earned me this useless degree!"

- Avenue Q

Okay. So I don't believe that college was completely worthless. I mean, I loved my major. How can you not love creating film and being part of a collaborative team? But now I'm out of college and feel a bit lost. It's surprisingly easy to lose touch with people, especially when you feel minutely socially awkard as I sometimes do. The creativity of those surrounding me while working on projects fueled my energy. It's as if I feed off that energy and once the source is taken away, I start to sputter and come to a halt much like a car running out of gas.

It's been tough getting myself motivated and the longer I'm out of the game, the harder it becomes. After all, I have to eventually find a constant job to support myself. I'd like to be able to make it on my own. So this blog is meant to give me some type of constant in my life that will help kick start my energy, motivation, and perhaps creativity as I write.

So look forward to my musings on different topics as pertains to my life at the time of blogging. Perhaps it will give me some insight to myself and help me move along the path to success.
