Like exercise, I thought the best time to probably write this quick blog entry was in the morning prior. Today, I begin with CD Fulfillment Australia, part of Shock Records. I think everyone knows how important landing back in the music industry was for me, and therefore, how important this role is. I'm not nervous about it at all... infact, i'm more nervous about figuring out the quickest route there... but it does feel like the beginning of the 'next chapter' in so many ways. I keep thinking of a quote I saw in a recent book on Australian promoters that basically said that if you didn't lose a large sum of money in a short amount of time, you weren't a real promoter... It keeps reminding me that we all have set backs occasionally, and it is more to do with how we choose to deal with them and move on from them that sets each other apart. Some will let it devastate them. Others will accept that it is a fact of life and learn from it. Either way, I guess the whole lesson from what I feel I should be learning about this year is shaping up to be about 'priority'... about realising that true importance of some things and the illusion (or dellusion) that we have about others. I prefer not to be deluded anymore. It IS still important to work in a field that I feel is my home... but it is important to realise how much it is still just a job, and that outside of that, I have a home, family, friends and goals that I still should be greeting and achieving.
You would think from my recent lack of blog entries that i've been sitting at home pretty much doing nothing lately... but then I think when I sit around doing nothing is when you actually do get the most blog action from me. I will sit down when I find a spare fifteen minutes or so and write something a little more comprehensive about the last few days... about seeing 'Mambo Italiano' on the weekend... about spending a bit of time with Ant... about catching up with David Knox, Dean and Cam last night for dinner... my final day at Alphalink... and my last two days off, filled with parents, a tiny bit of gym and wrapping up some loose ends... in short, it feels good to start today knowing that, although at great financial cost (it's only money), that I can finally begin to move on... and perhaps give the bird to a few people in the process.
