Sometimes life comes at me with tragedy piled on tragedy. Regardless of what choice I seem to make somekind of blood is spilled either literally or figuratively. I feel beated not until submission, no that would be to kind by life, but rather acceptance. I wait for the next turn of events with dread. I ask, "what's next?"

sometimes there's just an urge to take something incredibly personal and put it up for everyone to see.

I was honored to listen or read all the same.

Too much elliot smith, i reckon.

So finals are almost done. I got done with the hard stuff. My directing project went well. It is so hard to just not freak out the actors about the actors not doing everythng exact doing their performance.
