The Wheel Moves On

Tonight marked my last night as a projectionist for the Starz FilmCenter. My decision to leave ultimately rested on my desire to start the next chapter of my life and, was probably brought on in some small way by my impending birthday. I realized that it was time that I (forgive the expression) shit or get off the pot and really put forth an effort to be an artist. The work I was doing while it was very exciting and in line with my ultimate goals, was in fact too close to my ultimate dream and was a distraction.

I realized that I am the type of person who will only move or challenge myself when I am not in a place of comfort; as long as I have enough money or my soul isn't totally aching, I can continue to do what I am doing and never push myself beyond.

I will miss my friends and the family that I have been a part of for years now and I hope that this isn't totally good-bye. I'll still be around but instead of hiding in the booth, I'll be in the back of the theatre, right side watching the films I used to run and some day soon, presenting my own.
