Wilmington Here I Come

New blog

2009-09-11T20:43:00.002-05:00

I'm starting a small review blog for my own writing practice and your enjoyment. Check it out at http://reviewsbykc.blogspot.com.

The End

2009-07-01T11:24:00.002-05:00

This is it. This chapter of my book is closing. I made it to Wilmington and therefore feel that this blog has run it's course. I made the first step in the big journey that is my career. I don't know what is to come from this move or when or if my dream will come true. All I know is that I am on my own and for the most part it is amazing. I have never felt more alive or free and scared all at the

There are no words, just wonderful memories.

2009-06-22T20:30:00.000-05:00

If you had told me in January that by logging on to blogger and following Southern Gothic Productions that I would meet some of the greatest people and make some of the best friends I have ever had, I would have called you crazy. But that is exactly what happened this week in Wilmington, NC. I had the opportunity to hang out with 7 of the funniest, craziest and best people I have meet in as long

Birthday Surprises

2009-06-07T23:44:00.002-05:00

Thanks to my wonderful sister and best friend I had one of the best birthday surprises given to me in a long long time. My sister flew in my best friend Lindsay from Orlando to be here for my birthday. I had no idea she was coming and didn't think I would get to see her before I moved. It was the even more impressive because Lindsay can hardly ever keep anything from me and she held on to this

Life is a Highway

2009-06-05T16:07:00.003-05:00

I have never been an open book, I have never wanted to share my thoughts with others, I have never been a risk taker, and I have never felt safer in doing any of it. Thats what the community at SoGoPro have done for me and I can never thank them enough for it. In a week I will be moving into my brand new apartment in Wilmington, NC. I will be away from my family (when they leave on Tuesday) and

Happiness

2009-06-03T19:35:00.002-05:00

How do you measure a life? Love? Happiness?Everyone is different. Some measure their worth off of the stuff they own while others the amount of people they are surrounded by. Does the outside world make you happy or do you find your own happiness in side. When you die do you want people to look back at the things you accomplished, the things you owned or the kind of person you were? I don't care

Reality TV

2009-06-02T12:03:00.003-05:00

Today's idea of celebrity is really irritating to me. You can be a celebrity for doing absolutely nothing. Cases in point: Paris Hilton, The Real Housewives of (Insert Major City Name Here), and Jon and Kate plus 8 gang. I'm sorry but being a rich kid or allowing cameras to follow you around your so called "real" life are not attributes that make you a celebrity in my eyes. What do you really

I Officially Have an Apartment!!!

2009-05-31T21:09:00.003-05:00

It's as official as official can be. I signed my lease for my apartment tonight and I leave a week from Thursday for my 2 days journey to Wilmington. Day 1 will be driving from here to Atlanta then on day 2 we drive from Atlanta to Wilmington. It's all very exciting. I'm picking out furniture tomorrow to order and SOOO EXCITED! This will be the first time that I furnish a whole apartment on my

Let the Farewell Tour Begin

2009-05-29T23:40:00.003-05:00

I told myself I wouldn't blog when I was upset. That I wouldn't blog when I was emotional and things just spill out. But lately all I am is upset and emotional so it seems like I have no choice but to do it. I am moving in 2 weeks and the farewell tour to things in NWA officially kicked off tonight. I've been preparing myself for months for this but the feelings have never been more real. I

To Brighten Your Day

2009-05-27T13:26:00.002-05:00

I know most of you who read this blog have been working very hard on various projects and because of this I wanted to post something to help brighten your day. Now I know it is not the Holiday season but this one makes me laugh every time.This next one is a classic that some might just need to be reminded of.And finally...I hope these helped make your day a little better.

Rediscovered Music

2009-05-27T01:11:00.003-05:00

After playing a round of who knows what song at work I came across a lot of songs that I forgot about. I wanted to share some of them with you.

Curtains Only Hide the Scared.

2009-05-25T00:14:00.003-05:00

Even the Wizard of Oz had to come out from behind the curtain and face the world. This being said I have decided to stop hiding, to put myself out there and to make my dreams come true. I'm going to shoot for the stars, ask for the moon, and hope that I am not disappointed in the end. I have been told by many people recently that you can't get what you want if you aren't willing to ask for it. I

Home Sweet Home

2009-05-23T22:05:00.003-05:00

I have never appreciated the world around me until I have been faced with leaving it for what I can only assume would be for a semi permanent amount of time. I swear that the sky has never been bluer, the leaves on the trees have never been greener, and I'm discovering things I have never noticed before. I am going to miss NWA and everything it has to offer. I love my hometown and always will. I

Taking A Break From It All

2009-05-19T23:13:00.002-05:00

I'm taking a break from everything for a couple of days. I need to focus on packing, garage sale stuff, spending time with the family, and enjoying my last couple weeks at home. I will catch up with everyone when I feel better about things in the next couple of days. Before I go I wanted to share one more thing that I was reminded of today.

You May Hate Me For This But...

2009-05-19T00:50:00.002-05:00

I loved tonight's One Tree Hill. I was shocked and confused and intrigued all at the same time. It didn't feel like a season finale. It felt more like a series finale which reminded me a lot of Season 4 when we left them in high school. No one knows what can possibly come next. We didn't know what would happen to these characters, what would they do during college, where would they be, who would

Fitting In

2009-05-17T00:41:00.002-05:00

What do you do when you want to be part of a crowd but you don't want to fight to stand out?Lately I have wanted to fit in, be part of the group, feel like I'm a part of something but at the same time I don't want to fight to stand out. I don't want to force myself to be seen. I don't want to have to try to fit in. I just want to fit in, to feel connected. So what do you do if you don't feel

Funny Videos

2009-05-16T22:57:00.003-05:00

I wanted to share some videos that make me laugh every time.

Wanted to Share

2009-05-14T23:49:00.002-05:00

I wanted to share this story that my news station did tonight after the Grey's Anatomy season finale. I am glad that we were able to use something to help save a life later on.

Random Trips Down Memory Lane

2009-05-14T21:50:00.002-05:00

While packing up the contents of my room and preparing for the garage sale that I put off to next weekend I have been having random trips down memory lane. Random items or groups of items have brought back some wonderful/not so wonderful memories.This all started right before I left for my trip to Wilmington. In a rush to find a printer cable at my parents house I came across an old coke bottle

Sweet Silver Lining

2009-05-14T00:24:00.002-05:00

I don't have much to say today, just to much going on to process and really write it out but I heard this song on Monday's OTH and bought it that afternoon and have fallen in love with it. It speaks so much about things that I am feeling right now. This is why Kate Voegele's songs play on repeat on my iPod.I’m going home down hearted and hoping I’m close to some new beginning I know there’s a

Out of the loop

2009-05-12T01:03:00.000-05:00

So I feel like I'm neglecting my duties as a friend. I am so out of the loop on current events with everyone else. It's time to stop being so wrapped up in my own life and the changes that are coming that I haven't took the time to really talk to anyone lately. Well no more. I want to know how everyone is doing. I have missed all my chat buddies. Between my vacation and the craziness that has

It's Official!!!

2009-05-11T21:48:00.001-05:00

The first part of making my dreams happen is that much closer. I am officially moving into an apartment in Wilmington, NC on June 12th. I was approved today and will be signing the lease in the next week or so. I am so excited. Now all I need to do is find a job to pay for the rent and I am on my way!!!!!

An Ode To Mothers

2009-05-10T12:41:00.002-05:00

In honor of mothers day I have been reflecting on my mother.I have been fortunate enough to have an amazing mother. She has been my biggest supporter, friend, caretaker, my everything. She has always supported my wild ideas, change in dreams, and everything in between. Even during my rebellious teenage years (actually I was 19 almost 20 and it lasted all of a summer) she stuck by me and helped me

Fun Times in Wilmington

2009-05-08T23:13:00.001-05:00

More VideosOur first excursion at the Rivercourt. Trying my skills at interviewing. This is at the 6th Street Bridge. Yet again with my interview skills.

Video Time

2009-05-08T20:00:00.002-05:00

So due to an extreme lack of time and energy and a lot of planning and packing going on I haven't have time to go through and compile my videos. Until now. So here it is video #1. I hope you enjoy it.This is our drive from the airport trying to find our hotel with my Tom Tom. Maybe I should have drove.

Random Thoughts Running Through My Head

2009-05-06T21:25:00.000-05:00

I have been doing a lot of thinking since my return from Wilmington. Lots of soul searching and lots of randomness. All in all I feel more comfortable about my decision to move and to do it very soon. I am going to miss home and my family and friends that are here but I know that this move is what's best for me. I have watched others chase their dreams and have everything they ever wanted in

A Wonderful Occurrence of Events

2009-05-05T23:46:00.004-05:00

My amazing experiences with the SGP team were not limited to vlogs and bars. A little before my random and amazing meeting with Hilarie Burton at the Copper Penny I was told that we had the opportunity to go tour the OTH sets with KT. So the morning of the vlog shoot we got up and I called to set up a time to meet KT and headed out to the studio. After getting there and

SGP and Me

2009-05-04T21:37:00.002-05:00

Now you may be tired of reading about what SGP and what Hilarie, Nick, KT, and the gang mean to me but after returning from my vacation in Wilmington I need to share it one more time. It's one thing to share things with your fans over the internet and allow them a little access into your world but what they did for me this week was so much more than that.As I have already posted I got to meet

Good Luck, Good Times, and Amazing People

2009-05-04T00:53:00.005-05:00

Preface: This post was originally written 4/30/2009 at 4:44 PM right after I returned to the hotel from filming the vlog with Hilarie and Nick. Here is what I wrote in reflection of what happened. As everyone knows I am in Wilmington scooping out my future place of residence. Well as part of my plan I decided that the best way to know a place was to see it's night life,

Video Preview

2009-05-02T19:05:00.004-05:00

A 5 hour layover will cause you to go crazy if you let it. However I have enough stuff to sort through after my amazing trip that I am no where close to bored. I wanted to share 1 quick video that we shot while we were in Wilmington as a little preview of what is to come. Now our videos pretty much were me filming Lindsay and asking her a series of questions but there are a few on camera

Heading Home

2009-05-02T13:53:00.000-05:00

Blogging from an airplane. It might be offical that you can blog from anywhere. I am on my first flight on my way home and it is stirring mixed feelings in me. On one hand I can't wait to see my family, sleep in my own bed, play with my puppies and cats and do everything that makes it home but at the same time I don't want to leave Wilmington. I have never been anyplace like it and I have never

And The Adventure Begins

2009-04-29T15:47:00.003-05:00

So I have been in Wilmington almost 24 hours now and it has been eventful already. Flew in last night, rested briefly before getting ready and heading out to Front Street.After walking up and down Front Street for a while we stopped at the Reel Cafe and had a couple drinks before heading down to The Whiskey to hear Bibis play. Now I loved her music on Myspace and on SGP but she's even better live

I Have Arrived

2009-04-28T17:32:00.001-05:00

I am officially on Wilington and have spent the first hour stuck at the airport waiting for Lindsay to make it to town and pick me up. While not so patiently waiting outside a very me song came on "I wear my sunglasses at night". At this current moment I am sprawled out on a bench rocking my favorite white shades. The song instantly put a smile on my face and made this wait just a little more

Leg One of Tavel Complete

2009-04-28T14:36:00.000-05:00

I have arrived in Charolette, my first and only lay over on my way to Wilmington. The flight was fairly smooth and uneventful which is the way I like them. I decided to start "The Secret Life of Bees" for this trip because it is short and on that can be read on these flights. I forgot what a good book it is and how much I want to see that movie again.I am trying to find something to do to

And The Countdown Begins

2009-04-27T15:38:00.000-05:00

Pre-travel jitters are officially starting to set in. I have so much to get done in the next 24 hours. Packing, cleaning, organizing, etc. So much to get done. I can't wait to get the traveling part of his trip over with. I'm not a huge fan of flying and I would rather just be there rather than here. So many little details to finalize as well. Good thing I've gotten very good at operating on no

Quick Update

2009-04-27T00:47:00.002-05:00

In 36 hours I will be on a plane on my way to Wilmington, NC.My bags are "packed", my itinerary is set, the hotel is booked, and I am so ready to go.Prepare yourself for videos, blogs, pictures, and so much more.Life over the last several days has been busy, therefore I have not had time to blog. Friday and Saturday were a blur full of family time, the Race for the Cure, work, packing, and a

Possum Hunting

2009-04-23T23:44:00.001-05:00

As I pull in my driveway tonight I am greeted by my cat sitting where my car normally parks. After sitting at the end of the driveway for a couple seconds I realize what my cat is stalking, a possum. He shall be named Harrold in this story, Harrold was walking across my porch. Now I have a slight fear of possums. It dates back to the time when I was at home and a possum got in our cat food holder

Save You

2009-04-22T23:51:00.002-05:00

Tonight was Kelly Clarkson night on my iPod. More specifically her new album. There was one song that really stood out to me. "Save Me"Here are the lyrics:I can tell, I can tell how much you hate thisAnd deep down inside, you know it's killing meI can call, wish you well and try to change thisBut nothing I can say would change anythingWhere were my senses, I left them all behindWhy did I turn

Comfort

2009-04-21T05:40:00.000-05:00

Every night(or morning) right after I have brushed my teeth and washed my face there is a moment where I am about to lay down in bed and go to sleep (yes I do occasionally sleep). In this moment I am 100% comfortable. I am not self conscious, there are no doubts, no fears, no worries, just 100% at ease with my life. It is the only time I am 100% me. No makeup, hair in a ponytail, basketball

Busy, Busy, Busy

2009-04-21T01:14:00.000-05:00

I wished for my life to get out of the pattern it was in and I find myself in a whirlwind of activity. Baseball games, work, old friends, new friends, trip planning, move planning, life planning. So much to do and so little time to do it in. Can someone invent a time machine or a time slower downer, or anything that will help my time issues?I love a busy life style, it's actually how I function

Who knew a rainbow could make you think so much?

2009-04-19T04:36:00.000-05:00

Friday night I went to the baseball game. Now I will admit that I didn't watch much baseball, I spent most of the night catching up with old friends and walking around. It was nice because I haven't seen some of these people since last October. While I was walking around there was a rainbow behind the stadium. It was a complete rainbow, all the colors and you could see both ends. It was beautiful

Opening Up

2009-04-19T03:20:00.002-05:00

So I'm trying out this "Live" feed thing. I actually might like it. This is odd to me because I am the person that hates being in front of the camera. The person who hides away when one is even pointed near her direction. But knowing that someone could possibly be watching (I don't know why they would I'm a pretty boring person unless I break out the Rock Band) has helped me get used to the ideas

Arkansas Incentives

2009-04-17T15:50:00.002-05:00

http://www.forbes.com/feeds/ap/2009/04/03/ap6254254.htmlSo I've been watching this since I first heard they were trying to get it passed. This is really good news for me because I was looking at making my movie around here and now the incentives have come up to make it better to do so.I am also watching the battle over incentives in NC. I think every state should do what they can to encourage the

It's All Good!

2009-04-17T12:49:00.002-05:00

I wanted to follow up on my last post. Last night was Opening Day at Arvest Ballpark and as my post said I was a little nervous about going. Well I have a tendency to over analyze things and I believe last night was just a case of that. I have never had such a warm reception from people.It was mainly the same staff that I had last year which made me really proud that I was able to find a solid

1 year ago today.

2009-04-16T09:39:00.002-05:00

Just around 1 year ago today I was running around like a chicken with it's head cut off. It was Opening Day of the Inaugural season of the Northwest Arkansas Naturals baseball team and I was an intern working her very first baseball game ever. Now I had never been to a minor league baseball game let alone worked one. I was new to everything and like many others had no idea what to expect.I had

Something New Everyday

2009-04-16T02:12:00.002-05:00

If One Tree Hill was the little engine that could TV show, then Southern Gothic Productions is well on it's way to being the little engine that could Production Company. Watching the progress of this company brings something new and amazing and inspiring everyday. From Hil's videos, to Nick and Austin's writings, to their T-Shirt enterprise everyday that I check the site and find something new I

Random Funny Story

2009-04-15T00:28:00.000-05:00

So I was reminded of this story after a conversation with my friend Lindsay tonight.3 years ago when I was still living in Orlando her family was visiting Hilton Head Island for a week during the summer. So I decided to take a couple days off of work and drive the 5 hours north to visit her and crash her family vacation. Ok so I worked until about 4 am the night before, went home showered, packed

Traveling Soul

2009-04-14T23:50:00.002-05:00

I have a traveling soul.I want to travel the world. I have a secret journal full of places and things I want to see. I have always joked with Lindsay about how we need to get rich now so we can travel. I even told my mom the other day that I was going to either be a big time producer/director and travel the world for a living or be someone's assistant and travel the world. Shooting high and

Help Others, Help Yourself

2009-04-13T00:14:00.004-05:00

I've lost my inspiration. Not my drive but my inspiration. I am still pushing for what I want but creatively I'm stuck. I can't write, can't edit, even forgot some of the music I used to know how to play.I am blaming this on an extreme lack of sleep. coupled with a crazy work schedule, not a lot of down time and not a lot of focus. Either way I'm blocked and my inspiration is gone. That little

Friendship and Forgiveness

2009-04-11T01:53:00.000-05:00

Friendship. Webster's defines friendship as the state of being friends. So if friendship is the state of being friends then it is assumed that you must be friends in order to have a friendship with someone.Well what if your friendship is strand, with time and pain and loss? What if you haven't been a friend to this person or them in return? Can you then call it a friendship? Can it ever be a

Mena, AR Tornado

2009-04-10T23:32:00.002-05:00

Just wanted to make a quick post and say that my thoughts and prayers are with everyone who has been impacted by the tornado that struck Mena, AR last night. The devastation left from this storm will takes months to clean up. Everyone else who has been impacted by the line of storms that passed through the area last night is also in my prayers. It has been a long time since I saw a storm this

My Horoscope for the Day

2009-04-09T20:28:00.002-05:00

"Dazzle everyone with your compassion, creativity and desire to do something unique. You will impress the people who can influence your life and in turn get the introductions you need to reach your goals."This is my horoscope that my best friend Lindsay sent me today. It seemed appropriate in light of everything going on.

Making my day a little brighter

2009-04-09T03:05:00.000-05:00

Ok so this has nothing to do with me but I rewatched this episode tonight and I wanted to share a scene that brought a smile to my face. I just wish that I could dance like this. It's the little things in life that make your day a little brighter.

Decisions to be made.

2009-04-08T21:00:00.000-05:00

Tough choices ahead. Life changing decisions to be made. And for once in my life I'm completely at easy and calm about all of it.Whichever way I choose. Whichever decision I make, it's all going to be OK.I'm moving forward in my life, and no matter which direction I choose to go I'm heading towards my dream. If I could I would follow both paths but right now I don't see that as an option. I must

Happy

2009-04-07T00:57:00.000-05:00

Oh to live your dream. To have the life that you want. But would that be enough. At what point are you going to be happy?There are so many things that I want out of my life. I want to move, I want my dream job, I want love, I want my family, etc. But if I get all of these things is that going to be enough. Why isn't enough right now?I have a good life, actually a great life. I have a job that I

Doubt

2009-04-06T01:10:00.000-05:00

Doubt - 1. fear, 2. to be in doubt about, 3a. to lack confidence in, b. to consider unlikely.We all have doubts. It's a natural part of life. But it's how we deal with doubt that sets us apart.Seeds of doubt have always plagued my mind. I'm not smart enough, not pretty enough, not talented enough, just plain not good enough. Sometimes these feelings overwhelm me (mostly when I haven't slept) and

New Video

2009-04-05T19:45:00.000-05:00

When I listen to songs I see images in my head describing the words. I heard this song in my car the other day and the entire opening section popped through my head just like it is on here.Let me know what you think. Still learning about this editing thing.

Sleepless Night #211

2009-04-04T06:13:00.002-05:00

I officially have the worst sleeping pattern going on right now. Up all night, sleep all morning wake up at like noon and start the day. I need to break myself of this but I can't seem to. Hence why despite a long day and a very bad shoulder I am still up at 6:15 am. My shingles have flared up bad enough that my arm is in and out of a sling. Hence the picture from yesterday. Hopefully it will go

3 Cups of Tea + 2 Screenplays + 1 AM = Random Photos

2009-04-03T02:29:00.003-05:00

Ok so the typing on this one is going to be short and sweet because my arm is in a sling due to severe shoulder pain. But here are the effects of writing, 3 cups of tea, and a need to have an edited script ready by next week and a new story idea hitting you.Hurt MeBefore WritingAfter Writing

Ranting Time (Watch out for my Soap Box)

2009-04-02T13:45:00.000-05:00

So in my usual browsing of the internet I headed over to IMDb. I checked how OTH was doing in popularity (Up 9% from last week :0) ) but anyway I stupidly scrolled down and looked at the message boards. Why must I torture myself? But the better question is why do people feel the need to say some of the things they do?Don't they understand that they are talking about real people, with real

Lyrics of the Day

2009-04-02T03:56:00.004-05:00

Today I was driving around looking for inspiration in a town I know all to well. As I was daydreaming of moving to Wilmington and all the new adventures I will have there I was listening to Gavin DeGraw's new CD. One song in particular stuck out to me. "Free" Here are the lyrics. "I'm a poor, I'm a rich I'm a mountain, I'm a ditch I'm a dagger in the shield I'm impatient, I'm a yield And I wanna

No Fear.

2009-04-02T01:50:00.003-05:00

You have to go after what you want. You have to be willing to fight, scratch and claw your way to your dream. Nobody is just going to hand you your dream. So you can't be afraid to go after any opportunities. What does it hurt to ask? All that can happen is someone can say no. This is all good advice until you have to follow it.I want something.

2009-04-01T23:59:00.000-05:00

Fortune Cookies. I love them. I collect the fortunes. I am a believer in them. That is why I found it appropriate that on Sunday when I went to lunch with my family and I got the following fortune I knew that it was destined to find me."Watch for a stranger to soon become a friend."With all the people I have met through SGP and the chat this is true on a daily basis.

Post #100!

2009-04-01T05:36:00.002-05:00

Post #100. Wow. I never thought I would have enough to say to fill up 50 posts. But here I am, 2 days shy of 3 months after starting this blog and I am writing my 100th post.A lot has changed during this time and it boggles my mind that we are now 4 months into 2009. I feel like New Years was just last week. But as they say, time flies. I am in school, with a job, and planning on moving by

OTH Opening Credits

2009-03-31T23:43:00.001-05:00

I don't know about you but I miss hearing Gavin DeGraw's "I Don't Want To Be" at the beginning of OTH. In honor of this I have complied a video of the opening credits from each of the seasons (excluding the current one because there isn't one). Enjoy the walk down memory lane.Ok so the original posting that I did had a slight error in it. This is the real one. APRIL FOOLS!

Small Soap Box

2009-03-31T20:42:00.003-05:00

Ok so something sparked inside of me while talking in the chat tonight. Welcome to my small soap box rant.Does life always have to be neat and tidy and follow a set of rules or guidelines?I don't think so. I think that life is messy, unorganized, chaotic, random, and never follows the rules. If it did we would all be living in 2 story houses with white picket fences and have 2.5 children. So why

Why Entertainment?

2009-03-30T20:57:00.000-05:00

Of all the careers I could have choose I picked one in one of the toughest industries to break into. But why did I choose this. I don't want the glitz and glamor of the celebrity of it. I don't want to be known world wide. I don't have to rich or overly successful either. So why this area, why this career?I have always loved movies, music, TV, entertainment in general. I always made up stories in

Once When I Was Little

2009-03-30T05:36:00.000-05:00

Here is my embarrassing childhood videos. I am looking into ways of converting more of these because this was actually a pretty fun project. Now please remember that I was 11, it was the 90's and there is no accounting for my fashion (or anyone else's for that matter). Enjoy.

Childhood Memories

2009-03-29T20:10:00.000-05:00

It's time to lighten things up a little bit. So many of my posts lately have been on the serious side that I want to share something funny with everyone.Now everyone has embarrassing pictures and videos from when they were little. We all dread when they get brought out around our friends or boyfriends/girlfriends. Well I have recently discovered videos of myself like that.When I was 11 years old

"There comes a time when every life goes off course. In this desperate moment you must choose your direction. Will you fight to stay on the path while others tell you who you are? Or will you label yourself? Will you be honored by your choice? Or will you embrace your new path? Each morning you choose to move forward or to simply give up." - Lucas I choose to get up and move forward. My life has

Video Killed the Radio Star

2009-03-28T20:10:00.000-05:00

You know how they say that video killed the radio star well I believe that TV and movies have killed my sense of romance.Nothing in real life works out like it does on anything that we watch. It is never based on reality. I am a aspiring screenwriter and even I know that it is rare that a movie with a true to life ending or real life situations is hard to make or sell. People don't want to see

Quotes of the Day

2009-03-28T02:00:00.001-05:00

"Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplacable spark. In the hopeless swamps of the not quite, the not yet, and the not at all, do not let the hero in your soul perish and leave only frustration for the life you deserved, but never have been able to reach. The world you desire can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours." Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged"Men have been taught that

Writer, yes or no?

2009-03-27T02:15:00.000-05:00

When I sit down to write a blog I never know what will come out. I normally have an idea in my head but I just let my fingers find what they will on the keyboard. It's very therapeutic but also a little scary because I'm never sure what secret feelings will come out.I never thought of myself as a writer. Growing up I was the worse speller on the face of the planet. Technically I still am I just

The Roller Coaster of Life.

2009-03-25T23:32:00.001-05:00

How is it that in a day you can go through so many different emotions?Maybe it's just me and my roller coaster of mood swings but I can swing from happy, to sad, to mad all in a couple hours.I actually slept last night, for more than 4 hours. That is the first time in about a month that I have done that. It felt really nice. I needed to catch up on my sleep. I went to lunch with my mom and some

Giving Back

2009-03-25T16:22:00.002-05:00

I've decided I have to much free time. I do nothing during the day until around 3:45 when I finally go to work. So to help fill up my time I signed up with Big Brothers, Big Sisters today. It would be awesome to be able to give back to the area that means so much to me. I am looking for suggestions of other places to volunteer at. Let me know what you think.

Amazing Job!

2009-03-24T22:20:00.004-05:00

So you know that someone is good at what they are doing when you forget that it is them doing it. That might not make any sense but I'll explain what I mean. When you watch a movie and forget about the actress or actor playing the part and believe that they are that person in that time period and in that place. That is when they are a good at acting. The same goes for when an actor or actress

If I Knew Then What I Know Now

2009-03-24T19:48:00.002-05:00

So we have been talking about milestones a lot lately in the SGP chat. The blog has only been around 3 months and yet so many milestones have occurred (with so many others to come). It got me thinking about how far I've come since then as well. I reread my first blog and wanted to reprint it on here just so all can see how far I have come."I've decided to start a blog to log everything that I

Quick Update from Work

2009-03-23T21:28:00.000-05:00

I'm so excited. Today is my Friday. 2 days off will be so nice. I love my job but I want to explore more and take pictures further around the area and I can't when I have to be at work at 3:45. I did really well on audio on Saturday. I'm adapting quickly around here which is a good thing seeing that my job will be along this line. I'm hoping that all of the knowledge that I am gaining now will

Thank You!

2009-03-22T01:34:00.004-05:00

As tears are forming in my eyes from the amazing words that I have received tonight I just wanted to say thank to everyone who commented, who has read my blog, who has had the random conversations with me, who have pushed me, who have been there and most of all who have taken a little time out of their life to help me.I don't want the impression to be that I am doubting the path that I am on. I

Am I a Fraud?

2009-03-21T23:58:00.000-05:00

I talk a lot about following your heart and your dreams but I wonder deep down if I'm a fraud for saying this. I know that I have on more than one occasion stopped myself from doing something because I was scared. I have not gone for what I wanted because what do you do when it doesn't work out.I like to think that the old me is the one who caused that to happen. I like to think that I wouldn't

What defines a person?

2009-03-21T14:11:00.002-05:00

What defines a person?Is it what they do? Is it what they wear? Is it where they grew up or the people they hang out with?Can a job, money, clothes, stuff make a difference?Once you are seen in one way can you ever change that?I am trying to break the mold I have established for myself. Rewriting my future so to speak. But I wonder if those who knew me before the change will ever see me as the

Big News = more good news about backing for my screenplay. Now I hope all of these backers will just keep holding on through my revisions process.Big Day (tomorrow) = tomorrow is my first day alone on audio during a news broadcast. SCARY! I have had a little practice but it will be interesting to see how this goes. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel but it's still a long ways away.Side

78 posts + 2 months = New Person

2009-03-20T00:49:00.003-05:00

I started this blog as part of my new years resolution. I started it thinking no one would ever read it. I started it thinking I'll post this first time and then I'll never have to post again. I started it not thinking it would ever go anywhere.78 posts later there is a whole new person sitting at this keyboard. I used to be closed off, afraid to let anyone in. When you let people in you leave

First Time

2009-03-20T00:25:00.004-05:00

So apparently after talking to Amber tonight it is "odd" that I had never tried coffee until today. I grew up in a family that didn't drink coffee. I never tried it when I was little because I thought it would be gross. I never tried it growing up because I never really had the desire to. Today I was driving into work and decided that it was time for me to try something new. So I got a tall

Quote of the Day

2009-03-19T20:36:00.003-05:00

"I've come to the conclusion that if having things turn out the way you wanted them to is a measure of a successful life, then some would say I'm a failure. The important thing is not to be bitter over life's disappointments. Learn to let go of the past. And recognize that every day won't be sunny, and when you find yourself lost in the darkness and despair, remember it's only in the black of

Top Ten #2

I suck. I said that I would post my top ten Bethany Joy scenes yesterday and I didn't. Blame it on a sunny day and a lack of focus. So here is my attempt at another top ten.

Inspiration

2009-03-17T22:00:00.000-05:00

Inspiration. One small word with so much behind it. I looked it up in the dictionary and it has several different definitions. 1. an inspiring or animating action or influence.2. something inspired, such as an idea.3. a result of inspired activity.4. a thing or person that inspires.5. Theology a) a divine influence directly and immediately exerted upon the mind or soul. b) the divine quality of

The amazing OTH that I was greeted at the door with and the awesome performances around the board distracted me from some really good news that I wanted to share. I have officially started training on the audio board. I will be running audio on Saturdays now. This is "promotion" and I can't believe how quickly I have moved up at the studio. It's a real honor. I will now only be in the studio 2

After an intriguing conversation about tonight's new One Tree Hill I was inspired to think about the performance that all of the actors had tonight. The one that stood out the most to me were Hilarie and Chad and it made me think that this is one of her best. After Amber and I debated the top 5 I decided to share my top ten performances of Hilarie on OTH.10. Season 3, Episode 21 "Over the Hills

Sun roof open, windows rolled down, music blaring.That's how I drove around today. No destination in mind, no specific place to go, just driving.It was the best thing I could have done. Sunny, warm, clear. The perfect day.I went out to the White River and remembered why I love the peace and serenity of lakes and rivers. It's so quiet, calm, and relaxing. I just walked and stared at the water and

When It Rains It Pours

2009-03-16T01:52:00.002-05:00

It seems like every time I blog it sparks more thoughts in my head causing me to want to blog again and again and again.I think that everyone needs a reality check sometimes. I thought that once I decided on my dream everything would just magically fall into place and my life would move like I wanted it to. Life doesn't work that way. It moves and changes in its own time. I need patience. I have
