Born to Run

I'm in Jersey. It makes sense to me to have my mind wander the way it does today.

It's become apparent to me now that all my life I've taken Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run" quite literally and have tried to get out of Kansas for about 40 years.

"Oh baby this town rips the bones from your back, it's a death trap, it's a suicide rap. We gotta get out while we're young, 'cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run." "..let me in, I wanna be your friend. I wanna guard your dreams and visions... together we could break this trap. We'll run 'til we drop, baby we'll never go back. Oh, will you walk with me out on the wire? 'cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider, but I gotta know how it feels. I wanna know if love is wild babe I wanna know if love is real."

I'm almost sure to write more here today. It's a Saturday in New Jersey after all.

East coast again.

Well, here I am. I've been fortunate to have been hired (at last) by Digital 3D Cinema. Based in central New Jersey, we travel the US and parts of Europe installing digital projection systems, most often 3D systems, in various museums and theaters providing attraction based film production for our clients as well so that the attendees of these exhibits and films experience an amazing, immersive experience.

For me personally, this is the beginning of my "third act" in life. I have chosen to try and focus on this job, my health and happiness in the years to come.

I miss the friends I have in other parts of the world and look forward to re-connecting with friends I made here on the east coast a little more than 10 years ago. I will always wish for someone special to share the remainder of my life with, but if there is one thing I have learned it's that love comes to you when you stop trying to find it. I would not have been able to reach the point I am at now without the help, positive vibes and love of so many. For that I feel truly blessed.

Changes are coming up behind me with no intention of surprising me. They are shouting at me from their distance and seem to delight in the nature of their approach. I tell myself that I'm ready for them. I have to be.

Wish me luck. Please and mahalo! - ~O~
