Living the Dream

10:28 PM  Where am I?

The last 48 hours have been an absolute whirlwind.  I got to work SNL last night, and the experience literally took my blood, sweat, and tears.  Minus the blood.  Okay, and the sweat.  But when I finally crawled into bed at 5:30 this morning, exhausted, tipsy, and somehow still buzzing with adrenaline, I was reminded of one of my favorite Kenneth quotes.  It rings very true right now...

"Do you know why I put up with this pitiful job, Mr. Donaghy? Why I fetch these folks’ lunches and clean up their barfs? Because they make television. And more than jazz or musical theater or morbid obesity, television is the true American art form. Think of all the shared experiences television has provided for us. From the moon landing to the ‘Golden Girls’ finale. From Walter Cronkite denouncing Vietnam to Oprah pulling that trash bag of fat out of the wagon. From the glory and pageantry of the Summer Olympics to the less fun Winter Olympics. So please, don’t tell me I don’t have a dream, sir. I am living my dream." - Kenneth the Page
