The movie of my life...

I was sitting directly in line with the wing of the plane,looking out the window when a sort of movie started playing in my head. Maybe it was just the lack of sleep over the last couple of days but as the plane took off, my head filled up with all these images and the movie of my life started playing in my brain.

The opening titles swooped in as "a new beginning" or something like that as the wing tilted and we shot up into the sky. Down below was what seemed like a lifetime of memories and five years of getting to where I am now with a shot at starting all over again.The sky was clear and perfect as the sunshine glimmered off the shiny silver wing but it didn't last long. Soon the wing was cutting into some puffy white clouds and before the next scene played out in my head, the white wisky clouds turned a touch grey. Seconds later everything turned almost black,you couldn't see a thing as this movie in my head became clearer than ever.

Things will probably never be easy on this trek I am on. If the last five years have taught me anything,its that I should start getting use to the ups and downs of the entertainment industry and expect way more downs than ups. As the plane rose above the clouds, I put my shuffle on and listened to some music that my sister had loaded into it for me. As the music started playing, we transitioned in and out of happy feeling puffy white clouds to even darker clouds than before where you couldn't see a thing.I'm not sure who it was I was listening to at one point but it was perfect sound track music.

I guess I was pretty much asleep when the air waitress tapped my shoulder and told me to take out my earphones.I was back to reality and ready to get this new chapter of my life rolling. The movie of my life was over in my head and it was time to start living it. I'm definitely on a roll these days and things are looking better than they ever have before.The sky is clear,the opening music is kicking and it feels like I am on my way.That being said,I know that sometime down the road,things will more than likey get tough again and I will need to keep hangin in there. On the other side of every dark patch there will be another clear spot.The clear spot will turn to white puffy clouds and there might be more dark clouds after that and that's just the way it is I guess. All I know for sure is that most of those dark clouds are behind me right know and it's smooth sailing as far as I can see so for now I'm just going to enjoy the ride and see where it takes me.

Glad to have you guys tagging along with me.
