Well just on cue: depression. Man, just like that! Annoyed at Mark's reaction to the reel and realizing that nothing is going to come of it from his end because he doesn't seem to really "get" what's going on I wake up this morning and it's like I went back in time. I was happy BEFORE all this shit started because, duh, life is fucking brilliant... this starts... and even though things haven't changed? Now I'm absolutely moving in molasses. You pour the Lagavulin in the MIDDLE of the goddamn day and you get videos like this...
 
 
Granted, that's a lot cooler environment than a fucking bathtub but I am absolutely STUNNED at just how similar the feelings are. This completely out of control feeling where the people around you aren't actually helping you, they're just holding you back. They don't actually understand what you're communicating (or they just won't respond) and your direction is fuzzy. You start to slow down, you start to withdraw... it's identical. The good news is my life is so overwhelmingly AWESOME I can't stop being uplifted by it. My wife, my kids - even my backyard is a big SLAP IN THE FACE that keeps the molasses moments temporary. Ooh, that's a good entry title. And exactly what depression feels like.

Of course the reason I'm writing is that this molasses made me say FUCK IT and bring YET ANOTHER production company into the fray: LMNO Productions whom I know from Laura Adler because I helped her pitch an idea to them 3-4 years ago. They also produced the show Donna and I were in called "Over Your Head" in 2008. I gave the guy I had met the reel yesterday and his response just moments ago?

"Adam! Watched, and loved the video. Tons of fun. Let me see if there's any interest from my head of development. She's out today but will be here tomorrow. Talk soon!"
 
And there ya go. That's a good way to take control and keep pushing. Of course now we have 3 avenues and I'm about to just start contacting beer and liquor companies to have them sponsor the ORIGINAL Hats & Minigolf idea and produce the whole thing myself. FUCK YOU ALL.
