I got an email from someone that used my contact form that says they knew me at High School in Arizona. They were thinking about me and tracked me down (not like it’s that hard). However instead of telling me who they were, giving me their contact information and catching up - they instead thought they would be cute and “mess with my mind” and stay anonymous.

Very busy day today. Doing work for my day job in San Francisco, doing work on my scene and working with my partner in preparation for class on Thursday. Wasn’t hit or ran over today so that was a good thing. However working on my scene is not as hard as I first thought.

I figured since yesterday was a good and productive day that today class would be bad. Always seems to be a bad day once you had a good day. I wasn’t to be disappointed. Class was good for me. The bad that happened in class happened to others. Everything bad that happened to me, happened outside of class.

I wasn’t in class on Saturday because I needed to go up to San Francisco to take care of some things. While up there I got to see a few friends, enjoy the fog and cooler weather, get done what I needed to as well as see the city and my place again. The wierd part was I thought I would feel better once I got up there, instead I felt like I had no home. SF felt comfortable and familiar but not home, LA seemed distant and foreign but had most of my stuff and my routine. I felt like a lost soul with no body to call home.

I know I have been a slacker by not keeping my website updated with what is happening. I have been meaning to but can’t seem to find the time to do it. If I’m not doing homework for class, I’m doing work for my day job back in San Francisco. When not doing that I’m at acting class which gets me home close to midnight. I get to bed late and thus get up late in the day. My sleep schedule is all off. I feel like I’m back in college.
Even because of this, I am going to push myself to post information. Even if it may not be a novel or even a lot. Something is better than nothing.
Today in class we were introduced to something to add to our exercises with our partner and while on stage. We were given a paragraph (5 sentences) that stated the following.
“I am going to put all my attention on my partner. I am going to give them a minute or two to get involved with what they are doing. During that time I am going to go through it with my partner as if I’m doing it myself. When I have an opinion based on their behavior I will begin the repetition exercise. Making sure to throw my energy to my partner and pull an answer back.”

I didn’t think it could get any more uncomfortable and boy was I wrong. Not only was it uncomfortable but it was very emotional. Given that, it was a great day in class.

That is a quote from today’s class (4th day of class). Not only did I learn that quote but also experienced it. Earlier in the day (Monday that is) my partner and I met up and did 2 hours of work for our class (our homework if you can call it that). We did good, made some progress, learned things about ourselves and in general had a positive experience. Once we got into class, things change.

I slept in today because I didn’t have class today and just felt like it. Got up, started to get some emails sent out, get my work computer up and running and also looked online for a gym to work out at. Found a few 24 hour fitness locations and decided to drive to the closest one to check out if I’m going to be able to work out there.

Woke up Tuesday feeling blue and somewhat depressed. I have my first acting class today and I don’t know what to expect. I’m nervous about it and also starting to wonder what the hell am I doing in LA and doing this all for. I don’t know anyone here, don’t know the rules or secrets and don’t know the area. I thought about when I was a kid and my parents dropped me off at soccer camp and left. That feeling of abandonment and fear. Not knowing what to do, when to do it, how to do it and just plain lonely. Guess I’m feeling like I’m instead at Acting Camp now.
