Whoa!! My last post was in September? I am horrible! I knew I hadn't blogged in a while, but I didn't realize it had been so long. To my defense, though, I have since published several posts on SocialChange.is and I've been doing a lot of journaling. In fact, I've been told to write a book, which I started, but I just really don't have time right now. I hate, excuse my French, half-assing things, and that's where I am at this point. I half-ass my modeling, half-ass my writing, and even sometimes half-ass my work with MODEL26. I have given myself a huge guilt trip because at least I recognize that I'm spreading myself too thin, which I didn't know was possible without a school :-P
So what have I decided? I've decided to focus. I can't do everything right now, and something has got to give. I chose modeling and MODEL26. Both are risky. There's no telling how much money I'll be able to make as a model, or if I'll even be able to pay my bills. And there's certainly no salary in the near future to be made from my nonprofit. And my love of traveling won't die out any time soon, so that will have to remain funded :-) Solution? Keep costs minimal. If I keep my living costs minimal I can still do everything I want to do. In fact, come December 31, 2012 I will officially be homeless. Not homeless in the sense of not having a home (which I guess is what being homeless is), but I won't have a home to call my own. For the past 3 months I haven't spent more than 3 weeks in one city, and it doesn't look like that's going to change any time soon, so there's really no sense in paying rent for an apartment I won't be in for more than 2 weeks at a time. Since I won't have rent or a car to pay for, this, in theory, should keep costs down. Less things to pay for means less stress.
So what about Chris the Amazing? Remember him? He's great. He's still around :-) We went to Brazil and Amsterdam for three and a half weeks. It was dope. :-P I'll be spreading my life between his place in Germany, my mom's place on the east coast, and my dad's place out west, something that I haven't fully discussed with them yet :-P In the meantime, I'll be taking January off to take an intense German course and improve my speaking abilities a bit. Come January's end, I'll be back Stateside. We'll see where my life goes from there. I really can't plan any further than 60 days out. It's really too stressful.
