Oh yes. A simple note.
And I know, I'm pimping myself out. But since no one else will do me the honors, I have no choice.

Past Half Way

Summer is passing fast.
Funny how as you get older time seems to fly by so much quicker than it did as a child. I remember my summer breaks seemed to go on forever- endless summer adventures.

I’ve been thinking about my past quite a lot lately. In fact I decided I’m going to start a blog dedicated to my random memories. It’ll be filled with all the crazy things that have happened to me over my life- both the bizarre and the dark. They’ll be posted as I remember them, in no particular order.

Read them here:

As for my day-to-day life here in the present:
I’m looking forward to my future.
July is half-way through and it’s been quite a busy month, only to get even busier!
I dedicated July to performances and photo shoots, and boy have I had performances!!!

I’m taking August off performance wise. It’s my birthday month and I think I deserve some R&R… I will be working on performance related things though as I am dedicating it as a “get costumes and props done” month. And also I’ll be using my time to get all the details together for my huge project that is coming up in November (stay tuned!) I’ll probably do a few photo shoots still, as well as a 10-day out of state work trip (for my day job).

I’m actually looking forward to September when things slow down (just a bit) I’m planning on only performing once or twice a month until the end of the year, recycling old acts so to save on $$$, I’ll also be slowing down on photo shoots until after November.

I’m already thinking ahead to my New Years plans and resolutions- number one on my list is to either hire an assistant or get an agent!

Ooof. My life.

Matters of the heart

Well, plans don't always go the way you hoped they would.

I'm a dreamer, and I always dream big. And once I dream it, I have a hard time being patient enough to wait for it. But life forces you to wait.

I'm sad to say that I've never fallen in love, even though I want to more than anything.

I thought I was a very patient person, but growing up in the "instant gratification" generation has worn it's toll on me. What happened to the days of long courtships, letter writing, soul mates, tortured yearning for another human being?

Am I the only true romantic left these days? Completely hopeless.

Today things seem so much more complicated. Dating is the worst of all. I really hate to date. I just don't get it. I keep waiting for my dating "Ahh Haa!" moment, but it just isn't there.

I don't understand why I can't just like someone, fall in love and live happily ever after. Is that SO much to ask? How does something so simple, turn so complicated?

Why are there all of these levels to dating: fast, slow, casual, exclusive, serious, official, 'just hanging out' (what DOES that mean by the way?) Why can't two people just like each other and let things go naturally? Stop putting all these labels on things or try to control the speed, just let it happen. Is that even possible anymore?

Maybe I'm turning bitter.
My rose colored glasses are getting smokey.
I don't always believe there is a pot of gold on the other side of the rainbow.
And sometimes I really doubt that it is possible to really fall in love.

But, being the dreamer that I am, I will continue to dream of love. And I still believe in dreams.

So I will wait...

And wait...

And wait some more.
