It seems I've even taken a vacation from blogging. I will make all good efforts to add missed entries, but posting might also pose as a distraction from the real goal: getting work as an actor. To recap my major social engagements of late:
- Spending the day at Six Flags Magic Mountain with Loren, Joanne, and Diablo.
- Dinner with Diablo, Prince, Joanne, and Loren who made it (absolutely amazing, get yourself invited to one of his dinners).
- Bourne Ultimatum w/ Prince & Loren: SEE THIS MOVIE, the Bourne movies really are tremendous.
- Pool party with Lolly at the home of the big momma of the LA Blues Dancing Scene.
- Photoshoot with Natalie and Michael; one as a boy-next-door from the 40s, the other as Tyler Durden from Fight Club.
- Acme Comedy's improvised Star Trek spoof.
- Attended Richard Seyd's acting class once.
- Contacted Dallas Travers about getting help finding an agent/getting established.
- Contacted Judy Kerr (author of Acting Is Everything) to setup a meeting where I'll get an orientation to the business down here.
- Investigated the "Actor's Network" - I'll join if I can work out the financial requirements.

Your first lesson, Grasshopper, is that social activities also double as networking, no matter how depraved the people you are hanging out with seem. Hollywood touches just about everyone in Southern California and not always in apparent ways.
Just don't expect ME to do anything for your career. I'll only go to Matt Damon movies with you. As for the acting, you're on your own, pal.
Now snatch the pebble from my palm.
That said, don't turn into one of those actors who only hang out with annoying, disgusting people just because they blew an agent once and can get you a meeting. That kind of shit takes years off your life. And, believe me, you don't want to shoot up your face with botulism until you're AT LEAST 23.
Basically, I'm giving you permission to go out and have fun.
I can't stop talking.
Clearly. ;-)
