Two weeks ago, I realized that my life had surpassed soap opera stage, surpassed country western song, and went straight for made for tv movie. Congratulations! Next on WE, Andrea's life. Maybe if I'm lucky, I'll get picked up on Oxygen. I realized that if I don't do someting soon, I'm going to be a TV mini-series. Does it get any worse than that?
I could go into ALL the details of the predicament that I'm in and I'm sure, throughout the adventures of my writing, I will. But I won't today. I'll only say this.
About a year ago.. June of 2009 to be exact, my world seemed to fall apart. Of course things were crappy before that. Failed relationships, health issues, career indecision/complications, family problems, etc. It was all there.. BUT, in June 2009, I started on a spiral that got me to where I am now. Here we sit, because frankly who reads or writes a blog standing up, in August 2010 and things are waaay beyond where they were then.
So, this is an emergency. I need a self-intervention. Somebody has to do something. And since I'm the one that's supposed to be in control, I'm taking back control.
I'm giving myself a year. 1 year. 365 days. I figure that things really got out of control over the course of about a year, and so maybe I can get them back under some form of control (Marshal law?) within a year.
Over the next year, officially starting 9/11/10, I will be writing every day, exploring how I got to this point and trying like hell to make some progress.
I have no quantitative goal for this process, except to be in a better place/state than I am right now. I want to come back to this post 9/11/11 and re-read it and say.. "yup, things were fucked up.. but now things are so much better". That's it.
Here are the topics I'm going to explore over the next year - in no particular order.
Health
friendships
romance
sex
career/education
family
dreams
spirituality
and maybe a few more.
Each day that I write, I'll try to stick to one topic as best as I can - although I make no promises.
Join me, if you dare - it's going to be quite an adventure; maybe we'll all learn something along the way.
