The waters of Lethe
Lethe is the mythic waters of forgetfulness. According to the legend, once you bathe in it, you will forget your past existence. This past weekend, I escaped to someplace sunny and warm and a few hours before I boarded the plane back to dreaded NYC yesterday, I had the pleasure to feel the effect of Lethe on me as I try to forget the pains of my heart break. I met him at a beach and I leave him on the beach. October 2-3 will be very hard for me so if you read this, I would appreciate if you send me an email to cheer me up. J
Being Recognized in the Escape
Well it seems that this “documentary” I filmed last year was not aired in Vh1 but in MTV in the side of the world I was at this past weekend. Mind you, it was aired almost 6 months ago but I was still recognized in many places, even by the street hanging out guy who said “I saw you on TV” and some chicks at the airport – both NY and foreign. It is a chapter I also want Lethe to make me forget. I was very optimistic that it would open doors for me – making my public access tv show syndicated - and did not realized that popularity may not all be positive and syndication may not occur at all – especially since the promise of me plugging the show was not on writing – only verbal- and it sure was not added on the final product.
Instead I receive sleazy agents calling me and trying to lure me with hopes of fame which I am not interested at all at this point of my life. I prefer to be at a nice private island with no communication what so ever but at least have someone to talk to near me. :-)
These were two very painful lessons of my life that I experienced this year. Made me evolve more realistically as a person but made me realize life is not as rosy as I hoped it was. I am apprehensive if I will experience a third heart breaking experience before the end of the year. Rule 40 - Beware of the a free lunch – there is nothing free or easy in this life.
