Waka waka waka

I spent four days camping at Wakarusa music festival and listening to good music and I now know I want to create mad mad sweet music. The band is in development but I'm really excited about the whole concept of playing at a festival. Looking forward to getting onstage there next year. It's a goal, a thing to help me focus.
I like things that give me focus. I feel my talents can sometimes be one big creative blur and nothing really sticks out as being the thing, the magical be-all gift I can share with the world so I continue to explore them all and see what happens. I know I'm at the least very entertaining. Tomorrow night I get to perform at a variety show so I will get to talk and sing and hopefully I am not mistaken on my previous comment that I entertain. If all else fails, I got some dead baby jokes that are SURE to win over the crowd.
I decided to pull my improv troupe SuperOVUM out of hiding and start us playing out again. I feel really good about it. In fact, since I made the decision to start at it again I've felt better than I have in months. MONTHS. True, I had lost the will to lead for a while. My grandma died and I couldn't seem to motivate anyone. I didn't have motivation. Having been away from it and try to work on other projects I discovered that I like my vision and so do others. To be truthful, I was really encouraged by others to take up the directing reins again. I hemmed and hawed about it. Some beautiful souls kept reinerating to me how much they loved and grew under my direction. It finally sank in.
I'm also going to take a film class in the fall with another OVUM and so we can start creating on another powerful medium. I'm rubbing my hands together with glee.
