Hmm, things appear to be gaining in momentum again. I am very tired of the stagnancy. I believe that the dark age of 2008 has come to an end. I feel revitalized, like the energy is coming back to me. It is as if it were the dawn of a new age. I'll have to come up with some new tricks for this one.

October and November were pretty eventful. I decided to take on the arduous task of being the joker (TDK version) for Halloween this year. I made the whole thing myself. I tried to pay as much attention to detail as I possibly could. I also practiced the voice and mannerisms. It was very difficult, but I managed to capture the character (and stay in it for 6 hours). I was very satisfied with the way it came out. A lot of people were waiting to judge how well I did since it is such a popular character for Halloween. I got to be him again two weeks ago. They were showing TDK at my school and had a costume contest based on the characters in the film. I won first place.

It's been good so far. It's all coming together. I've been able to see my friends more this year than I did last year. And I've been able to work on some films again. The funny thing about it is that almost all the positive experiences I've had so far this year have occurred at home and/or with my friends from home. This means I've bridged the gap that was formed when I and everyone else had to go away to college. It's caused me to feel some of the good feelings from the old days. I'm going to keep trying. Each challenge I've faced has been bigger than the last. Thus far I have been able to keep up with them and present an even bigger solution. It would seem that tenacity is in my very nature.

Behold, the return!






I'll end this with an appropriate song lyric my friend showed to me:

"Ride forever onward, stare into the sun. Where hopes and dreams are everlasting marching on and on. Rise another day across the distant skies, where the dawn above the winter moonlight shines upon the fall of our lives."
