Just stumbled across this the other day.
I absolutely love this. It’s a pretty accurate description of my life, actually! I was so dead set on acting – so much that I was centering my entire life around auditions, not taking any breaks or vacations just in case a really important audition came in, and really had no other interests or prospects in life. I began this blog partially as a distraction; something else to do instead of put all of my focus into filming auditions, scanning the breakdowns and reading sides, and I ended up falling in love with it.
I also began to gain respect for beer and explore the world of brewing: my blog was a way to document everything I learned and all the beers I tried. Then, last May, we went to the Small Batch Revival at Odell Brewing in Fort Collins.
I “got lost and found a better one”.
The countdown to my Cicerone test/aka my new dream has officially begun. Time to go lose myself in my beer books. Again.
you made the right choice. Beer is most def the way to go…
I’ve never heard of the Cicerone test/certification but I just read up on it and wow, that’s baller right there! I am a bit jealous actually. I tried Odell at one of the liquor stores here when they were doing a tasting and really enjoyed their IPA’s. One day I’m going to make it up there to see the mothership!
It’s a beautiful place!
Honestly, I’m kind of scared that will happen to me…I really, really want to be a journalist but I don’t know if I have the skills. Still, I guess the universe will take its course no matter what, and what I want may not be the best thing for me.
With your writing skills, you’ll make an amazing journalist! I’ve read quite a few of your articles, and you’ve definitely got that “it” factor!
