Blah, blah, blah

I have been such a bad blogger of late. It is because as I started to see the light and start planning for my future, I get awful projects thrown onto my desk. I have been swamped with things that are just going to take so much extra time. Some of these used to be things that I liked to do and I would think if I wasn’t under pressure to do, I would like. I would like it even better if I got to make the CREATIVE decisions.


Instead, I am going to be stuck doing a pop-up video to True Colors. Ok, I don’t know if any of you have been to Disney World and Epcot Center during the 80’s. That’s when Michael Jackson was still partially black and mostly liked. His 3-D movie Captain Eeho (or something like) was the rage and would have horribly long lines. But when you got into the preshow, they had this wonderful picture show to True Colors (and I believe it was the Phil Collins version and not the Cyndi Lauper version). It was a stunning piece of artwork and I liked *THAT* more than I liked the 3-D movie. So, even though this sounds good and creative, in the back of my head, I’m thinking that anyone who has ever seen THAT preshow, this is going to suck. And it is stuck in my head. I know how great it was. I remember how stunning the pictures were. I remember the cute little pictures of kittens. I remember the giant balloons soaring in the air. I remember the rainbows and lightening pictures that were featured. There is absolutely NO WAY that mine is going to even be 10% of what that preshow was. It depresses me. It makes me sad. It makes me not want to do it, but I don’t have a choice. The boss has spoken – this is the way it is going to be.

 

So, I plan to get back to my blog. I’ll get rid of the poll that is causing all the popup ads (and since I had to put on a song today for the hold music that wasn’t even in the running, I may not have as much control of the hold music as I thought I did). I’ll do the 8 things you don’t know about me soon. I swear!

 

And then you will get to hear all about the horrible process of making a video that I don’t want to make.
