Wish me luck.

Today was a good day...

I figured I'd start with something positive because when I go back and read my previous posts all I can think is, "Good God I whine a lot."

I don't think I ever did the brief summary of what life has been like back in sleepy little Charleston, SC since the beginning of the year. So here goes: New Year's came and went. Next thing I knew it was Valentine's Day. Right on the heels of VDay, came Easter...then mom's birthday, Mother's Day, Father's Day, mom and dad's anniversary, 4th of July and now my dad's birthday is right around the corner. In the midst of all this, I moved off the Isle of Palms and into a place near Daniel Island. That was the beginning of May. When I moved, I decided to redo my room. The picture you see is Orion the Hunter. I guess that's somewhat symbolic and represents my spot in life at the moment, although it hasn't brought me much luck in the bedroom so far.

You haven't missed anything big. My life is a series of early morning alarm clock rings...followed by stumbling around in the dark, cursing when I stub my toe, fumbling with the coffee maker, getting in and out of the shower, attempting to apply makeup and/or fix hair, walking the dogs and hitting the road by 4:30 a.m. Everyone thinks they'd like to have my job but the reality is far less glamorous than the fantasy. But there I go starting to whine again...

I did flex my creative muscles recently and decided to make a Youtube video in response to all of the marines asking celebrities to attend the Marine Corps Ball with them this year. I made a video of my own and it has kind of taken on a life of its own.



This is why I love what I do. Because I get to play with expensive cameras, recording equipment and just be me. What's interesting about this video, is that I've actually gotten several invitations to the ball. A bunch in Jacksonville, NC...a couple in D.C. and even one in Okinawa, Japan.

This past weekend I went to Wilmington (only for the second time since October) and spent time with my family. My brother was in Nicaragua so my parents and I stayed at his house. It was over the course of this weekend I realized my mom and I have the EXACT same nose. Only took me 30 years to see it.

Anyways, I've decided to start a new blog. This one will still be here but the "new blog" will be devoted almost entirely to a very specific cause. Curious? Check it out for yourself:

Hopefully, those who read it will find it cute and funny...satirical but also somehow candid and honest. Wish me luck.
