HAPPY B-DAY VIC!
The worst thing about taking someone out for their birthday who knows you really really really well, is that when you suggest for example going out to watch some live entertainment, they know that going to watch a live comedy show might actually have just a little bit to do with what I want to do tonight instead having a long overdue night out to kick back relax,have a few laughs and catch up while we celebrate such an important day like this one is!(lol)
Ok sure,I'm hosting "Sunday Night Live" next Sunday in Toronto and I've never actually seen the show which is brutal considering I am booked to do it next Sunday Night but that doesn't for sure mean I'm a completely self consumed jerk does it?
I guess maybe it does and I haven't even noticed because I've been hangin around with so many industry type people so much lately. I guess with my life on hyperspeed these days and feeling sometimes for some reason, like I need to give everything I have to this crazy ass so called career I have on the go, I end up some times so consumed and overwhelmed by it all that I can actually end up losing track of the things that always mattered the most to me and maybe even take for granted the people who have always been there with unconditional support and faith in me as this five year quest now takes me on yet another path to who knows where.
I guess there are so few of these people in my life that it almost seems ridiculous for me to believe it's even possible to somehow take them for granted but maybe that's why that kind of shit can happen if you let it.
You end up meeting lots of new people when your career seems to be on the move. Partly I guess because people in this industry seem instinctively inclined to want to get to know you a little bit and maybe even pretend like they are their for you when they see that some sort of connection or relationship with you might actually end up being good for their career's but mostly I think because you just meet and get to know way more people because you end up working on more and more stuff with people when your career is moving in the direction mine is right now!
This is my life now and it's everything I have been working towards and I love it! That doesn't mean thought that it doesn't suck when maybe you realize one day that there might be someone you thought you kind of knew and could count on and hopefully even trust, turns out to be nothing like you thought they were. Not that this has happened and I'm actually talking from experience here because that's probably not something I would want to talk too much about in my blog here but I will say that the fakness of this industry and probably most of the people working in it absolutely can sometimes make you take stock of anything and everyone you should in fact appreciate more than you do sometimes.
About a month ago, Vic planned a surprise party for me to celebrate "Another Crappy Canadian Latenight Talkshow" going on the air as well as "Be Real" being on the air and to recognize that it had been a little over five years ago since she threw me my first party to celebrate actually even getting on the air at all. So here I am and things really couldn't be going any better for me. Knowing that I have always wanted this blog to be a place where I would stay positive and focus on the good stuff more than the bad or disappointing stuff, I would like to say thanks again Vic!
Thanks for everything! Thanks for being who you have always been and who you will I'm sure always be! It's good to know that!
Happy Birthday Vic and here are a few of the pics I was telling you about from the party that were sent to me just the other day....
