Survival Mode is Kicking In

Living in the city can be challenging. At some point, your instincts kick in and it turns into a game of survival. Have you ever survived on $20 for two weeks? Have you ever eaten a ketchup sandwich? Have you ever wanted to throw your shoes at the local hobo to give your blisters a break? I am having one of those weeks.

To be fair, I've had a busy year. Important events in 2009-2010:

-Moved my life to California to receive the cultural shock of a lifetime

-Wound up living in a frat house with 7 other people

-Had a car crash that left me homeless and couch surfing for two weeks

-Had to be carried out of a bar in West Hollywood

-Moved out of the frat house

-Survived a six-alarm fire

-Had a substantial and short-lived fling

-Designed my first CalArts show

-Randomly hooked up with a masseuse

-Attended a college reunion and visited Waco for the last time

-Dealt with Mom's accident (random temporary amnesia)

-Completed first assistantship with my mentor

-Almost decided to drop out of grad school

-Completed first year of grad school

-Moved my life to New York

-Designed my first Off-Broadway show

-Suffering the not-getting-paid-any-time-soon thing

-Got my identity stolen by a Frenchman

-Offered first commercial work by a potentially shady character

-Maxed out the credit card and starved a little

soon...

-Fly to Texas to move youngest sister into college

-Fly to LA to start the cycle all over

And now you are caught up with my life! Hooray to me for posting. I'll put something up of value one day.
