Meandering far and wide.

Day two of my scouting expeditions has been equally enjoyable as the first. I am fairly certain I travelled several roads I have never travelled before today. And I certainly got to see quite a few beautiful sights equally new. I'm not sure what my current plan for tomorrow is yet but I hope it follows suit reasonably well.

The beautiful, scenic Washington.

Today, as was part of my scouting duties, I travelled hundreds of miles through the countrysides of Washington. In search of that perfectly suited 'small town', I diverged from the path more travelled and saw the more bounteously picturesque landscapes around until darkness claimed its visage in its own repetitive, unceremonious way. Tomorrow I look forward to more of the same.

The beautiful Thanksgiving Day.

I am quite grateful for my awesome and extensive family. They always remind me of the best things in life. I look forward to someday building my own.

The beginning of 'that' time of the year.

The season is a powerful influence, I must admit. It has all kinds of emotional landscapes colliding to be traversed in every direction. I imagine my entries will tend to be somewhat disjointed or erratic over the next couple months. Just a heads up, I guess.

The rapidly spinning clock hands.

And not just the second, minute or hour hands at that. Every week and month has seemed to take an abbreviated route lately. Though some of that comes as a result of impending deadlines, or in this case funlines!(not a real word... though, a definitely real concept!) The movie shoot will shortly be upon us and it will definitely be an excellent experience. Fun, challenging, tiring, exciting, and instructive all in one package!(and so many more descriptive words than that!)

Delightfully challenging decisions.

We finished casting our upcoming commercial and I think we were quite fortunate with the turnout we were afforded. It was a very close pick between two of the candidates and we probably would have done fine with two other of the one's that tried out. I think we are going to produce something quite good and I look forward to the rest of the production process quite a bit!

The beautiful earth.

This place which I have chosen to inhabit is incredibly picturesque. Exploring it's meandering nature tracts, even only superficially, impresses my soul immensely... a pleasure to behold, a greater joy to become. Lasting and positive reflection.

Loud music mayhem.

I really enjoy loud music... but I really enjoy the feel of it more than it's loudness, I would say. I guess that's the typical perspective of a bass player... well... the one's that recognize the source of said feeling.

The excitement of a sale.

We sold a show at my work today. This is a big deal because this means we now have quite a bit of work ahead of us to fulfill the order. It is also the first time that we have made any sales in at least a couple or so years. Everybody was quite excited about it and I am glad for the good news, indeed!

Things move along.

We made some decent progress in our moving activities today. It's cool to see things start coming together. It's always cool to see where things can go, too, as there is still so much work to be done. The weeks ahead should be pretty fun!

Ramping up for the big move.

I think it is quite an experience to relocate just about anything... doing it with a fairly major organization is a whole different thing altogether. It's good for me since it gives me so much to do but also because I am sure to learn a lot about what is going on behind the scenes during the process. Fun stuff!

Work brings a good feeling.

As motion and productivity always lead to somewhere different, and usually better, in life. I am quite glad for the various jobs I currently enjoy. They all have a wide variety of interesting activities involved with a wide variety of responsibilities attached. So much more interesting than the typical day job right now!(nothing against those)

Extended weekend break.

I expected to be more productively engaged in my projects today but did not end up having any particular need to do so, unfortunately. So it was a pretty quiet day. But I know the storm starts tomorrow. It should be fun, indeed.

The calm between the storms.

Which is normally how a weekend usually should be. Friday work was pretty intense and, starting Tuesday, work will pick right back up to a similar level once again. It is a good thing. It brings a certain level of security that I appreciate for sure.

Things getting busier by the day!

Now I know I have a lot to do with my own projects AND I have a lot to do with my work obligations. Possibly all the way through the end of the year, even. Which means I should be sleeping... now. Ha.

The birth of a new future.

Every day presents the seeds of possibility in many various forms. It is at the times when they become most recognizable that my optimism and courage gain roots of their own. I have said it before(possibly many times) that I think the aspect of hope is vastly overlooked in its importance. The statements usually revolve around attitude, I suppose, but there is real merit to paying attention to the effects and need of hope. And I am glad for this realization, yet again.

More little steps.

I am still getting closer to finishing one of the re-edits I have been working on. The progress wasn't dramatic but even little bits of progress are nice. It'll be nice to get a solid portfolio together soon... ish.

Monday, monday.

It was so reasonable to me. A lazy way to start the week. I have a lot to do and plenty of time to do it... weird. You won't hear me make that statement very often. Now I just need to take advantage of it before it disappears unexpectedly.

Friends make all the difference.

And I am glad for all the awesome ones that I have in my life. I don't always make very much effort to actively participate in the life experience with the many wonderful people I know... but when I do I am always richly rewarded. Plus, weekends are cool.

A pleasant weekend.

I have enjoyed the lazy of lazy days today. It seems like a fitting follow-up to the last couple days worth of work and labor. A delightful respite. Plus a pleasant evening's performance to cap it all off... a very nice day.

Learning from a master.

I tend to enjoy watching high-quality work as it happens because I get to learn like crazy. Today I was especially lucky because the guys I worked with were open to allowing me to observe them as they worked. It was the kind of experience I would have paid for if I wasn't actually already getting paid for anyway.

Workin' hard.

I really enjoy doing the things which are difficult, yet at the same time I have some proficiency with, for the experience and opportunity to improve. I really enjoy working with very professional, high-talent people as well. Always a great learning opportunity all over the place!

Interstellar... or interwormholer?

I don't have the time to write a proper review at the moment but my initial statements will be as follows: dang, that movie is awesome. Matthew McConaughey now appears on the far side of two different wormholes in his career. Big screen, big beauty, big awesome! If I have time tomorrow I'll give a more detailed analysis.

Artistically inspired.

Sometimes all you need is to see the beautiful works of another artist. Sometimes just seeing the process a little helps. Sometimes even just knowing somebody who has done it brings a spark of motivation. Sometimes it only takes a bit of learning. And in every situation it takes action to make anything happen.

The big week?

Due to illness this last week took a turn into the delay department for any big life-type changes that were kind of looming on the horizon. It seems pretty likely that it could happen this week, though, and that is kind of exciting. I have a good deal of enthusiasm for the possibilities, anyway, and that is good enough for me.

Way too late.

But better now than never. Even if the content is nearly nonsense. At least I get an extra hour of sleep... thank you daylight savings!

Good times with good, goofy people.

I quite enjoyed the social interaction tonight. It is something I really need to engage in more often. I spend far too much time of my life alone, even if it is productive. Regular socialization is definitely a piece of a successful life formula. And I should probably not be so wordy about it and just start getting back in the action somehow.
