Working Hard, So Hard

Let's face the facts: I've been working for two months, now. I'm no longer a little boy, an infant of this world, a 'vaccum cleaner' if you will (will you?). Now, instead of taking in and never giving anything back (except a dirty bag of dirt every year or so), I am producing. I guess the transition isn't quite so complete... I still rely on other people to live... especially on Firth Lutheran for my housing. (quick shout out for those lovely people, who, frankly, allow me to be ALIVE in LA) Holla, First.
It's amazing that I have a job and can say that I've been working hard. I enjoy knowing that I will never know how it all worked out to this point. What a great mystery! I come to Los Angeles with no money, student debt looming, and not much experience. I took a step, and, AMEN, my steps have somehow been made firm by God. Ah, that makes me feel so close to God... that close interwoven interaction of the most real kind. How delightful!

So, I have some items to report, not out of obligation, but out of talkativness.
1. I'm attempting to create a new position for myself at my office. I want to be the 'vault coordinator'. That job includes organizing and catalouging all the media Flyer currently has sitting in an oversized closet (media meaning all the tapes and DVDs from current and past projects). There are probably over a 1000 tapes in this closet... and they are loosley organized by project... but organized in giant tubs with other projects. I feel it's a little ambitious b/c I have to do some research and write up a proposal about how I want to organize it, any expenses, and why the company should support me in this endevour. It's fun, and I'm excited about the chance to move up the food chain ever so slightly.

2. I'm really excited to be going home for Christmas. Don't get me wrong, I love LA. But I really miss my friends and family... like today I talked with my buddies back in KS. They were all hanging out playing video games and having a good time. Man, I wanted to be there so bad. I wanted to talk about sports and college and friends getting married. Also, I want to be home with my family where hugs are in order and I can be around people I truly admire and love.

3. Josh Salzberg and I are in the beginning phases of a new script... a feature this time. I'm diggin it. We're all but finished, on our end of things, on Birth Control. Just need to get color correction and a sound mix. It's exciting. I'd love to shoot the story idea by you when we get it a little more hammered out. I think it's a gonna be a good'n.

That's that. I'll tell you more about Mosaic a little later. That's my new church -- well, not officially yet, but I'm liking it a bunch so far. Check out mosaic.org. You'll not be disappointed.

I wish all of you the best. If you need anything, please, please, please, please call me and let me know. You've got to start asking to start receiving.

-Peace Out!
