Hope everyone made it out of bed (or couch, or floor, or gutter) this morning in one piece.
2009 was a hell of a year for me, quite possibly the most positive in my life. I had the privilege of working on two amazing shows with our newly minted Theatricians Theater Group, joined a kick ass improv team, and found employment teaching people to ignore their sense of self preservation.
More importantly—and I won't bore you with the details here— 2009 was the year I began to see the value in constantly setting goals and testing my own limits in all aspects of my life.
Which brings me to the reason I'm returning to the bloggospheres. In an effort to challenge myself as a wordsmith —and, more importantly, massage my own ego—I've challenged my good friend Jessica Fleitman to a one-month blog marathon.
Myself and good friend Jessica Fleitman (right).
Jessica and I met in college and reached fame and fortune as a writer/director team in UCSB's New Plays Festival. Our buddy-cop antics were eventually adapted into a successful Hollywood film franchise. Jessica Fleitman now lives in New York, where people pay her to write clever plays
Ms. Fleitman has elucidated the details of the challenge on her blog, but essentially the idea is to write one blog entry day for the entire month of January. No rules about length, coherency, or content, just one entry on the blog every day. I've always found a little competition the best way to keep myself motivated, so I proposed the challenge to Fleitman and she foolishly agreed. She may be a "hip New York professional writer," but she can't hold a candle to my lightning fast reflexes and mad Photoshop skills.
Yeah, I'm in that kind of mood today.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have a hangover to curse at.
My head looks better on your body than yours does. Just another way in which I shall prove to be victorious!
