I’m tired; really tired.  These overnight hours and running a career during the day is taking its toll on me.  I’m not sure what to do different or if I should be doing anything different.  I think I’m on the right path to reach my goals in life.  Well, sometimes I think that.  Oftentimes I’m really excited, sometimes just excited and sometimes…kinda blue/blah.  Fortunately I don’t get downright depressed very often, but I does happen from time to time.  Thankfully, that state of mind doesn’t usually last more than a few to, at the most, several hours.  In general, I’m very encouraged about the future.  

Anyway, while in a deep, restful sleep, my phone rang at 10:45 this morning.  It was one of my theatrical agents.  He wanted to know if I could make it to the valley by 12pm for a one-day guest star audition that shoots in a few days in Atlanta.  It was last minute because casting emailed him over the weekend, but there was a problem when he forwarded the info to me so I had no knowledge of the appointment…until 10:45 this morning.

So I hopped out of bed, waited for the email, downloaded/printed the sides, took a shower and blazed over to CBS Radford.  Of course I can make it!  It’s my job to make it.

Audition: “The Game” @ Guthrie/Goddard-Smythe Casting.  I felt like it went well, but I wish I could have delivered the re-direct on the first take.  Somebody is going to the ATL in a few days…I sure would like it to be me.

Okay, it’s 6:30pm and I should probably be at home resting because I am scheduled to work at the restaurant at 9pm, PLUS I have a 7am call to shoot my scene in BEVERLY HILLS CHIHUAHUA 3 in the morning.  So where am I?  Not sleeping.  I’m heading into a seminar entitled INSIDER MARKETING TIPS for the Pro Actor! @ the Showbiz Café.  The seminar was sponsored by Breakdown Services & CastingAbout. 

Right before going into the seminar my agent called with an appointment for THE OFFICE tomorrow morning.  It’s not looking like I’ll be able to make the appointment.  OUCH!  BUT working on a feature is a pretty good reason to not be able to make it. 

Anyway, back to the seminar.  It’s funny, I ran into a few people that were surprised that I was attending…even the organizers were surprised to see me.  I’m not sure why. I hope nobody thinks that I think I know everything there is to know about getting ahead in this business.  I have a long way to go; there is so much I haven’t experience that I hope to.  Plus, I’m an information junkie that likes to learn whatever is out there to learn.  When it was over I had to race out of there to get from West LA to West Hollywood to sling me some burgers into the wee hours of the morning.
