It's been undeniably dear to me, I don't know why
When every other part of life seemed locked behind shutters
I knew the worthless dregs we are,
The selfless, loving saints we are,
The melting, sliding dice we've always been.
-- The Shins
Actor, writer, improviser, performer of original monologues, sometimes a theatre instructor, sometimes a creative writing teacher, sometimes touring with issue-oriented shows and educational theatre, sometimes just plain horrifyingly unemployed (now would be one of those times) , sometimes freaking out about that, sometimes guiltily pleased that it gives me time to take walks, sit in cafes, notice details, people-watch, stage vegetable soap operas in the produce aisle, stay up late, and throw off my body clock and every last hope of a circadian rhythm. I ride the light rail between extroversion and introversion, I talk too much, I’m sure of so little, I plunge myself headfirst into vast public dorkiness, making catastrophic mistakes, laughable blunders and mortifyingly bad decisions several times a day and twice on Sundays. I have a deep love affair with words; I have less love for numbers, but we do stay in touch. I gulp art, I swill creativity, I hear a soundtrack in my head behind everything I do...every day is a secret mix tape.
What a beautiful, unfixable mess I'm in,
With little idea how to cross
This wide, wild water,
Or whose rough hands will pull me over.
