Yesterday was my 22nd birthday. I spent it up North with family, friends, and my amazing girlfriend in Davis, CA. It was really wonderful to get to spend the day with so many people that I cared about. I was reminded that I do have a complete life; it’s just that different parts of it may be located farther away than I would like.
21 was a really great age for me. I had my first successful year as a teacher (I taught for 2 years previous to that, but didn’t feel wonderfully about the experience). I was in a successful production of “Take Me Out” that played to sold-out audiences and great reviews in the main stage at The New Conservatory Theater. I matured a lot in my dealings with other people and I finally “sacked up” and moved down to Los Angeles to pursue my acting career.
I am optimistic about how this coming year will pass, but not without some trepidation. I can no longer be considered a whiz kid, boy wonder, Doogie Howser, or prodigy – all terms that were bandied about in my previous careers. I am at last going to be judged as an adult.Just like Neil Patrick Harris who is now forced to prove his mettle beyond his child stardom, I will be evaluated against the same, more universal, yardstick. Here’s hoping I measure up.

Look, bitch, you can't print a sentence like "I will be evaluated against the same, more universal, yardstick" without expecting me and all my friends to sexually harrass you.
Well, I suppose you have a point. Let the harassment continue.
haha welcome to my world, well my world about 3 years ago. Now people don't see the genius whiz kids they see a young guy who thinks he knows everything but he's an adult and he's younger than you so he's really just an arrogant dumb #^@% who needs to know experience is what counts.
Anyways its 4 months late but happy Bday and welcome to the real world.
by the way I"ll be moving down to TO area to work with paul not sure if you've heard or not. will be close by, young couple lookin to meet new people our age, the fiance's a few months younger than you, should hook up. Oh,Did I mention I hate actors (sorry I was a stage manager in a previous career)hope that doesn't affect anything.
