Spirit Sundays!

I was going through some old files and came across this message I wrote on 9/7/11. I don't really know why I didn't post it then. Any way if you like the idea presented in the last paragraph let me know and I whack together a little something for our entertainment.

"This is the most important up-date you will read. It's soo important I'm alerting you on faceBook.

"Shipmates,
How could I have an up-date now you might ask...

"Well, I actually got this information confirmed about nine months ago. I waited to see if you really needed to know this and now I think you do.

"A lot of you have marked my utter lack of surprise at any announcement made by the owners of the ship, especially the ones relating to mission extensions. I'm not surprised because I know this mission will last at least three full years. That's a prophesy from God. I'm telling you this so you can adjust your expectations. Some of you may need to bail soon. Some of you really need to stop thinking and enjoy the ride.

"Note: if They put us back on double missions then they have to feed us. "Free" food = party. It's all in our attitude. I, for one, advocate silliness and am looking forward to it.

"On a related note: Spirit Sunday schedule will be available on Google calendars if you want in let me know. We'll be starting early with a high-five competition."

Fool’s Report 2012

A twelfth night tradition

2011 was an average year for me. The economy did me no favors. I was underemployed the whole year (which is better than being broke) and I was busy with side projects that paid nothing.

Main project of 2011: a punch list

•        Produced, Humor Me—an independent film
•        Produced, the La Mesa Spring Art Festival
•       First draft plays 
•   Wooden Cloak
• A Christmas thing.
•         One house remodel (still in progress)

I’m continuing my main identity crisis. I spent a ridiculous amount of time deciding I didn’t know what I want to do with my life. I don’t like aspects of my current job but I can’t tell if they are deal breakers yet.

Quite frankly I’m not pulling in enough income and the hours have always bothered me. I also don’t like the inherent instability in this industry. But then I realize that everything is temporary and nothing is stable so I should grow up and get over myself.

My brother thinks I should consider ministry (it’s the family “business”). The thought has crossed my mind but something in me is very reluctant to go that way.

Anyway, I expect this year to go pretty much like the one I just had with slight variations and I will write a similar report next year.

All is well, and so forth.
