Ramble #1

One day, I want to write a sitcom with some of my favorite people. Alas, it’ll probably never come to pass. I’m focusing on work right now, but even if there is a day when I take a less hectic job, I’ll likely never be able to produce it. Judging by how long it took to make a really short film, I don’t know how long it’d take to produce a season of something. Animation was another option since some people live in far away places. However, I can’t even draw, and that takes even longer than acting, so that’s probably out too. Very recently I have been pondering doing a radio show instead. I don’t even know how that’d work. TV is the medium with which I’m most familiar, and it’s the one I love the most.

Ramble #2

I’d like to spend more time philosophizing. Work has lately been mostly reactive. I need more time to just sit back and think. The mornings may be the best time for that. I was going to do it now but I just want to sleep.

Ramble #3

I’d like to simply spit out my thoughts and talk in circles instead of creating coherent essays. That’s what a blog is for, right?
