Purpose?

Tonight has been one of those 'sit and think' nights. My internet connection wouldn't let me online for like an hour, so I watched special features on a dvd I had recently watched, tidied my room a bit, and did some thinking. I usually keep too busy for that :-) Anyway its been one of those "why do I do what I do?" nights. I often get asked why I work in the film industry, and why I didn't just stay in my comfortable, nicely paid Vodafone job with all the perks. And until tonight I've just said "because it wasn't what I was passionate about, so eventually it wouldn't have been enough". Tonight I defined it a bit more, and I actually wrote a full A4 page on it, it helps to get thoughts on paper sometimes. If anyone wants to know more, let me know, cos its all typed up. But yeah... here's a little excerpt from my thoughts ... so welcome to my world, enjoy your stay, don't be afraid to join in and throw in your 2 cents worth, and please come visit again :-)

Why do I do what I do? Why in a world where I can have a high paid office job with all the money, perks, and simplicity one could ask for, do I choose a career of instability, constant change and unpredictability? Because I love the challenge, I love the uncertainty of what’s around the corner. I love the fact that I can be a part of creating a world where anything is possible.

Everyone dreams of something beyond their capabilities, everyone dreams of the happily ever after, fighting dragons and beasts, being rich and famous, hitting the big time in their chosen sport … and so many other things. For that 90 – 120 minutes, or however long the film may be, you can help them escape into their world of “what ifs”.

So there you go ... a little glimpse into my world. Enjoy your stay :-) And for now I'd better go and get some sleep. So goodnite.
