Starting (not completely) Over.

   "Because life is change."
 
   Motivational speakers always make sense to me, I don't know if it's because I'm so used to talking to my dad about life in the car.  It seems like there are those special few people in the world that get it, and it makes me happy that I'm not the only one who isn't scared to let go and truly live my life.
   Each one is different, and I love it.  We never stop being students, though some people choose to stop learning.  My life will be over when I lose my passion to learn.

Here's to Hope

   I'm working on a video.  And if I rock it I will spend the entire summer traveling and making a video blog for the Sierra Club.... that's pretty good incentive I'd say.  Granted I'll have to give up a lot, like steady work hours and spending time with the boy.... but it would be awesome!!!
   Seriously, "base camp" would be in San Francisco, but I'd be traveling all over the US.... what a summer of travels it would be... London for May and the rest of the US for June, July, August... and then back to school. Craziness. But it would be so awesome.
   Anyway, I think I have all the visuals of the video done, so now I just have to record the audio and I'll be all set to put it on YouTube and let the votes come in. *Fingers Crossed*
   Even if I don't get it, I will have London. Which I'm so excited for, nervous... very nervous. But excited regardless.  It's gonna be a big job recording and editing this research project... a very big job.  It'll be interesting, but chalk it up to experience.  It's a step in the right direction.  Not to mention I'm gonna start a TV show next semester and I was going to use the summer to get that ball rolling.... argh. So much I want to do... not to mention all the things I need to do.
   Ah well.  Life wouldn't be fun if it wasn't crazy and threatening to spin out of control at any moment.  But I've never been thrown off a horse, life won't do it either.

Opening a New Book

   I love starting a new book, of any kind.  Notebook, textbook, MacBook; but I especially love opening a new story book.  Love the feel of the pages, the introduction of the characters, the idea of something new.  The idea that I'm about to be taken on some new adventure.
   This is the idea I have adopted for my life, everyday is a new book, a new adventure of my own creation.  And I'm done with letting other people write my stories, because I am a writer.  I am a lover of words and ideas and adventures.

   So welcome to my story, my new book.  The spine is uncreased, the pages unturned, the story unread.
   It is full of frustration and sorrow, full of joy and hope.  But mostly, it's full of my words.

And that's what most important.
