Happiness

You know that moment, all the sudden it just hits you, you're generally happy because you're doing something that you love. It makes you happy and  being happy makes you happy.

That's what happens when I do Theater.

Damnit! I shouldn't be this happy for sitting in a chair for 3 hours and writing but I am.

I'm driving home and I keep smiling because I'm fucking ecstatic at this point. There's no rhyme or reason to it, I'm just simply happy.  If this is all that takes for me to be happy, how much does that make me a simple soul.

It's not very often that I actually get to be happy for no apparent reason. This is nice.

The most important thing is to enjoy your life-to be happy-it's all that matters.

Workin'

Being a working actor is one of my favorite feelings in the world.

Nothing makes me more excited than getting a phone call from someone that wants you to work on a project or that you got the role.

It doesn't mention the work ahead, there's plenty, but it's just your joy, the ecstasy of having something to do that makes you happy. Yes, rehearsals can be hard, memorization (at least for me) is hard.

But you know what, nothing in this world worth having is easy. It makes me so euphoric, like I'm in a musical and I'm going to sing about love.

There are some advantages to this crazy world we call show business.

In the language of an actor, to know is synonymous with to feel.

Musings On Not Liking Certain People

Realizing the fact that just because you don't like someone, does not make you a horrible person. It simply means you have an opinion, which isn't always necessarily a bad thing.

Sometimes there are just "wrong" people for your life. Don't let anyone manipulate you into thinking that you have to like someone; yes you should in fact know how to work with people you don't like, but that's a different skill set.

At the end of the day all you can do is keep doing you! (And keep the body count low [JK])

When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but, creatures of emotion.

What On Earth Is This Blog About?

Well this blog is the place where I can collect my thoughts, idea, and concepts on Theatre in general.

I'm writing this so I can talk about people and things. (That some people know exactly who/what I'm talking about.) I'm not going to names names, but I am going to talk about my frustrations in a logical-ish manner and maybe, possibly, even address some solutions or other ways to go about them.

If you're smart enough to figure out who I am, (I'm not trying too particularly hard to not say who I am), if you could not tell everyone who I am, that would be great.

I want to make a name for myself. I’ll make it out of a pseudonym.
