Fab February!!!
I have not written or published anything in a couple of weeks so I thought I would play a little catch up tonight. I haven’t posted mainly because I seem to have something going on all the time. I vowed I was going to write a poem a week when the New Year began but I am suffering a small bout of writers block at the moment. Everything is going great in my life right now and I am suffering no personal crisis and fortunately or unfortunately, my best work seems to come from these. I make notes of lyrics, lines and ideas in my journal that come into my mind to revisit later and this has paid off a couple of times. But for now, I just “write to write”. Let’s see…. where do I begin? Hmmmm…how about my “Fabulous February”. So far this month I have:
* Attended a poetry reading in downtown St. Pete.
* Went on a photo shoot for head shots with a friend of mine.
* Attended a going away party for some dear friends moving out of state.
* Performed in the church annual Starlight production. The most fun I have had in one of those yet!! I was covered in sweat every night after the antics and pathetic attempt at dance, but it was hilarious! (Oh how I do miss theatre!)
* Saw a production of a cute comedy at Catherine Hickman Theatre in Gulfport. Never been there before and it is a charming and modern little venue. Would love to perform there someday.
* I was introduced to a new lady friend through a mutual theatre couple who are trying to play matchmaker.
* Finally got the opportunity to go on a night out at MacDintons, an Irish Pub on South Howard in Tampa. (or SoHo as the locals call it.) I wasn’t going to go initially because it is such a long drive for me to come home after a couple of cocktails but my date told me a really good band was playing. Coincidentally, it was my friends “The Crime Band” so I end up going and turning it into a photo shoot for their website. (And had one too many cocktails as I feared.)
* My job, while busy and hectic, is going extremely well right now. I can actually see the light at the end of the tunnel. The travel is still a major pain. I have a trip a month to Chicago, Anaheim or New York for the next 6 to 8 months. I would love to take some time off and travel for the fun of it and not for work.
* I just finished an absolutely wonderful motivational book that an acquaintance gave to me when I was feeling down. It was exactly what I needed, exactly when I needed it! And while this may seem somewhat sacrilegious, it is my new Bible when it comes to playing this game called life!
* I saw “Movin’ Out” at the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center and loved it!
* Got my taxes finished, found an extra unexpected deduction and received a nice tax refund this year.
* And finally, I have tickets to go see all my friends in “Beauty and the Beast” this weekend at O’clock Theatre in Largo. Really looking forward to it.
I’m sure I am forgetting something as it has been “Go, Go, Go” all month. But all in all, life is beautiful, wondrous and blessed. I will write more on the above topics individually in the near future. I also have a busy March ahead of me both professionally, socially and culturally. Many local events I want to see, attend and visit. Oh yes, I have a birthday and I will be turning “41”!! (Dammit!) I just wanted to apprise every one of where I have been and what I’ve been up to. I’ll try and publish again soon.
