Time For A Little Contemplation

As I lay in bed last night I started to realize just how different my life has become in the short time I have been here in China. Less than six months ago my life although busy seemed to be going nowhere. Sure I owned my our business, a theater company, but we just weren't progressing in the direction I wanted. My day job was a farce, most of the day was spent with my coworkers discussing it's potential impending doom and collapse, and finally and by no means least important, I was single and for the most part lonely.

Well fast forward 5 months and boy how things have changed.

First and most importantly, I'm now married to a beautiful Chinese woman named Wang Li Lujian (Amy) and have already been fully accepted as part of her family.

I'm working again on another theater show, A.R Gurney's "The Dinning Room" and responsible for the lighting. The show will be another production by the East West Theater Company based in Shanghai China.

The script (documentary about the paranormal) I am involved with has just got investment to make our 15 minute pilot/trailer so I'll be responsible for casting that.

And finally late on Saturday night I got an email from the casting agent in Shanghai I work with to tell me they want me to do a 3 day TV Commercial shoot next week for a Pizza Hut promo based on Pirates of the Caribbean, at world's end. I'm a huge fan of all the Pirate's movies, probably the child in me still, and I have fond memories of my friend Ed Watson back in Boise, the two of us created some even though I say it myself, great costumes after the first movie was released. Ed does an excellent impression of Capt Jack. Any we took ourselves and our costumes a Halloween costume party one night in Boise, and had a great time. Ed if you read this buddy, I miss you and guys. Ed and his wife Tricia run a business called Rare Images in Boise, Ed paints wonderful murals.

So I guess the point I am making here is that thing's can change so dramatically almost in an instant, so treasure what you have while you have it or if you don't have what you want, seek it, it's out there somewhere.
