Ok...ok... =P

So I went out an enjoyed my day off... I was going to blog today... really... I was =P

Anyhow - things this past week have been a little slow, which has been nice. Mainly just working and getting ready to buy some plane tickets for the different wedding we are apart of this spring/summer. P&K - is the rehearsal going to be Saturday the 27th? Are you going to need me to be home any sooner than that morning or any later than Monday the 30th?

So I have been working out most everyday and eating really good. Auditioning a bunch - I had an audition for a Milwaukee's Best Beer commercial the other day, so we shall see if I get a callback on that one. I also have an audition tomorrow for a short film through UCLA which should be fun.

Saw "Date Movie" with Bree the othe day at the Arclight Cinema's in Hollywood - which happens to be the most state-of-the-art movie theatre in the US, so a very nice place to see a flick! The movie was very funny and I would say see an early show, as a full price tickets is not really worth it, but seeing it is... or rent it.

Also, this Saturday I have firearms training for the pilot I am working on, "Crisis". It should be alot of fun, since I have never fired a gun in my life (at least not that I can remember...)

So I think that is all the "news" for now. Check back for more... oh yeah, Chris, just let me know when you guys are coming out and we can figure out what we can do and where you can crash - you are welcome to stay with us! =)

Best Fishes!

This one is for all my peeps in the back row!

First I want to take a moment to respond to an email that I got. This is a "Support Shout-out" to Kel.

Kel, I read the email about you and needing to kick it into overdrive. So far I hear that you are doing good with the support of those around you and that is great. Now, I want to tell you a little story, maybe you remember this and maybe you don't (I am sure that Scott does though). Scott and I had just moved into the dorms at Stritch and we had made friends with one Angella, who thought that it would be a cool idea to get up and go running at the butt crack of dawn. And I thought that was a great idea too, except that I hate getting up early and I really hated working out at all at that time... and Scott said I would never get up... and I didn't. Because I was one of the laziest peeps I know! But now, I work out every day, going running, and even the King of Fast Food, has cut himself down to once a week! ONE TIME A WEEK! So, hell girl, if "Cpnt. I rather be eating a Dbl Quater Pounder and Playing Halo" can change his ways, so can you! And what is even better, you start to really get into eating good and working out once you start to see the changes - you don't have to give up good foods, add in healthy one, create new good foods, go one day at a time - keep the big goal in mind but don't focus on it everyday as though you aren't getting there - you have to work backwards from your goal to find the little day-to-day goals for yourself and you will be there in no time!

Just ask yourself - What would Superman Do? No freak'n wuss out - that's what - now buck up, your doing great! Keep up the good work!

Okay, so now onto the update...

So it has been like two weeks or something again... I know, I am really trying to get to this everyday and somehow Halo calls or my bed... and I just don't pick this over that - but here I am.

Well, since the 1st alot of good things have happened and I will give the overview now

~ Bree and I met with our agent and learned about changes that are going to be happening in the next few months - growing big and strong, we can hardly wait!

~ Had an audition for the new WWE video game to do motion capture work - I got to audition for John F'n CENA! It was great!

~ Did my 1st of 2 shows with 3KO and it went great - while no real industry people were there, Bree, Nick and Dash all came and they seemed to love it, which was great!

~ Learned that my Simmon's Commercial is going to be run in Spanish now too! So more money, more money!

~ Work at my agent's office and helped with some submissions

~ Worked on/Filmed the Court TV show "L.A. Forensics"(I will post when it is playing, when I find out) I play a CSI cop named Larry Blanton - it is a "re-creation" type show, so I don't really say anything but it was still cool. (Pics to follow... I am trying to get them out of my phone and the won't freak'n come out! AHH!)

~ Got some leads on getting our SAG cards!

~ I have a few audition coming up this week for some commercial and short film work.

~ Finally got a copy of mine and Bree's work on "The Lion in Winter" short that we did for the Art School. It looked good.

~ Found out there was another screening of "Resurrection Mary" this past week - sold out. Buyers are fighting over the film and so it looks like some money is going to be made on that one and there is going to be another screening of it coming up soon! (details to follow)

...I believe that is everything up to today...

Let's Rock out with... you know the rest
