I have been putting off writing this "About Me" blurb for a while now. Why you say? I'll tell you why- there's 2 reasons. Reason 1: I wrote a witty and concise statement (if I can say so) back in my fledgling myspace days and then, in a flash of sheer bad luck, the computer froze and all was lost. Reason 2: I have a tendency to treat everything in life as if it were a college term paper, meaning I do things at the last minute. In even simpler terms, I procrastinate...a lot. But I've broken through that (at least temporarily...baby steps for now) so here I sit typing run-on sentences about myself to a bunch of close friends (who pretty much already get the gist of me anyway) and a few random strangers who could potentially be new friends.So I uprooted myself after 27 years in Charlottesville, Virginia and haved moved on to- what I hope will be- greener pastures in Nashville, Tennessee. My parents moved to Nash Vegas 5 years ago, my brother lives here as well and so does one of my best friends from Cville so the transition wasn't a completely scary process. I miss my friends back in VA terribly but I think the feeling of missing my friends is not as bad as the feeling I had when I foresaw how miserable I would be at age 35, hell even 30 if I were still doing the same...old...thing in the same...old...town where I was born, raised and matriculated. Don't get me wrong- I love good ol' Cville and everything it's about (OK definitely not everything) but I think I'm a more positive person for moving on and, let me tell ya, figuring that out is a long and arduous process. I hate to use such a cliche but I'm definitely a "work in progress." I'm just trying to work through some of my kinks and hopefully come out all shiny (not in the oily skin way) and new with a brighter outlook on life, love and the pursuit of an amazing career.Random parting thoughts: I love using parenthesees when I write/type (see- I did it again), I don't understand why people can't figure out the difference between "your" and "you're" and "to" and "too", I love to laugh- I think I even do it in my sleep sometimes, I'm obsessed with the Olympics and the Academy Awards, I'm a wellspring of meaningless trivia information, I love soundtrack score music, I often love movie previews more than the movies themselves, I think someone needs to put Isaac Mizrahi and Rachel Ray from the Food network in a barrel and roll them off the Niagara Falls or something, I sometimes feel like I'm the male version of Bridget Jones (except I'm not fat...not that there's anything wrong with that).
