I was traveling in my old job.  I would fly away to some other major city and teach people how to use software.  I have to admit I loved the teaching - it was a great thing for me to teach others what I knew.  I’ve always liked doing that which is also the reason why I have the Indie Filmmaking Guide on my site.  I love spreading knowledge.  However the traveling aspect while very cool to be visiting other cities and traveling for free, I did have to leave my family.  My wife would stay home and watch our two young kids which is a hard job (WAY more tough than mine!) while I would travel to places like San Francisco and eat at fine restaurants.  What a hard life right?  Well, I decided that a change was in order and decided to start applying at jobs in Dallas and in Atlanta.  I found one in Dallas, working for Fossil (the watch makers) and have since been hired and have moved to Dallas TX.

So far Dallas is great.  It’s a little warm right now during the summer but it will get much nicer for the rest of the year which beats all that snow I got when living in the Chicago area.  I don’t regret the move.

Then the next subject of this entry is that the movie that I starred in, well maybe not starred in but I was in front of the camera a little bit for, came out.  The Dark Knight was released and was the largest box office generator in the opening week in US history.  Turns out I wasn’t in it.  Neither was my dad.  Both of us were bummed but it was still a great experience to see a movie of that caliber being filmed.

Now I just need to get off my ass and start filming some of my films again.  That damn traveling job really put a hold on my filmmaking career!  Back to work Adam!  Back to work!
