Margie and Scott and THE PODCAST
🕑 Added 2020-02-03 10:11:15 +0000 UTCHello everyone. I know I said Margie and Scott was coming on the first. (Do I ever keep dates? I’m the worst, I know.) I did a passthrough on the cut I am releasing and changed a few things plus added some narration. I should be finished with it this week for a release next week. I just want to be sure it’s right where I want it, etc. I’m actually quite nervous about releasing it. It’s a pretty sad documentary about drunks living in a Florida motel. The few people I’ve shown it to really enjoyed it but they don’t count being friends and all.
I am sorry about the lack of podcasts lately. Rick and I will hop on this week and record one. To be honest, I’m stressed. I took too much work last month and it’s bled into this month. I have my divorce hearing this week. I am working on a VISA for my move to Ecuador. I’m trying to finish this, finish that. I want to scream!! Haha. It’s been a tough month or two. I’m sad, happy, anxious, pissed, you name it and I’ve felt it.
I know most of you are aware of my upcoming move to Ecuador. A lot of you have asked me if the podcast is going to continue, am I going to keep making videos, etc etc. The answer is yes on all. This is not only my job but my passion. Passions follow you wherever you go. Im going to have a whole new place to explore and creepy bandos to film. Malls across South America to visit. Plus, I’m spending two months down there and one month in the US while living there. The US is where I get a lot of inspiration. I can’t go without pit beef and crab cakes for that long either. Haha. I’m changing towns and working on new projects. Don’t think I’m running away or quitting. No ma’am. I need to be in South America for a while. I want to learn spanish, lose weight and quit smoking cigarettes. I’m not getting any younger and I’m damn lucky to be healthy considering how much crap I put into my body. I want to wake up and feel good again. I can’t pull it off here. All my friends are boozers and smokers, I need a break from that. I need to eat fish and vegetables and go to a damn gym and stop with the tobacco. I have the resources in Ecuador to do this. It’s another land and a place where I can focus on me and my work. Learn to film, edit, be stressed AND go to a gym or swim in the sea for an hour or two. I’m very serious about this, (but I won’t be doing vlogs about it because those people annoy me.)
I know I ask for your patience a lot and I know it frustrates some of you but it’s just how I am. I’m not good with deadlines. Its my art. If I don’t think it’s ready for Friday, people are going to have to wait until the Friday after. I’ve decided not to work under time constraints anymore. I HATE feeling like I’m rushing through something just to get it done. Like Down in the Devil’s Well II. I was being pushed and pushed from all directions for a release but I stuck by my guns and did it the way I wanted without stressing about time. I won’t do it anymore. It’s a sick way to work. Very unhealthy. I need to learn to stop announcing shit before it’s done. This way you’re surprised when it comes out and I’m not stressed that I already gave you a date I couldn’t meet. Saying no is something I have a lot of trouble doing and when you’re juggling 100 different things everyday, I have to learn better. My apologies.
Anyway, sit tight. I’m planning on producing more Patreon exclusives once I’m settled in Ecuador. I have all kinds of stuff planned. I hope you’re all doing well and seriously, thank you.
