My Monkey and Me
MY MONKEY:
My Monkey has been with me all my life. He currently lives up in my mind. Not physically inside my brain, of course. But still very much in my head. In the Operations Department of my Self, which for me, is my mind.
My Monkey has a really awesome time up there. For some reason he gets insane satisfaction from meddling with my personal decisions. He lives in fear and wants to share this anxiety with me, through his endless chattering in my mind. The chattering often becomes a full-fledged conversation, making me sometimes forget who’s actually talking up there.
This blog is my attempt to quiet the Monkey, so I can achieve a more conscious level of awareness in my own life experience.
ME:
My name is Paul W. Davison. I started this blog in September 2007.
My Story, In Brief
I am currently living the most significant phase of my life experience. Perhaps someday I will call this phase the “Manifesting Phase.” The phase of allowing physical people, places, and things to come into being. This phase began back in December of 2005, when I learned that I was going to be a father for the first time.
Prior to being a dad, I was an Army brat, living over half my life overseas by the time I entered the United States Military Academy in 1991. A fifth-generation West Point graduate, I served for six years as an infantry officer before resigning in 2001 to pursue a career in film and television.
I worked on several major Hollywood productions and spent about four years as a “writer” for reality TV in New York City. I conceived and produced a documentary film, as well as wrote an award-winning feature script about the Army’s first African American paratroopers.
Currently I continue to write and work on film projects, in addition to writing this blog. I also run a small distribution business and run sales and marketing for a company in the organic/natural products industry.
