AND A COUPLE DAYS LATER!!

Current Song: One of Those Nights- The Cab

So I realize it has been a couple days since I last made a post but get over it! At least I am here now right??? lol So a something that has been bugging me lately. Now, often I make comments on peoples facebook status's, most of them humorous, some serious. What really upsets me, though, is when the persons status I comment on, when they respond, they respond to the person who commented before me and after me and seem to skip over me. Sometimes makes me wonder if my comment made it up there or if its invisible. Just something that bugs me!!!

The past couple days I have been really  pushing my resume out there for acting opportunities as well as crew jobs. Out of all of them, 20+, I have only heard back from 3. One is out in LA and is free, which I cant take! The second one, I was asked to come out for an audition either tomorrow or Friday! Im thinking of doing it! Why not?? Worth a shot! Then heard back from a movie out in New Orleans. Can't manage to pay but I am working on if anything pay for my travel and other expenses while there. We will see where that goes!

Also, I ended up writing another song since I last hopped on here!(UP ABOVE...NOW IT ISNT UP TO MY POTENTIAL BUT ITS FOR YOU TO GET A FEEL!) It's definitely different from all my other songs I have wrote. Much more up beat and catchy! I am absolutely diggin it!!! I have yet to come up with a name for it so if anyone has any suggestion please feel free to suggest! So with that song done I am getting closer and closer to have a full CD's worth of music! I do want to add one cover on the album. I kinda really want to add the song Breathe by Greenwheel! Such an amazing song!! CHECK IT OUT IF YOU DONT KNOW IT!!!

Let's see, I got a call today from a good friend of mine who is working on the new Discovery Channel's show Autoweek Vinsetta Garage, just letting me know that she will get me back on the show as soon as she could! I swear I love that women! She is so amazing and I am glad I had the chance to work with her in the past! But as each day goes on, I get more excited for my Lead Actor gig out in NY with my Buddy, who is playing the other lead as my buddy, Michael Campbell!

JUST ANOTHER SUNDAY!

Current Song: Put Ur Hands Up-Family Force 5

So pretty much today was a lazy day for me! I woke up at about 11 today and ended up watching 2 movies! I watched Nowhere Boy which was about John Lennon's childhood and then I watch Superstar which I always enjoy!

Out of the 50+ emails I sent out yesterday, I only got a response back from a few. Now makes me wonder if I should even have a fb! What's the point when you don't get a response back when you send a message? I know people might be busy, but at least send a message saying busy, I'll message you later. 2 seconds of you time people!! Whatever I am over it!

I did however look into some more acting/crew jobs not only in Detroit but Chicago and New York. We will see if I hear back from anyone! hahaha Also, I was productive today though! I wrote a new song and did a webcam video! The song is pretty rough and I sing with such power that I distorted the hell out of it!! But it's more or less giving a people an idea of what it sounds like!  You can check it out above!

Tomorrow, I am going to submit an audition video, send a couple emails, edit a couple pictures and post them, might tinker around with another song, do another BLOG and meditate. I will also workout a little! Get back in the grove of things!

Meanwhile, stumbleupon site that everyone should check out.... http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/9UXZZa/twistedsifter.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/polar-bear-hug.jpg/

JUST THE BEGINNING!!!!!!

Current song: Get Out Alive-Socialburn

So this is the very first blog I have ever done. I am new to this but, it's on my list of things to do this year. The whole idea of this blog is to follow the progress of the things I want to accomplish this year. I have lots of things I have on my list. This isn't about "NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS", it's about doing the things that help me succeed in my passion, my career goal. For those of you who don't know what that is, it is to work in the film industry. So far I have had the opportunity to do a lot already.

I have currently been pursuing the film industry for the past couple years. I have worked on multiple features and TV shows as a PA(production assistant) including Harold and Kumar 3, Sparkle, Have A Little Faith, Tattooed in Detroit and Autoweek Vinsetta Garage, to name a few. I recently started being an AD(assistant director) on a couple short films as well as the comedy Margarine Wars with Doris Roberts and Robert Loggia and a horror film called 13th Sign. I've even started Directing, doing a short film, commercial and a TV show pilot that is being pitched to a major network as of now. So all in all I have accomplished quite a bit. However, I have so much more that I need to do, which is why I made a list.

List of what I want to accomplish this year!

1.Record a CD
- I have dabbled in music for a while, being in 2 bands and playing multiple shows. I fell out of it and picked it back up writing a song that has gotten nothing but positive feedback. So I decided that a CD is in store. If the film biz is slow, might as well have something to pick up the slack. 
2. Collaborate musically with a few other artists.
3. Work on at least 3 feature films as a PA, AD or if I'm lucky Director.
4. Work on at least 2 short films.
5. Work on at least 3 TV shows.
-Currently already completed 1 of 3, being I got the opportunity to work as a PA on the SYFY show Haunted Collector. I started this year off with a bang!
6. Work on at least 2 commercials/music videos.
-Might end up completing these shortly being I was approached to Direct a music video in the near future as well as a commercial. 
7. Work on at least 2 projects as an actor.
-That's right I also act! In the past, acted in 2 shorts and had a minor role in 13th Sign as well! But recently, I got booked to be a lead role in an indie horror feature film in NEW YORK during the spring. 
8. Write 2 shorts.
9. Collaborate on writing 1 feature film script.
10. Get one job out of state.
-Between the SyFy gig and the New York gig I will end up getting, either way...COMPLETED!
11. Have 1 trip to another country.
12. Do more Youtube Videos.
-Just started doing this. 
13. Publish some of my poetry.
-Have a few sites I will post on today.
14. Post any/all photography.
15. Do more photography.
16. Learn a new program.
17. Switch Banks.
18. Save more money.
19. Pay off credit card debt.
-Just made a payment today so I am one step closer on this one!
20. Get in better shape
-This is always on every one's, so why not throw it on mine! P90X here I come! hahaha
21. NETWORK!
-Plan on doing some more today!
22. Hang out with more friends.

23. Visit L.A.
24. Create an EBOOK
-Going to look into that today.
25. Create a Blog.

26.Meditate

Now I am not sure how often I will post on here, being I barely update my facebook status, but I will try to as much as I can. Prolly wont have anyone follow this but it's worth a shot! If anyone reading this has any ways to help me complete some of these goals please please please let me know! Meanwhile, I must be going I have some work to do!!!
