My Dream

I have talked with some friends recently about my future, about whether to pursue the job that would economic stability, and certainly help me fit in well with my folks. On the other hand, it's always been my dream to be a film maker, or to create a television show. I would live to be a director in the biz. To create, to tell stories, to help people feel something. Thats what I want to do.

It has always been a dream of mine, but the reason it has been on my mind so much lately is that over the past couple weeks we have been making some silly movies at work. And it reminded me so...entirely of my dream. It has been simply fun. And editing them on my laptop has been great, though my power cable decided to crap out on me and I have to buy a new one which costs like eighty bucks (like...are you kidding me?!)

Anyways...I want to follow my dream. More now than ever. It just seems so daunting. And so very frightening to be honest.

Absolutely

Examining the behavior of people is very interesting. Have you ever just thought about the behavior of people? Look a little bit deeper at your friends, co-workers, and peers. It's simply fascinating...or scary, depending on the person.

One particular behavior of people is the changing of your personality depending on those who you are around. It's like we all take a set of masks around with us wherever we go, swapping them when the setting around us changes. I suppose the question that line of thought begs is whether or not we ever take off our masks at all. If you never take off your mask around any person, it means that nobody knows the real you, and your lying to everyone. If you never take off your mask period, it means that your even lying to yourself.

The word of the day at work yesterday was absolutely. Chris and I decided this because of how often we were hearing the word absolutely being spoken around the office yesterday. When...when are we absolute? When are we absolutely ourselves? What happens when we wear our masks so much that we forget the person underneath? Absolute. Meaning complete, perfect, pure and certain. Do we absolutely know who we are underneath anymore?

Regarding myself and being slightly less serious, I have been making a lot of purchases lately. Take that, bad-economy! No seriously, my brother and I decided to give ourselves Christmas and now it's time to start cutting back. We bought a new TV for the basement and I also bought like five new blu-ray movies. Its gonna be awesome, but I think I have reached my limit for a while.

"Rates!" Our rats are low first post!

After having multiple blogs across several sites, it seems I am the last to the Blogger/Blogspot party. But hey, it looks like there still is some punch left!

Anywho, my name is Andrew. This is my new blog, and I hope that somebody is actually reading this. Writing a blog that nobody ever reads (as my now no-comment myspace blog has shown me) gets old. So lets hope I get some visitors!
