Pedal (Blog): to do's

It's strange... I always knew that coming back to "normal" life would be difficult for Larry after Bar Harbor. I remembered the depression that comes from withdrawal of endorphins. The awkwardness of sleeping under a roof, in a bed... instead of on the ground, under the stars. The loneliness of not constantly moving. It's hard to adjust; to both speed up and slow down your life into the routine you left behind. It takes time, and part of you feels an emptiness that was created from an experience you find unable to clearly express to other people.

I know all that might come across as off putting - but these are just initial reactions, I think they are natural when you leave behind anything important abruptly.

But, even having said that, I'm still surprised to find how I feel after this trip - I feel much of the same effects as I'm trying to settle back into life. I'm finding it hard to adjust.

I don't really have anywhere I was going with that, I just thought it was strange.

Okay, let's get to why I sat down in the first place: my current To-Do's. The three most important things are, one: Money (sell off equipment, get back to work, crawl my way out of debt, enter several video contest, et cetera), two: write and shoot a new episode, and three: I need to find hard drive space... a lot of it. I have over 120+ hours of HD footage, a few 100 foot spools of 16mm that needs to be processed, hours and hours and hours of MP4 footage that was taken by a mix of Larry, myself and the crew. And I can't really get to work on anything until I can import it.

So in each of those three things, there are many smaller to-do's that branch off in every direction, but those are boring to get into. So, I just thought I'd let everyone know what I'm keeping myself busy with.
