Waking up with a feeling I have a lot to do is never healthy. Pretty much sleepy from the night before, I woke up to realize that it was the weekend, the two days where I make good use of time to work on my career. So, now that I got my master CD done, what’s left for me to do is an album cover and my own directed music videos. And in order to do music videos, I’d need scripts, settings, locations and people involved to consider. I guess today I took care of ‘people involved’.
About a few months ago, I tried to start directing a music video for my song “Headline News”. I emailed my friends to be part of the video shoot and it was to be shot on an afternoon. I guess my invitation was too light but only 9 out of 30 people showed up and the bar was not dark enough. I like to call that an epic fail but BigSiS hates it when I’m too hard on myself. However, I guess four months later and after I got myself the ‘master’ CD, there was no way I can make any excuses to not start working on the music videos.
It’s pretty cool when your grandparents work as advisors for one of the popular journals (it’s more like People Magazine but in a newspapers version that comes out weekly) called “Popular”(irony!!!). The people who work for Popular journal were amateur dancers who are willing to be choreographed and who wouldn’t mind being involved in a music video. Some of them could also be ‘extras’ in my video. I’m trying to use less of my ‘friends’ since they do not really take things that seriously and treat this as work. For me, work is time and time is money. Nothing waits and I can’t stand to be left not getting things done.
So, it was a good day planning for my music video. I’ve got the people fixed and I’ve decided to have five music videos done, four of which would be directed by me and the remaining one directed by KP .
The day ended with a pretty heavy ‘fuck diet’ dinner with DoubleA and his wife. I guess I’m trying to savor every moment I have left in Myanmar. Spending time with DoubleA and his wife is always awesome and while staying at their place before going out for dinner, I managed to make their dog hump my leg and hijack wrestling videos from DoubleA . Yes, despite my age, I’m still a HUGE fan of WWE. It was a good first day of the year. Fat and tiring but quite promising for a good year.
