…and not just internet famous. I’m already there. I kid, I kid.

I don’t know what the deal is with me lately. Things seem to have been extremely mundane, mostly with work, which is where I spend most of my time. But, then, when I got the opportunity to parlay myself into other areas of my “profession”, I got the bug, the creativity, theatrical, inspired bug to do something. I’m still unsure of what this “something” will be, but I plan to start with a buffet of ideas and narrow them down to the best and most inspring. With the new road I’m traveling at work, I have been exposed to speaking to groups of people and inevitably large groups of people while traveling and such, and even though that sort of thing makes me nervous, I threw the nervousness out the window and just did it. In this new, out of the normal environment I found myself in, I started to get comfortable. This has led into my need and craving to be creative in a theatrical sense.

I’ve never really been one that liked being in front of the camera. I’d much rather be the photographer or filmer that uses my talent to make the talents of others tell the story I want to tell. Plus I’m a leader and can be quite the control freak. Honestly, I’m just not gifted enough to be in front of the camera. In the past, I’ve mentioned this many times before, that I’d like to write a book and that could be one stimulating route to go, but even a book is not satisfying enough for me right now to quench the thirst for creative theatrics that have been running through my veins lately. Call me selfish, but I’d much rather a reader see things the way I want them to see it, rather than imagine it their own way and mostly butchering the ideas I put so much work into.

Getting to the point. I’m going to fast forward from new work opportunities to the movie that threw my yearning into overdrive. Inglourius Basterds! (Somewhere, my husband is rolling his eyes right now because lately I’ve been drooling over Eli Roth like it’s an Olympic sport.)

Side note. I’ve known of Eli Roth for quite sometime now, always thought he was out of place attractive as a director, but never paid much attention to him until he played the role of Sgt. Donny Donowitz aka The Bear Jew in Inglourius Basterds. I watched the movie the first time vaguely knowing his role in the movie and that he was the director of Cabin Fever and the Hostel movies, but never dreamed that he would be multi-faceted as a surprisingly great actor. Infatuation grew to curiosity which grew to obsession. I began reading about him, researching some of his theories and techniques as a director and was extremely impressed, to say the least. He began with nothing to show for his talent and worked his way to the top, learning everything he could on the way to make him the great actor and director he is today. Not to mention, we have a lot in common and I thoroughly enjoy the fact that he is so easy to contact personally by average fans. Oh, and his oh-so-clever sick and twisted mind and the introduction to a new semi-genre of “horror porn”.

Back on topic. Eli Roth was exactly what I needed to crack the rut I was in and push me in the right direction. Writing something more than a book, a script, screenplay perhaps? I don’t know. I am a published writer, most people don’t know that, there’s a fun fact for ya (I obviously don’t showcase my “awesome” writing ability on my blog), but it’s nothing I feel accomplished about. I’m almost twenty-five years old and I’ve accomplished a lot in life — things that your average person would accomplish, but maybe not until they’re 30, but I have so many more plans for myself. I plan to accomplish much more and get the satisfaction I crave.

The meaning of this blog entry is so that I can alleviate some of the pent up juice in my veins so that I can have a good night’s sleep. Otherwise, I would be up all night jotting down ideas for a (hopefully) near future endeavor.
