Coming Soon...

Not much has changed (unfortunately) since the last post.  But, as is the motto and title of this blog, I press on (and very much look forward to posting great news soon).

I had the idea some time ago to [re-] focus the blog on something specific, now that grad school and the immediate post grad school experience are behind me.  I'm not quite sure what this season should be called but it is neither of those.

In any event, I thought of focusing this blog on movies.  Not movies in the general sense, (or my journey to write and make them) but what movies people should see.  I have a pretty good sense of what kind of movies people will generally like. I have, on numerous occasions, recommended or dissuaded family and friends to see (or not see) any particular movie and have seldom been wrong in my assessments.  Not only that, I see so many movies (maybe on the cusp of too many) and figured I should be able to put what I've seen to good use! (Or at least some use.)

Unlike most movie reviews or critiques, this will be more of an "if you like ???, then you'll enjoy this movie" type of deal...and less of why a certain movie may or may not be "good". Think 'movie-match-maker' or 'the movie whisperer'!

This post is mostly for my own benefit, so that I can stop talking about it and do it.  Stay tuned...

Five Months, Two Days

It's hard to believe that it's been five months and two days since I officially left my last job.  More like I was unceremoniously booted out, but the details don't matter. It hurt for a while...longer than I would've liked.  It dinged my self esteem and made me question this path. Then I was energized to move on to the next chapter, even though whatever that was seemed murky at best.

I wrote. I applied for jobs. I went on countless interviews. I worked some random gigs. I continued even through uncertainties.

Perhaps I should have named this blog Instant Success, because here I am (yet again) pressing on. To be completely honest, what I want is to (finally) be on the other side of a struggle that has, so far, been attached to an ambivalent timeline.

But here are the things I'm certain of: 

Success is never instant.  

Pressing on is hard work that WILL pay off.  

Something big is on the horizon for ME. 

I can and will work even HARDER...because faith without works is dead.

I press on!
