Mid Day Blog

Another mid day blog, kind of just debriefing here really.  You wouldnt neccessarily think I would need it but I think I need to tap into my zen like Eric mind a little bit, i need to relax, not for hours or anything, but I just need to take time to meditate and relax, listen to some good music, and just chill out, not worry so much, i think I am getting a little too wound up about little things and taking them a little bit too seriously.  I kind of just realized this today, just chill out, calm down and dont worry.  I work Wednesday through Friday on various projects.  I want to keep developing material, ive been typing into the notes on my phone and coming up with some decent stuff.  I also think Im going to start listening to music a little more and at the same time pulling away from social media, besides things like a blog, or note taking, applying for stuff and dictation.  Gotta get back to the basics, like a camp fire, i want to feel whats really going on around me.  Deal with stuff in a good way, keep having fun, spice things up. Alright lets see if theres anything else interesting or not.  I just overheard a lady who is putting up signs for a lost dog, its not hers, she found it, she is trying to find the owner.  My place has a couple of roommates in it, it doesnt always run as smoothly as you would want it to, Im trying to do my best, you want to be able to live and pursue things and keep a certain amount of harmony in the place and thats a tricky balance sometimes because you never know whats going to be thrown at you, sometimes when you feel like your doing your best something comes up suddenly and unexpected, but I think you have to take it as it comes, not make anything more of a big deal than it is, whether someone is mad at you or you are mad at them for whatever reason, you gotta stay even, maybe even find some comedy in it.  Peoples priorities boggle me sometimes, it is as absurd as it gets.  I read something recently about not taking yourself so seriously and it says that it allows you to find comedy in the day to day things more.  But really I think the most important thing is to try and be respectful and also just make sure Im doing my thing, waking up early and getting things done and staying on task with my goals and things I want to do while maintaining an appropriate space.  I think one thing I found thats hard is while someone may find something I did wrong, I may have also found something they did, but I dont neccessarily want to go mortal combat on them about it, I let little things go alot, which I've learned theres another extreme, some people let nothing go.  Any how, it is time not to just stay, but get focused, this time of the year is easy to get more lax, but i think it can be a more productive time, things can get done, alright until next time blog.

Randon Post

Hey Blog, I just figured I would check in and do a post about what I'm doing.  This week I had a couple auditions for promos and internet commercials that I got off of actors access and La Casting.  They both went pretty well, I am also self submitting myself for an open call which I have done most of the filming for.  Other than that I am working out, and preparing for camp and still trying to book paying gigs that help me move along and stay busy.  I did another open mic as well which didnt go great, but I got a laugh, haha.  I got to thank my family, they have been really supportive of my career out here in many different ways.  I believe in myself because of all the different things that they have instilled in me, I can do it.  I worked out with my roommate Luke this morning, pretty good workout.  Saw the movie Chef which I thought was really good, it is a fun one for sure, for anyone that likes food.  Still trying to focus on working on projects and staying proactive and busy, i know I'm not where I want to be yet but still am generating momentum to get there.  Alright Im gonna end the blog, I know its a short one, hope you enjoyed.

Sweet child

I'm not sure where this blog is coming from, but just know that I'm listening to fat bottom girls while I write it. Tomorrow neighbors come out should be pretty funny. I haven't been drinking much at all, but out the spirit if a fraternity movie i suggested the roommates maybe play a game of beer pong before the film, no harm no foul. I have been writing lately, even just stirring up some new ideas, doing some odd work. Workin on that budgeting/making ends meet game/trying to get the next gig. Ok, enough of that. I wanted to blog because of a thought that was provoked in my mind. I think that it's easy to not want to like Los Angeles, especially if your not native, or just new in town, or a number of reasons I guess the list could go on. But I had this little realization, while I may live a bit of a sporadic life or whatever, I realized that I hear people talking about not liking earthquakes or being scared and there is a little bit of that, but even though they can be scary, I do like them, and just like every other natural disaster or weather pattern I'd never wish harm to anyone obviously, but I do like them, something about it makes you feel alive. I'm not sure where I am going with this, I think what I might be saying is if I can embrace this place I think maybe I could love it, because I think even unbeknownst to me at times, I at least do like it. I think people that truly don't like it out here aren't able to embrace the things they do like, and I think I at least have some of that. It's easy to forget it when your just industry hungry or if you put yourself in too much of a box or don't switch up your routine. I've got tons of room for growth and I need to continue pushing forward and try to recognize my reality and deal with things head on and have no fear. Well, let's see how that goes, man I have seen some wierd things lately, been in some wierd situations, kind of been rocking, but you still gotta fight, find that eye of the tiger. Figure out a way to Mae that oil change, and get after it. Workin on some sketch writing too I think there's some potential funny in that. I've had some interesting experiences to say the least that I may be able to draw on. And by the way Al. I listened to the interview with pharrell williams on howard stern it was great, i am going to make sure and stay in touch with Taurus do. What a great collaborator that guy is, so many songs I didn't even realize he wrote for other artists. I could be wrong but in a comedic way I think Harold Ramis was a little like that too, he didn't necessarily need all the attention on him. I'm realizing life's to short, hopefully this can lead to some realizations and enlightenment, I will get back to with these soon hopefully. Later
