Yes, that is one of the more important questions that we must answer. But hey, I'm not here to be oh-so-philosophical. I'm just here to bring a bit of craziness into your life (and also to make you question your life - but not in a philosophical way, let's face it, philosophy ain't my thaing).
I have been questioning my life of late. Not in the way you think - I'm not morbid nor have I ever been - but what I've been asking myself is "what on earth have I been doing for the past 3 years?" Sure, I've finally realized that I am not cut out for anything science related (just ask my school report card) and sure, I'm not cut out for the psychologist/behaviour analyst position that I had in my head and sure, I've realized how much I love literature. Classic, modern, ultra-modern (Meg Cabot?), sci-fi, romantic, Victorian... I can't remember the last time I wasn't in the middle of a book (excluding the times when I finish a book and start the next one). But nah, that's not what I discovered in the past three years.
I've spent a very confusing year trying out so many things and imagining what my future career would be. Journalist? No way. Radio presenter? Maybe someday. Broadcast news anchor? In your dreams. Advertising? Shoot me first. Author? Not creative enough.
This has left me with one path (which itself has a million different areas of specialization). Films.
Of course.
Gosh darn it. Where do I begin? What would I do without movies? Imagine if Tim Burton had never existed. The horror! Ok, so I'm a bit biased, since the guy's like my favouritest director in the whole wide world. What would YOU do without Hitchcock? Without Woody Allen? Peter Jackson? George Lucas? SS?
Maybe your life doesn't revolve around movies as much as mine does. You probably think I'm a silly little geek who sits in front of her computer with her nose two inches from the screen and drools over Hugh Jackman (I've never done that before, why do you ask?). But I've considered all my options and I believe I have reached a reasonable decision. The following are careers I just may consider:
a) Script writer
b) Film Editor
c) Camera-person
d) Director
And that's when I start questioning my life again.
I tells ya, these questions shall never leave this large yet malfunctioning brain of mine.
Till we meet again, fare thee well, me muchachos.
Yup, I'm aware that the word muchacho is being used quite incorrectly.
