Halfway through filming<\/a>, but barely started editing. \u00a0Why? I\u2019m not sure. My birthday is coming up, and they always depress me (another year older and deeper in debt<\/del> no closer achieving any of my goals (beyond getting my trophy wife, of course)). \u00a0I had some technical issues: my brand spankin new computer wouldn\u2019t read the SD cards we record the video\/audio on, which was only resolved with my wife\u2019s genius suggestion of not using the built-in reader, but a USB adapter instead.\u00a0 But beyond annoying (really annoying! I. Hate. Computers.\u00a0 I hate even more that that’s how I make a living!), no real reason why I should be depressed.\u00a0 Yes, I was down in the dumps after our second weekend<\/a> of filming, but by the time I finally started editing end of last week I actually felt really good about the imagery captured.<\/p>\n

It could be the normal wishy washy nature of my ‘moods’ (I consider myself mildly bipolar, or dealing with cyclothymia<\/a>, as a friend educated me about yesterday) and it’s a ‘this too shall pass’ sort of thing, but it feels deeper than my usual down-in-the-dumps days (and has lasted longer as well).\u00a0 Last year, around my birthday, I was really down and it lasted for nearly a month.\u00a0 It either naturally resolved itself or was helped along by my decision (and wife agreeing to support) the notion of making this very movie.\u00a0 But, on a global scale, the things that were dragging me down last birthday aren’t replicated this year.\u00a0 So what the hell is up (down) with me?<\/p>\n

One of the reasons I put off this week’s (well, last week’s, as my reminder comes on\u00a0 Sunday) blog post is because I’ve done so little this week.\u00a0 I have a dead period right now and am not motivated to work on anything else, so decided to do this blog post. Maybe this Sunday I’ll be out of my funk and the next post will be more upbeat.\u00a0 Or not.\u00a0 The problem with this whole depression thing is I just don’t give a damn either way.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Oh, forgot to mention: I still<\/strong> <\/em>haven’t done the crowdfunding site.\u00a0 Thinking about that failure tends to depress me even more than thinking about the editing I’m not getting done, which is probably why I forgot to mention this when I first wrote the post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
