…Like a Sieve
I lead a double life. Well…maybe a triple or quadruple life. Or you might just say that I wear a lot of different “hats”.
Dad, Husband, Associate Registrar, Worship Pastor, Freelance Arranger, Composer, Grad Student…and unfortunately, the list goes on…Not that I’m complaining, mind you! I enjoy my plate being full and the challenges that life brings. It’s just that right now, I’m learning so much new stuff that I feel like my brain might be on overload…AND, I think that I’m losing old stuff in order to learn the new, like an airplane that has to toss it’s luggage overboard to be able to get off the ground (no sympathy required, thanks). It’s actually really fun, I just feel like a ditz sometimes because I can’t remember some stuff. Weird.
I also operate on this “checklist” kind of mentality. I get a million emails a day (yes, that’s one MILLION emails) and they don’t get out of my inbox until I’ve completed the action required of me by said email, or given a proper response. But once I HAVE done that, I quickly get it out of my inbox and into a saved folder–highly organized, of course–for future reference. Out of sight, out of mind. And I mean REALLY out of mind.
In other news, I actually am going to take a small break tonight (while I can) and go see Semi-Pro, the new Will Ferrell flick. It’s bound to be awful.
Awfully funny, that is…Disney guy called again (YES!) and he’s sending more work tomorrow. I’m so stoked.
We also went to the Catalina Jazz Bar and Grill last night to see a good friend perform with a full big band. It was really awesome. The place was super classy and the music was fantastic. Big band is always fun!

Christmas Comes to I.B. 2007
Your life is highly diversified. You are going to become one of the most diverse and well rounded people around and this will give you the not so common gift of multiple perspectives. I’m quite impressed by you. Out of almost everyone I know I’m most eager to see where you go in life.
