Mama mia!!

I’ve got an idea for a short video. It’s about a man going to eat at an Italian restaurant. I need permission to film in an Italian restaurant for an hour. I’ll be the man, my Dad will be the waiter, unless one of the waiters is okay with it.

I’ve contacted my favourite local Italian restaurant. I told them I’d tag them, put their restaurant sign in the video, and give them a credit at the end of the video. This is the first step I have ever taken in making a video, and I am thrilled and proud of myself. I am putting myself out in the world. I’m doing it. I’m actually becoming a film-maker and an author, and probably a bartender or a barista to pay my rent. If I make more videos, I will find a local theatre group and go scouting for some people who are willing to act for free.

Jamming away to Italian music! Applying for jobs as a pizza chef. Going for an interview as a bartender and moving to a house in Edinburgh. Deciding to commit to life. Making videos, writing blogs, writing my novel, and reading instead of watching TV. Tonight I will dress up and go to a Jazz bar and maybe kiss a pretty girl.

I am proud of myself and happy that I have made a decision. Make the decision. There is no standing still. You hesitate and cringe because you’re worried about making the wrong decision, and you end up never making a decision at all. No waiting. No hiding. Move forward. GO!
