Even though I woke up at 6:00, 2-hours earlier than planned, I feel okay. Tired, a little fuzzy but okay. It’s because I ate dinner early and had minimal sweets. Gil-speak for minimal sweets is a little ice cream, maybe 1/4 of a pint. 5 or 6 Oreos and a bowl of blueberries, strawberries, raspberries in heavy cream… Okay so when I write it out it doesn’t sound as “little sweets” as I thought. Bottom line for the most part I slept well – for me.
I’ve been working my butt off these past 2-weeks reshooting of my eCourse for The Breakthru Company’s website. I have thoroughly enjoyed the 10-12 hour days. It has reawakened an excitement, a passion for editing I hadn’t felt in years, when every cell in your brain thinks if I do this it’ll create this energy and if I tweak that it will have the emotional impact I’m wanting. 10 years I spent in the edit bay. Meticulous work but so satisfying for me. Crafting something different, more beautiful than what you are originally handed – magic! What a great feeling it is.
I believe in 3 weeks I will have officially relaunched Breakthru’s website and feel it will have a lasting impact on actors throughout the world, maybe for generations… Time will tell.
In my relationship world, well I don’t have one, but curiously I’m okay with it. I don’t have the 4pm what’ll I do tonight, or I’m so lonely, or I wish I was in love feelings. Of course, I’d love to be ignited by a wonderful woman to laugh with, be kind to and share experiences with, but I believe this newfound creative rush has made things okay as they are – for now. Feeding one’s creative energies seems to feed all of me. It does make for calmer, more productive days.
I love you, Gil Junger. I love you, Gil Junger. I love you, Will Junger. I love you, Ben Junger. I love you, Skittles Junger. Things are really, really good as I approach 70. Wait what, 70? why did I have to ruin it!! I’m almost dead. – Yes, I’m joking -- I can’t believe I’m crushing it at my age. Funny, since I was 10 I associated getting old with loneliness, sadness, waking late in an attempt to make the day feel shorter as you waited for the early bird special, then watched reruns until you finally, finally fell asleep, forced to do it all over again until finally, you don’t awaken. That’s right … I hated the thought of getting old – but this shit, this life… it’s freaken awesome.
