Surviving My Quarterlife 14

Apr 01, 2008 - 13:12 PM PST

Today is the first day of April. The last three months have gone by very fast! In that time I officially turned 25. I did not do anything for my birthday, in part because I had a birthday party last year.

Unfortunately I have not made any significant advances in my life in these three months. Well that is not totally true I guess. I should note that around the beginning of March I was in really good shape. Not male model shape, but very good shape. I was running 5 miles a day for five days a week and running 10 to 13 miles once per week. This is in addition to lifting weights like five or six days per week. However, this last week I totally stopped working out. It was strange working so hard and then stopping. I stopped because I started spending way too much money, time, and energy on exercise. I was spending like 30 or more dollars per day on food alone. So decided to take at least a week off. Over all, I think this was a good decision. My body actually had time to fully heal. My knee, which was starting to hurt all of the time, got better. The best part was that I had time to write and work on my scripts.

Anyway, now that I have taken time off from exercising twice per day, I am a little out of shape. I did run 11 miles two days ago and I think I ran about 6 or 7 miles last night, so I am getting back into it.

I have had three not-so-real dates with someone I call Marathon who I like, but I doubt likes me back as much. I still don't know if this will lead anywhere or not. I'm guessing if it has not gone anywhere in three months it probably is not going to happen at all. It appears that the potential relationship has crashed on lift-off. I am not sure about this, but it appears to be the case.

I should probably add that around my birthday, I sent Marathon an e-mail and a text message, but did not get any response. Then a few days later I finally called. Marathon answered, but was busy. The object of my affection said that they did get my messages, but that they have just been really busy. I do believe this, but it didn't make me feel any better inside. So I just said call me when you have time, Marathon said they would, and I haven't heard from them since. So that is why I have just about given up on the relationship. I have decided that I will try one more time to contact them and see what's up and after that the ball is totally in their court.

For the next few days or weeks I am going to focus more on my career. I have established contacts with a lot of good TV shows and companies, but still haven't got a job out of it. But I will. I just have to keep at it. I truly believe that where there is a will, there is a way.

Okay, I really want to write more, but I have to go. I will try to write more later. Good luck at surviving your life!!! It ain't easy!
