The Walking Dead, should we be worried?

Okay. First off, I would like to welcome you to my crazy never ending journey on my road to success. I have been involved in the music industry since I was 15 years old, managing, booking, being a house mom, anything I could possibly do to be apart of the industry I love so much. I finally took the leap and enrolled in a school that finally offered a degree that would not bore me to death.

Two years have passed and I have learned an incredible amount of stuff that I originally didn't know about the Entertainment industry....like my love for television, the production behind it, and my obsessive compulsion to constantly check nelson ratings. I even recently subscribed to Entertainment Weekly newsletter (and bythenumbers.com is number 2 on most viewed) I really never thought that I would find a love for something this much in a industry that I once knew absolutely nothing about. Don't get me wrong, I still have a great passion for working in music. There is nothing like seeing your favorite live band, the feeling you get (well at least the feeling I get) cannot be replaced by anything in the world, but can you live out two passions that are pretty different from each other? I'm a bit torn on that.

Besides my crisis, I recently have found a new favorite show on television "The Walking Dead". It's brillant, the cinematography is insanely beautiful, the acting is on spot, the writing is creative and surprisingly orignal and not to mention the nelson ratings for AMC are at the highest they have ever been for an original television show. Why! On earth would you want to change anything?!?

Well, today I read a very displeasing article about the creator, Frank Darabont, firing his entire writing staff! Um, hello! You have 13 new episodes that you need to start writing, plus if it's gold don't change it! Ever since I have got into television, I have been disappointed with more than half of the shows that the networks have been throwing our way, finally something amazing, coming from an amazing comic book. Is it really smart for Darabont to fire his entire writing staff, after a super successful first season? Obviously, NO! But apparently he is known for being hard to work with, and from now on wants to only hire 'freelance' writers for the show. I see some angry people in the writers guild, dont you!? I'm not exactly sure where this will all end up. Hopefully the show will not just be another disappointment next season. I know I'll be watching for more news on what happens with the show.

Hopefully I'll also be able to make up my mind on what I love more. Any advice? Can you have two passions and pursue them both?

Until next time, watch "The Walking Dead" if you haven't, you won't be disappointed. Especially if you love Syfy geeky stuff as much as I do.
