Life Moves Pretty Fast…
Once you have a child life kicks into overdrive. It isn’t just that she can now crawl faster than the cats can run, or that she can speed alongside the couch and jab me in the gut before I even know what hit me. It is the the fact that I turned around, and a year has gone. She is now 13 months old. The other night my wife told me something that I know will hold true: just think how quickly 18 of those will roll by, and we will have an adult on our hands. Whoa. This week, it’s tiny steps that will inevitably lead to walking, running, and independence. Seasons of life are rife with change, the small and the big.
I’ve been keeping extremely busy these last few months. With the economy the way it is we are all having to get entrepreneurial, and I’m taking on freelance work when I can get it, and formulating a couple of business ideas. Anybody got some spare capital? I may try to sell a story or two for cheap via the Kindle or here in PDF form. Would you buy it? Let me know. I just completed some freelance television advertising for a little independent comedy that was home-baked and brewed here in Austin, Sno Cone, Inc. Check out their website, my 30 second spot is the lead video on the homepage, and the trailer I cut for them should be up soon.
I’ve had to put the documentary on hold to try and make some extra cash here and there, and I miss it. Meanwhile I have written a few more poems and hope to have them up here sooner or later. Work on the novel has stopped as I have done a little living and mostly because I don’t want to look back on this time in my life and realize I was stuck in front of a computer screen and missing out on the intricacies of raising a little, beautiful girl.
Check back, I’ll be around here some. If you need bite sized updates, check my about page and friend me on Facebook. I tend to update that daily with random thoughts and fun links.
…if you don’t stop and look around, you could miss it.
