What dreams may be

The last couple of nights I've started dreaming about Samson again. At least now he's involved in my normal dreams and not those crazy set dreams. Last night he was there but i mostly saw his identical twin. His twin looked like he did when i first met him. But his twin was named Levi Leipheimer as in the cyclist. Oh if this isn't clear he doesn't have a twin, just two younger brothers.

Thank you 2009...

All in all, 2009 was very good to me.

I met a lot of awesome people and made some new friends. I learned who would truly stand by my side when it came down to it. I saw a group of girls I was mentoring graduate. I drove cross-country on my first road trip without my parental units. I went to Dallas, Roswell, the Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, and San Diego. I worked on my first feature. I met Samson. I watched my first Tour de France. I went to Comic-Con for the first time. I moved into my own place with roommates. I worked on many short films. I got a raise at work. I graduated. I worked on my second feature. All my friends came into town for the holidays...

I am so thankful for this year and all the blessings that have been bestowed on me.

I finally got to see Samson again on December 26th. 5 months, 4 days, 13 hours and 47 minutes (approximately) since I had seen him last. And it still felt like it did the last time we saw each other. He went for the hug when we first met up. We sat across from each other and just talked and talked. He said he would hire me when I got to New Orleans. We talked about what I need to do to make the transition to New Orleans, a time table of sorts. We were there for over two hours. I had forgotten how much I enjoy his company. His hair is so much longer now, and he shaved most of his facial hair off. He paid for dinner. He walked me to my car in the cold. He gave me a hug. I gave him a Christmas card I made for him. We talked a little more. We hugged again.

I'm going to New Orleans in two months exactly. My cousin and my Aunt are meeting me there. I'm so excited. Samson said he's going to meet up with me and we're going to hang out around town. Hopefully I'll get to meet some film people and start networking. Who am I kidding? I just can't wait to see Samson again.

The plan is to stay in Orlando until the end of August. My first official day in New Orleans will be September 1st. Until then I'll be working at the office making beaucoup mulah. Working on short films. Working on Adamar's feature (hopefully). Samson said he'd be interested in working on another feature like that, so I'm hoping I can talk Adamar into coughing up some of the budget to hire him, because he does make a huge difference on set. Plus, it's great having someone professional on set to teach the crew about how real sets work. I know I learned a lot and have a lot more to learn. Plus, I want him here. And it'll be four months between my trip in March and the film in July. Adamar knows how much I'm into Samson... so he might help me out.

There is a ton more to talk about, but I'm at work so technically I shouldn't even be blogging this...
