Unstuck

I'm thinking a short and sweet blog here. I have been writing lately, shooting a film a little, I have an audition tomorrow. I am trying to learn to think outside the box. My great grandpa turns 90 tomorrow and my cousin Alice 5. I still remember I bought the album Alice by Tom Waits after she was born. I haven't listened to a lot of waits lately but that's probably his best album. Tom Waits is an interesting cat he's made a living making music but he's also crossed over into the acting as well. He's even in the film fisher king with Williams and Bridges. He sort of plays some despicable or low life characters like the ones he sings about. I'm excited to see St.Vincent with Murray probably see that soon. I'm thinking about strategy, I think I may need an acting strategy. Will see how this short film comes out, I think it's just good practice at the very least. I do think I sort of need to re-focus and get focused. Which will take a lot hard work and just staying at it. A lot of things come to mind, I'll let you know how that part of this blog is going soon. Distractions are easy to come by, listening to your gut and intuition is not always easy, especially when it feels you have no control over the future. So I strive to live more in the present and challenge myself to stay on task, setting up necessary tasks for myself and eliminating distractions so that I really have a chance to be great, and am willing to be open to go out and fail , and succeed. There's so much I could write but it would be very long, and I won't write it all here, not because of the content, but the length. I'll keep on for a bit though. I listened to a Bill Murray interview on Stern it was pretty interesting, I dig the dude. I am sensing that time is becoming an issue, tick tock, I'd like to get organized in part is it's easy to let time go by, why not make the most of it and leave the rest in the hand of the creator. Life's too short is a thought/theme that ran through my head over the last month, interesting eh? Haha. I had a moment when I was on my way to the bank my mind had an interesting thought, I thought back to when I worked at the sandwhich shop, I accidentally dropped a cutting board in the sink while I was washing the dishes, it happened to be big enough to clog the sink, too guys came over and couldn't get it out, they said don't worry about it shit happens, that could've happened to anyone that's a huge board, they went to go get a special thing to get it out because they couldn't, by the time they got back I had figured out how to get it out, I got myself unstuck, they were amazed they said how did you do that. And for some reason it made me think you know what shit happens, things get stuck, sometimes you just have to improvise, that's life. Anyway I'll probably blog again soon, I'm gonna go see if I can get some laundry done, peace.
