Finale.

I just finished the season finale of The Walking Dead. A big theme of the episode was the decision between pressing on and potentially suffering greatly, or dying quickly without pain. Its such a hard decision to make, and I am writing this blog in hopes that I might find my answer.

It would be easy to play the hero card and say that I would press on, but that would be a lie. In a situation just like that I know I would have the desire to just give up... Just like I've done with a bunch of situations in my past.

My new years resolution will be coming a bit early. I am declaring that I will no longer back out of situations that are "Hard" and keep pressing on until the end. I dont know why, but I am sure that it will pay off eventually.

This means whatever I need to do to survive, I will do. I will follow through if i ever have to cut off my own arm, (127 hours) find the people who captured my loved ones, (Die Hard) or dance even though my family and friends feel its a waste of my time (Step-Up)

So in the end, I will be pursuing my final goal with whatever I can. It will be hard to get far, but I expect my life to pay out in the end. I know I will do something great.

The reason why I've started this blog, is the same reason why I started to record myself talking. I have something I need to work on to hone my skills as an artist.

Writing is something that I struggle in. A lot of my professional work is planned maybe hours before I actually go in to film, and it shows. I want to keep learning as an artist, and hopefully I will grow. After only a few months on YouTube... over 100 people felt the desire to watch my videos, and I am completely grateful for that, but I stopped doing videos for the reason I started doing them for. To learn something new, and to grow within my craft.

I will still be posting videos here and there, but I am not wanting to post anything that I dont feel deserves to be on youtube. There are too many people out there wanting to post videos about their boring lives, and I want to be more than that.

I guess this blog will be a mixture of movie reviews, tutorials, and snippets of scripts that I am working on.... Among other things of course.

Thank you internet for giving me the chance to be able to express my thoughts through the written word. And thank you creativity for giving me a chance in this hard to succeed field.
