Ahhhh how the years pass

Din't think I'd be back did you you!

I was reflecting on how the years pass very quickly and I was reading back on all my posts for my directing class last semester at Central institute of technology. But most of all I was reflecting on all the friends I had made, lost and found again through my TAFE years.

It is doubtful anyone will be reading this and since I've already passed my diploma of film I don't need to update this blog. But I am anyway! Because this Sunday I was board and started writing! What ya got against it!

I had a great time studying film. When I began my studies after leaving high school in 2010 (halfway through my eleventh year of graduation) I had high aspirations for my future. Not only my future but my immediate future, by twenty I wanted to be behind the camera making stories for the world. I haven't changed my big ideas yet but this time I have shifted my focus onto music. Having just finished a certificate IV in music at leederville. But my big ideas brought me something more valuable then a career. It was the interesting and overall unique people I had met over those years.

I began studying film halfway through 2011 and it was off to a good start, I had plans to make a vampire movie and was well on focus. But then I met people who would become close friends to me in those few years and I was distracted as any teenager would be by the world in general, relationships, people and parties and drinking etc. So much so that my focus on my career faded into the foreground and my general laziness helped keep it there. But I was very fond of these people so much so that my aspirations to become more of a writer than a visual painter, working in a huge crew etc., were not enough to stop me from applying again for certificate IV and then again for the diploma of film. The other thing was I really loved film. I enjoy, to this day watching film, the places they transported my young mind were limitless. The downside is of course life is generally on a smaller scale and my aspirations are still ultimately unrealistic as I work every Saturday (not in complacency mind you i'm not against the work at all) at woolworths.

But the dreams of mine never seem to die the only problem is my aspirations have always been bigger then my ability to carry them out. I know a few cats who have succeeded in both industries well above me, that is in music and film, and are getting paid to do it. But money was never important to me, it was more the ability to share my creativeness as others do. It is way too tricky for a person like me these days, maybe there was a year where I would achieve at least mild recognition but that year has either passed or doesn't exist yet.
The other problem was just simply not having enough talent to be successful in either mediums but that's a whole other issue I have.

But yes the years do pass and here I am blabbing to the zero people who will read this, but just like my music and my writing, it will most likely remain average and unappreciated, but ya never know! that's what I always say. I am indifferent to most normality in life, family a steady income etc. but it's hard to get a commonplace world to grasp that concept. But it will be my philosophy till the end, that is, dream big, do what ya wanna, don't take no shit.

Cheers filmies
