timmy and i went to a play yesterday.  it has been quite a while since i have been to a play that i didn't know people working with it.  i just went to go.  to experience the play.

the play was about the people's temple and jonestown.  fascinating stuff.  it really gave a voice to the entire story, not just the purple kool-aid.  it was extremely moving and well done.  

it also made me miss doing theater terribly.  it has been at least 4 years since i have been in a straight theater production.  theater was such a huge part of my life for so long, and it feels so off that it has been thrown the wayside for so long.

of course, my priority (educational and financial) right now has to be graduate school.  i am enjoying graduate school.  it is filling me with new passions and possibilities.  however, i have to believe that i can have a career and life that involves all of my passions.  this is a non-negotiable point for me.

as i said to timmy, you can picture yourself doing your career (not a job, but your career...they are totally different things) in your mind...different pictures...different careers...but, some pictures, some careers just feel better than others.  some just make you more excited about the future.

i owe it to myself to be excited.  it just makes way more sense to me.
