we begin again

"And so each venture
Is a new beginning, a raid on the inarticulate
With shabby equipment always deteriorating
In the general mess of imprecision of feeling.
Undisciplined squads of emotion. And what there is to conquer
By strength and submission, has already been discovered
Once or twice, or several times, by men whom one cannot hope
To emulate-- but there is no competition--
There is only the fight to recover what has been lost
And found and lost again and again: and now, under conditions
That seem unpropitious. But perhaps neither gain nor loss.
For us, there is only trying. The rest is not our business."
-T.S. Eliot

I once considered myself a writer. I am trying to once again...
I am currently writing my own one-man play. And while the words sometimes struggle to come out in the right order, other times they pour out of me with incredible force. I hesitate to start this blog for fear of revealing too much of myself.... but as an artist, I feel is it vital to bare a part of my soul in everything I do. Or else, what's the point? I am the kind of person who needs to bounce my ideas off of those around me in order to affirm them, or rework them. Dialogue creates debate, and debate creates better ideas. I talk out my issues, and by doing so, I challenge myself and hopefully those around me.
I'm not expecting comments (although feel free to do so), but I am hoping that parts of this blog get you thinking. get you creating. get you willing to push me back.

It wont all be about my show... actually most of it probably won't be... but I just needed a place to move my fingers in the middle of the night when I get the itch.

And so it begins.
