'Some kind of Monster'

After recently watching Metallica's musical documentary, 'Some kind of monster' I have realised my creative potential. After a year away from acting and musicals, this documentry, amongst other insignificant realisations, made me realise how much I missed performing. In a weird artisitc understanding, I related to lead singer James Hetfield recovery from alcholisim, and the creative road the band edured to produce their platnium studio album 'St. Anger'. The hours spent writting lines, developing performance techniques whilst dealing with the band's personal issues came as a former familiarity.
I thought of the year that is to come, and the things I will be doing. I then thought of last year- my year as a responsible adult, where I chose to pound the city pavements in order to throw my savings and energies into seeing the world was much needed, in terms of living life. 2 years ago I thought having 'life experience' was a prequisite, but I now understand that it is a neccesity- like a key to a door- it is important to break away, disconnect and try new things to be able to come back and 'test the waters' with a more accurate judgement.
It's funny how such an obscurity like a metal documentary can make you realise your true passions in life....
