Updates
What do you want to hear? I cut a big movie deal and will be rich, filthy rich? The
script sold and now I'm driving a Bentley; sipping on Grey Goose and tonic? No.
There is nothing to tell except the weather agrees with me and people don't know how
to tip. I should stop here. I really should. But two paragraphs don't make a column... even
if the column is about you.
There's no response on the script... that means either they haven't read it yet or they
don't like it.
This past week, I was planning on training (Jeet Kune Do) again, but the flu kicked my ass.
It isn't SARS, but it sure felt like it.
Auditions
I went to two auditions last week. One was a commercial audition for a casino. I had a
hundred degree fever and saw things. Don't know how I managed that one. Another one was
for Teahouse of the August Moon, a play. If I did any worst, I would have to quit acting.
I couldn't remember my lines; let alone what my intentions were. The director was really
nice and didn't chew me out for wasting his time.
The worst audition was my first audition way back in Eastern CT State University in the
mid 1990s. That was my first and I didn't have a clue about anything.
Threes
Why do bad things happen in threes? Why doesn't a good thing happen in threes? Like if
you get laid, why can't you get laid two more times and by two different girls? My three
started with the flu, kicked in the groin when my dryer decided to die and spat in the
face when my car wouldn't start.
What about you people out there? What are your worst threes?
Threes
It's a little too late but Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there. Dads don't get
enough respect in the world. Today should be your day to sit around, drink lots of beer,
eat lots of meat and do nothing. Yeah! Do that.
29 years...
June 2 1974. 29 years ago I was born. It is days like these that stop you. You look around
and assess your life. Really count what you have... no daydreaming tales or digging into the
nostalgic past.
29 years of wisdom? Sounds good on a fortune cookie.
Material things? I don't have anything worth of anything.
A future? I could choke on a cherry typing this... never mind that I've eaten maybe four
cherries in my lifetime... you just never know.
What do I really have?
You have your family. That's the only thing you have.
Without your family you have no one.
Girlfriends come and go but your family will stand behind you and put up with you.
This is really depressing...
Speaking of that awful audition. I figure there was no chance I was going to get a call
back, so I chopped off most of my hair. Well, two days later, I got a part in the play.
This goes to show you that I know nothing. I know less than nothing.
