But thanks, I hope things do come together in a more general sense :-) Lol, well I actually just canceled it last night – but I did get a good contact out of it in spite of everything, so I’m trying not to get depressed!

You took a step with good preparation. I think it would be foolish to think everyone could take a jump during a recession without preparing financially. I have deep respect for people who are adventerous and live their dreams. My mom and band teacher taught me that dreams can come true with more hard work than luck. Hope is also important. I consider you and your brother in the top 10% of coolest people on the planet (after my big brother of course). Perhaps it's because in your quest to achieve your dreams you've inspired me and many others. There will always be people who tell you your dreams are crazy, however they are usually the ones who gave up on their own. In just a few years you've accomplished a lot of great things. Keep your heads high and your eyes on the goal. I agree in many ways. You took a step with good preparation.

I think most people spend the majority of their time thinking about what they should be doing, and how the little things of life keep getting in the way. Here is something I read on time management (paraphrased): "Identify the most important thing you should be doing right now, then do it until it's done. Repeat the process for best results." It's only when we have something we're supposed to be doing that suddenly doing the dishes seems really important. So true.

And that verse is really great. Philip and I have decided that we have to live this way or else we'll have a clean but empty life. A friend asked Philip how we do a lot of the things that we do, and he answered in a way that makes it all pretty clear ... we watch 12-15 hours less TV than a lot of other people, and we are okay with having a messy house. Well, I'm not always happy about it, but I've chosen to be okay with it in order for us to be able to incorporate the other things into our life that will bear more fruit, or crops, in the end.

I'm trying to pull together a 5-minute short that is taking a lot more out of me than I would expect - the location is iffy, my lead is moving out of state in a couple months, I haven't learned how to use the camera I'll be borrowing, and the date I've set for shooting scene 1 is supposed to be next week...bleh...
