I little too early and a little too late.

There is a little bit of everything that is being thrown into this blog, a bit of; Christmas, new years, and a few things in between and after these lovely dates.

First off, I was able to head east for Christmas this year, which was very much refreshing after about 2 years away. I highly enjoyed my family and friends who had come to pick me up and some to see me go home, and for those of which who hung out in between. Somethings i have come to find during the holiday season, that there isn't too much of that Christmas joy (on Christmas day) that i remember so vividly as a child. Don't get me wrong, i was spoiled and i hope they feel spoiled back. Although there is no anxiousness or the dire need to get up at 5 on Christmas morning like i have done for almost eleven years in the past (maybe even 18, but lets not open that laughable door). It was great though, I was able to see about three or four family members that i haven't seen in about a little over 2 years. I was also pleased to see my cousins all driving! Scary! The food was good, the company was great and the time well spent at home for Christmas was splendid.

Even though Christmas came as fast as it did since i landed my plane, I still had about 6 days to spend at home. One of the days that came after was the day I headed into New York to look for a place in Brooklyn and look at the place of work that I could transfer from. Now New York to me is home away from home, it has my tempo of life and its constantly evolving. Its a place where you feel completley on your own, although your really never alone. It was nice to spend the time i did there and then was able to leave and head to quieter paced time.

Then it was time to leave and head back west. Sometimes its harder to leave a place you love even though you thought it was going to be easy. Its hard to live so far away from your parents, even if you talk to them everyday on the phone, its still weird to not have them sitting on your couch or saying goodnight from a room away. Its nice sometimes to have space to yourself, but its even nicer to be closer. I had a great time going home and really can't wait till i can do it again, or even be back in the same time zone.

Next off was taking some time to get back into the routine of things back to my other home. Tonight we celebrated, or should i say gathered to do a thing called "Beeswax Ear Cleansing". not some ritual that I am used to neither they, but it was something i guess we all decided to do. It was rather fun none the less. This party consisted of Bees wax ear candles, paper plates, and matches. These bees wax ear candles are inserted in your ear, on one end of the candle farthest from your ears is lit. This fire burns the ear wax candle which then makes a air tunnel that sucks the mildly melted ear wax from inside your ear. Once the candle hits a safe length to the paper plate that is protecting your hair and ear from burning you pull it out and unravel the left bees wax. There you should find, in which we all did, massive amounts of now naturally formed pieces of your ear wax that has been melted, sucked out, and then reformed on the paper. Gross but very interesting.This is about a ten minute process to clean your ears out. So we made it a family event.... Everyone had to try one, and they worked very well. One fact i did learn from this was that q-tips only pack down the wax and only taking what was on the walls of your ear out.

Anyways, I am back now and fully ready to start auditioning again, and starting with one tomorrow. I do know that Easier with Practice is having their film premiering soon since I know post is now completed. Talk to you soon.

I am here about the advert.

Today i was viciously attacked with silly string, didn't find it "Silly" or fun. So no i am here on the computer waiting for my sweater to come out of the wash. Just to let you know that Silly string reeks. I reeks like melted plastic and vinegar, and i swear my sweater ingested some of the smell. Now that i am freezing, i will try and put some creative mind thinking to work. I also have a little fun fact to tell you, if you have already heard this then just move on to the next interesting thing i think i have to say. I just found out that Silly string has been sent to many troops, for the fact that they use it to find booby traps. They spray the lightweight string in front of them as they walk, and they can tell where the string falls or draps it can point out a possible booby trap. Intersting yes i know.

The beluga whale is the only whale that can swim backwards. They also become whiter with age.


Alright alright. I recently have come to the decision of relocating. Most people i have already told this to, but some new ones can know along the way. I will be moving to New York (Brooklyn or Manhatten) come april. Another 3,000 mile trip/move. I think it will be the best decision on relocation for me and I am very excited about my decision and some what nervous. But there are those common nerves that come with decisions like this. I will be looking for an apartment come feb and making the move shortly there after.

till next time.

They always come crawling back...

Apologies for the lack of updates? Information? or just falling off the face of the earth? Either of which I am terribly bad for doing. I am just finally getting a chance to breathe in almost two months, maybe three?

I actually don't remember even when my last post had taken place, I do know that since then I have been running around and basically not having even the inch of space to think. To give a quick updated run down.... I have been auditioning. We have about 4 or 5 tv shows filming right now, and of course I am a lot younger looking than I am, so most of the stuff I have been auditioning for have not really worked out in my favor. Which, if its not meant to be, don't dwell.

The things i have done in the past two or three months:

1. registered to VOTE! yay! I will be in fact voting for Obama.
2. Went to Denver for a two day music fest called "Monolith 08" in red rocks.
3. Went to San Diego for the first time ever - during Comic Con and had such an amazing time with friends and the city/beach it self.
4. turned 21. Couldn't have asked for a better birthday ever. It was just a weekend to remember, and yes I remember is all. :)
5. just living my life the way I can and meeting amazing people along the way. The past couple months have been more of a letting loose kind of life style... Not going crazy.. but using that hard earned money to just live a little and travel a bit. I was starting to feel a little cooped up and needed to break free. Although going to Denver, San Diego, and Arizona have been the release I needed to have so I can now buckle down for the next couple months.

Also, "Legion" release date has now been pushed back to 2010. Sad, yes, sad, but there are always reasons to things and just have to amp up the anticipation for it in 2010.

Well sorry to say but that is all for now, and promise I will catch everything up when I get another second to breathe.

Its been a while.

The lack of or there of? Either way I have been a bit absent. I have just been auditioning for now, and most of you know, I don't blog about auditions. For some reason I feel like its bad Karma, weird but its the way I feel.

With new headshots on the way, and getting a new demo done with footage from the eye, and terminator. I am going to be doing a big mailing in the next couple weeks. Not a big fan of things that can't be done in a night, but patience brings success, or so I am hoping.

I have been giving my life plan alot of thought latley, my mother would laugh at this because I actually think of it every second I can get in a day. I will and be putting my self in LA with in the next 6 months. Its not "Offical" as to when I will be actually moving (March or April), but its where i need to be and where I can pursue what i want with 100 million other trouts, guppies, and basses. The comfortable thing about the aspect of moving is, I have accomplished being SAG, which means I can continue to be SAG and hopefully hold that title of being professional.

I will be writting more as more stuff comes through that needs to be written. Until then I am going to continue auditioning, submitting, and being positive. :)

Day 4, I am wrapped!

Today was an amazing day. I am officially wrapped on Legion as of 11:55! The last scene of mine was shot, the director said i was a "3 take wonder", shook my hand and said thank you so much. I couldn't feel more accomplished.

Here are some footage with some friends on set!
Its Alexandria (Kate Walsh's Double), Angelic Midthunder (my double, stunt double) and me (in full make-up! sexy)

Here we are again. looking oh so pretty on set.Me and Alexandria catching the sunrise on set!

This was the best. Couldn't be any happier on this turn out.
Thank you crew and cast for all your support and work. Glad to have been apart of it :)

My screen shots from "The Eye"

Talking to Sydney (Alba), asking if this is a terriost attack:

Then I am told that yes, there is a bomb on the bus:

I am diving in..

This week has been sort of a whirl wind effect. Things go wrong, things go the way they should and there are little surprises that move forward. The things that go wrong are only categorized as "bad" or "wrong" because we have been influenced to do so, instead of taking those wrong things and seeing them in a positive light. I have been influenced on many occasions to see the wrong in things and being aggressive with posing myself as the "victim". My parents have tried to instill in me the "glass is half full" instead of the other way around. Although, that will and has changed.

I have become a much more positive person, than I was a week ago or even two years ago! I have been working since I was fourteen, I have learned the downs of this business, and I have learned them fast. Actors: Don't ever rely on someone to please you, don't ever let someone tare you down, and don't ever let anyone show your place in life - only I, you, and the other guy know who we are and know where we stand. In this business, only certain people know how it feels, to feel like you don't amount in status. Heriarchy, I feel is just another way for someone to one up another, instead of just realizing we are all the same. For me all these projects I am doing, are stepping stones. Once i have done a project I don't linger on it for too long and I am looking ahead again.

Tonight: I am heading to set to film my last day on "Legion". I will be shooting out on location! yay, in the middle of nowhere! I got the call sheet, and its Dennis Quaid, me and another fellow actor!

Day 3 on Legion

So I went back for my third day on Legion, this was an overnight on location in Gallisteo New Mexico. It was an awesome night, got to meet alot of the stunt doubles, as well as my own stunt double Angelic Midthunder! We watched the tape from that day and it was amazing what she did, busting through a glass window!

Here is Day 3 on set!
Here is my on set location trailer! I didn't spend any time in it though, I was on set from 9:30pm till 7 am!
