It has been a weird week. I can't seem to keep me head afloat all the chaos. One thing that stands out is that nothing is the same.
Nothing is the same.
Nothing is the same.
Nothing is the same.
Did I expect it to be? I usually welcome changes, but I notice it's only when I'm guiding the twists and turns or have already anticipated it. When the rug gets pulled out from under me, I stagger, I stumble, I fall.
So, it'll take a little while, a lot of prayers and some actual positive action on my part to accommodate these changes.

Conan O'Brien seems to know what I'm going through. Maybe a little. Maybe a lot. In case you haven't been following the late night talk show madness, Jay Leno has been the host of NBC's The Tonight Show with Jay Leno since 1992. Last TV season, Leno moved on from The Tonight Show with Jay Leno to merely The Jay Leno Show (how come these Hollywood creatives can't come up with better late night show names?) O'Brien took over Leno's previous gig. Now, just seven month in, NBC was in talks with Leno to move him back half an hour and in result, moving O'Brien and Jimmy Fallon back as well.
O'Brien reacted to the changes by releasing a Conanially funny statement setting his foot down to being shuffled around by the network heads. Addressed, "People of Earth," O'Brien warns us to not feel sorry for him, a man who's worked 17 years at a job he loves in a world where people have real problems. He concedes that he feels he cannot carry on the legacy of The Tonight Show with such a time slot change and even apologizes for his hair.
I know that, without a doubt, wherever Conan goes, I will follow. I have the utmost confidence that he will find success (and humor) no matter where he goes.
I just hope I can say the same for myself.
Oh - and maybe this means he'll have time to speak at UCLA's commencement this year?
