What's Up - Surf's Up

Now that the strike is over, work flow can return to normal.

Here is a normal workflow - calm calm calm calm, swell - 5 PROJECTS AT ONCE - GO!

The calm will return, but I’m looking forward to getting ‘the best barrels ever…get pulled in and spit right out…and just drop the lip and smack in WHABAP, drop down - SWABAA, and after that just drop in, just ride the barrel, and get pitted, so pitted’. Look up funny surfer interview for this reference and an internet legend.

Actually, here you go anyway.

What's Up - A Tool for Chaos

My life has been thrown into the wonderful chaos of caring for a newborn while also raising for a toddler.

The noise level of these combined events is sometimes counterproductive to focus, especially on creative work.

This ear protection, made to endure the sound of grinding steel, gunshots, and other cacophonies, has stepped up to save the day.

When I have a spare moment here or there, and when my wonderful wife is caring for the joyous noisemakers, these have allowed me the quietude needed to get some small amount of work completed.

What's Up - The Cycle

May I present - the work cycle (for an actor, and I imagine many creatives/freelancers):

This work is amazing.

No, actually I’m bad at it. This is terrible.

I better work really hard at it or else I’m doomed to never work again.

Actually, I’m pretty happy with it after working on it. Out it goes into the world.

Now what? Life is meaningless. When do I get to work again?

Well, now that I think about it, I like my life without so much work.

Yea no, my life is great.

What’s this? More work? The moment I accepted my life is great as is? Cool.

No really, cool. I love working.
