Confessions
So today, I woke up at whatever time it was after tossing and turning all night long. Don’t you hate those nights. Last night I met with George Carr, an actor, producer, director and artisan extraordinaire. We went over to the Gansevoort Hotel, where my boy, Mark works. Mark introduced me to George. We discussed everything under the moon, which was full and brighter than ever. It was chill and we came to the conclusion that if you dream it, you can do it, and it WILL come. Those are very true words, the power of visualization cannot be overestimated. He is working on a new show, Whole, which I read for the 2nd billing as a badboy hustler, Ray Walters. His writing is so compelling and as he stated full of ‘confessions’. Life itself can metaphorically be represented by a series of confessions. Art imitates life and permeates it, thus art is your most honest confession. Anyways, we discussed many things, but being true and believing was the ultimate dessert for our feast.
Today, I woke up and prepared to meet Cathy and Aaron from a management company. I must confess, I was wiped out and it took a lot of preparation to get to a state of awareness. Once I was there, I spent several hours working with my choice for my first monologue I delivered. My choice was what I was working to create to stimulate life within me and my scene. That I will not confess to you. However, at one point I was so moved on the train I had about 10 people staring at me. Interesting moment that was.
So I made it and spoke for awhile, things went great, a little chit chat and 2 monologues later I left. We will see what happens, I did my best and was myself, all that I can ask. However, while preparing today it was full of discoveries of those who you regard as sacred to you and your heart. It reminded me and hopefully you, that you must reach out and call them and communicate this appreciation.
Later, I cruised the city on some errands. I hit the Manhattan Theatre Source to sign up for a future audition. Lanie, George’s assistant was there. It’s such a small community in this city of 8 million. However, if I ever wanted to run into that guy who found my phone on the train, or the other kind soul you never spoke to or thanked; odds are it’ll never happen. So Carpe Diem, Seize the Day and reach out while you can.
Tonight, I hit the gym with my best bud, Dan, we were there for 2 hours, it seemed like forever, I was ready after 45minutes, but he just kept going. He’s an animal sometimes, like my own personal trainer. His brother, Raun, is going to work with me on my film in TX to help Photoshop images of me and the other lead, to make them look like old family photos. Well, I am tired of writing, there’s more, but this is plenty.
Long story short, confessions are a natural part of life, let them take their course. Do what you can now, because tomorrow may be too late.
