To Move or Not to Move...

... That is the question. Whether it is nobler to suffer the slings and arrows of space boredom, and treacherously long bike commutes, or to take up arms against furniture rearrangement and wall recovering.

Life is re-inventing itself at every corner as I hold on for dear life around the bends. A cubical sits empty, a rolley chair remains stationary in a midtown office space. Conversely, I don't stop moving. My extreme unsatisfaction and frustration marched itself into my bosses office and announced that we were leaving. Four Months later, we find ourselves working in a small business home office in Prospect Heights and bartending. Four months finds us restless again.

Ironically, leaving the day job to have more time for creatives, leaves only time to work toward our original salary.

Is moving just me looking for a new creative project to distract me from not working on creative projects? How does one begin getting things started? How do we start writing? How do we record that song? How do we film that webisode? Where do we find the time? How do we give ourselves a break and forgive our impatience? our inactivity? our need to snack or nap?

Hopefully I can figure it out and share my success stories, or we can fall into failure together one funny story, one PB&J, one failed home kombucha brewing company at a time.
