Woke up this morning @ 6:30 so I could have some hot water ::ahhh:: shower?
The reality of the situation ? I couldn?t sleep. I can never sleep. It really drives me crazy because my life consists of these waves of being completely manic- enthusiastic and wide awake ? to literally nodding off ? unfocused and unable to stay awake. Seems tragic.
Today was a much better day ? the stress level has dropped to a reasonable irritating itch, and I took the time to do some of the things that are important to me as a person?and ultimately ended up having some fun as well?
I went to see a two lectures ? One about the nature of creativity and how creative environments are nurtured or more often, not nurtured by corporate entities ? and one about DVD development and its massive growth and growth potential for the television market. If you are interested ? post me ? I?ll tell you about them?
Later ? I met up with some of my best friends in Europe ? and we had some time to hang out. We met at the Hotel Carlton bar and headed to the Alcatel party and then on to the grand auditorium for the Star Academy finals. Those of you in Europe know all about this I am sure ? but for those of you in America?it?s like?well?Star Search ? kind of?
Anyways Eileen hooked up VIP passes ::of course:: and we headed directly into the severely restricted VIP area for champagne and plasma screens they had set up for the fucks that can not interact with other human beings?after a bottle or two I had to leave the sanctity of the VIP area and go see Mariah Carey, Tom Jones, Atomic Kitten, and XXX. Ms. Carey was gorgeous?stunning?unbelievable, and such a brilliant voice?I don?t care. I don?t like her music either? but I have to give it to the woman ? she is blessed?RESPECT?
Had a heart to heart with my friend who is having some martial issues ? she has been separated from her husband for a bit ? and it was funny she is telling me she needs her space ::heard that not too long ago:: and he keeps calling her, and it?s driving her crazy. I told her I did the exact same thing ? because our lives become so intertwined ? and you want to share things with that person that really is part of you. As you have different experiences you change and soon you don?t know each other anymore. (I know that is a massive oversimplification, but?) It is the same as this quantum physics theorem about the essential you existing in two places at the same time ? and because each has a different experience they become different entities.
Because I have been soul searching and trying to deal with the collapse of what used to be my ?life? I felt obligated to share some things that are helping me. Some of the simple things that can help us on our path towards happiness, and we ended up wispy looking out at the yachts and proclaiming that we must have lost our minds being miserable when we are some of the most fortunate people on the planet (and I am NOT going to mention war). Here we are in Cannes, in the VIP room of the most happening event in Europe, drinking champagne COMPLAINING!
Yeah ? time for a reality check. So we shook it off and got back to some serious networking.
I am happy to report we finished our night drinking with rock stars and executives :yeah ? I know that sounds like a bad mixture: , and all was good in the world for a time?
I ended up the evening on TV and met some Dutch rock star chick that lives a block and a half from me in Amsterdam. She was a judge for the TV show?and I remember we stood on the beach watching her run away to her people laughing.
MILIA starts tomorrow, so I had better sleep?
