Recovering From The Amazing

I am still trying to recover from such an amazing trip back home. It is really hard to come down from such a positive atmosphere of friends, family, good weather, Coachella, and freedom. Now it is back to the real world of job hunting, paying bills, and being so far away from those I care about. I am still a little depressed, but not as bad as the week after Coachella and when I first arrived back in Sydney.

Its strange how your everyday life seems different when your emotions are running high. When I walk down the streets now, I see things a little different. Its hard to explain. I've been listening to my Ipod a lot more now, so it is like I have my own personal soundtrack as I walk around. Music really does infuse emotions. Also, it's a bit cooler outside and the sun sets much earlier now. So the way things look has changed.

I went to the gym today for the first time in a month. It felt good to work out. But I have so much on my mind, its like Im in the zone the whole time. I've been thinking a lot about my future and all of it is really just up in the air. The unknown worries me. I wish some major thing could just happen and that would start pointing me in the right directing. Its all wishful thinking as my dad says. I often think up the unrealistic, but I can't help it, I'm too imaginative.

So there are no real updates in my life. I am unemployed and looking for something to give me a little more cash before I call it quits and come home for good.

Below is a pic of Mark and I the day before we left for Coachella. We made matching shirts for Friday. They had the Coachella mountains and palm trees around it. On the back it was our own personal Mastercard commercial. Mine read: Plane Ticket From Australia $1200, Coachella Tickets $309.25, 1/8 Special Herbs $40, Gas For The Car $30, Having The Time Of Your Life: Priceless.

I'm Back

Where did I go? Back home. Yes. It was a surprise. Since I was sitting here unemployed with nothing to do I figured it would be a good time for me to go home. It was a great visit. I got to see all of my family and most of my friends. I went to Coachella again, which was one of the best weekends of my life. Now I'm back in Sydney ready to start from square one again. Today is Anzac Day (AU/NZ holiday) so a lot of places are closed. But starting tomorrow I'm gonna be calling up any contacts I can to try to land some production work. I'll also be hounding the bars again to see if I can pick up a part time to get some money flow coming in.

A couple things have changed since I'v been gone. The weather has gotten cooler, since it is now heading towards mid-fall here in Sydney. So, there is no more beach weather, but still the sun shines. Also the clocks "fall-back" an hour, so I have to re-adjust the time differences between here and the states. Cali/West is now 17hrs behind me, NY/East is 14hrs.

A side note: I will now start updating my facebook status regularly (or at least semi-regularly) for the first time. It will be interesting/ fun information about me and my life. I'll probably also throw in some recommendations of music and movies if I have any.
