64 Days - Part 1 from mike ambs on Vimeo.

I haven't written for a while. I actually don't know why. I'm happy, excited, intrigued and anxious all at the same time... and I'm starting to like it. I feel like I've been trapped in a bubble where, you're in a constant stream of thought. A stream of creativity, emotions and curiosity... but I haven't done much to get it out. I stumbled across this video on Vimeo and have been in love with it and a ton of Mike and Amanda's work ever since. In short, it's about the journey a film crew goes on to document a mans ride across the US... It's more captivating then I could possibly make it sound in my own words. It makes you really think about what's important in life and what truly shines through when you leave everything behind. I've always wondered what it would be like to pick up and leave, whether its with a close friend or by yourself, and go on an amazing journey. Not to run away, not to hide, not to make a statement... but to find out what's really out there. I haven't been real heart-set on any particular career path or direction in life since I was around five. I told my grandmother that I would be a rock star one day, and that I would make her proud. I still want to be a rock star... I still want to be a lot of things. I'm done with being frustrated about trying to fit into a cookie cutter, I want to be able to do what I love, and love what I do... It's that simple. For the first time in a long time I'm happy about what lies ahead, I'm ready and excepting of just taking punches and rolling with them. It's not that I wasn't happy before, it's that now I realize I don't have to let judgement of myself or others stand in my way. Cinematography is a beautiful thing, within it and especially within this story there where times I felt like the person behind the camera knew exactly what I had been through....what I'm going through...and what I will go through. This made sense to me. Check it out, I hope you enjoy.

Stay Happy. Live Life. Smile.
