Acting in a Digital World
I remember when I was a kid and would go shopping with my mom. While we were there we would always ask for a toy and maybe this snack or that. But one that stands out in my mind is these smoothie packets. It was so great to drink and was nothing but some of the greatest memories as a child.
Now as an adult, I read the nutrition info. My God! My mom was feeding this to her kids! She must have hated us and tried to give us heart attacks at the tender age of 8!
I am finally metal free! I have just gotten my braces off today. First a little back story.

Just got back from Northern California. Everytime I am making the drive home, I wonder to myself why I thought it was a good idea to drive and why I can’t seem to remember that the starting drive isn’t bad, it’s always the return home.

The screening for My Grief Is My Own went OK. It would have been nice to have more people attend it but with such short notice and the nature of acting/entertainment/film making in LA, I shouldn’t be surprised.
It was nice to see Jim Breen again (writer and director of both films). I haven’t seen him in awhile and although we weren’t able to meet up for drinks or dinner like we planned, we still found time after the showing to talk about upcoming projects.
The best part about the screening was how excited I was afterwards. I was looking forward to getting some free time to start putting my ideas on to paper and starting to get them made.
Now just have to figure out which one I’m going to start on first!
Well it FINALLY is here. The little part I had (and talk about on this website) in My Grief is My Own (MGMO) is going to available for anyone that is in the Los Angeles area to see. It has taken awhile to get completed because Jim faced numerous problems and issues in getting it done. Although he stuck with it and finished it.
The Los Angeles screening for My Grief is My Own and Valentine’s Day will be on Sunday June 29th 2008. Although I had a very small role in My Grief is My Own, I would still be grateful if you could come and show your support! It is going to be at the Echo Park Film Center. Information and trailers are below.

Happy Halloween!
Hope you have a safe, fun and chocolate filled Halloween!
And if you ever find yourself near Pennsylvania, be sure to head over to Chocolate World! It’s a place that I will always love forever, hold close to my heart and never forget.
I got back from San Francisco last Thursday and upon returning, I realized the truth behind a song performed by a hair band in the 80’s. There was a song called “Don’t Know What You’ve Got Till It’s Gone” by Cinderella. that was on MTV and radio while I was growing up. I understood what it meant but at my young age I hadn’t been through enough in life to fully understand.
I can’t seem to get to sleep. I’m thinking it’s because I worked out and ate late tonight. My brain can’t and won’t shut off. So I decided to get up and put it here in hopes of getting sleepy.
I’ve been working out recently. If you can’t love LA for anything, you can at least love LA to motivate yourself into getting in better shape. Everywhere I turn someone has a bigger or better body. Yes it can be taken to an extreme such as you see on TV and in the news but use it careful and it’s a great motivator to have some of the best looking people in the world around you.
I watched Hotel Rwanda recently. It was a very moving film. It made me angry, laugh, cry and motivate me to get involved and not stand by. However, after some time passed and I was watching the special features of the DVD, I got very upset. Who I was upset with was surprising. I was upset with myself. I was upset with my Country, the UN and the “civilized” world.
Here was one man fighting to save 1,200+ people from being killed. Yet we as a nation and a world, did nothing. We turned our backs, turned off our TVs and went on with our lives. Ten years later, we create a movie detailing this story and the story of roughly one million people in Rwanda being killed. We nominate the film for an award, pat each other on the backs for “bringing the truth” out in the open. But what about stopping this behavior? Why aren’t we ashamed of our complete lack of a response back then?
The worst part? This is happening yet again in a place called Darfur. History repeats yet again. When will we learn? Or do we just not care because they are in another country and of a different color?
This photo was taken on today.
Yesterday was my last day of my first year acting class. As soon as I got home I trimmed by beard and while that felt better, I needed to cut my hair. Today I was able to find time to go get that done. What do you think? I decided to keep my sideburns and goatee since I had taken the time to grow them out. Might as well as wear it around for a little bit. Who knows how long I’ll have it for…when I get tired of it, I’ll just shave it off. Until then, I’m still scruffy but I think in less of a Vietnam veteran way.
