I LIKE BEING BUSY!

Starting Song: Chicago-25 or 6 to 4

BOOM!!!

So yesterday wasn't so much productive as I would have liked it to be. I pretty much spent the day watching a couple movies. So in a sense, I was studying my craft! But I watched The Devil Inside, which I was dissapointed in. Had potential to be good, but the ending was just sooooo weak! Then I watched the American version of Girl With A Dragon Tattoo. Was very good, however, I am still extremely fond of the Swedish version!

After that I went and hung out with a friend of mine(number 22) and watched Whats Your Number. I thought that it was pretty damn funny! I enjoyed it a lot! I ended up leaving around 6AM and stopped at a 7-11 to get cigarettes. As I was in there I heard the cashier talking about film. So of course I started talking to him. WE ENDED UP BULLSHITTING ABOUT FILM FOR LIKE 3 HOURS!!! Very smart guy! He definitely knows his shit! And very well could be working with him in the near future! Well he ended up talking about his buddy he works with and said his last name was IGNAGNI. It made me stop in my tracks.... why?? Because my grandpas last name was IGNAGNI until he changed it to Victor. Now, I do not know any of the IGNAGNI family whatsoever, so I might be working with someone who I have a relation to BY COMPLETE HAPPENSTANCE! Small world INDEED!!

Time for WHAT"S IN MY BAG OF STUMBLEUPON GOODIES!!!

Today was a lot more of a productive day! Not only did I get things in line for my taxes (receipts and millage) but I submitted 2 audition videos and went for an audition! The first video was for a comedy called Chatline. I auditioned for the role of Harry. This one is paid...and pays pretty damn good if selected! Check it out!

Then I auditioned for a drama called Internal Conflict with will be filmed out in New Orleans. Unfortunately, this one is not paid, so if I get the part I might have to turn it down because that will be to much money I would be spending to do it! The live audition was for a horror film out in Novi called Attacked on Set. I NAILED THE AUDITION! They seemed extremely pleased and loved my performance. This one is also not paid but it's a hell of a lot closer then the other one. I also submitted my information to other productions in hope that I could also get an audition or even cast! 

And finally, I have been getting things settled to go and have a sit down with my buddy regarding recording a CD soon, which I AM LOOKING FORWARD TOO!!

So like I said previously, THIS YEAR IS A NO BULLSHIT YEAR FOR ME!!! I have to make it! This is my passion, this is my goal, this is my love! I have many things that I have to accomplish this year and playing games is not one of them. So if any of you have any suggestions on ways to accomplish my goals, or would like to help me accomplish my goals feel free to help!
