Well. We are winding down camp. If you were wondering where I was for the last couple of months that would be the answer. This past week I was in Daytona. I don’t get a lot of tasks so my goal of this visit was to show one of of our producers the event. The great Erin Moon also known as Madam Fatima. I was also there to be of help where needed oh and I figured I would take some photos and video. Really needed my staff there to do it right but as always we had other stuff that we were doing in the home office. Anyway I was at camp or as some like to say Daytona. This event is a little different. I don think just because of size. Everyone seems to come for different reasons just like any camp but when you have more of them well you have more people for more reason. A group at the front stage left side caught my attention. I think mostly because they were turned around with their back to stage while Louie was talking. I kept think I wish they would get it. I pray they would get it. As soon as the music started they rose to their feat…some started to hold hands with each other in the air while others hugged and swayed slowly. Go figure. I pray they get it. I hope they get it. Louie kept pleading with them to not waste their life. Lets hope. Sometimes I hate and love what we do. I wish I could go home with each of them to say do you understand what just happened….Here let me help you. I guess if there is any room that I want them in is ours. Chris and Louie do a great job in preparing for the stage. I don’t say this often but those guys are the real deal. Well this was Dayton Beach 2010
I don’t like going somewhere I just like early mornings. I can slide into my day. I hate rushing around and when you start early you have all the time you need. I dont have to go to be early but I find that I get bored at night really easy when I don’t have something to do. Today is flex friday. I am basically just sitting around waiting for my ipad to get in. I need to not be busy. I need time to think and write or at least become a better writer. It will happen.
Its hard to get into the rhythm of things. I am a creature of habit. Once I get out of a habit its pretty hard to get back into it. Writing is the habit I’ve been out of. I don’t tweet as much. I think I may have gotten bored of it. I tried fourquare but eh. I need a new thing. So that will be my search. I will be searching for a new thing. I need a new thing. If you have any ideas let me know. And now back to Lost.
Let me first say I’m not burned out. I actually got a good energy boost from some new people that have joined us at the office. That got me thinking about how do we stop it. I think I’ve written on this topic before. I really dont have any answers. I was hoping that some of you creatives out there may have some. What do you do when you don’t think you have anything left. I hope the people that work with me never get that way or I’m in trouble. I do like it that they don’t try to please me. They actually don’t know what I’ll like so that makes it real easy. Here is what I do.
Lost. Lost has rescued me from burn out many a times. I think part of it is that I never liked the show. I only got into it because of peer pressure. So I guess what I do some times to get out of my burn out is to watch other people. My title is creative director So many times I tell my self hey, I only direct creatives I don’t actually have to be creative. I dont really know if that’s true but that’s how it is. I also take pictures. I do that because no one pays me to do it. You know it’s all coming back to me. I have spoken about it before. So really what do you do?
Giving some time. So yesterday Jared and I went to Brother Bryan to help with a fish fry that my church was putting on. I have to admit I wasn’t looking forward to do it. I had just finished moving Hannah which gave me just enough time to eat lunch then head back. The thing that my church has done is made me uncomfortable. That has been great for my spiritual life. It was a great time. If you would like to know more about what Brother Bryan does just click the link. I said I would start May 1 and this is my answer to why that didn’t happen.
We will return to new music Fridays, office talk, creative and stuff I don’t know anything about. There are a ton of goings on and I’m trying now to put it all together. This is what Erin and I have been doing at work lately
