Slow Weekend

It has been a slow weekend. With boss being a bit under the weather, I am on my own a bit. Not as much as I was, but my afternoons are rather open. So what do I do? Well, I have a key now, so I have some sense of freedom. However, it has been rainy and cold. So my adventuring has been limited to the sunnier moments.

Anyway, Friday I went with the Kentucky team to the Arab market. It is like stepping into another world. Step out of the subway station and BAM, there it is. Good cheap produce, sketchy cheap other things. More than likely counterfeit or at the very least contraband. Still, quite the experience. Because of the shadiness of it all, I just took the little Nikon with me. And, of course, the GorPro was rolling!

Saturday was meh. It was the day I discovered that I need to get out of my room more. But I didn't. Sunday I went to the Christian Center church. It is very international, as in every continent but Antarctica international. It was slightly more charismatic that what I am used too. After all, it is a Pentecostal church. But it wasn't too bad. I cannot quite place my finger on it, but there is just something about that church. You know, that thing that draws you to something even when you take no real interest in it. Yeah, that.

But the most important thing that happened was one simple though: what story do I tell? Sure, I have what I am doing for AGWM, but what is the story I am supposed to tell outside of that. That changes everything. It makes me more active. It is taking that "what is the purpose of my life" question and specifies it. For your information, I have full rights over what I am shooting. So I may use it outside of what it is actually used for. This is a big deal. And with this new question of "what is my story?" changes the perspective.

So in the pursuit of the answer to this question, I plan on doing a bit of vlogging. And anyone who has seen anything I've ever done knows that this is not going to be your average video blog. I detest talking heads, especially when I have so tasty footage. I am a filmmaker after all.

So let the quest for understanding truly begin. This may be the grand adventure I need.

On a personal note, please keep my boss in your thoughts and prayers. A close friend of his suddenly and unexpectedly passed away this weekend.


Later.
