Man…Busy times, these. I have about a million things on my plate these days, but the good news is that most of it is highly rewarding and I couldn’t be happier to be so swamped.
The project alone has me wearing a lot of hats. When not writing, I’m finding myself working on press-related aspects, prepping posts for release on the site and emailing people to try to organize an event to be included in Mysterium this year (no promises yet. We’re working on it).
Outside of Passage, I’m working with Patrick to try to complete a wedding video I shot last year for some family friends and working with a photographer to develop a promotional video for his studio.
I’m also working as a Case Manager for a psychology practice in the area. If all goes as planned, I’ll be meeting my new charge sometime next week. I’m really looking forward to this. The client is a 9 year old that’s having a pretty hard time with things. My job is to spend some quality time with him and basically act as a mentor. I guess he’s in need of a strong male role-model in his life. This is of particular interest to me because I had a pretty rough childhood and the idea of playing a part in trying to prevent another child from suffering in that way fills me with a sense of purpose and hope. I hope I can help do the same for him.
Still not sure what’s going on the with the whole “termination from job” thing. I’ve been reinstated, but I’ve still not gotten the call to return to work. I’ve been following up on everything I can regarding this debacle. That’s taken a lot of energy lately.
So, that’s life for me at the moment. Lots to do.
I went over the footage from our interview with Patrick last night. I’m glad we shot it. As it turns out, we did far better than we had thought. It’s strange to look at the tape and remember (sort of) what my thought process was in the moment and then to see it from a third-party perspective and realize that I didn’t sound like a total moron after all. That’s a load off my mind. I think we’ve established a good base to work from when doing future press.
EDIT: Forgot a word.

Way to go man
So, you might be at Mysterium, eh? Would be nice to see you there. Apart from that, good luck with life at the moment.
Try to get on GMA sometime in the future, would be nice to wake up in the morning and listen to you guys talking about this project. Prolly cause of the fact that where I live, no one knows about Myst XD
