Work, Work, Work

I have been working too hard lately. Not that I mind it that much, but I am beginning to feel a bit burned out. Between Mainstay, The Red Lion, and SCCtv I have next to no time for myself. Furthermore, I am trying to make a documentary and continue writing films. AND on top of that I am hoping I will be able to work on "The Warren Report" T.V. show again.

So, what does a guy have to do to get everything done? There is the Maxim "there are 24 usable hours in a day." But a guy has to sleep, right? The answer being yes, and no. I try to sleep and catch up with it as much as I can, but to work like I have been these past few weeks it means a major sacrifice in the sleep department.

I don't feel too bad about loosing sleep, though. I mean I am groggy and tired a lot, but it was the same way for me in film school. I am more productive if I am getting no sleep. How does that work? I don't know. It just does. One of my instructors in film school was also an insomniac like me. What did she do with her abundant creativity and lack of sleep? Direct the film "Sweet Crude," a documentary on the oil crisis in the Niger delta. I only hope I can produce at least one film that requires that much devotion and is that meaningful.

I guess time will tell.
