Eye of the Tiger

So, it's probably too late to write this blog and I'm not sure if I have a lot to update you on but I figure I'll give it a try. This was not my best week overall all as far as motivation or productivity, not a bad one just not the best, the 5-7 week prior I got a little more done and used my hours better. Although did get some good filming done this week and had a few auditions that I did fine at. I'm pressing on ward, getting my taxes done, there are things I need to do this next week that hopefully can get done, I'm sort of organizing in my mind exactly what those things are. I'll have to journal but I think they drift from job hunting to really getting hungry and seeking that next acting gig, wherever that may be. I also need to look at health insurance. There's lots to do with planning and budgeting and action I need to take care of, I'll update you again soon on it all. I am still determined to press forward and fight for what it is I want. Until next time.

Milestone!

Welp, that only took about three and a half year but I am now officially part of SAG-AFTRA which is an acting union, I have been eligible for awhile but after so many bookings you must join.  This last month I did a little acting work on my own and on paid gigs.  I have been keeping up regularly with my working out, and also seeking other job opportunities.  I have a job interview tomorrow so I shaved today, we will see how that goes.  I have also read the first two hunger game books and just started the third one mocking jay.  I also should be one more day of filming away from completing the short film that I wrote last summer and started filming about a month or two after coming back from vacation at the lake.  I met a guy doing a print shoot named Jorge and we have become friends, he is shooting the short film, we went to Lebowski Fest last friday and that was a lot of fun.  It'll be nice to finish the film we will throw it up on vimeo and I'll see if there are any short film fests I can send it too, probably put it on social media, and then time to move on too my next move and to continue auditioning.  I am really happy with my commercial agents they really do a great job for me.  I went to church today, met a nice guy named Johnny who dabbled in acting as well.  I have been somewhat serious minded lots of working out, writing, a little shooting, auditioning, sending out postcards, headshots, looking for jobs ect.  I'd like to push myself into some stand up or something of that nature again like the groundlings, I'll need to save for sure though and be smart and budget.  But just be doing something thats fun and creative.  And also look around a little bit at what this city has to offer, my goals and changing a little bit, but at the same time I want to ride this wave, I'm happy about certain parts of how I am doing, just need to keep pressing on.  Saw two movies recently, the duff and focus, I thought they were both decent films, I liked the duff a little more than focus but probably because I had read the duff which was a book.  I am working on turning my bed room into kind of a work space so I can hopefully be more organized and get stuff done in there.  I had a paying job recently and the drill will be kind of the same as usual and that drill is that, that job is over, time to find the next one.  Alrighty dont want to drag this blog out too long, I will update you again when I feel like there are new moves and improvements in what I am doing here, or if I just want to track where I currently am.  Until next time, rest easy, blog.
